Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida, and I currently offer telehealth sessions to provide flexible and accessible support. With 5 years of experience, I specialize in working with adolescents and adults, guiding them through challenges such as trauma, anxiety, and depression. My approach is tailored to each individual's needs, focusing on helping clients not only overcome their struggles but also discover their strengths and achieve personal growth. Whether you're dealing with specific issues or seeking to become the best version of yourself, I'm here to support and empower you on your journey.
I’m a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals who are struggling with depression and anxiety. I understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel to navigate these challenges, and how much courage it takes to seek support. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and genuinely supported.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion and grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also bring extensive experience in grief work, helping clients move through loss and life transitions with care and understanding.
For those who desire it, I’m able to integrate a Christian perspective into our work together. Whether it’s drawing strength from faith, exploring spiritual questions, or grounding our sessions in biblical principles, I honor and support each client’s individual beliefs and values.
Healing is a deeply personal journey, and I believe that with the right support, you can overcome what feels impossible today. Together, we’ll work to ease the weight of anxiety or depression, develop meaningful coping strategies, and help you reconnect with hope, purpose, and inner peace.

Hi, I’m Rebekah — a relationship wellness therapist who helps individuals navigate relationship challenges, deepen self-understanding, and reconnect with what feels authentic and fulfilling. I bring warmth, intuition, and clinical insight to every session, helping clients uncover patterns that keep them stuck and build healthier ways of relating. My approach is compassionate, grounded, and focused on supporting meaningful, lasting change.
I see my role as helping people to identify and cultivate strengths in themselves, and strengths in their relationships; trusting that all of us bring the best we can to the problems of our lives and knowing that when someone is courageous enough to seek assistance, they are seeking to be better. I believe that as individuals we have the choice of becoming more than a trauma, more than a number, more than a victim.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, a Brainspotting Certified Clinician, and trained in EMDR and EFT. I practice individual, family, and group therapy.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way”. Viktor Frankl
My path to becoming your therapist is somewhat unique compared to others in the field. Over the years, I have built a diverse professional background that began with a career in sales. I then transitioned into the Long-Term Care Industry, where I served as both an Admissions and Marketing Director and a Director of Social Services. In addition to these roles, I have been actively involved in my community, working as an HIV/AIDS Intervention Specialist and a Substance Abuse Counselor. For a decade, I also had the privilege of serving as a Licensed Pastor.
On a personal level, my life has been enriched by becoming a husband, a father, and more recently, a grandfather. Throughout my journey, I have experienced many of life’s joys and victories. At the same time, I have learned valuable lessons from self-inflicted setbacks and from dealing with the consequences of choices that cannot be changed.
My name is Flemens Casimir, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with four years of experience providing counseling services to individuals from diverse backgrounds and demographics. In addition to my work in general mental health, I also have extensive experience in substance abuse treatment, supporting clients who struggle with addiction and co-occurring disorders. I am currently in training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is enhancing my ability to support clients in addressing trauma that often contributes to ongoing mental health and substance use challenges.
My therapeutic philosophy emphasizes meeting clients where they are in their current stage of life. I approach counseling with authenticity, empathy, and a commitment to being nonjudgmental, because I believe that when someone seeks mental health support, the last thing they should encounter is judgment. My goal is to create a safe and collaborative environment where clients feel empowered and respected as they work toward healing and growth.

Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow.
I specialize in integrative individual and couples therapy for the mind and body. My perspective on therapy starts with the central belief that if you listen to your clients, they will always tell you what's going on. While that may seem very basic, unfortunately, there is very little listening going on these days. When we are listened to and are unconditionally respected and accepted, we instinctively have the right stuff inside of us to figure out our issues. That's how we become empowered . That's how we grow.
In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion, understanding and respect. And I will use the latest evidence-based techniques to support you in your journey
Helping you find that inner strength and resolve is what makes me uniquely qualified to help.

I’ve been passionate about psychology since I was eighteen, when I began studying it in Cuba. My mother once told me she had always dreamed of being a psychologist but had to follow another path—and that dream inspired my own. After completing my degree in Cuba, where I worked in inpatient and school settings, I continued my journey in the United States and earned my master’s degree in psychology.
Over the years, I’ve worked with children, families, and adults through moments of crisis, grief, and major life transitions. My experience with multidisciplinary teams has taught me to see each person as a whole—emotionally, physically, spiritually, and socially. Healing happens when we look at the full picture of someone’s life, not just their symptoms.

Hello! I'll get right to the point - these are the main issues I work with:
1. OCD, PTSD, and C-PTSD. i.e. rumination, overthinking, repetitive, unwanted, or intrusive thoughts, mental compulsions, fantasy/maladaptive daydreaming, asking questions like "What if?" and hyperfocusing on the stuff that keeps you up at night.
2. CODEPENDENCY. i.e. people pleasing, inability to say no, fear of upsetting others, lack of assertiveness, chronic feelings of obligation, poor boundaries, toxic relationships.
3. PERSONALITY CONCERNS. i.e. lack of purpose/identity, low motivation, depersonalization, failing coping skills, thinking, "No one understands me," or wondering, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Do any of these describe you or your situation? If so, I'd love to meet you and talk about how we can work together to overcome your struggles. Feel free to browse through my profile and if you feel so inclined, make an appointment so we can work toward restoring balance to your world again.
