Starting therapy can feel empowering, confusing, or even intimidating—and it’s worth taking a moment to recognize the courage it takes to take this first step toward caring for your mental health. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment where you can explore challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-care, and more. My goal is to help you strengthen communication and boundaries with yourself and others so that you can improve your quality of life and move toward the future you envision.

You’ll leave our sessions with practical insights and “next steps” you can put into action right away.

Are you experiencing frustration, confusion or turmoil in your life? Even to the point where you see no sense of direction while trying to navigate through life? At times, this can be overwhelming for individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, including other mental health disorders. Hi! My name is Stephaney and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with almost a decade of experience in treating adults and adolescents for various mental health challenges and co-occurring diagnoses. I was inspired to become a therapist by my unique experience migrating to the United States at the age of 13 and attending middle school which was very challenging for me. Culture shock became my reality and one that would eventually lead me to “Severe anxiety.” Even with a very strong family support system, I felt alone and trapped by my own inner fears and self-defeating thoughts. Constant worry and fear of being bullied by my peers became my everyday experience. Through all these obstacles, I was able to process my feelings and experiences with my faith in Jesus Christ, supportive family, and a few good friends. To this extent, I have come to recognize the benefits of a strong support system and the need for social and relational connection. As a mental health counselor, I’m privileged to be a part of that support system for many people. I work with my clients to connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and actions, all while providing sound strategies to promote healthier thought processes. I believe that every human being deserves a chance to be heard and understood, and therapy has taught me that as human beings, we are more alike than different. So as your therapist, I’m excited to be a listening ear for you and help guide you toward your goals.

Hi, I’m Dr. Catherine T. Revak, DSW, LCSW—but please, call me Cate. My path to becoming a therapist wasn’t a traditional one, and each chapter of my life has shaped how I show up for clients today. I served in the United States Air Force and spent many years in the financial services industry, experiences that taught me how to navigate complexity, hold difficult conversations, and remain present during times of stress and uncertainty. Later, I returned to school at the University of Pennsylvania, where I studied Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, and completed both my master’s and doctoral degrees in social work. My clinical training focused on veterans’ mental health, grief, loss, and bereavement. My time working at the VA and in hospice care deeply influenced my approach to therapy, reinforcing the importance of compassion, attunement, and the healing power of being truly witnessed. In therapy, I strive to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. I draw from psychodynamic, narrative, and trauma-informed approaches, but at the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship itself. Whether you are navigating grief, transition, or uncertainty, I walk alongside you as you find meaning, connection, and a way forward that honors your experience.

I’m a licensed therapist who strives to see families and parents learn new ways, techniques and strategies on how to cope with real life changes and see individuals learn about themselves and begin to process life challenges.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. I moved to Florida from Nashville but have roots in Mississippi and Virginia. I graduated from the University of Phoenix in April of 2014 with a Bachelors of Science in Health Administration. I used that degree to enroll at Capella University where I earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in March of 2021. My passion for counseling started when I was very young. In my teenage years I participated in groups that worked to prevent teen suicide. This interest eventually worked its way into my adult life as a career in the mental health field. My first position after graduating with my Masters was assisting individuals whose substance abuse lead to involvement in the criminal justice system. Building on that, I also have experience with Veterans' issues, grief and loss, eating disorders, LGBTQ+, relationships, depression, anxiety, social fears and many other mental health diagnoses. I don’t believe that there is a one size fits all approach to an individual’s mental health. I use a wide range of techniques to best help my clients to achieve the goals they set forth during their time in treatment by developing strategies and coping skills to achieve optimal mental health.

I am a therapist who has helped individuals develop positive coping skills to overcome barriers that have kept them from reaching their goals in life.

By actively listening to your concerns, worries, and issues that keeping you from your goals, you and I will get to work on overcoming those barriers.

Hello there I’m Johnny, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Miami, Florida. Outside of my work, I’m someone who loves to explore new places, try different foods, and spend time outdoors. Traveling gives me perspective and reminds me how much there is to learn from different people and cultures.

I’ve always had a curious side—I’m fascinated by astronomy and love collecting action figures, con's, which is something that’s stuck with me since childhood. Those small interests keep me grounded and remind me to make space for the things that bring joy. Family is important to me, I value humor, honesty, and connection, both in my personal life and in the relationships I build every day.

With EMDR, I utilize a specialized approach that can be highly effective in addressing past traumas, anxiety, phobias, and other mental health concerns. EMDR therapy helps to reprocess distressing memories and experiences, allowing for healing and positive change. By accessing the brain’s natural ability to heal, we can work together to promote resilience and foster emotional well-being. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or the aftermath of a traumatic event, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. My goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your emotions, gain insight, and develop effective coping strategies.

Hello. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and have experience working with diverse populations, including Hispanic-Latino communities, Medicare patients, and seniors. I help people overcome life challenges, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, as well as work on motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. My background in counseling psychology has provided me with a strong foundation in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, allowing me to effectively support clients on their path to healing and personal empowerment. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. While my primary language is Spanish, I am also fluent in English. Taking the first step to enroll in therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started. I accept Ambetter, Oscar Health, Aetna, and Medicare Plans.

HI! I’m Josh. Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsatisfied regularly? Do you feel that you may need more balance in your life? Do you struggle with self-care? I have experience with helping individuals who have suffered trauma, major life changes/challenges, conflict and other stressors that have negatively impacted their lives. I have a passion for helping others work through past pain so that they can improve their future. My goal for every individual I serve is to help them become their strongest version. I strive to create a safe and healthy space for everyone and meet everyone with compassion. I utilize several evidence-based therapy techniques and some humor now and then. Taking the step towards engaging in therapy can be extremely difficult and scary, but it is one of the best decisions you can make for yourself.

In my private practice, I work with individuals and couples. Treatment is unique for each client and depends on your needs and goals. The philosophy that guides my practice is the unwavering belief that people have a limitless potential to heal and grow. It is my goal to help you recognize and realize your abilities. Positive change occurs through the collaborative therapeutic relationship between therapist and client. Therapy is a unique process for each client. It begins with a comprehensive evaluation during which I learn about you, your situation, and your goals. You also get the chance to learn more about me and get a feel for how we will work together. During the course of therapy, we will continue to evaluate and make changes to your treatment to reflect completed goals and new challenges.
