Hello and Welcome! I'm Christy.
Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time.
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to a wide array of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and/or self-care, just to name a few. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.
Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker based in Miami, Florida. I earned my graduate degree from Florida International University in 2010 and have been licensed since 2016.
My career began at Banyan Health Systems (formerly Miami Behavioral), where I worked as an adult mental health case manager back in 2004. After gaining my Masters degree, I continued to work for Banyan as a Child outpatient therapist and intake specialist. As a mother of three, I am deeply committed to family and believe that "family over everything" is the foundation of my personal and professional life. In my spare time, I enjoy dancing, spending time with my husband and three children, going to the beach and embracing the vibrant energy of my Miami roots.

Hello, My name is Philomena , but you can call me Philo, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker- Qualified Supervisor in the state of Florida who has been in the field since 2013. My work history is colored with working with Teen Mother experiencing Crisis Pregnancy who opted to parent or place their children for adoption, assessing the Veteran population for biopsychosocial needs, and working in the educational setting as a School Therapist for Middle and High School age students. I have a love for Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies and Social Work Practice with the Elderly and have Undergrad and Graduate Certificates in both areas, respectively.
While my resume and credentials may speak to my professional qualifications, I have many additional experiences that support my knowledge and cultural sensitivity. I offer a zeal for working with older teens, young adults, and women wishing to manifest change in their lives. I have worked with students struggling under social pressures and depression and have a natural knack for life skills, career guidance and helping others adjust to "Adulting." I firmly believe in the connectivity to ourselves and our environment and utilize a Systems / Strength-Based approach, focusing on what can be accomplished rather than deficits. Working as a Psychotherapist at NOLA Adulting LLC, I am able to help in bridging the gap between what formal education has taught us and life experiences. High School has prepared us for solving the quadratic equation, running a mile under 10 minutes, and understanding that in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue, but we are not prepared on how to manage that feeling of emptiness we may experience post graduation and entering the workforce, setting appropriate boundaries in interpersonal relationships, or correct work email etiquette when we are fed up.

Hi, I’m Eva Chocron, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, bilingual in English and Spanish, and deeply committed to helping you heal your relationships—starting with the one you have with yourself. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and parents who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or disconnected from the life and love they long for.
If you often feel anxious, reactive, or emotionally exhausted—especially in relationships—you’re not alone. Maybe you find yourself pleasing others at your own expense, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling misunderstood and unseen. These patterns usually have deep roots, and together, we’ll gently uncover them.
Through a compassionate and culturally sensitive approach, I’ll help you make sense of your emotions, stop repeating what no longer serves you, and build the emotional clarity, confidence, and connection you deserve. This is more than therapy—it’s a journey of unlearning, healing, and becoming your most authentic self.

Hi, I’m Shakira Maldonado, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and Florida. I support adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My work is rooted in helping clients reconnect with themselves, gain clarity, and build a life that feels more grounded, empowered, and aligned with who they truly are.
I offer a warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive approach to therapy. No two people are the same, which is why I tailor each session to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and somatic techniques to help you explore the root of your struggles and move toward healing in a way that feels meaningful and manageable.
Many of the individuals I work with come to me feeling emotionally stuck — whether that’s in their personal life, their career, or their relationships. You might find yourself constantly overthinking, struggling to set boundaries, or repeating cycles that leave you feeling defeated. In our work together, we’ll explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, not judgment.
I also support clients navigating grief, childhood wounds, family dynamics, identity issues, and burnout. If you're someone who has always felt the need to "hold it all together" for others, therapy can be the space where you finally get to be held.
Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, you’re welcome here. My goal is to help you feel more connected — to yourself, your values, and the life you want to build. Healing is not a straight line, but you don’t have to walk it alone. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I focus on clients who have experienced relational trauma, childhood, adolescent, and adult anxiety, depression, chronic, complex, intergenerational, and transgenerational trauma, and PTSD. I see counseling as a process in which you, the client, and I, the LCSW-Therapist, having come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life, and work systematically toward realizing those goals.

I work with people who are seeking help, who want to make life changes, resolve issues, improve their relationships, and make significant growth while living day by day. My passion is to help people move forward from where they are to where they want to be.

Maitland, FL - Accepting clients in FL
Hi there, my name is Kristen and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of FL.
Do you lack direction in your life? Feel like you have an internal battle of anxiety in your mind? Struggle with feelings of sadness or lack of motivation? Everyone's struggles look a little different, which is why my goal as a therapist is to customize the treatment to fit YOUR specific needs. As a counselor, I act as a guide to help my clients on their journey toward growth and a better future. I encourage my clients to come up with positive coping skills and improve their daily routines as we work together to accomplish their treatment goals.
I have several years of experience working with clients who struggle with addiction to alcohol, drugs, and sex. While I specialize in addictions I enjoy helping individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, codependency, attachment issues, and bipolar disorder. As an intern, I lead group sessions in a treatment facility and also worked with teenagers in a local high school. Once I became licensed I started to focus on building my private practice. I currently work in Maitland FL seeing clients in person and on telehealth platforms.

Pensacola, FL - Accepting clients in FL
I chose to become a therapist after experiencing a time in my life when I struggled to find a provider I could truly relate to. I understand firsthand how intimidating or even uncomfortable it can feel to take that first step toward starting therapy. But I also know how profoundly rewarding the work you do in therapy can be—it’s a courageous and transformative journey that can lead to deeper self-awareness and lasting growth.
Life’s challenges, whether they involve grief, complex relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, career or life dissatisfaction, life transitions, intimacy, or sexuality, are all valid reasons to seek support. As your therapist, I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can explore these concerns and gain the tools to navigate them with confidence.
Pursuing a deeper understanding of yourself and intentionally working toward a more fulfilling life are among the most empowering steps you can take. Together, we’ll work to help you reach your fullest potential and create a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and true to who you are.
