Finding a therapist you can identify with, feeling heard & accepted can be a challenging feat. Therapists are not one size fits all. We are people with problems, just like you. I offer you over 20 years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse treatment world. I have an undergraduate degree in psychology (2001) and a graduate degree (2006) in professional counseling. With working 10 of those years in a hospital setting, I also have a decent handle on possible medical issues you might need to be referred for. After more life experience, I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2016 and opened my private practice.
I can't tell you all the answers to life's problems, but together we can come to what the best decision will be for you in particular. Your goals and values are worth exploring. Your likes and dislikes matter. Your happiness is not selfish.

Hi there! Many of us struggle in silence to overcome the challenges we face, but you no longer have to face that battle alone. From someone who has had their own personal struggles with mental health, I want you to know that you are not alone. I strive to create a space for you to feel seen, heard, and safe. As someone who has been to therapy, I understand how difficult it can be to take that next step. Finding the right therapist can be hard. Finding someone to support you, challenge you, and hold space for the things most people in our life have no idea we are facing. I would be honored to be that space for you. I hope we can work together to help you reach your goals. While the first step is acknowledging the change you need, it takes courage to recognize you need some guidance. It takes even more courage to initiate those first steps towards improving your life.
Therapy is a confidential space to slow down, reflect honestly, and gain a deeper understanding of what is happening in your life, and why certain thoughts, emotions, and patterns continue to resurface. Couture Counseling Services was founded on the idea that therapy should be crafted with authenticity and care. People deserve more than simply a generic approach to healing.
An effective therapeutic experience offers something rare: a place to speak openly, feel understood, and practice meaningful work without judgment. It can help you untangle old patterns, strengthen relationships, and move through life with more clarity, intention, and self-trust.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida providing virtual therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and couples. Over the past four years in private practice, I have worked with clients from all walks of life who are struggling to navigate anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, neurodivergence, attachment issues, parenting stress, psychotic disorders, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
Some clients come in knowing exactly what hurts or feels overwhelming. Others know something feels off. Either way, we start there.
My style is warm, thoughtful, adaptable, and deeply attuned. Sessions are intentionally structured to support progress while still feeling relaxed, genuine, and conversational rather than overly clinical. I blend evidence-based approaches with artistic expression, curiosity, humor, empathy, and practical insight. Together, we identify goals, understand patterns, explore how the past echoes in the present, and build strategies that support meaningful, lasting change.
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or disconnected from yourself? You’re not alone. I help clients navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions with compassion and insight. My goal is to support you in feeling more grounded, understood, and empowered to move forward in your life.
My approach is transpersonal, mindfulness-based, and person-centered. I focus on helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom while strengthening the mind-body connection. Together, we explore patterns, emotions, and experiences in a way that feels safe and supportive. I tailor therapy to your unique needs, integrating mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and relational work to support deep and lasting healing.
My name is Amber and I am just your average woman living life in the midwest. I am a wife, mother to 3, soon to be 4 (in September 2026), littles and therapist. I have served all kinds of populations from incarceration to outpatient working with kiddos as young as 3 to adults in their 80s. What you see in session, the laid back, goofy but can be blunt person is who you'd meet on the street if you saw me in public. I believe healing comes from within but also from the people you choose to surround yourself with. Some people have a great support system and others have me as their cheerleader and I strive to be a good one.
I am a dedicated Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relational challenges. I am committed to providing structured, goal-oriented care that promotes emotional wellness, resilience, and long-term growth.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. With experience in clinical supervision and program oversight, I am passionate about maintaining high standards of care while empowering both my clients and clinical teams to grow with confidence and clarity.

Hi there — I’m Jayne’, and I’m so glad you’re here! As a Licensed Professional Counselor serving Georgia and Florida, I specialize in working with those 28 and up who are high‑achievers, couples and individuals who feel deeply driven in their professional lives—yet somehow disconnected or stuck in their relationships, their sense of self, or the way they move through life.
You might recognize yourself if you’ve excelled in your career or set high standards for yourself, but find that your closest relationships — whether intimate, professional, or internal — aren’t feeling as connected, grounded, or fulfilling as you’d hoped. Maybe you desire genuine and fulfilling personal connections, yet you sense that fear or an inability to be vulnerable, relational habits, past trauma or unspoken patterns are quietly shaping how you engage with others or even how you show up for yourself.
In our work together, you’ll find a safe, thought-provoking, judgment‑free space to explore all of that paired with exercises and tools to connect more intentionally with others. I bring a blend of thoughtful challenge and genuine support — we’ll honor your drive and successes, while gently opening up the deeper layers of your relational world: your attachment style, your inner voice, your relational patterns, your leadership role or identity and your emotional safety.
Whether you’re an individual longing to bring your hard‑won success into a more connected, authentic life or a couple seeking more alignment and connection — I’m here to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you long to be. You don’t have to settle for high achievement and relational dissatisfaction. There’s another way — one where your strengths become bridges to deeper connection, not barriers.
Thank you for taking this step on the journey toward greater intimacy, presence and relational ease.

Hello, I'm Allison. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist who has been in private practice since 2018. I previously worked in dual diagnosis treatment centers for addiction/ mental health for seven years. I help individuals, couples and families improve communication, rebuild connection, and navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence. Many times clients who contact me have no experience in therapy, but just know that their life is not satisfying or something is off. That's enough by the way! Anything and everything can be discussed in therapy. I have frequently been told I'm easy to open up to, and clients often feel relieved that I am more directive than a therapist who listens without guidance. I enjoy cheering on my clients' wins, but also being there for the hard moments, and genuinely love what I do.
Finding relief and reconnecting with a sense of peace is more achievable than it might feel right now—and once you start, the process of change often unfolds more quickly than you expect.

Es posible que hayas escuchado frases como: “ya pasó, sigue adelante, deja eso atrás.” Sin embargo, si el dolor persiste, si sientes un nudo en la garganta, si sientes que se estruja el corazón, si impacta tu día a día, si debes aparentar que todo está bien, es muy probable que estés experimentando respuestas asociadas al trauma.
La terapia ofrece un espacio seguro y confidencial donde puedes procesar lo vivido, validar tus emociones y desarrollar herramientas para sanar y avanzar. El enfoque terapéutico centrado en el trauma permite trabajar de manera profunda y respetuosa con tu historia, fortaleciendo tu bienestar emocional. Este proceso suele recomendarse en un mínimo de 10 sesiones de terapia individual para lograr cambios significativos y sostenibles.
You may have heard things like, “Just move on,” “let it go,” or “that’s in the past.” But if the pain is still there, if your heart feels heavy, if it affects your daily life, if you have to pretend everything is fine, or if it takes great effort just to get through your responsibilities, you may be experiencing trauma-related responses.
Therapy offers a safe and supportive space where you can process what you’ve been through, validate your emotions, and develop healthy ways to heal and move forward. A trauma-focused approach allows us to work gently and effectively with your experiences while strengthening your emotional stability and sense of control.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), bilingual in English and Spanish, with extensive experience providing trauma-focused individual therapy. I earned my Master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University in Miami, Florida, and have been practicing as a mental health professional since 2017. Prior to working in the United States, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree and practiced as a Psychotherapist in Cuba for eight years.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups from diverse cultural, economic, and ethnic backgrounds. My career has taken me across the U.S. and abroad—including New York City, California, and Dublin, Ireland—giving me a broad perspective on the many ways people navigate life’s challenges.
Currently, I provide tele-therapy sessions through a HIPAA-compliant platform. Many of my clients have found this format especially helpful in balancing therapy with their busy or unpredictable schedules.
My areas of expertise include working with issues related to gender identity, sexuality, and non-traditional relationships (including polyamory and open relationships). I also bring both clinical expertise and personal insight into the challenges that arise in connection with personality disorders such as Narcissistic, Borderline, Avoidant, and Antisocial Personality Disorders. In particular, I help clients process and heal from the emotional trauma that often accompanies relationships impacted by these dynamics.
My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and grounded in respect for each person’s unique experience. Whether you are seeking support around identity, relationships, or recovery from difficult past experiences, I provide a safe and affirming space where growth and healing are possible.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I find joy in activities that keep me grounded and creative. I love traveling and exploring new places, tending to my garden, playing the piano, working out, and cooking. I also have a passion for interior design and creating welcoming spaces. Most importantly, I value quality time with my family, friends, and my dog, Batman, who always manages to bring a smile to my day.

Outside of my professional role, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, and playing card games. I’m dedicated to ongoing learning, both personally and professionally, so I can continue to provide the best support possible.
I believe that every challenge offers an opportunity for growth, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you take steps toward healing and change. Above all, I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself.
In therapy with me, there’s no judgment, no fluff, and no “one-size-fits-all” solutions. We’ll start where you are whether that’s putting out fires in your daily life or addressing deeper wounds that keep pulling you back. I combine Brainspotting, practical tools, and direct conversation to help you manage today’s struggles while healing the past. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, and domestic violence. I also work with therapists, first responders, and others carrying the weight of the world.
My style is direct, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that healing is messy but possible. Together, we’ll create a space to explore your emotions, uncover patterns, and build strategies that work for you. It’s not about perfection it’s about progress and reclaiming your life on your terms.

As a bilingual Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer a warm, culturally responsive space where clients of all ages can feel seen, heard, and supported. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and deeply person centered, grounded in the belief that healing happens through authentic connection, self-awareness, and intentional growth. For clients who desire it, I also thoughtfully integrate faith-based perspectives into the therapeutic process.
Therapy with me is more than simply talking through challenges. It is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, break free from cycles that no longer serve you, and create lasting emotional change. Together, we will explore the roots of generational patterns, navigate intrusive thoughts with compassion, and deepen your understanding of how emotions, relationships, and life experiences shape your story.
