Welcome, and thank you for taking this important first step. My name is Arany Orellana, and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in the States of Florida, Oregon, and Washington State, with 19 years of experience supporting adults facing mental health challenges. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood. My goal is to empower you as you build self-compassion, personal growth, and a more fulfilling life. Together, we'll explore that matters most to you and how to move forward with clarity and confidence.
I hold a doctorate (Ph.D.) in Psychology and a Master's in clinical social work. I am licensed as a clinical social worker in Florida, Maryland, Nevada, Virginia and South Carolina with 37 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & family conflicts. I have authored two books (Bad Therapy Good Therapy: And How to Tell the Difference; and Grow Up, America!); five booklets; and thousands of articles, as well as a self-help column, "Life's a Beach," published in Gannett newspapers since 2005. My primary goal is to help you help yourself. I will guide and coach you, not tell you what to do. We'll reason and think our way to what makes sense together.
Hello. My name is Mandy and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida. I have worked extensively with adolescents in a group home setting providing individual, group and family therapy to address issues including depression, anxiety and trauma. I have also worked with at-risk youth in a partial-hospitalization setting. I also have been working closely with members of the LGBTQ+ community, those struggling with Substance Abuse Disorders and those living with HIV and AIDS. To me it is very important that your identity is respected in our sessions and I strive to offer a compassionate, safe space for all. I am offering that to you as well.
On a more personal side, when I am not seeing clients, I am out roller skating, spending time with my pets or planning an adventure. I also love music so if that is something you want to bring into our sessions, I am excited to do so.

In my practice, I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, thoughts, and life experiences. I integrate Person-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, and attachment-based approaches to help clients heal, grow, and build stronger relationships with themselves and others.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from Valdosta State University. I was born and raised in Nebraska but have made Georgia my home, and I truly love it here.
I became a therapist because I genuinely care about people and believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate, meaningful support. I know that reaching out for help is not always easy, and I want you to know that taking that step says a lot about your strength and your commitment to yourself. My goal is to make sure that from the moment you connect with me, you feel welcome, heard, and comfortable.
I am an animal lover through and through, and that love has found a natural home in my clinical practice. I incorporate pet therapy into my work with clients, and I have seen firsthand the incredible impact that a furry friend can have on even the most difficult days. Whether it helps break the ice, ease anxiety, or simply bring a moment of joy into a hard season, it is one of my favorite tools to offer.
Outside of my passion for animals, I am deeply committed to doing work that matters. I show up for my clients with honesty, warmth, and a whole lot of heart. I believe in meeting people where they are, walking alongside them through the hard stuff, and celebrating the wins along the way — big and small.
If you are looking for a therapist who will be real with you, root for you, and work hard alongside you, I would love to connect. I can't wait to meet you.
My main area of specialty is Trauma-Focused CBT. Lets use what you love! Moves, TV, Poetry, Music, Gardening, Pottery. We'll talk through your struggles, process your grief and your pain each week, but we'll also use your interest and passions to help us work through your pain. We'll always move at your pace and prioritize your comfort.
You're not coming here because you're damaged or broken, you've showed up to this point because of a strength so let's lean in together. It might be uncomfortable at times and it can be difficult to be challenged, but if you've come this far you believe in the process to some degree. Reach out, let's see if we fit.
I work with women navigating life transitions, including changes in relationships, family roles, and health. These experiences can bring anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the effects of trauma into focus, and can influence how thoughts, emotions, and the body interact.
As a yoga teacher and yoga therapist for over 25 years, mindfulness is a natural part of my work and informs how I understand and approach the mind body connection. I integrate mindfulness based stress reduction, mindfulness based cognitive therapy, and somatic therapy into sessions in a way that supports awareness and emotional regulation.
My training as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, Florida, South Carolina and Delaware allows me to bring these approaches together in a way that is both clinically grounded and also responsive to your experience.
I'm a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor, and I'm here to support you through life's challenges- whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, or the lasting effects of childhood trauma or dysfunction. My style is warm, compassionate, and solution-focused. I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen and heard, so in our sessions, you can expect a safe space where your story is honored without judgment. Together, we'll explore what's been holding you back and begin taking real steps toward positive change.

I know what it feels like to carry pain quietly , to smile on the outside while struggling on the inside. That personal understanding is what drives my work. For over a decade, I have been dedicated to helping individuals, families, and teens find their way through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life's most difficult transitions. My approach is personalized, nonjudgmental, and rooted in the belief that every person deserves a safe space to heal, grow, and be fully themselves.

A little more about me: I'm a Minnesota native currently living in Florida. I spend a lot of my time as a sports mom on the sidelines at soccer and volleyball games, watching professional hockey (especially the MN Wild!), and being hopelessly bad at gardening in Florida.

Hi, I’m Danielle! I’m an English/Spanish-speaking licensed psychotherapist who helps people figure out who they are underneath all the stress, trauma, and survival mode. Healing is not linear (seriously, it’s more like a maze), and giving yourself grace and permission to focus on you is key. I’ve spent the last 6 years helping clients to work through trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, couples therapy, ptsd, and anger disorders—basically, a full tour of the emotional landscape. My goal is to help you rediscover who you are and rise into the upgraded version of yourself.
Hi, I'm Kristen. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply tired of carrying everything on your own, you're not alone. I provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself.
With more than 10 years of experience, I work with children, teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, parenting stress, and major life transitions.

Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop coping skills, and create meaningful changes that support the life you want to live.
As a therapist, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and practical space where clients can explore what they are experiencing, better understand their thoughts and emotions, and develop healthier ways of coping, communicating, and making decisions. I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, relationship stress, life transitions, grief, family concerns, and personal growth issues.
My approach is compassionate, structured, and collaborative. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, strengths-based counseling, psychoeducation, and relationship-centered approaches to help clients gain insight and apply practical tools in their everyday lives.
At the heart of my work is the belief that people can heal, grow, and build more meaningful lives and relationships when they are given the right support, guidance, and encouragement.
Hi! I'm Ashley and I'm a licensed therapist providing virtual therapy in Florida. A little about me... I'm a first-generation Latina and Miami native. As the daughter of immigrant parents, I understand the unique pressures that can come with balancing family expectations, cultural values, achievement, independence, and figuring out who you are outside of what others expect from you. When I'm not in the therapy office, I'm usually training in MMA or spending time with the people I care about most. These parts of my life keep me grounded and balanced. I specialize in helping young adults and adults who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, low self-worth, and the impact of past experiences. My clients often leave therapy with a stronger sense of self, healthier boundaries, greater confidence in their decisions, and the ability to navigate life with less fear and more trust in themselves. I try to create a space that feels genuine, supportive, and real. My promise to you: I’ll show up as your therapist and will be in your corner. Email me to schedule your first session (:
Hello, I'm Olga Nikitina, a Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients in Texas, Oklahoma, and Florida. I provide a supportive, compassionate, and culturally responsive environment where clients can safely explore challenges, build resilience, and work toward meaningful change. My practice focuses on helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions using evidence-based approaches tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've spent my career supporting children, parents, and families through some of life's most challenging moments. My background includes working in the NICU, early childhood mental health, and supporting families navigating trauma, medical complexity, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.
I am especially passionate about working with women during pregnancy and postpartum, parents, caregivers, and individuals who have spent so much time caring for others that they've forgotten how to care for themselves.
I help high-functioning adults reconnect with themselves and learn to trust their own judgment again.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable adults who have spent years taking care of everyone else while quietly struggling themselves. They often appear successful on the outside but privately feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who they used to be.
You may be recovering from betrayal, navigating a difficult relationship or divorce, struggling with perfectionism or people-pleasing, healing from trauma, or facing a major life transition. Somewhere along the way, you may have begun second-guessing yourself, losing confidence in your instincts, or wondering why life feels so much harder than it looks from the outside.
My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. Together, we'll make sense of the patterns keeping you stuck, calm your nervous system, reduce shame, strengthen healthy boundaries, and build the confidence to make choices that align with your values instead of fear or self-doubt. Therapy should leave you feeling understood, supported, and equipped with practical tools that make everyday life feel lighter.
My name is Dr. Frank Gorritz. I currently hold 8 years of practice with my Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling and Psychology and my Doctoral Degree in Counselor Education and Supervision. While I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and minority stress, I am here to work with you across diverse lived experiences and concerns, as well as explore any goals that are important to you and your healing. Know that this space is an open door for you, one where we can experience empowerment, resilience, pain, and celebration with no judgment. Just a space for you.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of private practice experience helping teens and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, and life’s challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual, using evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and other modalities that best fit each client’s needs. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in schools, nursing homes, and with individuals of varying abilities and backgrounds, giving me experience supporting people across all stages of life. I believe everyone has unique strengths, and sometimes those strengths simply need to be rediscovered and nurtured to help move through difficult seasons with confidence and resilience.
Hi, I'm Susan Sabogal, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing therapy in English and Spanish. I work with adults who are tired of carrying everyone else's expectations, second-guessing themselves, and feeling guilty for having needs of their own.
My style is warm, practical, and straightforward. I'm not interested in spending months talking about problems without helping you move forward. Together, we'll connect the dots between your past experiences, current challenges, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build confidence in your decisions, develop healthier boundaries, and create meaningful change that lasts.
I compassionately work with women experiencing a variety of life struggles including anxiety, anxious attachment, PTSD, grief, relationship issues, self-esteem and boundary challenges. We must continually "work through what we walk though" in order to experience progress and healing. It is a privilege to support my clients' journeys to become resilient and live their best lives. I incorporate faith-based counseling for those who desire this approach.
Life can feel heavy and overwhelming, and we don’t have to carry everything alone. I’m here to help shoulder some of that weight and guide you toward the life you’re envisioning. I practice from a holistic perspective, considering all aspects of your life and how they influence one another. Even when we focus on a single concern, we’ll explore the broader patterns and connections that shape your wellbeing. Growth is rarely linear, and we’ll navigate that journey together with intention and compassion to help you get lasting change.
I thrive with clients who understand they need to work for change, want to gain insight and value personal evolution. Sessions often lead to new insights, “aha” moments, and sometimes even a laugh or two. Humor doesn’t replace healing, but it sure can soften the edges of difficult moments.
For my qualifications, I’m have a bachelor’s in Social Work and a master’s degree in counseling earned back in 2013. My background spans substance abuse treatment, grief and trauma work, suicide prevention, attention concerns, and mood and anxiety disorders — I’ve walked alongside people through some of life’s toughest chapters. And if you’re interested in Law of Attraction coaching, I also offer that as a way to help you align your mindset with your goals and dreams.

Hello, my name is Kelsy and I'm a therapist who enjoys working with clients with ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, anxiety and/or depression. As a marriage and family therapist, I look at the systems a client is part of i.e. their family, workplace, community, country and world. I seek to understand how behaviors and symptoms make sense within the larger context where they occur. I work with individuals 13+ and couples. In my therapy practice, all religions, spiritual beliefs or having none are respected and explored as needed. Most importantly, I look forward to listening and seeking to understand first as the foundation for our interactions.

My goal is to help you gain confidence, develop resilience, and take lasting steps toward healing, personal growth, and living a more fulfilling life.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, and life transitions — those moments when things feel unsteady and you're not quite sure how to move forward. My approach starts with building a warm, genuine relationship where you feel safe to explore what's really going on beneath the surface. From there, I bring in practical tools — often drawing on CBT and coping strategies — so you leave sessions with more than just insight, but real ways to manage day-to-day. As a parent myself, I understand how life's transitions can test us in ways we don't always expect, and I bring that same steadiness and practicality to the people I work with.

Clients find that I genuinely like people from all walks of life, I am non-judgmental, and I am an excellent listener.

Hello there, I'm Maurice
Do you feel pulled in 10 thousand directions, unable to fit all of your responsibilities in? Are you struggling to be present in your relationships? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Do you feel overly anxious?
I help high performers manage anxiety and deal with their childhood trauma. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back on track. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, meditation and your subconscious mind to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself.
Whether you're dealing with feeling overwhelmed, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
I am an LMHC therapist, public speaker, community organizer, social and environmental activist, and have been listening for decades. My Master of Clinical Psychotherapy, 2013 came from the University of North Florida. I experienced a Clinical Pastoral Education, in deep listening. I worked in the Talk program at Wounded the warriors talked; I listened.
Trauma Supportive Therapy is used to safely address, as slowly as need be, the pain of the past that keeps coming to trip your defenses in the present at all the wrong moments. I can be that supporting presence who will help sort it out by listening, sincerely hearing you, reflecting the depth of your feelings back to you. I practice the therapy of defining personal meaning, so, together we will think about your options, planning, purpose, and goals for living a meaningful life without being afraid of tripping over your past or yourself.
I practice person centered therapy by meeting you where you are. I strive to be culturally sensitive, non-prejudicial and use strength-based therapy as a jump point, truly believing I am the guide for you, but you are the treasures and wisdom keeper. Of all the reasons people come to therapy: anger, guilt, anxiety, changes, transitions, depression, trauma, jealousy, and “it is just not working anymore”, the extra burden of race and racism is more than just a nuance to be nodded at in therapy. I will view race as central to all the other pieces, when it is central to you.
I am inclusive, secular, competent, affirming, and non-judgmental. I have worked with people in transition, people who are very much defined, “but things got complicated”, people in the communities of LGBTQA, Polyamory, Kink, non-gendered. Each are safe and welcome here.
***Now accepting new clients.
A lifelong student of human behavior, I completed a Bachelor's degree in Pychology in 1993, and a Master's of Counseling Psychology degree in 2004. Through the years I have studied areas like vagus nerve impact on health outcomes, trauma resolution, meditation and mindfulness practices and the effects of nature and sound on phisiology. I am an integrative practitioner, using a multi modal orientation to understand you as a complete being. I draw from Attachment theory, Family Systems theory and Adverse Childhood Experiences research to identify early life challenges. I find the Gottman method and Cognitive Behavioral Couples Therapy useful with many couples who want to attend sessions together, and more exploratory frameworks such as Humanistic and Transpersonal theories useful for solo growth and development.
In session I have a collaborative style that is informed by both intuition and 3 decades of studying various evidence based approaches. We will identify your strengths, your concerns, your interests and goals and then make a plan. After defining the areas of your life you wish to work on, I will accompany you on your path toward your highest and most healthy self as a guide and resource for support when it is growth oriented. We will stop where you choose to stop, whether it is with the immediate problem/s resolution or continuing into a more complex and transformational understanding of Self, and where that may lead you.

I have over 10 years of experience working with various populations as a mental health therapist, psychological health coordinator and senior social worker. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relational issues, parenting concerns, career challenges, childhood/adult trauma, sexually harmful behaviors, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, life coaching and more.
My therapy style is welcoming, engaging and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion, and I don't believe in put-downs as we have all experienced barriers and roadblocks at some point in our life.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the States of Florida and Texas. I graduated in 2009 from Nova Southeastern University in Florida with a Masters of Science. I speak English, Spanish and Arabic.
I maintain a general practice working mainly with adults. I identify myself as a brief systemic solution oriented therapist.
As a professional, I am intensely interested in a lifelong learning and continuing to master the healing arts of therapy. I am curious about people and their stories, their strengths , their struggles and their resources.
My strength as a therapist is in being empathetic, authentic, challenging and intuitively sensitive to my client's needs. My treatment philosophy is that I find each person and each situation different. I believe that people have internal resources that are available to help bring about a successful resolution to life's challenges. I approach my clients with warmth and a non-judgmental style.
