Hi, I’m Allison. Whether you’re feeling burned out, stuck in unfulfilling patterns, or having challenges in your relationships, therapy can help you recover and feel more grounded. Many of the people I work with are new to therapy. They may not have a specific diagnosis or crisis, but they know something feels “off.” Clients often tell me they feel comfortable opening up with me quickly. If you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, know that meaningful change is possible. Let’s work together to help you feel more content, empowered, and like yourself again. Clients often tell me they feel at ease opening up to me. Many feel relieved to have a therapist who offers active guidance, rather than just listening without direction. Finding relief and reconnecting with a sense of peace is more achievable than it might feel right now—and once you start, the process of change often unfolds more quickly than you expect. I approach therapy by looking at the root cause of problems, rather than focusing on one problem at a time. I work from a systemic perspective, which means we will dive into your personal relationships, behavior patterns, and lifestyle choices which are interconnected with the issues you may be facing. If you'd like to learn more about me and my therapy methods, feel free to visit my website at www.mindtalkhealing.com

Together, we’ll clarify your goals and identify strategies to help you move toward them, whether that means change over the next month, six months, or a year. You’ll leave our sessions with practical insights and “next steps” you can put into action right away. I believe life’s purpose isn’t simply to be happy, but to find meaning—and within that meaning, joy emerges. While the journey isn’t always easy, it can be transformative. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Addictions Professional, Internationally Certified Drug Counselor, and Behavior Analyst. I take a strength-based approach, helping you use your unique abilities to address challenges. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to empower you in creating lasting change. Most importantly, I bring a relaxed, compassionate, and trustworthy presence, fostering a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe and supported.

My name is David Patrick, LCSW. I have 14 years of experience dealing with a wide array of topics that bring people to therapy. I view the therapeutic relationship as a partnership. I see myself and my clients as friends on a journey of discovery about themselves. I do not lead, nor allow myself to be led, I believe we are equals. I listen intently and make suggestions and sometimes assign homework when appropriate. Remember, there are 168 hours in a typical week, and most people only see their therapist for one hour, leaving 167 hours outside the weekly session to practice and explore questions and see if the new results are present. I see us as equals and occasionally I will make suggestions, but ultimately this is a time of discovery for the individual and it is a privilege to walk alongside you on your journey.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. I received my Masters from Argosy University have been practicing for 7 years, licensed for 3 years. I aim to help adolescents (ages 13-17) and adults (18-65+) struggling with mental health and emotional challenges, problematic behaviors, and stressors with additional benefits of increasing insight and awareness to the mental health population.

It is time to invest yourself! The first step to changing our circumstances is acknowledging something isn’t working. The process of change takes courage. My approach in counseling is to create an encouraging environment which my clients can find the strength to make those first steps into the unknown. I graduated from Palm Beach Atlantic University with a bachelors degree in science of psychology and a minor in communication. I then went on to receive a Masters degree in counseling from Webster University. After my education I went on to gain clinical experience in many different areas over the next 18 years including, but not limited to inpatient psychiatric facilities, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, group therapy, marriage and family counseling, individual counseling, and substance abuse counseling. Licensed in the state of FLorida (MH10911) as a mental health counselor, I aim to provide quality care. I specialize in couples counseling, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, mens issues, family therapy, job stress, interpersonal issues, child therapy, and most other conditions.
