Hello! I’m Dr. Liana Lorenzo-Echeverri, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) dedicated to supporting women, moms, and moms-to-be across Florida through online therapy. With both a Master’s and a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University, I bring a blend of professional expertise and heartfelt understanding to every session. As a mother of two, I deeply understand the joys and challenges that come with pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and navigating life transitions. I specialize in maternal mental health, including prenatal and postpartum support, grief from miscarriage, and helping women explore meaningful life decisions around parenthood and identity. My passion is creating a safe, empowering, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your goals, strengthen your resilience, and build the life you envision. Over the years, I’ve helped women as young as 18 recognize their inner strengths, gain clarity through change, and overcome stress, anxiety, or uncertainty. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by motherhood, considering whether to have children, or simply navigating the complexities of modern life, I work collaboratively with you to uncover strategies that promote balance, confidence, and well-being. My approach centers on understanding you — your story, your values, and your unique experiences — so we can tailor therapy to meet your needs. I’m here to support you, help you feel heard, and empower you to face life’s transitions with courage and confidence. If you’re ready to begin, I invite you to schedule a therapy session so we can explore how working together may support your goals.

In my practice, I utilize an integrative approach that draws from a variety of evidence-based modalities. I believe that no single therapeutic method works for everyone, which is why I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual I work with. My toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns; Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which focuses on building skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness; Person-Centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard; Solution-Focused therapy, which concentrates on finding practical solutions to present challenges; EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is particularly effective for trauma processing; and Psychoeducation, which empowers clients with knowledge about their conditions and coping strategies.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of experience in the mental health field. My approach is client-centered, with a strong foundation in Motivational Interviewing to support clients in identifying and achieving their personal goals. I focus on building resilience by collaboratively developing effective coping strategies and empowering clients with the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity. **Some additional time slots not listed on calendar may be available upon request**

Ready to make some changes in your life? We all have a lot going on in our lives and are often being pulled in different directions, making it hard to consider therapy as a helpful resource.

I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and free to be fully honest about what they are experiencing. I believe therapy works best when clients feel supported while also being encouraged to look at things openly and directly. I value transparency, curiosity, and practical growth, and I work with clients to help them better understand themselves, build resilience, and make meaningful changes in their lives.

Hey there! I'm Nandi, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in South Florida. I'm all about making life better for teens and young adults through empathetic and culturally relevant mental health care. With a career spanning 6 years in the field of mental health I began as an intake specialist, where I first recognized the immense need for personalized, empathetic support in this critical phase of life.

To make sure that mental health care is not just easy to get but also speaks to everyone’s unique experiences and background. I believe that tailored support is the key to lasting growth.

Hi, I’m Yadiel Muñoz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with six years of professional experience. I specialize in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, trauma, and issues related to motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. While every person’s journey is unique, I’ve consistently seen clients begin to experience meaningful progress within our first four sessions together. My goal is to equip you with the tools, insights, and strategies you need to thrive—and ultimately reach a place where you feel empowered and no longer need my support. I’m committed to creating a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self. In our work together, you’ll find both a trusted partner you can confide in and a guide who will compassionately challenge you to grow.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who was born and raised in the Caribbean and immigrated to the United States at age twelve. I obtained my Master's Degree from Columbia University in Social Work and have been a licensed clinician for nine years. I work with clients that struggle with depression, anxiety, self esteem, life transitions, trauma, substance misuse, psychosis, mood disorders, to name a few. My goal as a therapist is to always meet the client where they are; to provide a space where the client is heard and validated; to provide guidance, empathy, and support to allow the client to build on their own strengths to in turn process and overcome their life challenges.

I specialize in working with people struggling with eating disorders—anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and related challenges. I recognize these aren't simply about food; they're deeply intertwined with emotional complexity, cognitive patterns, and questions of self that demand thorough, empathetic treatment. Through my specialized Modified DBT training, I help clients navigate overwhelming feelings while building healthier ways of coping. I also frequently work with those facing debilitating anxiety—whether it shows up as persistent worry, panic attacks, or avoidance. My practice includes young adults in transition, working professionals dealing with performance stress, and adolescents managing social and academic demands. Beyond this, I support people experiencing depression who want active, goal-oriented approaches to confront negative thinking and rediscover purpose. I work with trauma survivors prepared to work through painful experiences, individuals with mood disorders seeking greater equilibrium, and those navigating identity questions tied to life changes, relationships, or core values. What my clients have in common is readiness—they're committed to actively participating in their healing. They're looking for more than a listening ear; they want actionable tools, collaborative exploration, and proven methods that lead to real transformation. If you're willing to engage fully and commit to your own development, I'm ready to partner with you on that journey.

My work encompasses individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, ADHD, depression, manage or improve addictive behavior, emotional dysregulation and life transitions (including women's issues). My work is informed by formal training in EMDR as well as, traditional talk therapy with a strong foundation in CBT and DBT—but therapy with me isn’t about rigid techniques or worksheets for the sake of it. I focus on helping clients understand why patterns exist, not just how to manage symptoms. EMDR allows us to work at the root level and utilize the integration of traditional talk therapy with CBT and DBT. Cognitive and Dialectical behavioral therapies provide practical tools for navigating daily life such as, mindfulness practices and working to defeat cognitive distortions that impact our relationships. I integrate these approaches thoughtfully, adapting the work to the person in front of me rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model. Clients often describe my style as direct, solution focused, collaborative, and grounded. The bond that is created between us is the most important, and I believe meaningful change happens when therapy feels both safe, person centered and honest—where insight leads to action, and healing is something we actively build together.

I work with clients struggling with relationship, addiction, and anger problems as well as mood instability and trauma. After building rapport and developing goals and objectives, we will collaborate to find working solutions, improve coping skills, and identify barriers to personal improvement. If your tired of having the same arguments or going to bed angry, you're not alone. Most couples get stuck in patterns of communication or behavior that are painful and yet difficult to confront. The good news is you can learn a new way. I help partners feel heard and close once again. Reach out for a free 15 minute call to see if we are a good fit.

I love working with clients who are willing and eager to engage in learning and exploration of the self to promote growth, healing, recovery, and quality of life. Serving clients of all ages, we offer a broad platform of support to make it possible to access services in a way that is safe, gentle, and compassionate. Younger children may enjoy incorporating games and puppets into care while older youth may benefit from creative activities, exploration of media, or collaborative projects. Clients of all ages may benefit from support through bibliotherapy, hypnosis, or NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming).

I have two Master of Arts degrees from Kutztown University - one in Counseling Psychology (obtained in 1995) and the other in School Counseling (obtained in 2004). I started in mental health therapy in 1995, moved into substance abuse counseling for several years, then to school counseling while I raised my son for 18 yrs, and now have returned to mental health/substance use counseling as that is my passion. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband doing outdoor activities - especially riding the Harley and going out on the water. I love to exercise and walk daily and enjoy knitting in my spare time. Everyone in life (including therapists at times) need someone to talk to in order to help resolve problems, manage stress, process trauma or enhance coping skills. I believe in looking at what you want to accomplish as the goal of therapy and then working on skills to achieve that goal. I utilize trauma stabilization and reprocessing strategies, cognitive-behavioral techniques as well as person-centered and solution focused techniques. I believe everyone has the tools inside them to achieve their goals; it is just about unlocking them and utilizing them. I have worked extensively with trauma survivors in addition to clients dealing with depression, anxiety, eating and substance use disorders. I have worked with the LGTBQ+ community. I enjoy working with all clients but prefer working with those ages 8 and older. I offer individual, couples, and family counseling.

Hello, I’m Carmen Bales, LCSW. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a background in hospice and medical social work, where I’ve spent many years supporting people through grief, chronic stress, life transitions, and uncertainty. In therapy, I offer a calm, supportive space for adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally stuck—even when they appear “high-functioning” on the outside. My approach is integrative and person-centered, drawing from talk therapy, expressive arts, and body-based (somatic) awareness to help clients reconnect with themselves and make sense of what they are carrying. You do not need to be “creative” to work with me. Expressive and reflective tools are used gently and always at your comfort level. I believe healing begins with being seen, understood, and supported—rather than being rushed to fix or change yourself. If you choose to have sessions with me, you will be truly seen.
