Hello. My name is Mandy and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida. I have worked extensively with adolescents in a group home setting providing individual, group and family therapy to address issues including depression, anxiety and trauma. I have also worked with at-risk youth in a partial-hospitalization setting. I also have been working closely with members of the LGBTQ+ community, those struggling with Substance Abuse Disorders and those living with HIV and AIDS. To me it is very important that your identity is respected in our sessions and I strive to offer a compassionate, safe space for all. I am offering that to you as well. On a more personal side, when I am not seeing clients, I am out roller skating, spending time with my pets or planning an adventure. I also love music so if that is something you want to bring into our sessions, I am excited to do so.

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.

Painful experiences often lead people to develop protective strategies to manage overwhelming emotions. These strategies may appear as perfectionism, emotional avoidance, anger toward loved ones, or repeated involvement in unhealthy relationships. While they can offer temporary relief, they often create disconnection from oneself and others, contributing to feelings of loneliness, shame, anxiety, and depression. I am dedicated to helping individuals strengthen their sense of self worth and process traumatic experiences that contribute to insecure attachment and unhelpful patterns. I believe that although emotional wounds often occur within relationships, healing also takes place through safe and supportive connection. With compassion, courage, and a willingness to explore difficult experiences, meaningful and lasting change is possible. Healing can happen, and there is always hope.

With a deep passion for breaking the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health, I have dedicated the last ten years to assisting individuals who grapple with the complex interplay of mental health issues and underlying substance abuse. I’ve witnessed how the societal stigma often conceals the very real barriers individuals face in their daily lives. My mission is to empower them with coping skills and strategies that allow them to embrace a life of recovery and resilience. As a therapist, I focus on guiding patients towards building essential skills to overcome their challenges. I believe that mental health issues come in myriad forms, and it is our duty to provide support, unburdened by negative stereotypes and judgment. Together, let’s shatter the silence and create a path towards hope, recovery and well-being.

I am a dedicated mental health therapist with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and heal from past experiences. I primarily serve adults and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, and relationship issues. Many of my clients are working through complex emotional patterns, past trauma, or navigating transitions in their personal or professional lives. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I utilize evidence-based modalities such as CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness to support clients in gaining insight, building coping skills, and creating meaningful change. The impact of this work can be transformative—clients often develop stronger self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and a renewed sense of empowerment in their lives.

"Healing is possible, even when it feels far away." I'm Liz, a LCSW who specializes in working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and perinatal mental health. Maybe you've spent years learning how to keep going. You're capable, dependable, and often the person others turn to. But underneath it all, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you don't fully understand. On the inside, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. You might find yourself overthinking, staying constantly busy, feeling on edge, struggling to slow down, or wondering why certain patterns keep showing up in your relationships and daily life. Often, these responses developed for a reason. They helped you cope with difficult experiences and get through what you had to get through. Trauma isn't just something that happened in the past. It can affect how safe you feel in the world, how you relate to others, and how you see yourself. It can leave you feeling disconnected from your emotions, your body, or the person you want to be. I provide a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed space where we can explore these experiences at a pace that feels manageable. My approach is relational and collaborative. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we'll work together to understand the patterns that have been keeping you stuck, process past experiences, build coping tools that actually fit your life, and strengthen your connection to yourself. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more able to move through life with a greater sense of choice, confidence, and self-understanding. Healing looks different for everyone, and we'll work together to find what that looks like for you.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving clients virtually throughout Texas and Florida. I specialize in working with adults, high-achievers, and "the strong ones"—the fixers, leaders, and those who are used to taking care of everyone else but are secretly running on empty. My primary treatment areas include: Anxiety & Overthinking: Helping you quiet the racing thoughts and find relief from that constant, "on-edge" feeling. Burnout Recovery: Providing practical tools for professionals and caretakers who are emotionally exhausted and operating on fumes. Life Transitions: Navigating the disorienting, messy middle of major life, career, or relationship changes. In our sessions, you don’t need a script; just show up as you are.

You don't have to carry this heavy load alone anymore—let's work through it together.

I have several years of experience treating individuals, families, and adolescents using a holistic, empathic, and trauma-informed approach. Watching friends and family struggle with mental health and substance abuse issues fueled my passion for helping those who struggle with these difficulties from a place of understanding, patience, and empathy. I received a BA in psychology first, which led to obtaining a substance abuse certificate. I gained experience working with families and individuals and, after some time, I was ready to further my education and obtained a Master of Social Work. This helped me expand my clinical skills and learn more targeted therapy modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, psychoanalytical care, and art therapy. I found these approaches are a great synthesis of neuroscience, trauma, and creativity.

I am currently accepting new clients for individual sessions via teletherapy. I have been practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida for the past 25 years and am also a Licensed Therapist in Virginia, largely with a focus in the areas of trauma, depression, anxiety, emotion regulation, relationship conflict, and self-esteem. I feel many of the responses we struggle with are connected to a traumatic event (or perceived trauma) from the past. Currently, my primary focus has been in the individual realm, with a focus on relationship growth. I will encourage you to prioritize the areas you wish to address in therapy and tailor my approach on an individual basis. I believe in client autonomy so the areas that are addressed are the areas you want to address. I draw on several treatment modalities (including, but not limited to, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to allow you to further develop your strengths and help you meet all of your treatment plan goals at a speed that works best for you. I also have completed training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as the Developmental Model for Couples and integrate both of these approaches into my relational therapy practice. Overall, I help you to see that managing the stressor is more important than just managing the stress as it will allow you to cope with anything that comes your way.

Hello, I'm Rose-Marie, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Life can be stressful at times and it can be hard to cope with the everyday changes and curve balls thrown at you. Sometimes we don't think about the importance of our mental health. We struggle with adjusting to the changes life sends our way and may end up becoming anxious or depressed. In today's busy world we find ourselves playing multiple roles that require a lot of our time. We may even find it hard to communicate our feelings, emotions, wants and needs in our various relationships. As a result we may neglect to take care of ourselves or may focus more on one of our roles while neglecting the others. As a working mother of two, I totally get this and I am passionate about helping other parents navigate these demands. I can help you explore and find ways to cope. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help address the thoughts that led to depression and increased persistent anxiety. I also use Solution Focused Therapy to look at what worked and how to do more of it. The great thing is that you took the first step by seeking a therapist. This can be scary, but I believe in creating an open and safe environment for you to share issues and feelings without feeling judged. I work with you at a pace you feel comfortable with while building the therapeutic relationship.

Integrating clinical expertise with Christian values, I strive to support emotional healing, resilience, and personal growth. I believe true healing occurs when mind, body, and spirit are nurtured together. My work focuses on helping clients manage stress, regulate emotions and move forward with hope, faith, and intention while honoring each individual's unique journey. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of South Florida and my graduate studies at the University of South Carolina. Throughout my career, I have served diverse populations, including children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults.

A native of St. Petersburg, Florida, she has over seven years of experience helping adolescents, young adults, and adults navigate life's challenges with compassion, clinical excellence, and faith.

Caprice believes that true healing addresses the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. She specializes in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions using evidence-based therapies while thoughtfully integrating biblical principles into the counseling process for clients who desire faith-based care. Through Essence & Grace Development Center, her mission is to create a safe and welcoming environment where clients, especially minorities and people of color, feel seen, heard, and valued. She is committed to helping individuals develop emotional resilience, strengthen healthy relationships, discover their God-given identity, and become the healthiest version of themselves. Whether clients are seeking emotional healing, spiritual growth, or practical coping strategies, Caprice considers it a privilege to walk alongside them on their journey toward lasting hope, healing, and transformation.

Hi there! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida. I received my Master of Social Work from at the University of Central Florida. I'm a Florida native, where I've raised my children as a single mom and business owner. I have learned to roll with the punches and enjoy helping others not only survive, but thrive in adversity.

Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve worked in the mental health field for 27 years across substance use treatment, outpatient care, and hospital settings. I’ve supported individuals and families through crisis, transition, and long-term growth. I work well with young adults, adults, and families who are navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, or major life changes. I also have extensive experience working with men who may struggle to express emotions directly and instead feel stuck in withdrawal, irritability, or self-doubt. As a veteran, I understand the mindset and pressures that can come with military life. Across all of my work, I aim to provide a grounded, steady presence where honesty, insight, and meaningful change can take place.

If you are ready to set some personal goals and engage in growth, I would love to work with you. I work to meet you where you are, identifying goals in our intake session so that we can choose an evidence based curriculum that best fits your needs. I have experience with and utilize substance curriculums, anger management, trauma focused, grief focused, mindfulness based as well as a curriculum focused on becoming more open.

Do you feel like you are being held back because of a depressed mood, anxious feelings, or past trauma? Are you uncomfortable with being vulnerable, and trusting others? Are you struggling with shame or guilt? Imagine having meaningful relationships, feeling confident, and having more control over your life. What would that look like? If this interests, you then feel free to schedule an intake or a consultation. I am glad you found my page and would love to connect with you. I am not here to judge you! My job is to create a safe, non-judgmental space to guide and support you as you work on creating the path you want to take.

Hola! If you are reading this you have stepped out of your comfort zone and are exploring who you can trust with your innermost thoughts and feelings. As a mental health professional, I have seen first-hand the plight of the human condition. Throughout the past 20+ years, I have gained incredible experience & insight that have uniquely prepared me for this work. As a licensed clinical social worker I have served diverse populations well, throughout the New York Tri-State area as well as in Florida's Southwest & Central areas since 2013 in various capacities. From my own curative journey I have borrowed a whole-person approach: mind, body, & soul. There is no "magic pill," or quick fixes when it comes to harnessing sustainable mental wellness. It has been my personal experience that this process can lead to deep restoration from the layers of adversity. Each layer will reveal itself in its own time. This is why therapy will look different for everyone at different stages of life. I would be honored to support you in exploring what hurts, frustrates, confuses, & a host of other emotions that come up when revisiting difficult childhood experiences, losses, grievances, life transitions, & postpartum. As a trauma-informed & trauma-responsive professional, I will hold a non-judgmental space, where you will be patiently supported and spurred on along your therapeutic journey. You will be provided with a safe place where you can explore your thoughts & emotions to manifest a shift in your perspective developing the clarity, growth, peace, & healing you so desire.

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels both supportive and collaborative. My goal is to provide a safe space where clients can process trauma, explore challenges, and build the skills they need to live more fully. I offer psychotherapy, therapeutic assessments, and specialized interventions designed to meet each client’s unique needs. Whether you are navigating life transitions, managing mental health concerns, or seeking greater clarity in your relationships, I aim to help you feel understood and empowered. As I often remind clients, our connection to the world is shaped by the people we engage with. Together, we can build on your existing strengths and experiences to create meaningful change and improve your quality of life. As an athlete, a family man, and a man of faith, I understand the challenges with adjusting to change associated with leaving a sport or career, you love, before you believe your time is up. I understand what it feels like to develop a bond and the challenges with sustaining such bonds. I also understand seeking growth spiritually when there’s so much temptation and triggers that seem to pull me away for my goals. With that, these experiences are what hopefully keep me humble, motivated, and grateful.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about walking alongside individuals who want to heal, grow, and build healthier ways of navigating life’s challenges. Over the years, I have worked with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and difficulties in relationships, and I have seen firsthand how meaningful therapy can be when it feels both safe and effective. I believe that therapy should be a space where you feel understood and supported while also learning concrete tools to create change in your everyday life. My role is to listen as well as help you gain insight, shift unhelpful patterns, and strengthen your confidence in managing stressors. I bring warmth, compassion, and evidence-based strategies to my work so that clients leave sessions feeling both validated and equipped to move forward.
