Hi! My name is Desiree, and I'm the founder and owner of Light at the End Counseling Services, LLC. As a mental health therapist in the state of Florida, I specialize in working with adults, children, and teens struggling with anxiety and stress management. I also see individuals who struggle with self-esteem, relationships, and family issues. My style of counseling is characterized by a kind and direct manner, combined with compassion, in a culturally sensitive context. I am also a certified school counselor. My past work enhanced my professional experience as an educator in St. Lucie County and as a dependency case manager for The Department of Children and Families (DCF). I graduated with honors from Webster University with a Master of Arts Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I returned to graduate school to receive my Education Specialist Degree in School Counseling from Florida Atlantic University, graduating with honors. I was born and raised in Florida and enjoy spending time with my family at the beach, especially during those hot summer days!

My passion in the mental health field is to encourage children and teens to become life-long advocates for their emotional, mental, and physical well-being. It is my hope that together, we will find useful strategies that can be built upon and continue to grow during both the ups and downs of adolescence and beyond. My clients often present with moderate to severe worries and anxiety around “typical” angst related to school, activities, and relationships. Sometimes the stress is sneaky and camouflaged to look like fatigue, irritability, and apathy. I find that many young people use coping skills that may not be the healthiest; however making the initial decision to seek out better solutions through counseling provides countless options for therapeutic approaches. In 2025, I proudly founded my own practice, Grand Wellness Group, in an effort to continue to provide the best support for clients, families, and supervision for clinical mental health providers.

Hi, thanks for stopping by! The founding principles I have based my professional practice on are: empathy, respect, non-judgement and self-awareness. Very well acquainted personally and professionally with Anxiety, I have developed a specialty in this area. My approach to Anxiety and Mental Health in general, is one of "working with" rather than "fighting against". I have found it effective to start therapy by focusing on where the client is at on any given moment, and together working our way to where the client wants to be. My therapy style is Solution-focused, with emphasis on Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, also informed by Systems Theory, Humanistic and Psychodynamic concepts. I have always been fascinated with the study of the human mind, especially the unconscious, and the impact personal perspective has on the circumstances we experience.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 20 years of experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, chronic illness, and life transitions. My approach is warm, solution-focused, and deeply supportive. I use a mix of evidence-based and mind-body tools to help clients gain insight, release what’s no longer serving them, and feel more empowered in their day-to-day lives. At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in a space where you feel truly understood, and where growth feels both possible and sustainable.

Life can feel overwhelming, relationships can be complicated, and emotions can be messy. But you don’t have to figure it all out alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to explore your thoughts and experiences in a way that truly makes sense for you. ​ I’m Nevedha White, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of The Rooted Refuge. I hold a Master of Social Work, along with dual Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Social Work from the University of South Florida. My academic training and years of clinical experience have given me a strong foundation in trauma-informed care, human development, and evidence-based therapeutic practices. ​ I have experience working with individuals of all ages—including children, young adults, couples, and families. My specialties include supporting neurodivergent individuals, navigating attachment and identity, and helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also have a deep passion for working with LGBTQ+ individuals, those from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, and people living with chronic illness and pain. ​ Over the course of my career, I have supported clients in community mental health, outpatient family services, crisis centers, and intensive care programs. My training in CBT, DBT, play therapy, art therapy, and animal-assisted techniques allows me to adapt therapy to meet each person’s unique needs. I have also developed and facilitated therapeutic groups that focus on coping skills, emotional regulation, and resilience. ​ At The Rooted Refuge, I bring all of these experiences together to create a safe, affirming, and inclusive practice. My work is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and respect for each individual’s story. Here, you’ll find a space to heal, grow, and build meaningful connections—with yourself and others

Welcome! As a therapist, I blend clinical excellence with soulful authenticity. I don’t just teach skills, I invite clients to experience themselves differently by creating a safe but no-nonsense space where people can be real about their struggles, laugh when needed, and still dig deep into the roots of their pain. Insightful, relational, and spiritually grounded, clients experience a compassionate guide who will hold space for their wounds and challenge them when they’re stuck in unhealthy cycles.

Hi everyone! I'm Josh. Do you struggle with social anxiety and poor self-confidence? I know that overcoming it is possible! Many come to therapy for social anxiety because of childhood trauma and how it has manifested in their adult lives. Often this manifests in feelings of poor self-confidence, poor self-worth, and poor self-confidence. At its root, the fundamental belief of those who have social anxiety is the belief, “I am not enough.” Clients get into the habit of comparing themselves to others and it makes them feel inadequate and insecure. Over time clients begin to avoid situations that elicit their anxiety, particularly social situations. This can lead to social isolation and loneliness. Clients will present with complaints of frequent panic attacks, not having a romantic partner, not having friends, not being happy in their jobs and feeling disconnected from life. They are labeled by others as shy, quiet, or introverted. This scenario described myself for much of my life which gives me lived experience to better able to assist you. I help individuals combat their social fears and begin to live a rich and fulfulling life. I do this through cognitive behavioral therapy techniques primarily but also integrate solution-focused therapy, assertiveness training, exposure therapy, and acceptance & commitment therapy. Whether you're a teen struggling to make friends and socialize or you are an adult unable to speak up at work meetings or unable to ask someone out on a date, I'm here for you! Seeking therapy can be frightening but I want to assure you that you will be most welcome if you take that leap of faith!
