Hello and welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with almost eight years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults. I earned my Master’s degree from Barry University and have a passion for helping people navigate life’s challenges—whether that’s anxiety, depression, school or work stress, or relationship difficulties. In our work together, I focus on teaching healthy coping strategies, improving communication skills, and finding effective ways to manage emotional triggers. My goal is to empower you to feel more balanced, confident, and fulfilled in your daily life. 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.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I have been in the field for the past 12 years. I am passionate about serving clients who are ready to create change, learning new coping tools, heal from past experiences, improve relationships, or find more confidence and peace in the daily hustle and bustle of life. Together we will work to uncover strengths, build resilience, and create practical steps towards the goals that matter most to you. My aim is to assist you in becoming the best versions of yourself while you are learning to navigate life's challenges. Ultimately, I want to make a positive impact on the lives of everyone I work with.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or emotionally exhausted from constantly caring for others while neglecting their own needs. If you’re caring for an aging parent, spouse, or another loved one over the age of 18, you don’t have to carry that stress alone. My name is Clint, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in Florida and Alabama. I specialize in supporting caregivers of older adults and individuals with disabilities over the age of 18 who may be struggling with burnout, anxiety, guilt, stress, or feeling emotionally drained. As a former primary caregiver for my father, I understand firsthand the emotional and practical challenges caregiving can bring. Balancing medical appointments, family responsibilities, work demands, and the emotional weight of supporting a loved one can leave little time to care for yourself. Since 2011, I’ve worked alongside caregivers and families to help reduce burnout, build healthier boundaries, improve coping skills, and create more balance in daily life. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on practical tools you can use outside of sessions. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, and supportive therapy to help clients manage stress, navigate difficult emotions, and reconnect with their own well-being. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. The first session is simply an opportunity for us to talk about what’s been weighing on you and explore whether working together feels like a good fit — with no pressure or expectations. If you’re ready for support, I’d be honored to work alongside you.

Hi, I’m Maria. Do you ever feel pulled in too many directions — juggling relationships, work, and your own well-being — yet never feeling caught up? I specialize in helping high achievers and busy professionals manage anxiety, prevent burnout, and reconnect with themselves. Together, we’ll identify what’s no longer serving you and create sustainable ways to restore balance. My approach is holistic, nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. I often integrate mindfulness, yoga, and creative expression to help you build self-awareness and self-compassion. Whether you’re navigating stress, relationship challenges, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I offer a safe, supportive space for healing and growth. With empathy and evidence-based techniques, we’ll work toward meaningful change—so you can feel grounded, fulfilled, and confident again.

I am a clinical social worker, therapist & life coach. I collaborate with clients in facilitating their ability to navigate their journey through change. I provide clients the opportunity to learn, change and grow, and I provide guidance for them to learn healthy adaptive ways to improve their response to encounters with life stressors and challenging life situations. Clients are engaged in various evidence based therapeutic interventions and the exploration and discovery of their untapped potential, so they can harness the necessary skills and strategies to facilitate behavioral change. In the scope of my practice I aim to empower clients through sessions that are based on a holistic, client driven approach. I view clients through the lens of their personal environment, as their well-being is significantly shaped by their life experiences. In addressing clients presenting issues, I take into consideration the correlation between their presenting issues and their environment; i.e., social, cultural and physical, that contribute to current challenging life circumstances. Focus is given to past experiences and current situations to help them navigate their therapy encounter and future successfully.

I use an Insight approach, where I help, a better understanding of themselves, which leads to “individualized solutions”. My treatment approach is short-term, problem-oriented therapy sustained by my psychoanalytic background i. I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral, psycho-educational, and humanistic modalities, as well as evidence-based techniques. I strive to create a balance within my therapeutic approach based on my client’s particular needs and preferences. I have had the honor to serve a diversity of individuals and their families in a variety of settings, such as community mental health, crisis helplines, and outpatient programs (in a hospital setting). This was the first step. This is a safe space where you can create a vision for your life, along with an action plan and strategies for how to achieve your goals once you have identified them. I will support you and encourage you to find your ambition and desire and ways to realize your possibilities.

Helping women through life transitions find balance, peace, and renewed strength.

I am a compassionate and dedicated professional, guided by a strong sense of humanism and a genuine vocation for helping others. I believe that a good life is not a fixed state, but an ongoing process—a direction rather than a destination. I see therapy as a meaningful path toward self-awareness and personal growth. It offers an opportunity to better understand yourself, redefine challenges, and transform them into learning experiences. Entering therapy requires courage, commitment, and openness, and through that process, real and lasting change becomes possible.

Hello! I began my social work journey in 2006 and have been working in the mental health field since I obtained my MSW in 2008. As a clinical social worker I have thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of helping individuals identify and address many mental health concerns and move towards the life they most desire. I am passionate about addressing the stigma around addictions and serious mental illness and I believe the best way to begin any mental health journey of recovery is with compassion and understanding. I work from a cognitive-behavioral perspective and I use a strengths-based orientation of empowerment to foster growth and progress. I feel that we are already our best selves-we just need some help letting go of the survival skills we've taken on to get through the toughest times in our lives. I have spent several years working exclusively with homeless veterans and individuals struggling with addiction, and this has given me additional perspective and insight into the needs of some of our most vulnerable populations. I am an advocate, an accountability partner, an empath and your greatest cheerleader. I'm excited to help you rediscover your best self and to claim the life you deserve.

Hi! I'm Shenita, a licensed mental health counselor for the last 11 years. During this time, I've worked with veterans (battling mental health/substance abuse challenges), couples (relationship counseling), children (emotional regulation/behavior modification), and parenting (parenting psychoeducation). My clients would describe me as relatable, respectful, and dedicated to their personal growth. I approach therapy from a team perspective. My goal is to help my clients navigate this thing called life through self-empowerment, distress tolerance/healthy coping mechanisms, and the ability to pivot when necessary. Let me help you become the author of your own life's story!!

Hi, I'm David Hobbs. I’ve been practicing as a licensed psychologist for more than 25 years, primarily utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy as an effective tool to treat anxiety and depression. As these can be emotionally debilitating conditions, addressing these issues can improve one’s sense of well-being, and thus their lives in general, dramatically. For the past 5 years, I have incorporated spirituality into my treatment regimen, thus addressing that aspect of one's personality in relation to improving their overall sense of emotional well-being. I have recently authored a book, "God is Love, Revelations From Spiritually Transformative Experiences," to help enlighten others who have questions about God and spirituality, and incorporate these lessons into their everyday lives.

Hi, I’m Shenelle Jacobs, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with over eight years of experience in the counseling field. I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I am trained in EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which allows me to help clients process difficult experiences, regulate intense emotions, and build practical coping skills. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood and empowered. Together, we will work toward strengthening resilience, increasing self-awareness, and helping you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Hi, I am Kamala, a FL and GA LMHC. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Jacksonville University in 2003 and my master's in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2015. I have worked as a mental health counselor for five years. However, I have been in the field of helping people for 18 years, starting as a case manager at a homeless shelter and later as a special education teacher. What can I can say? People are my niche. Helping individuals get through life's difficulties is my purpose. The thing about it is, we may not be able to live 100% symptom-free, but we can live productive, fulfilling lives even with some discomfort. That may sound daunting, but I think it's realistic. Do you know why? Because even when we get through one thing, another thing is somewhere on the timeline waiting. I'm here to help you get through your "thing" now and prepare you for your "thing" later. Hope to meet you soon.

Do you feel overwhelmed and exhausted at times from the demands in your life? Are you finding it hard to have a healthy work/life balance? Do you struggle to enforce boundaries? Are you consumed by your emotions? There's no need to continue to fight these battles alone when I can help! Individual therapy can help with many of these real life situations and more. Seeking therapy can be a big decision in life and I’m glad you are considering this commitment. I currently work full-time at the Department of Veterans Affairs and recently came back to my private practice part-time. With over 27 years of experience, I’ve helped thousands of individuals just like yourself with anxiety, depression, stress management, anger, grief, and compassion fatigue to name a few. Studies have shown evidenced based therapy such as CBT and CPT are proven to help decrease symptoms in disorders such as anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management, stress management, insomnia, and many more. Together, we will identify what wasn’t working for you, assess your commitment to therapy, and develop obtainable goals that will help you be your best self. I will give you tools that you can continue to use for a lifetime. And hopefully you will no longer need therapy but can rely on what you learned through therapy to help you, should you encounter a bump along this thing called "life". You can book a session with me by contacting Grow Therapy. I am available in the evenings. I look forward to working with you!

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2022 from Capella University. I have been practicing for the past 3 years. I assist teenagers, young adults, adults, and seniors with daily struggles, providing coping skills, resources, and personalized treatmetn plans for their current and future success.

Welcome! I am a mental health clinician licensed in Florida with extensive experience. I have worked with clients on a wide range of concerns including substance abuse/addiction, depression, personality disorders, relationship issues, career challenges, anxiety, ADHD, autism, domestic violence, as well as those who have experienced trauma and/or abuse. We’ll begin with an introductory session where I’ll ask some questions about your goals and expectations. From there, we’ll talk through a tentative treatment plan and discuss specific coping skills, communication tools, patterns of behavior, and action items that will help enhance your quality of life. I am excited to support you in your journey and I look forward to working together!

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (Texas and Florida) I’ve worked with Individuals, Couples, Families of various sizes, with a plethora of sessions on parenting. Nearly 20 years later, it is still a privilege to work with individuals, couples in various stages or phases of their relationship and families of all sizes. I’m often looking for "the funny" in the moment and the world around me. I greatly enjoy sarcasm, snark, and satire. I'm fairly casual but have been told I "Clean up well", and clients have told me in the past they appreciate that I do not come across as "stuffy". I daydream of going on cruises with my wife, occasionally think about bringing our children along. I treasure a long nap in a hammock, and I love movies. Once upon a time I even submitted a short film to the Cannes Film Festival (wasn't selected) but I did enter. Prior to being a therapist, I found myself listening and caring, as people would end up just talking to me and telling me their life story. I decided I should put that to good use. Growing up my family was fortunate to be able to adopt and quickly we became a larger family that could not remember there was a time when my sister had not been there. Through the process, I realized how important family and relationships. Clinically, I work with a foundation of Solution Focus and Systemic Therapy, with attributes of Narrative, Structural and/or Strategic. *** Writing animal support letters or ESA documentation, disability-related paperwork, court-mandated evaluations, divorce or custody agreement related paperwork would be out of the scope of my practice, therefore is not something I engage in at this time.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I received my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. My therapeutic approach is empathic, compassionate, effective listening, Genuineness, solution focused, strength based perspective, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). I will help you to explore and get unstuck if you are feeling stuck in life. Fun fact- I enjoy dancing, listening to music, playing miniature golf, tennis, shopping, reading, and watching a good movie.

At this time of extreme changes, I am here to help you navigate the uncertainty that many of us are facing. Hello, I'm Rachel, I have worked as a mental health therapist/counselor since 2014, (with additional experience during in-residency prior to graduation from May 2013-March 2014). I have provided therapeutic services to young children, teens, adults, families, and couples. I have provided services in a variety of settings such as: residential-inpatient, outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, and a maximum-security prison. I currently work with Veterans, some active duty, reserves, and national guard, primarily in the areas of combat and/or military sexual trauma. I have also worked with this population to help with readjusting to civilian life and other life stressors. I also have experience working with Veterans, who are also government employees, facing a lot of additional uncertainty right now. ***I am open to new clients. Please message me directly to schedule a time.***

Hi, my name is Racquel Williams, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, Utah and Arizona. Do you feel overwhelmed and pulled in a million directions? Are you struggling to have effective and open communication with your loved ones? Do you find it difficult navigating your way through life? Having conflicts in your marriage? Feeling overwhelmed being a parent? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you’ve come to the right place. Together, we can identify what’s not working and get you on the road to your happy place. I work with clients to identify their strengths and how to use them successfully, while navigating through life. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including infertility, parenting, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life changes, loss and grief. My treatment style is laid back but warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person centered therapy, solution focused therapy, and strength-based therapy. I also look at a person’s strength because we are always our biggest critic. I believe everyone has tools in their toolbox to build on. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I meet my clients where they are and work collaboratively, at their pace, to make them feel safe and supported. It takes courage to seek help while on your journey for a more fulfilling and happier life. This is the first step towards that change. If you are reading this, you are already there, and I am here to support and empower you to do the work. No availability? Send me a message and I may be able to accommodate you. I look forward to partnering with you!
