Hi there! I am Conchetta, and I'm the type of therapist who believes that healing doesn't always have to be heavy. Therapy with me is about finding clarity, building confidence, and yes sometimes laughing a little along the way. I specialize in working with both adults and adolescents using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means we’ll get curious about the patterns in your thoughts and behaviors, focus on what’s working, and build on your strengths to move forward (not just dig into the past).

Everyone wants to feel seen and understood — that’s the heart of my work. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest, curious, and supported as you figure things out. I’m certified in EMDR, Circle of Security Parenting International and TF-CBT, and I use a mix of evidence-based approaches, sarcasm, and real talk to help you feel seen and supported. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and occasionally lighthearted — because healing is serious, but it doesn’t always have to feel heavy. I’m a therapist who won't just pat you on the back and agree with everything you say; I will make you feel seen and understood while also challenging you, holding you accountable, and pushing you toward becoming the best version of yourself and the person you want to be.

Howdy y'all! I’m Kendra, your friendly Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over five years of experience dedicated to helping people navigate life's challenges. Holding a degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work from Florida State University, I’ve had the privilege of supporting the vibrant people of Florida. I'm a therapist who believes healing doesn't have to be stiff, serious, or done on a strict timeline. Sometimes, it looks like rolling in on two wheels to make it "just on time," venting about your day, and finally saying outloud "I'm really just tired of holding it all together." I work with adults who are overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out and being "fine" all the time just isn't working anymore. Whether you're navigating the mental load of motherhood, trying to find yourself again after a major life shift, or stuck in that loop of overthinking and self-doubt, I'm here to help you slow down, breathe, and feel human again. My style is warm, laid-back, and trauma-informed meaning, we go at your pace - no pressure, no judgment. I offer a supportive space where you don't have to have it all figured out; you just bring your whole, real self to therapy (messy feelings, messy bun, and all) and I'll bring curiosity, compassion, and a few solid tools to help you feel more grounded.

As a therapist, I treat a wide range of mental health issues and life adjustment challenges. I am experienced in helping clients relieve anxiety using various techniques, including neuro-linguistic programming. For those who have suffered past traumatic events, we can use cognitive/behavioral tools to help reconcile the emotions connected to the events.

Hi, and welcome. I know that looking for a therapist can feel intimidating, especially when life has already thrown so many challenges your way. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even hopeless in the process. But I want you to know—you're not alone, and support is here. After facing my own personal challenges with relationships, parenting, and identity, I felt called to help others move through the same struggles. With over 15 years of experience, I work as both a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). My work integrates clinical therapy with behavioral science to support individuals, couples, and families in navigating their lives with confidence, clarity, and compassion. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore what’s holding you back, understand long-standing patterns, and begin building new skills and perspectives that support sustainable change.

I was inspired to become a therapist because I wanted to be the kind of safe, supportive presence for others that I needed during my own childhood. What I love most about this work is seeing the growth my clients make, but also being there through the tough times when they stumble and watching them find the strength to get back up. I have a deep commitment to building trust, honoring each person’s unique journey, and empowering them to create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. I’m a therapist with three years of experience supporting clients through challenges like anxiety, depression, substance use, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care, which allows me to offer a balance of structure, compassion, and empowerment. I believe in meeting each client where they are and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, respected, and understood. I work side by side with clients to help them notice unhelpful thought patterns, build practical coping skills, and reconnect with their own strengths and resilience.

Hi! I am Carlos, and I would like to start by saying welcome! Welcome to a space where you can be yourself and find comfort in knowing that you are not alone. This decision you made for yourself to seek to further understand what is going on in your life. In this process, it is about you being the expert in your life. It is important for me to provide you a space where you feel respected, listened to, and treated with compassion. I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I am a proud of graduate of USF (Bachelor's Degree) and Troy University! I am also working currently on my Ph.D in couple and family therapy from NSU! I have worked with a range of different diverse populations and a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, adjustment to major life transitions, PTSD, mood disorders, personality disorders, acculturation, and more! I have experiences working both adults and children, and some of my experiences include working with veterans, adults in community supported living, youth and their families, and college students. My therapy style has been to be non-judgmental, strengths-based, narrative, with a touch of humor/playfulness. This space is yours to co-create with me to help get you to be the best version of yourself.

Hola! If you are reading this you have stepped out of your comfort zone and are exploring who you can trust with your innermost thoughts and feelings. As a mental health professional, I have seen first-hand the plight of the human condition. Throughout the past 20+ years, I have gained incredible experience & insight that have uniquely prepared me for this work. As a licensed clinical social worker I have served diverse populations well, throughout the New York Tri-State area as well as in Florida's Southwest & Central areas since 2013 in various capacities. From my own curative journey I have borrowed a whole-person approach: mind, body, & soul. There is no "magic pill," or quick fixes when it comes to harnessing sustainable mental wellness. It has been my personal experience that this process can lead to deep restoration from the layers of adversity. Each layer will reveal itself in its own time. This is why therapy will look different for everyone at different stages of life. I would be honored to support you in exploring what hurts, frustrates, confuses, & a host of other emotions that come up when revisiting difficult childhood experiences, losses, grievances, life transitions, & postpartum. As a trauma-informed & trauma-responsive professional, I will hold a non-judgmental space, where you will be patiently supported and spurred on along your therapeutic journey. You will be provided with a safe place where you can explore your thoughts & emotions to manifest a shift in your perspective developing the clarity, growth, peace, & healing you so desire.
