I have had the opportunity to work with and serve some of the most amazing people I've ever met in various work environments including private, group, residential, hospital and emergency settings and it would be my honor to work with you as well.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Professional in the state of Florida with over six years of professional experience providing compassionate and client-centered mental health services. I have a passion for helping young adults and adults navigate life’s challenges and develop the skills needed to live healthier, more fulfilling lives. My areas of experience include helping clients cope with life stressors, anxiety, depression, anger management, relationship challenges, and other emotional difficulties that may impact their overall well-being. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their concerns and work toward meaningful change. I believe that every individual has the ability to grow, heal, and move forward, even during difficult seasons of life. My approach focuses on meeting clients where they are, identifying their strengths, developing practical coping strategies, and supporting them as they work toward their personal and therapeutic goals. Throughout my years of professional practice, I have received numerous positive testimonials and feedback from clients who have successfully achieved their goals, overcome challenges, developed greater self-awareness, and experienced more fulfilling lives.

Hi , I'm Nazia Basha, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 4 years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, burnout, and depression. I utilize an integrative and person-centered approach. I also draw from evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused, and Mindfulness techniques. Together, we'll identify patterns, build practical strategies, and create lasting, meaningful change-all in a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you are dealing with anxiety, going through a big change, feeling burned out, or stuck in old habits. Therapy offers a place to pause, find clarity, and learn practical tools for lasting change. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps adults understand themselves, improve their emotional health, and build better relationships. My style is warm, collaborative, and sensitive to your background and experiences. I create a safe space where you feel heard and accepted. Together, we will identify what is holding you back and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your strengths, values, and goals. I use proven methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. If you are facing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship issues, or big life changes, we will work together to build coping skills, manage emotions, and create lasting change. I also have experience with crisis intervention, LGBTQ+ affirming care, group therapy, and working with other professionals on your care. I became a therapist because I have seen how much a caring, supportive space can help people heal. Working in both schools and clinics has made me even more passionate about helping people from all backgrounds feel respected, empowered, and supported as they work toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. When I am not working, I like to read, visit bookstores and coffee shops, travel, make crafts, and spend time with my Cavapoo. These hobbies help me stay grounded and bring balance, curiosity, and mindfulness into my work with clients. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you do not have to do it alone. I would be honored to support you as you work toward healing, growth, and lasting well-being.

I earned my doctorate and post-graduate master's degrees in psychology and my master's degree in counseling from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Professionally, I retired from the United States Air Force as a senior non-commissioned officer, and since retiring, have worked in several different behavioral health settings. In addition to my private practice, I am a graduate-level adjunct professor of counseling psychology.

I have been practicing mental health counseling since 2004. I have worked with a wide variety of psychological and life issues over the years and have found that the most important part of a successful therapy experience is having an authentic, trusting relationship with my clients. I strive to create a safe and compassionate environment where you can explore and discuss vulnerable topics and feel understood. I’m interested in supporting you through the process of achieving your goals. I view therapy as a process of both healing and development. Life is hard and everyone has sustained emotional or psychological injuries of some kind. These injuries can be limiting because they keep us stuck in unfulfilling patterns of emotions, behaviors, and relationships, and distort our sense of self. As we engage in the process of healing, those negative patterns begin to shift until they no longer fit or make sense. Life becomes more fulfilling as you develop into a more authentic self.

My name is Jeffrey Meltzer, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in South Florida with 16 years of clinical experience. I earned my undergraduate degree from Rutgers University and my graduate degree from Florida Atlantic University. I help women who are outwardly successful and inwardly carrying stress, anxiety, perfectionism, or old patterns that keep them from feeling fully at ease. Using an integrative blend of EMDR, IFS, CBT, and DBT, I help clients quiet the inner critic, heal the patterns underneath the performance, and build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. I hold dual addiction credentials (MCAP, ICADC) and work in English and Spanish. I see clients in-person in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach, and virtually throughout Florida.

There’s no denying that life isn’t always a walk in the park. While I’m sure you can relate to this as an adult, the same goes for kids, teens, and college-age students. Don’t forget, they’re going through this life without a manual, just as you are. But life is also spectacularly beautiful. Unfortunately, the trials faced during any phase of life can often dim that beauty and hold your child back from living the life they deserve. Anxiety, depression, and self-doubt can creep into anyone's life at any age. Mental health challenges can rob them of happiness, self-confidence, and life-fulfillment. I get it. I’ve been in their shoes. As an experienced, understanding, and caring counselor for teens, children, and young adults. I can help support your child, whether they are elementary-school-aged, in the turbulent teenage years, or college-aged. And, because I value being an advocate for kids and an ally for parents, I can support you, too.

My individualized and pro-active approach helps create a supportive environment where clients can feel comfortable addressing life’s challenges through a strength based, solution focused and change oriented approach.

My therapeutic approach involves understanding how the patient’s past impacts their current level of functioning and then through this self-awareness, help them make healthier decisions today in order to reach their full potential and live mentally, physically and spiritually healthier lives.

I began my work in the field in 2007 and have been fully licensed since 2017. I consider myself to be an exceptionally empathetic and caring counselor who meets my clients where they're at. I will push my clients to experience emotions and to sit with them in ways they haven't before. However, I do this in a safe manner where we simply expand the limits each time and create safety in each session to fully allow the client to embrace the process. I strive to help my clients make sense of their life and the experiences they've had. I have great respect for each individual's journey and understand there is value in all of us. I strive for all of my clients to feel seen, heard, respected, accepted, and not judged. From the very first session, my clients feel heard through my exceptional empathic listening skills. I ask evocative questions to get to the heart of the matter and to push the client to think more in depth and perhaps even with a different perspective about struggles or experiences that have caused them strife.

I didn't always know I wanted to be a therapist. Growing up in a household where mental health issues were present allowed me to see firsthand it's effect on individuals. After undergraduate school, I landed my first job in a psychiatric hospital. That's when things clicked for me, and I knew that I wanted to help people become their best selves. I had a natural curiosity to understand the world, how people think, and what drives human behavior. I also believe in the power of connectedness. All these things came together and pushed me to pursue my graduate degree in counseling. My experiences early on taught me that no one is perfect, we all struggle, and we all deserve grace. I am here to tell you that your story doesn't have to end where it is now. I aim to show that we are all resilient and have the ability to overcome challenges.

I have several years of experience treating individuals, families, and adolescents using a holistic, empathic, and trauma-informed approach. Watching friends and family struggle with mental health and substance abuse issues fueled my passion for helping those who struggle with these difficulties from a place of understanding, patience, and empathy. I received a BA in psychology first, which led to obtaining a substance abuse certificate. I gained experience working with families and individuals and, after some time, I was ready to further my education and obtained a Master of Social Work. This helped me expand my clinical skills and learn more targeted therapy modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, psychoanalytical care, and art therapy. I found these approaches are a great synthesis of neuroscience, trauma, and creativity.

I have been working in mental health for over 9years; before that, I spent several years working in crime scene investigations and other positions in law enforcement.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Therapist (LMHC) based in Florida. I received my degree from Nova Southeastern University in South Florida and have been practicing for the past 24years. I have experience helping teens, young adults and couples manage stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I work with women navigating life transitions, particularly those that bring changes in relationships, family roles, and their sense of identity. These experiences can bring anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the effects of trauma into focus, and can influence how thoughts, emotions, and the body interact. My 25 years as a yoga teacher and yoga therapist have shaped how I approach counseling, particularly my understanding of the connection between emotional and physical experiences. I incorporate mindfulness and somatic approaches to help clients recognize how stress, emotions, and past experiences influence not only their thoughts, but also how they feel and respond physically. Understanding our patterns is important, but learning to respond differently is where meaningful change begins.

Welcome!! I’m Laura Schwades, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. If you are reading this, it likely means you are going through something difficult, and I want you to know that you are not alone. Whether you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in sadness, or trying to make sense of past trauma or substance use, I see your courage in looking for support. It takes strength to ask for help, and I truly honor that step. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are navigating these very challenges. I understand how heavy life can feel at times and how hard it can be to open up, especially when you are unsure if anyone will truly listen or understand. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and never judged; a space where we can talk openly and work together to help you find clarity, confidence, and healing. I will meet you where you are, and together we will build tools that help you manage emotions, understand yourself more deeply, and create meaningful change in your life. Whether you are just starting out or have tried therapy before, this is your space, and I am here to help guide you through it. You do not have to carry it all alone. Healing takes time. But it starts with a single step, and I would be honored to be part of that journey with you. If you are ready to talk, I invite you to reach out. I am here when you are ready.
