I am a psychotherapist with 16 years in private practice, seeing families, individuals and couples. I have dual master's degrees in both mental health counseling, and marriage and family therapy. Since 2010 I have been providing holistic care from both CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and Jungian traditions. Holistic health is an approach to wellness that simultaneously addresses the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual components of health. The goals include integration, stability, hope and even joy. Holistic does not mean 'alternative', yet I am experienced in adjunct healing modalities like acupuncture, nutrition and yoga. I like to collaborate treatment in a team approach for my clients when able.
Hi! I am Julie Metevia. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in the Fort Lauderdale area of Florida. I have 5 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based care in diverse settings, including a non-profit domestic violence shelter and the area school system. I utilize a variety of therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT ) and mindfulness-based interventions. I have also been trained in using Trauma-Focused CBT (for adolescents) and EMDR therapy. I am committed to empowering clients through strength-based and trauma-informed approaches. My goal is to support individuals in building resilience, emotional health, and lasting personal growth.
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. I obtained my Masters Degree from Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, NY in 1998. I enjoy assisting others in redesigning their lives. My focus is on individual and couples counseling. Helping to bring positive changes to my client's lives is something I am motivated by, thankful for and excited to witness.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in practice for over 15 years, I have worked with clients that have extensive levels of concerns including but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, social and interpersonal relationship challenges not to exclude family discord. I have been adaptable to working in many different settings. I believe the approach of meeting my client where they are is a grounding principle for my therapeutic style. Although not always in person, the distance will never be seen as a distraction.
I obtained my master’s degree from Florida State University, but faced many challenges with that. Some struggles in life peak during adolescence and I was no stranger to that. Transitions were not my friend, I had to overcome many relational, financial, and educational difficulties that grew me to understanding personal struggles.
I believe in a client-centered approach as all clients are the experts on what works best for them and the challenges that they continue to face. I strive to provide an environment that is non-judgmental and accepting of where you are in your process while helping you get to where you want to be. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist clients in exploring relationships among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to aid in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns leading to self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a modality that assist in how trauma is seen and processed. I have worked the better part of my career assisting in trauma processing, clients have been sexually abused, physically abused, or have suffered from significant loss.
I believe counseling is a journey towards healing. If you are willing to allow me on this journey with you to master any conflict in your life, I am ready when you are!
Having been trained to the highest level in several Healing modalities and spending over 2 decades solving a wide range of emotional experiences resulting from life stressors and /or traumatic events, I value creative, out of the box solutions that serve to uplift people from emotional suffering. I'm also a lover of continued learning in the art of communication. In addition to my private practice I continue to teach as an associate trainer for the Institute of Rapid Resolution Therapy , and provide consulting services to agencies that treat individuals that struggle with substance abuse.

While I stay up-to-date and am able to offer the current and most effective evidence-based modalities, including CBT, ACT, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based therapy, I believe the therapeutic relationship between us is the most valuable tool.

Hi, I’m Victoria B. Freeman, Founder and Lead Therapist of Cosmic Couch Counseling. I’m really glad you’re here.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, and I work with young adults, adults, and families who are tired of holding everything together. Many of the people I see are living with anxiety, depression, grief or loss, low self-worth, emotional burnout, or a quiet sense that they’ve lost touch with themselves somewhere along the way.
If you’re used to being the strong one, the responsible one, the one who keeps going no matter what, therapy here is a place where you don’t have to do that.
With me, you don’t have to perform.
You don’t have to explain everything perfectly.
You don’t have to pretend you’re okay.
You can cry. You can sit in silence. You can struggle to find words. You can just be.
There is no judgment here, only honesty, patience, and room to breathe.

*Currently accepting new adult individual clients via telehealth*
I am a licensed mental health counselor in NY and FLA working in the field for 8 years in various different roles. I have experience with children, adolescents, and adults. I have worked in group practices to hospital settings helping clients suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, impulsivity, and more.
I use a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy helping clients understand their thoughts and develop ways that they can change their negative thought process to more positive thoughts to better their overall well being.
In our first session, we will get to know one another better and decide what goals are important to work towards making the positive life changes that help you become the best version of yourself.
Trained as a psychologist (Ph.D. from Cornell University). Some 20 years later I earned a second graduate degree in Marriage & Family Therapy. I am a fully licensed therapist in the State of Florida.
I have taught psychology at Princeton, Tulane, Cornell, and Harvard Medical School.
We will spend most of our time creating solutions, instead of analyzing problems. So often, therapy gets bogged down in the endless exploration of problems. Problems are the results of behaviors that didn't work for you in the past. Solutions flow from changes that will work for you starting right now. Solutions make your life better. They bring joy and peace to your life.
In a session with me, I will be honest but also supportive. My goal is to get you to a place where you do not need me because we have worked together to help you build a supportive and fulfilling life. To that end, I will incorporate counseling in emotional processing, interpersonal communication, self-care, and career into your sessions because it is our whole lives that determine our happiness and ability to handle stress.
I have about 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in business as an efficiencies expert. I have a wide variety of experience from my time in business working in IT and business administration in various markets (from finance to manufacturing).
My decision to become a therapist was based on my need to restart my life more happily and healthily a little over 10 years ago. I take a more existential approach to psychotherapy and utilize other approaches such as CBT and DBT and teach about the brain and how it reacts to stress.

Are you feeling stuck, telling yourself that you are going to change, but somehow ending up doing exactly what you promised yourself you wouldn’t do? Do you convince yourself that you are going to move forward and then find that anxiety, hopelessness, harsh self-judgments, or a bad temper take control and push you backwards? Do you find yourself in relationship patterns that leave you feeling cut off from those you long to be close too? If this sounds familiar, you don't have to face this alone. There are reasons you feel this way, and you can discover what those reasons are and how you can change to live a more fulfilling life.
You may feel stuck because the way you are trying to solve your problems is by going back to the same strategies that got you stuck in the first place. It can be confusing seeing yourself stuck in thoughts and behaviors you know don’t work. Often this is because in the moment those strategies appear to be the only sensible choice, even when they aren’t.
If you choose to work with me, together we can explore the ins and outs of that confusion so that you can find your way out of it. Because that can often feel threatening and disorienting, I will be patient and give you the space and safety needed to do this work at your own pace. Be that fast or slow or in-between. I look forward to working with you.
I am a dedicated therapist who works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. I believe therapy should be both supportive and practical, offering a space where you can feel understood while also gaining tools you can use in everyday life. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and grief counseling, and is always tailored to your unique needs and goals.
I work with clients who are seeking clarity, emotional balance, and meaningful change. Together, we focus on building resilience, developing healthier thought patterns, and reconnecting with the values that matter most to you. My goal is to help you feel empowered and supported as you move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I work with diverse populations providing compassionate and evidence based care to individuals, families, and groups navigating mental health issues, grief, life transitions, and trauma. In working together we will build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, build resilience, and learn how to navigate challenges. My goal is to empower you and improve your overall wellbeing.
I would describe myself as a goofy and radically empathetic therapist that struggles with severe ADHD and also anxiety. Not to mention the grief! I am big on being vulnerable myself. We must lead by example. I also am a strong believer in the power of connection. If you cannot connect with your therapist, research says that therapy is not likely to be effective. I prioritize the therapeutic relationship above all else. That is my foundation. That means I pride myself on not being a robot. I cannot believe I have to say this, but many students in therapy have told me that they have had robotic therapist. That is not me. I believe the most powerful therapeutic techniques are empathy and unconditional love, and those are the values I do my best to display consistently.
I currently provide individual counseling to students at Miami Dade College and I have found that I really enjoy working with college students that recently graduated from high school. I find that the world treats them cruelly at such an overwhelming time of their lives and they deserve unconditional love, not tough love.
Hi! My name is Samantha Wills but most folks call me Sam! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Bachelor’s of Social Work degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and later earned my Master’s of Social Work degree from Florida State University. Before beginning my work in private practice, I worked in different mental health school settings and an intensive outpatient program. I also identify and work with members of the LGBTQ+ community and pride myself on creating a safe, affirming environment for everyone to be vulnerable and honest without fear of rejection. I spend my free time reading the latest romantasy novel, spending time with my loved ones, and crafting.
In my 13 years of experience, I have worked with individuals who are feeling emotionally stuck due to sadness, irritability, relationship issues, anger, financial loss, unresolved trauma, loss of a loved one and/or anxiety. These emotions may lead you into a mental whirlwind which feels chaotic and uncontrollable. But know that you are not alone and there is hope. I will provide you with treatment focused on using evidence-based practices such as Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Based Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy. I will engage you in creating a treatment plan that works for you! I will assist you in identifying your interest of focus (personal issues), empower you to process and reach your goals as you achieve emotional stability in therapy.

Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I have been practicing for 10 years. I create space for you to explore and learn new ways to cope with feelings of stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. I bring warmth, compassion, humor and empathy to the therapeutic relationship, and I honor and prioritize the development of trust as a necessary foundation for successful treatment.
I am a mental health therapist who believes healing starts with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where people can show up exactly as they are-without judgement-and work toward meaningful change at their own pace. My approach is compassionate, client-centered and trauma informed, and I focus on helping people build up practical coping skills while also understanding the deeper experiences that shape their lives.
I welcome working with people who realize they are having certain difficulties navigating life because of a struggle with feelings, behaviors and thoughts. The awareness of the struggle is the most important first step that we revisit throughout therapy until you can make peace within. You can become skilled at releasing attachments to the patterns that plague you. My specialty is helping those having difficulties with their own feelings, thoughts and behaviors, relationships as a result of trauma, being newly clean & sober, or because of a chronic physical or mental illness such as OCD or ADHD. I welcome you to not hesitate to reach out.

I focus on highlighting possibilities, strengths, and hope, even in challenging times.
I’m a licensed therapist and coach who helps high-achievers and leaders go from stressed and stuck to calm, confident, and fully alive. Using my unique blend of EMDR, CBT, nervous system work, and soulful mindset support, I help clients heal old patterns, regulate their emotions, and step into a life where they can enjoy more ease, more joy, and more loving relationships without sacrificing their big dreams or performance at work. Think of it as a reset for both your mind and your soul so you can lead, love, and live with clarity and confidence.
Hi!
I was born in Puerto Rico, but I have been living in the United States since 1990. I graduated with my Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from D’Youville College in Buffalo NY, then with my Master in Social Work at the University at Buffalo. I started my career as a Bi-Lingual Dual Disorder therapist at an outpatient agency in Buffalo NY. Moving to Florida in 2014, I worked with individuals who have been diagnosed with alcohol and/or substance misuse who have been linked with the court system, as well as working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced complex trauma. I have experience in working as a program manager providing guidance and clinical direction to other therapists, as well as providing therapeutic services to individuals within the LGBTQAI+ community and those who have been impacted by an HIV diagnosis. Throughout my career I have been able to gain knowledge on different types of diagnoses and resources in order to assist in improving individuals overall well-being in a holistic way.
