I specialize in helping you recognize the patterns in your life and become the observer of your thoughts and feelings. I believe in working with the whole person and not just the mind. I use somatic experiencing to help you move emotions through your body and calm your nervous system. Trauma is more than what happened. Trauma is what didn’t get to happen. Somatic experiencing will allow your body to renegotiate the past while staying in the present moment.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in a deep respect for each person’s unique story and cultural context.

EMDR has been especially effective in helping clients process PTSD, C-PTSD, generational trauma, and other trauma-related concerns. I also integrate somatic, attachment-based, and mindfulness-informed techniques to support holistic healing and growth.
My goal is to meet clients where they are and walk alongside them as they reconnect with their values, inner strengths, and sense of self. I am dedicated to providing culturally responsive care that respects and affirms each person’s identity and lived experience.

Hi everyone! I'm Josh. Do you struggle with social anxiety and poor self-confidence? I know that overcoming it is possible! Many come to therapy for social anxiety because of childhood trauma and how it has manifested in their adult lives. Often this manifests in feelings of poor self-confidence, poor self-worth, and poor self-confidence. At its root, the fundamental belief of those who have social anxiety is the belief, “I am not enough.” Clients get into the habit of comparing themselves to others and it makes them feel inadequate and insecure. Over time clients begin to avoid situations that elicit their anxiety, particularly social situations. This can lead to social isolation and loneliness. Clients will present with complaints of frequent panic attacks, not having a romantic partner, not having friends, not being happy in their jobs and feeling disconnected from life. They are labeled by others as shy, quiet, or introverted. This scenario described myself for much of my life which gives me lived experience to better able to assist you. I help individuals combat their social fears and begin to live a rich and fulfulling life. I do this through cognitive behavioral therapy techniques primarily but also integrate solution-focused therapy, assertiveness training, exposure therapy, and acceptance & commitment therapy. Whether you're a teen struggling to make friends and socialize or you are an adult unable to speak up at work meetings or unable to ask someone out on a date, I'm here for you! Seeking therapy can be frightening but I want to assure you that you will be most welcome if you take that leap of faith!

Tampa, FL - Accepting clients in FL
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional with a passion for supporting first responders, healthcare workers, and others in high-stress roles. I specialize in trauma, life transitions, crisis intervention, and anxiety, and I’m trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a powerful approach for healing without retraumatization.
I was drawn to these specialties after witnessing the emotional toll carried by those who serve others—especially in communities where asking for help hasn’t always felt accessible or encouraged. Whether we’re processing a critical incident or everyday overwhelm, I offer a grounded, collaborative space where you can feel safe, supported, and empowered to grow.

Have you found yourself frustrated or anxious with the life that surrounds you? Life can get pretty crazy and unfortunately we can't control what happens around or even to us. But we CAN control how we respond and choose to cope. I aim to help my clients realize what they can control in their current situation(s) and gain the tools needed to be more successful in their futures!
I have my Masters in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling, I am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Through REBT and Solution Focused Therapy, I am here to empower my clients to make achievable short and long term goals. I have also worked with clients on life skills and career counseling.

I create a very safe and supportive presence for my clients; this enables individuals to be vulnerable, while learning how their behavioral patterns have continually been re-created from childhood. Inner child work unlocks the key to self compassion, self acceptance, and self love.
The winding road to maintaining self love is lifelong and I would be honored to take this journey with you.

Winter Garden, FL - Accepting clients in FL
Sometimes, life becomes challenging for all of us. Reaching out for help is a hard and courageous thing to do, and I commend you for taking that first step! I am passionate about creating a safe, connected, inclusive therapy space to process whatever it is you would like to discuss. My goal is to awaken the strength and resilience that is inside of you, so you can live a meaningful life.
I have experience working with clients of all ages and with a variety of topics, including anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, LGBTQ+, relationship issues, and more. I like the therapy space to be a creative and collaborative experience.
I am primarily a person-centered therapist. This means the focus is on you- the whole person- not just what’s troubling you. Healing is not a one-size-fits-all, and I will work with you to create goals and a plan that fits you and your needs.

Lake Worth Beach, FL - Accepting clients in FL
Hi! My name is Moriah E. McCarthy. I am a licensed mental health counselor that believes in a holistic and blended approach with respect for the mind-body-spirit connection. Mental health is a pivotal component of all wellness. Treatment with me blends the exploration of the past and the deepening of insight with more concrete interventions and a forward-focused momentum. I use psycho-education and skills-building to empower clients to support themselves after counseling. Strengths and weaknesses are brought forward to integrate thoughts, feelings and actions into the whole self. I believe in collaborating with clients throughout the process. Clients feel supported and also challenged to take responsibility for their own success. When you work with me, I hope that we partner in your treatment. I value your feedback, appreciate you opening to possibilities, and taking action for greater stability. My approach is best described as client-centered and creative.
