I may have sessions in addition to what is on my schedule. Book a session and then send me a msg if needed. I work with women to shift limiting beliefs regarding self, relationships, healing the past. I am passionate about working with women to increase self-esteem, change the negative voices, heal limiting beliefs and promote self-discovery. I have a background working in healing modalities, as well as coaching. I often use IFS (working with parts). We may do inner child work, EMDR, connect with different 'parts' of you, coaching, and heal past beliefs and emotions relating to trauma and other experiences. I am certified in EMDR. I have extensive experience with IFS. I help you listen to body wisdom and see where you may choose to make changes. We will work on changing limiting beliefs and creating confidence and develop new coping skills so you can more easily create the life you want.

Are you struggling with the pressures of life? Perhaps you compare yourself to others and wonder how they make it all look so easy and those perfect picture images on social media don't help. Perhaps you’ve had no motivation, no energy, or feel overwhelmed lately. You’ve found yourself struggling with feeling "stuck", self-doubt or lack of self-confidence. As far as anyone can tell, you’ve got a great life. But on the inside, you don't feel good enough; perhaps you struggle with past hurts, toxic relationships, never-ending thoughts, or the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re falling short. Imagine how it would feel to feel more confident without guilt or shame. Imagine enjoying a deeper connection with others with less conflict. Ready to step away from past hurts & quiet the inner critic so that you can feel excited & unafraid of new things? I collaborate with individuals to transform their stories. It is important to feel safe, so my style is down-to-earth, empathetic & infused with humor when appropriate. I can also incorporate Christian faith for clients who so desire. I offer LIMITED WEEKNIGHTS & no weekends appointments. Interested in getting started? Send me an email to get started.

If you are stressed about life or dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, finances, life transitions, difficulty in the workplace, addiction, low self-esteem, grief I can help. My goal is to help empower clients to overcome the obstacles they face in life by building on their current strengths. My passion is to is to guide clients to become aware of the self-limiting belief systems that prevent them from living happy, healthy, and balanced lives and to inspire them to make positive changes. My approach is strength-based, forming a collaborative relationship with the client, fostering self-awareness, effective problem solving, and the development of positive coping strategies. My focus when I work with clients struggling with addictions is to assist them to identify the underlying issues that cause them to struggle with addiction and help them to overcome these issues, while acquiring purposeful direction, motivation and the development of independence. I recognize that each person is unique and therefore needs individualized counseling strategies that will provide the best outcome for their own needs. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, CAP and ICADC certified, with broad experience working with individuals, children and families. I have experience working with individuals, children and families with mental health and substance use disorders, helping them overcome stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma, self-esteem, adjustment challenges and loss or grief.

Hi there! I'm Rachel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years human service and social work experience - including experience on the frontline working child abuse investigations. I transitioned to clinical private practice 4 years ago. I don’t run a sterile, academic practice. My work is deeply rooted in evidence-based science, but our sessions are designed to feel like a real, natural conversation focused on practical, real-world results. I run a warm, accepting space built specifically for anyone who is feeling completely overburdened and just plain tired of pretending they have it all together. When your daily environment, career, or life stage demands total strength, life's challenges and transitions become infinitely heavier to carry on your own. That’s why my approach is straightforward, honest, and entirely focused on helping you let down your guard so you can focus on your own mental wealth and recovery. I am the right fit for those navigating high-pressure realities. My background includes specialized training in trauma, including supporting military personnel, first responders, their spouses, and other public service workers who carry the heavy weight of frontline cultures. I am equally a match for teenagers and young adults navigating the modern grind—those juggling school, career transitions, social pressures, and the exhausting expectation to have their entire identity figured out right now.

I am passionate about trauma and helping others who have suffered from trauma in the past. The impact of trauma is largely unrecognized and can last a lifetime. Additionally, symptoms of trauma masquerade as many other diagnoses. For example, thousands of children are diagnosed each year with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, when their symptoms are actually due to trauma. Trauma disguises itself as anger management issues, impulsivity, depression, anxiety, phobias, panic attacks ... the list goes on and on. For me, treating trauma and helping others overcome its devastating effects is intensely rewarding.

Sobre mi modo de trabajo Me gusta pensar cada encuentro como un espacio vivo, en donde quien consulta puede detenerse a mirar, a poner en palabras lo que muchas veces se manifiesta de otros modos: en el cuerpo, en los vínculos, en lo que se repite sin que sepamos bien por qué. Mi rol es activo: acompaño, señalo, hago preguntas. A veces, lo que aparece en una frase, en un gesto o en una duda, abre una puerta. El trabajo consiste en animarse a atravesarla. ¿Y cuándo es buen momento para consultar? No siempre es fácil saberlo. Pero a veces, el cuerpo o el ánimo lo dicen antes que nosotros. Algunos indicios pueden ser: • Tristeza que se prolonga en el tiempo • Cambios de humor repentinos o irritabilidad • Dolores o malestares físicos sin causa médica clara • Ansiedad o sensación de estar sobrepasado • Dificultades para afrontar lo cotidiano • Pensamientos que se repiten y no dan tregua • Falta de ganas o desinterés por lo que antes generaba placer • Problemas en los vínculos que se vuelven frecuentes o difíciles de manejar Cada proceso es único. A veces alcanza con hacer lugar a una pregunta para que algo comience a moverse.

Social work chose me! When I wrote my personal essay for my MSW, I realized social work had always surrounded me. I remember helping elderly neighbors, teaching friends how to count money, and researching services for my autistic brother. There were so many events between those gaps and yet to come. I always desired to help people. My brother’s diagnosis widened my eyes to my calling, but life had other plans for me and I became a secretary. As a secretary, I found myself being hired in the mental health arena, including the areas of AIDS research, mental health, addiction services, and college counseling. Social work is my second career but it's always been my first passion. I pull from both my personal and professional experiences and allow these experiences to teach and mold me.

Hi, I'm Aaron. Are you someone who just feels like life is kicking you while you are down? Are you constantly looking in the mirror and disliking what you see? Do you find that no matter where you are and who you are with, you still feel alone? Let's see if we can change that. Let's aim to challenge our thoughts and be there for ourselves. Let's create a plan that will empower us to take back control over our life and love what we see when looking in the mirror. Let's work together to live a happy and more fulfilling life. I strive to help high-functioning individuals to rediscover their inner strength to overcome their trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. I work with clients to help them challenge the thoughts holding them back. I implement a variety of therapeutic techniques to fit the needs of the client. I also use music and guided meditations to facilitate self-understand, along with providing tools they can use at home to help deal with stress, anxiety and depression. My main focus is to empower clients to better enable them to understand what is in their control and how they can make positive changes in their life. Reaching out for help is always scary because you do not know where to start or what to expect. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back.

Are you having difficulty finding your place in a world that feels increasingly alienating? Do you find yourself feeling unseen or misunderstood by the people around you? Do you have difficulty maintaining friendships or often feel hurt or used in romantic relationships? Have you ever felt like you're trying so hard to have the life you thought you'd be living by now, but it seems like you can never quite get it right? Hi, I’m Nikki! I’m a neurodivergent-affirming therapist licensed in South Carolina and Florida. I specialize in supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck—especially those navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and identity exploration. My goal is to help you better understand yourself—how your mind works, how your emotions show up, and how your past experiences shape your present—so you can move through life in a way that actually fits you, not just what’s expected of you. The term "neurodivergent" is an annoying buzzword to some, but for me and many of my clients, it is both our superpower and one of our biggest challenges in life. In my therapeutic practice, I take into account how neurodiversity (and its intersectionality with race, culture, age, gender, sexuality, spirituality, and other systems) impacts my clients lives and help them navigate accordingly.

Ready to spill? You're in the right place! My name is Nancy, I'm a neuro-affirming therapist (ADHD fam I see you) and your future emotional support human (if you want me to be). I offer individual therapy grounded with clinical insight, millennial energy, and spice from South India! I hope you and I can soon spill the chai! Let me go first. I was raised in the diverse neighborhoods of Queens, NY (yes, just like your friendly neighborhood Spiderman) where I developed a deep cultural competence that now enrich my therapeutic approach. I grew up living with progressive vision loss so I know what it feels like when life starts to unravel. I was night blind by the age of 11 and lost 80% of my vision over the years. Trust me, I know what a Menty B, (especially growing up with all the pressures and expectations of the Indian culture). Whether you're untangling your identity, spiraling at 3 am, or doom-scrolling your way out of an existential crisis, I got you. My approach blends several therapeutic styles: Psychodynamic Therapy: to uncover how childhood and family dynamics still show up today (yep, we’re going there) CBT: to help reframe those “I’m not enough” thoughts Mindfulness: because sometimes we just need to breathe and not dissociate Culturally Sensitive Trauma-Informed Care: to support deep insight and generational healing Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and real. We’ll laugh, cry, unpack, and grow (sometimes all in one session) You deserve a space where you don’t have to over-explain yourself, mask your emotions, or code-switch your pain. I bring my full, authentic self into our sessions so you can too. If you're ready to start healing or just want to vibe-check a therapist who gets it, book a consult or book your session now!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been a social worker for 15 years. I've worked with active duty, veterans, aging adults, kids, adolescents, couples and individuals over the course of my career. One thing that has remained constant regardless of who I've worked with, is that we all have had to combat anxiety or depression at some point. For some it has been a life long struggle, while for others there was life situation that brought those feelings on. I enjoy working with clients who are seeking strategies to manage their anxiety and depressive symptoms, because I've seen when they learn these strategies they're able to use them consistently for the other issues life brings.

Hi there! My name is Lauren and I am a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has been in the field since 2019. Have you ever felt like asking for help or seeking counseling is a sign of weakness? I challenge you to consider the strength it takes to admit that you can’t handle something on your own and actually seek out help, so congratulations you took that first difficult step. As a counselor, I have experience working with a wide range of client identified issues including: depression, anxiety, PTSD, low self-worth, anger issues, communication issues, caregiver burnout, life transitions, and childhood trauma. I strive to help clients work through challenges and gain new insight and perspectives. I’d love the opportunity to help you work toward becoming the best version of yourself. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, substance abuse disorders, adjustment disorders, life transitions, primary caregivers, PTSD, and childhood trauma. I have experience working with, and alongside law enforcement officers, first responders, and veterans. I provide both traditional counseling and equine assisted psychotherapy to adults 18 and older.

Hi, I’m Maria—a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals find clarity, healing, and resilience through life’s challenges. I became a therapist because I deeply believe in the power of connection and the importance of feeling seen, heard, and understood. My passion for mental health grew from personal experiences and professional work in diverse communities, where I witnessed the strength people carry even in their most difficult moments. I hold a master’s degree in social work and am a licensed clinical social worker. My professional background includes working in outpatient mental health clinics and hospitals, where I’ve supported individuals facing anxiety, depression, parenting stress, identity issues, and relationship difficulties. I have extensive experience working with young adults, adults, and parents—particularly those navigating cultural stressors, life transitions, and caregiver burnout. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness. I tailor treatment to each person’s unique story, helping clients develop healthier thought patterns, regulate emotions, and reconnect with their strengths. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain, therapy can be a space to feel supported and empowered. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your path to healing and growth.
