Therapists in Florida

I am a licensed mental health counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Certified Autism Specialist with 36 years of experience in the field of developmental disabilities and mental health. My extensive background allows me to provide comprehensive support to individuals of all ages. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Animal Assisted Therapy, Trauma-Focused Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, Play Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Trauma-Informed Counseling. These diverse and evidence-based methods allow me to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, helping them heal, grow, and build resilience.

Starting therapy can be a difficult process. I make this process as easy for you as possible. Therapy starts with us getting to know each other and for me to understand your needs for treatment. I want to make sure that I can meet your requirements and help you work on what you came into treatment for or find you someone who can. As a therapist, I help you become the best version of yourself. My job is to give you the skills to manage difficulties when they occur. Situations occur that you may not feel equipped to handle. Let me support you to help you get through and gain insight about yourself and your ability to handle things in the future. I provide a comfortable and non-intrusive environment. I work with people to help them develop a strong sense of self, learn to have healthier relationships, learn mindfulness, distress tolerance skills, and other ways to regulate their emotions, reduce anxiety, and learn to be less impulsive. If you have moments when you think you should reach out for help or support, even if the thoughts are fleeting, I encourage you to reach out to me for support.

Hi, I’m Nilsa Rohaidy, a bilingual (Spanish/English) LMHC, LPC, and ADHD-CCSP. I’m passionate about providing a safe, supportive space for healing and personal growth. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Iona College and have specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), including RTEP-GTEP. My approach integrates Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Play Therapy to help clients process and heal from trauma. I also draw from other evidence-based modalities such as Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.

When your life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or out of control, you may not feel like yourself. Everyday tasks seem a little harder, you may feel more impatient or sensitive, and your mind seems to focus on the wrong things. My goal is to help you navigate through these challenges in a safe and non-judgmental space so you may live a more balanced, authentic, and peaceful life. I believe that what you do in-between counseling sessions is more important than what we discuss during appointments. Therefore, I take an experiential, hands-on approach by providing you with practical tools you can use in your daily life. I see myself as a cheerleader and will work to empower you by identifying and utilizing your strengths, increasing your personal insight, and helping you see these challenges with a different perspective. I genuinely want to help you reach your goals and find relief. I have diverse experience, including binge eating disorder, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ+, self-esteem, OCD, ADHD, adjusting to college, relationship conflicts, and more.

I approach therapy with the belief that healing and growth are always possible. Change is a natural part of life, and I view counseling as a supportive space where individuals and couples can explore challenges, strengthen resilience, and move toward greater well-being. My work is grounded in compassion, empathy, and respect, creating a safe environment where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I was born in Cuba and moved to the United States with my family at a young age. Growing up in Central Florida, I became deeply curious about people, relationships, and the ways we navigate life’s struggles. That early curiosity developed into a calling to support others through their own journeys of healing and growth. Today, I work with both individuals and couples, helping them process trauma, improve communication, manage anxiety, and cultivate stronger, healthier connections. Fluent in English, Spanish, (and Spanglish), I enjoy providing therapy in whichever language feels most comfortable for my clients. My cultural background and bilingual skills allow me to offer a more inclusive and culturally sensitive counseling experience, something I believe is essential in building trust and fostering healing. In my practice, I integrate evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Gottman Method, tailoring treatment to meet each client’s unique needs. I also bring a person-centered philosophy, emphasizing empathy, authenticity, and collaboration as core elements of the therapeutic process. Outside of my professional life, I value balance and joy. I enjoy barbell strength training, which reminds me of the importance of persistence and self-care. I also love singing with my husband and spending meaningful time with family and friends. These personal joys keep me grounded and inspire the work I do with clients every day.

I am here to walk alongside you on your journey to heal and improve your mental health.

My work draws on a range of evidence-based techniques tailored to each client's needs, whether they are navigating relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions.

Ever since I was a little girl, I felt the need to help others; making a positive change in someone else’s life brought immense joy to my life. Coming from an immigrant family with limited resources, I joined the military to achieve my educational goals. While in the military, I moved a lot and had the opportunity to meet people from different cultures, backgrounds, and religions. I learned how our differences make us unique, interesting, and just wonderful. However, these differences sometimes create conflict on the inside and also on the outside. For this reason, I decided to become a social worker and help make a positive change in the world, one person at a time.

Welcome, and thank you for taking the first step toward your healing journey. My name is Juliet Stephenson, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping individuals find emotional wholeness, clarity, and peace. I believe that therapy is a powerful space for healing—where your experiences are honored, your voice is heard, and your growth is supported with compassion and clinical care. My passion is working with adolescents, adults, and families who have experienced trauma, relationship challenges, stress, and emotional overwhelm. With years of experience in inpatient, outpatient, and residential treatment settings, I bring a trauma-informed, client-centered, and spiritually grounded approach to healing.In a world that feels increasingly fast-paced and demanding, it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs. Therapy can be the place where you choose yourself again. My role is to offer a steady, compassionate presence as you navigate your personal “becoming” journey. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or struggling in your relationships or parenting, you don’t have to face it alone. Healing is possible, and together we can work toward clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. I understand that every person’s story is unique. Because of that, I draw from evidence-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed approaches to create a therapeutic experience that fits you. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can process, grow, and reclaim what matters most. Whenever you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here. Let’s begin.

Since becoming a counselor, I have worked in a variety of community counseling settings. I have worked with clients from ages 3 through 80 and with individuals, couples, and families. With that breadth of experience, very little shocks or surprises me and I have gotten a pretty good sense of where the types of counseling that play to my strengths as a counselor overlap with the types of counseling that are helpful for my clients. This sense (along with learning about lots and lots of research into what helps people find and maintain mental health) has led to the following guiding principles that shape all the counseling I do: 1) The client is always in charge. I know a lot of things but you will always be the one who decides what you want to get out of counseling, how we work towards that goal, whether or not what we’re doing seems to be working, and when we’re done. 2) Change and health happen through relationships. No matter what you come in for, there are always relational implications of change and relational factors that contribute to whatever it is that you came to counseling to change. 3) Counseling should be efficient. Counseling has significant costs in time and money. I think the benefits far outweigh the costs but if I can give you the benefits while helping you save on the costs then I want to do that.

I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist who takes a holistic, empathetic approach to helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I understand that every person is unique, and I work collaboratively with my clients to explore their emotional, mental, and even physical well-being. I specialize in therapies like EMDR, DBT, and ERP, offering tools and support to help you heal from past trauma, regulate emotions, and overcome anxiety or depression. Together, we'll focus on your growth and empowerment, creating a safe space where you feel understood and equipped to live a fulfilling life.

Salutations! Let's take a healing journey together. I strive to provide an atmosphere of compassion, empathy, and safety to promote growth and the overall well-being of my clients. I am a licensed mental health counselor, EMDR trained, and registered art therapist with over a decade in trauma informed experience and healthy relationship education. My approach to therapy is primarily person centered with an integration of modalities and methods that include EMDR, cognitive behavior therapy, art therapy, solution focus, sand tray therapy, and talk therapy to best meet the needs and desires of each client. I believe each client is the expert in their life. I receive great joy in the privilege of traveling and assisting them in their journey to develop the best version of themselves.

I would describe my style as validating, supportive, and down to earth. Clients often share that they feel comfortable being their authentic selves with me, which is one of my highest priorities in the therapy space. I bring both professional expertise and lived experience, creating a balance of humility and wisdom. While I don’t claim to know everything, I work hard to share what I’ve learned while remaining open and collaborative. I view therapy as a relationship that parallels the important connections in your life. I will meet you where you are, get to know you on your terms, and walk alongside you as you move toward growth. My goal is to provide a safe environment where you feel respected, supported, and challenged to become the best version of yourself.

I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University in 2017, followed by my Master and Doctorate in Social Work from Barry University in 2018 and 2024, respectively. I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2020 and have been practicing for 8 years. Clients often describe me as compassionate, attentive, and nonjudgmental. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are and creating a safe, collaborative space where you can openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. I take a flexible, individualized approach to therapy, blending evidence-based techniques with practical strategies tailored to your unique needs and goals. My focus is on helping you build self-awareness, develop coping skills, and strengthen resilience, all while honoring your pace and personal journey. I strive to make sessions a supportive and empowering experience, where you feel heard, understood, and encouraged to grow. I am also flexible with scheduling—if you don’t see a time that works for you, please reach out, and I will do my best to accommodate. Ultimately, my goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges with confidence and create meaningful change that feels authentic to you.

I’m a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals who are struggling with depression and anxiety. I understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel to navigate these challenges, and how much courage it takes to seek support. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and genuinely supported. My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion and grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also bring extensive experience in grief work, helping clients move through loss and life transitions with care and understanding. For those who desire it, I’m able to integrate a Christian perspective into our work together. Whether it’s drawing strength from faith, exploring spiritual questions, or grounding our sessions in biblical principles, I honor and support each client’s individual beliefs and values. Healing is a deeply personal journey, and I believe that with the right support, you can overcome what feels impossible today. Together, we’ll work to ease the weight of anxiety or depression, develop meaningful coping strategies, and help you reconnect with hope, purpose, and inner peace.

Hello, I’m Yolande Maxius, a licensed clinical social worker with expertise in various therapy techniques, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). If you’re struggling with mental health issues, I’m here to offer my assistance and support. Navigating through life’s challenges can be overwhelming, and it’s important to remember that seeking help is a sign of strength. As a trained professional, I provide a safe and compassionate space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. With EMDR, I utilize a specialized approach that can be highly effective in addressing past traumas, anxiety, phobias, and other mental health concerns. EMDR therapy helps to reprocess distressing memories and experiences, allowing for healing and positive change. By accessing the brain’s natural ability to heal, we can work together to promote resilience and foster emotional well-being. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or the aftermath of a traumatic event, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. My goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your emotions, gain insight, and develop effective coping strategies.

I’m Dr. Tracie Esmond, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of The Pathway to Wellness Counseling. I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—and together, we work toward clarity, healing, and renewed purpose. Through evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, EMDR, and strength-focused approaches, I help individuals build resilience and reclaim their lives with confidence and compassion. My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about their next steps. Together, we create a safe, supportive space where they can explore their experiences, build resilience, and rediscover their inner strength. Whether you're coping with grief, struggling with self-esteem, or working through past trauma, I’m here to walk alongside you and help you reclaim a sense of clarity, confidence, and hope. I understand that life doesn’t pause for therapy, which is why I offer convenient online sessions—including evening appointments after 5 PM—to accommodate busy professionals and those with daytime commitments. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard and empowered to heal, grow, and thrive. If you're ready to take that first step toward lasting wellness, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute introductory call. Let’s begin your journey together.
