Hi, my name is Dr. Angela Noe, but you can call me Angie. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in adolescent psychology, forensic psychology, police & public safety psychology, and psychological testing (especially ADHD testing).

My therapy dog Diamond will make an appearance during sessions, too :)

West Perrine, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Trauma can impact any person; but it doesn't define the person. In therapy sessions, we process feelings and emotions related to the traumatic experience/event looking to heal and move forward with resilience and self-love. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, bilingual (Spanish and English) proudly holding that title since 2017 after graduating from NOVA Southeastern University in vibrant Miami, FL. My journey in the field has led me through 7 rewarding years in Foster Care, where I've had the privilege of making a difference. I also worked in a shelter with children and teenagers. Before my U.S. venture, back in my home country, Cuba, I earned my bachelor's degree and spent 8 fulfilling years as a Psychotherapist. For me, helping individuals become the best version of themselves isn't just a profession – it's a passion. Having spent 5 years as a Case Manager in a shelter, I understand the intricacies of challenging situations. Now, as a fervent advocate for Individual Therapy, I see it as an investment in your own well-being. Taking the step towards therapy is a decision I wholeheartedly recommend. Witnessing individuals tackle difficult situations head-on and embark on a journey of personal growth is incredibly rewarding. So, let's invest time and dedication in your well-being – it's not just therapy; it's a pathway to your own growth!

Miami Lakes, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I am a bilingual therapist that uses a culturally competent lens to empower individuals. I utilize a down to earth, genuine, and caring approach to help clients build resilience, heal from life’s challenges, and unlock their own strengths. My parents came from Cuba in order to open up the doors for me to have what they never had the opportunity to obtain. I am the first person in my family to attend college and to this day the majority of my family does not speak English. My family raised me in a culture where family and relationships are highly valued. I feel very fortunate to have blended cultural values and morals, as this helps me better understand others from different cultures. Are you struggling with crippling guilt and anxiety? Are you caught in a spiral of worry or stress you can’t stop, constantly second-guessing yourself? You feel stuck in the loop of “what ifs”: “what if I fail?”, “what if I lose my job?”, etc. Has owning a business & battling the daily overwhelm of the constant anxious thoughts gotten to be more than you can handle? Are you a first/second gen who is feeling the exhaustion of being the first at everything? You're a tightrope walker, trying to balance others expectations with your own desires. You feel like you’re never “good enough” and are tired of the guilt. Is parenting an overachieving anxious teen leaving you feeling at a complete loss as to how to help them or where to even begin? Hi, I’m Tery, I specialize in anxiety with a special interest/focus in first/ second gen, entrepreneurs, and teens. If you’re looking for a therapist who can relate and will interweave authenticity with a refreshingly no-bullshit, direct approach, then you have come to the right place.

Women, do you feel the pressure to excel and succeed, constantly striving for perfection in every aspect of your lives? This relentless pressure to meet high expectations can lead to stress, anxiety, and even physical health issues, leaving you with little to no work-life balance or time for self-care.

By working with me, you can begin to address these issues and take steps toward healing. Together, we'll explore past traumas that inform your decisions, develop strategies to manage stress and anxiety, cultivate self-compassion, and foster a healthier work-life balance. My supportive approach will help you redefine success on your terms, build confidence in your abilities, and create a space where you feel empowered to thrive.

My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and rooted in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT. I create a space that’s both nurturing and direct where you can feel safe to explore your experiences, build healthy coping skills, and reconnect with your inner strength. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I’ll work collaboratively with you to identify what’s working, what’s not, and how to move toward a more grounded and fulfilling version of yourself. Therapy with me is about more than just talking, it's about healing, growing, and building a life that aligns with who you are and where you want to be. You don’t have to figure it out alone. I'm here to walk beside you.

Lutz, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Hi! I am a heterosexual cisgender woman, and my husband and I have a 15 year old son. I'm originally from St. Louis, Missouri but I have lived in Florida for 34 years and it's my home. I hate snow. I think of myself as a girl-next-door therapist. New clients often tell me I'm easy to talk to. I like to use humor whenever possible. My approach is gentle and humble. I'll never go beyond your comfort level of discussion. My office is where you can spew your thoughts, cry, talk about yourself and even the thoughts you have that would be offensive to others. I have had clients say things about their life that would not be acceptable in most settings, and being able to talk about it is often very freeing. I became a master's level social worker at 32, and my life experience prior to that enabled my ability to understand different types of people and what motivates them. I've been in this field for 16 years and I have worked in foster care, hospice and other medical settings and outpatient mental health settings.
