Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology from Florida International University and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in the state of Florida. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions to ensure flexibility and accessibility for the individuals and families I work with. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and respect for each person’s unique journey. I believe that healing looks different for everyone, which is why I tailor my therapeutic methods to meet the specific needs and goals of each client. Depending on what feels most helpful, sessions may include evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps address and reframe negative thinking patterns, or mindfulness-based strategies to support emotional regulation, stress reduction, and a greater sense of presence and peace. I also incorporate a variety of practical tools and interventions designed to deepen insight, encourage personal growth, and promote lasting change. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds facing a wide range of challenges. I have particular experience supporting clients who have endured complex trauma, including survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, incest, and those navigating the emotional toll of serious illness. I also frequently work with individuals struggling with anxiety, marital or relationship concerns, acculturation issues, and life transitions that bring about adjustment difficulties. At the heart of my practice is a belief in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for a space to explore personal growth, I am here to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing and greater well-being.

Hello! Life is a journey that can take us in many different directions. There are times that we can use extra support and guidance. Let me be that support to help get you back on track to reach your goals and achieve balance in your life.

I have over 25 years experience in counseling individuals, families and couples in assisting them to find balance in their lives.

Hello. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida. I have been a therapist for 30 years and a full-time faculty member at a university for 25. I have been fortunate to work with many significant theorists/teachers of psychotherapy and have been teaching psychotherapy to thousands of students. In my practice, I use a strength-based approach while also challenging people to be proactive in their pursuit of their goals.

I lead with a warm, supportive approach rooted in trauma-informed care and crisis intervention. I’ve worked with children, older adults, and families, using both family systems and cognitive behavioral techniques to support healing and growth. I value genuine connection and strive to empower my clients while linking them to meaningful community resources and support networks. I have more recently worked with older adults and their families to support life transitions and interpersonal challenges that may come with change.

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS! That is the key!! With 26 years of experience, much research, studying, and face to face experience living and working all over the world, I realized relationships with yourself and with others can make or break our contentment in life! But there are skills to learn to make it happen, skills such as self-awareness, ability to pay attention to the world around us and our own bodies (mindfulness), learning to grieve and let go while embracing change, learning the characteristics of a healthy relationship with others and with ourselves, and accessing our strengths while focusing on the beauty in life. I'd love to walk with you through this process to restore hope.

Hello! I am Sam and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist. I believe that every individual is capable of change. I know change can be scary and it takes courage to make the first step in asking for help. I believe building rapport and being met with compassion is essential to creating a healing environment to empower you to be the best you. Sometimes we are just held back by maladaptive behavioral or thought patterns, we feel overwhelmed with distressing thoughts and emotions, we experience constant worry/anxiety over past or future events, or we find that words simply are not enough to express ourselves. With my support, we will fill your toolbox full of skills to reach your full potential, overcome obstacles, and live the life that you want to live! I use evidence-based practices with my clients which include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (skills-based). I have also been trained in Exposure and Response Prevention. I have spent most of my post-graduate experience working with adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety, and OCD. My goal as a clinician is to set up therapeutic goals and then provide my clients with the right tools to reach those goals, all while providing a safe place to express themselves.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker having been in practice for the past 34 years as a Clinical Social Worker working with individuals and couples. I work exclusively with clients in the State of Florida seeing adults ages eighteen and older. I perform telehealth sessions with individuals and couples. I assist patients helping them to find solutions to their problems while helping to relieve depression, anxiety, stress and relationship problems.

Sometimes people experience emotional problems (e.g., anxiety, depression), behavioral problems (e.g., overeating, smoking), or relationship problems (e.g., excessive arguing, poor communication) that interfere with their daily functioning. These difficulties result from the interaction of biological, learning, behavioral, and environmental factors, which influence patterns of thinking and behaving. Negative life events can contribute to the development of self-defeating patterns of thinking and behaving, which some people can have difficulty changing. In my work, which I have been practicing for 42 years, I help people identify these self-defeating patterns and develop strategies for dealing with them. I emphasize the importance of practicing these strategies consistently, with the goal of handling emotions more effectively and behaving in more responsible and healthy ways. I focus on life pattern changes with respect to relationships, depression, anxiety, anger control, impulse control, and stress management.

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.

Since 2012, I have worked with a variety of clients dealing with circumstances that are unique to their lives.

As a wife, mom, grandmother, and dog mom, I also enjoy assisting family and friends in reaching their goals. I will be here to encourage you, support you and validate you. I know making the decision to come to therapy can be difficult, scary and leave you feeling vulnerable but taking that first step is the key to unlocking the door towards becoming your best self. You are the true expert of yourself and often just need additional encouragement to identify and explore areas that are no longer working.  Vulnerability, shame, and guilt can prevent you from seeking the help and support you need to find solace in your head, heart and life. I am a daughter of Veteran and wife of a fire fighter. I know personally the stigmas and stressors that come along with seeking treatment. I have a deep understanding and love of the firefighting, EMT, and paramedic communities. Break those chains that keep you from seeking, happiness, forgiveness, healing, and serenity. One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Having a good grasp of the very real issues with which first responders must face and handle on a daily basis I will help you navigate the issues and memories that haunt you and find real, lasting solutions for long term healing. I promise I won't bite, but I am a loud Bostonian haha!  Allow me to walk and guide you on your path to uncovering and rediscovering who you are and what you already know but struggling to see.

Hi, I’m Kelly. I became a therapist because I wanted to go deeper than symptom management and help people truly heal. I work with clients who are tired of just surviving and want to understand the root of what’s keeping them stuck, especially those carrying old trauma, stress, or self-blame that never got a chance to be processed. I believe compassion is the gateway to real change. My style is warm, grounded, and deeply attuned. You won’t find judgment or quick fixes here. You’ll find someone who shows up fully with you, helps you make sense of your inner world, and supports you as you heal patterns that once felt unchangeable. Together, we’ll explore the parts of you that developed to survive, strengthen the adult self, and gently work through early wounds using approaches like EMDR, parts work, and early trauma protocols. My clients often tell me they feel understood for the first time. Not rushed, not minimized, but truly seen. If you’re wanting to feel better but aren’t sure how to get there on your own, you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to walk with you, slowly and safely, toward the life you’ve been trying so hard to build.
