Hi. I'm Jessica. I am NOT a conventional therapist. If you identify as spiritual, a spiritual seeker, a mystic, Pagan, a Witch, etc. and have been trying to find a therapist that you could relate to, let's talk.
My approach is holistic and wellness based which is therapist-talk that means I understand that all those patterns that may be currently keeping you from stepping into your next best Self/life served a purpose at one point in time - you won't find any judgment here. I customize your care to your specific needs to help you connect with your innate ability to heal. In our sessions, I blend compassion, some humor and a few f-bombs with holding you accountable and calling you in to cultivate the healing you deserve. I help all those who are allergic to superficiality and looking to live life at a deeper level do just that. Spiritual + grounded af.

Hi, I'm Heather, pronouns she/they! I'm an LCSW and I have 10+ years of experience providing mental health therapy to individuals, couples, and families. My experience working with people who are neurodivergent has allowed me to help them work through feeling stuck, unheard, and/or trapped within our system of social norms and unrealistic expectations. I identify as queer and have worked with clients in all stages of recognizing their queerness. I also have experience working with those who have experienced trauma whether due to their sexuality, abusive relationships, upbringing, or otherwise.
I offer virtual therapy sessions, walk-and-talks (therapy where we meet in public but maintain privacy and get our steps in by walking while we talk), and in-home therapy sessions. I do not have a brick and mortar client location; if you are not meeting me virtually we are meeting in public or in your home. In-home appointments will have an additional fee. The address listed on this profile is the most common place clients tend to want to meet for walk-and-talks; but I am more than open to meeting in other public, yet private, locations.

Have you had enough yet?
I can help you identify ways to improve your confidence as you struggle through coping with family, career, anxiety, depression, or identity issues. I have worked in teens and adults in three different states over the past 30 years. Identifying small steps to take in order to achieve larger goals, identifying what is important to focus on today versus letting go of the past or waiting until the future are also areas I can assist.
I believe the only way to truly achieve change is through consistent small steps overtime.
I am a LMHC, wife, stepmom, mother-in-law, sister, daughter, friend, supervisor, and Beagle mom. I could be your next therapist, that choice is up to you.

You want change but don't know where to start. You might be experiencing debilitating emotional, psychological, and/or physical pain. Or depression that leaves you feeling lost and alone. Maybe you have intense anxiety and fear that prevents you from connecting with those you love and that keeps you from feeling accomplished. Perhaps a slow eroding of your self-esteem has taken root and negatively impacting your abilities to see the wonder and awe in the world.
If you are experiencing any of these feelings, emotions, or life challenges, please know that you are not alone. In collaboration we will heal the root of pain and create a path to your heart center where you are free of burdens and able to thrive.
I am a skilled clinician who is authentic, intuitive, and focused. My counseling approach is individualized where I draw from current research in brain science, physiology of trauma, counseling, positive psychology, existential philosophy, and mind sight.
I provide services in a culturally sensitive and trauma informed manner where you feel safe and capable to ignite your curiosity, where you will gain insight into your heart wisdom and intelligence, and where meaningful releases of painful body sensations and memories happens without being re-traumatized. Positive change is possible.
I am here for you.

Greetings! I am Dr. Danielle Dance. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Nova Southeastern University and have 17 years of experience providing therapeutic services. I intended to engage in assessment and research when I started graduate school. Over time, therapy became one of my favorite areas of psychology. My primary focus has been on helping individuals recover from narcissistic or suspected narcissistic relationships, learning emotion regulation in the face of triggers or visceral activation, and helping those individuals find their voice/sense of self-worth. I also work with individuals with a history of other forms of trauma. As a fellow neuro-spicy individual, I work well with fellow ADHDers and other similar categories. My experiences in life have been diverse and as such my views are often open and accepting.

I firmly believe that one of the bravest steps a person can take is to begin understanding their own story. Have you ever felt overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, or the weight of past traumas? Perhaps you're navigating a significant life transition or embarking on a journey of self-discovery, especially within the LGBTQ community. These emotions can leave you feeling paralyzed, unsure of where to start, and stuck in a cycle of frustration and self-doubt. If any of this resonates with you, please know that you're not alone.
I'm a seasoned licensed mental health counselor with over 15 years of experience, having held my license for a decade. My practice covers a wide spectrum of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, life transitions, and support for the LGBTQ population.
My approach to therapy is deeply personal, tailored to recognize your unique strengths. I'm a strong advocate for a collaborative partnership between us, where you play an active role in your healing journey.
In our sessions, I draw from effective techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to help ease your symptoms. We'll also explore the roots of unresolved emotions and past negative experiences that might be impacting your current well-being. My core objective is to guide you in regaining control over your life by helping you reframe your thought processes.
I'm here to support you on your path to healing and personal growth. Your story matters, and together, we can navigate the challenges you're facing.

When your life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or out of control, you may not feel like yourself. Everyday tasks seem a little harder, you may feel more impatient or sensitive, and your mind seems to focus on the wrong things. My goal is to help you navigate through these challenges in a safe and non-judgmental space so you may live a more balanced, authentic, and peaceful life.
I believe that what you do in-between counseling sessions is more important than what we discuss during appointments. Therefore, I take an experiential, hands-on approach by providing you with practical tools you can use in your daily life. I see myself as a cheerleader and will work to empower you by identifying and utilizing your strengths, increasing your personal insight, and helping you see these challenges with a different perspective.
I genuinely want to help you reach your goals and find relief. I have diverse experience, including binge eating disorder, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ+, self-esteem, OCD, ADHD, adjusting to college, relationship conflicts, and more.

Hello there! I chose to become a counselor because I saw a gap in services for those from the LGBTIQA+ and neurodivergent communities. As a member of these communities, it was incredibly important to me that they have the same opportunity to receive quality, knowledgeable services as their straight, cisgender, neurotypical peers. As someone with a background in theatre, I enjoy bringing my creativity into session and believe that the arts can be incredibly healing. After receiving my master's from the University of Central Florida in 2020, I started my private practice and have continued to grow since then. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. and hope to educate future counselors and conduct research regarding counseling practices for neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ folks.

I love being able to compassionately support people like you who want to see meaningful and noticeable changes in how they view themselves and the world around them so they can stop being in survival mode, and finally just start living. I believe in the resiliency, dignity, and worth of my clients, even if they struggle to see those things in themselves -- because let's face it, being a human being in modern life is hard and you deserve your own kindness!
I empower people who are trying to heal from a variety of issues -- substance use problems and recovery, past trauma or childhood family dysfunction, relationship troubles, mental health disorders or symptoms such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or trouble adjusting to life changes. My background is working with people dealing with substance use disorders and past trauma, homelessness and poverty, legal issues and incarceration, as well as providing support and mental health care for all ages.

Hello! I'm Taylor "Liam" Mugavin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping you navigate life’s challenges with compassion and expertise. I offer both Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and traditional talk therapy, allowing you to choose the approach that best fits your needs and comfort level. Whether you’re seeking to process trauma, manage anxiety, maintain recovery, or simply work through day-to-day challenges, I’m here to guide you with practical, evidence-based strategies.
In our sessions, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported. If you’re interested, we can explore EMDR as a powerful tool to help you reprocess difficult experiences and reduce their impact on your life. However, if you prefer a more conversational approach, we can focus on talk therapy to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a way that promotes understanding and growth. The choice is yours, and we’ll work together to determine the best path forward.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Texas and Connecticut, as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida, I have more than ten years' experience in helping clients with effective, fairly rapid relief from the symptoms they have been experiencing--with many telling me that they feel significantly better after only a few sessions.
Before going into private practice, I worked in a variety of clinical settings, including community/public mental health, managed care, and a psychiatric hospital. Although I work with a wide range of client concerns, I work especially often with clients identifying as LGBTQ and with couples.
I have over ten years' experience in treating depression, anxiety, panic attacks, substance use and addiction, and in helping clients to improve their coping skills to better manage stress when it occurs in their lives. Past clients have often described me as compassionate but also as "blunt" and "no bullsh*t" (their words--not mine), helping them to achieve results often much more quickly than other therapists they have previously had.

If you are reading this right now, you are probably feeling alone or in crisis. Time does not heal all wounds; it just gives them space to sink into the subconscious, where they continue to impact your emotions and behavior. “What heals is going inward, loving yourself, accepting yourself, listening to your needs, addressing your attachments and emotional history and following your intuition" (Yung Pueblo). I aim to create an alliance with you to help you find your voice, tell your story, re-engage your strengths and cultivate new ways to stay mindful and grounded—no matter what life throws at you. I work with adults suffering from childhood trauma, sibling violence, emotional abuse, narcissistic parents, emotional neglect, depression, relationship issues, and PTSD.
I also work with clients that have experienced some kind of traumatic event(s) currently and/or in their past and are struggling with functioning in their daily lives because of the impacts of the event(s) on their mind, body, and relationships. I work with adults who are experiencing stress, emotional stuntness, strained relationships, the trans community, and poor self-esteem. These individuals want to stop their negative moods and experiences but feel powerless to change them.

Hi there, I'm Chloe'.
Do you struggle with setting boundaries, finding time for yourself, saying no to the requests or demands of others, or struggle with self-esteem issues that may be holding you back? Do you have addiction issues or family members with addiction issues? Do you struggle with guilt and shame?
I specialize in helping others to learn to set boundaries, make their self-care a priority, deal with control issues and issues with excessive guilt, and work through past issues in challenging family systems. I also enjoy listening deeply and helping to empower others to take back their power and increase feelings of self-worth. I enjoy helping others to work through negative self-talk, improve mindfulness, and overcome anxiety. I also enjoy working with the LGBTQ population and with people coping with grief and bereavement.
Therapy can often feeling like a daunting, scary task, but together we can work together to figure out what is not working and to improve upon what is. I utilize a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness based approaches to help target the things which may be holding you back. I have been told throughout my life that I help people feel calm and am easy to talk to and provide objective, compassionate feedback.
I look forward to working with you to help you live your best life.

Many of us struggle in silence to overcome the challenges we face, but you no longer have to face that battle alone. While the first step is acknowledging the change you need, it takes courage to recognize you need some guidance. It takes even more courage to initiate those first steps towards improving your life.
I am a mental health therapist passionate about serving children, adolescents, families, and individual clients in need. I empower my clients battling issues related to anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self-harming behavior, trauma, emotional regulation, difficulties with stress, anger management, relationship problems, and many more.
