I am a clinical psychologist with 35 years of experience providing psychotherapy. My current private practice serves adults, with a specialty in geriatric psychology. I have practiced in Burlington, VT, Plantation, FL, Pompano Beach, FL, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and in upstate NY. My approach to therapy is person-centered cognitive behavioral. I primarily offer an ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on, and guidance on how to make your life better than it is. This may include a variety of other approaches and techniques. My education includes a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology, and a post-doctoral Master of Science in Psychopharmacology. I like to say I have studied both the art and the science of psychotherapy. My personal life provides a broad spectrum of experiences including having lived in cities, the suburbs, and in rural areas. I have been married, divorced, remarried, and widowed, and have a vary large family and extended family. Treating depression, anxiety, grief & loss, chronic mental illness, family & relationship issues, and poor-self esteem are some of my areas of expertise.

Hi. I'm Gloria, LMHC in the FL State. Are you going through depression, anxiety, long-lasting effects of trauma, adjustment to new cultures, or dealing with children and adolescents with behavioral problems? Are you part of a minority facing bigotry and adaptation to the main culture; or having relational problems preventing you from having the good life you deserve? In a few words, are you a human being who is struggling to be the best that you can be? If your answer is yes to one of these questions then, you are the client I want to serve. Together we can find the tools you need to grow and enhance your strengths; yes your strengths, those that you have even if you can't recognize them. I’ll work within an array of therapeutic approaches, always in the here and now, to familiarize yourself with your mind and its work because I’m convinced that, “ Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." Depression, anxiety, losses, adjustments, trauma these all are inexhaustible sources of pain. We all, as humans, share them so, "Maybe that's the point of humanitarianism, it's in making the effort, it's in sending the message that you actually care." I care. Feel free to contact me.

Hello and thank you for checking out my profile and considering me in your current journey. My name is Jeff Moyer, licensed mental health therapist. I understand that therapy can be intimating and so I applaud you for taking this step in looking at options for support. My goal is to help change the perception of therapy and help clients see it as a positive way to support mental health, and just another way of developing one's health, just like with our physical health. I want to guide clients in developing positive changes in their life, so they feel better and healthier, emotionally. Therapy isn’t about changing who you are, but it’s about finding possible alternatives to support change in the areas that may be causing problems in our life. Thank you again for looking into ways to be more emotionally healthy, and I am here to help if you decide you would like to get started.

Welcome! I'm Bianke Gadsden, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping individuals overcome the shadows of depression and anxiety. My journey in mental health has led me to specialize in two distinct areas: supporting young adults navigating the complex terrain of PTSD rooted in childhood trauma and supporting those who face major life adjustments due to medical/physical disabilities or the challenges of aging. As a seasoned clinician I bring empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions to the therapy room. My mission is to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for individuals struggling with the impact of childhood trauma (or) complex PTSD, that often results in feelings of depression and anxiety. My commitment extends to those facing life-altering changes brought about by medical conditions or the aging process.

Hello, My name is Oshena, but many call me Shena. I recently obtained my Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I have over 4 + years of mental health experience. My experience consists of working in case management, hospice - bereavement- grief counseling, mental health field, inpatient psychiatric facility, outpatient mental health services, mobile response crisis counselor, group therapy, adolescent therapy, and substance use counselor. I am deeply passionate about working with a wide range of individuals, including young adults, older adults, older teens, and adults, to help them navigate the everyday challenges that life presents. These challenges often manifest as societal pressures and the need to conform, which can result in lower self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. My approach is rooted in harnessing an individual's identified strengths and empowering them to overcome life's hurdles. These obstacles may include anxiety, depression, grief, self-doubt, anger management, boundary-setting, communication issues in relationships, burnout, and the challenges of transitioning into adulthood. My favorite metaphor is based on a rubber band. "Like people, rubber bands come in different shapes, sizes, textures, lengths and flexibility. If you stretch a rubber band to the max it typically bounces back into shape due to elasticity." Based on this, I firmly believe in starting where you are to work on breaking down those walls of narrow thinking to bounce back with your elasticity to positive thinking and push towards resilience. Having faith in yourself marks the initial stride, and by seeking guidance, you've already embarked on the next leg of your journey. You hold the resilience needed to conquer the challenges you've encountered, even if it feels daunting. In the realm of therapy, my guiding principle is to embrace the process of healing and personal development with an open heart. I'm here to support you on this journey.

I am a licensed mental health counselor and a certified trauma professional who specializes in working with individuals experiencing posttraumatic stress, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, divorce, and other life transitions. I entered the mental health field with the desire to empower survivors of trauma to not only recover, but to thrive. My background as a former speech-language pathologist makes me especially trained to help clients build communication and interpersonal skills that foster healthy relationships. This must begin, however, by developing that most important healthy relationship – the relationship one has with oneself.
