Most people don’t need a diagnosis. They need someone to actually listen. And I’m here for it all. I’m here to help you figure it out by talking through the part you’ve been trying to carry alone. This is where you say the things you’ve never said out loud. You need to be understood. This is where you stop pretending it didn’t affect you. If you’re looking for someone who will just quietly nod as you pour out your heart and soul, I’m not the right therapist for you. I ask questions. I’m curious. I’m a therapist who helps people make sense of their inner world - especially during seasons of heartbreak, confusion, or change. My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed or lost. Together we create a space for clarity, healing, and grounded movement toward wholeness. I aim to provide warmth, practicality, insight, and encouragement which is blended, at times, with a bit of humor. My style is interactive, thoughtful, and deeply collaborative. You can expect sessions to be supportive and also gently challenging – the kind which will help you grow, and not just endlessly vent (although you are welcome to unburden yourself as needed). I believe that in our darkest moments, we need someone to walk with us. There’s nothing more meaningful to me than helping people find the light they thought they’d lost. What happened to you is not the ending of your story. It is the doorway to something deeper. I won’t pretend to have all the answers. I wish I could wave a magic wand and solve it all! But I promise I will bring curiosity, steadiness, and care every time you show up. To learn more, please visit my website: www.careycenter.com

I am a licensed therapist who is passionate about helping clients navigate burnout. I am passionate because I have been there and was tired of getting unhelpful answers from people who meant well but did not seem to understand. Advice like ‘sleep it off’ and ‘take a deep breath’ we're common and it felt like I was putting a bandaid on a gaping wound. I promise, life does not need to be a constant cycle of burning out and starting again. Through our work together we will explore ways to ‘stitch’ the gaping wound so you are actually able to heal and move towards a more balanced life. Through our work together I will use imagery and analogies to help you better understand how and why your body and mind is reacting the way it is. Like a birds eye view, I am able to see some of the signs that are right in front of you but are too zoomed in to see clearly. In a non-judgmental space I use education and a bit of humor to help you see the full picture and move towards a healthier balance.

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!

Hi! My name is Moriah E. McCarthy. I am a licensed mental health counselor that believes in a holistic and blended approach with respect for the mind-body-spirit connection. Mental health is a pivotal component of all wellness. Treatment with me blends the exploration of the past and the deepening of insight with more concrete interventions and a forward-focused momentum. I use psycho-education and skills-building to empower clients to support themselves after counseling. Strengths and weaknesses are brought forward to integrate thoughts, feelings and actions into the whole self. I believe in collaborating with clients throughout the process. Clients feel supported and also challenged to take responsibility for their own success. When you work with me, I hope that we partner in your treatment. I value your feedback, appreciate you opening to possibilities, and taking action for greater stability. My approach is best described as client-centered and creative.

Hello! My name is Melissa Sonthonax and I have seven years of experience in the mental health field (as an LMHC) in the state of FL. While, I have worked with clients of all ages, my primary work is with adults, especially from the 20s and 30s age range. My specialty is working with individuals who specifically struggle with general anxiety, social anxiety, low self esteem, relationship issues, life transitions and other everyday issues. I have training in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and solution focused approaches. I understand that each person has their own unique situations, therefore I value giving each person individual plans of action to address their issues. My goal is for you to feel free to express yourself in addition to guiding you in identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. Sometimes it can be hard to reach out for help on addressing personal issues, especially with someone you don't know. However, I am here to meet you where you are and guide you in this process. I provide virtual and in person sessions. I look forward to speaking with you for a free 15 minute phone consultation.
