I help adults struggling with depression, anxiety, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, career challenges, relationship issues, anger management, self-esteem issues, and confidence issues learn skills to find meaning and purpose in their lives.

We will work together to identify thought patterns and behaviors, process your emotions, and explore your values and beliefs. We'll build healthy coping skills together.

Hi, I’m Kayla, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing online therapy throughout LA and FL, offering a supportive space for individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and major life transitions.

Es posible que hayas escuchado frases como: “ya pasó, sigue adelante, deja eso atrás.” Sin embargo, si el dolor persiste, si sientes un nudo en la garganta, si sientes que se estruja el corazón, si impacta tu día a día, si debes aparentar que todo está bien, es muy probable que estés experimentando respuestas asociadas al trauma.
La terapia ofrece un espacio seguro y confidencial donde puedes procesar lo vivido, validar tus emociones y desarrollar herramientas para sanar y avanzar. El enfoque terapéutico centrado en el trauma permite trabajar de manera profunda y respetuosa con tu historia, fortaleciendo tu bienestar emocional. Este proceso suele recomendarse en un mínimo de 10 sesiones de terapia individual para lograr cambios significativos y sostenibles.
You may have heard things like, “Just move on,” “let it go,” or “that’s in the past.” But if the pain is still there, if your heart feels heavy, if it affects your daily life, if you have to pretend everything is fine, or if it takes great effort just to get through your responsibilities, you may be experiencing trauma-related responses.
Therapy offers a safe and supportive space where you can process what you’ve been through, validate your emotions, and develop healthy ways to heal and move forward. A trauma-focused approach allows us to work gently and effectively with your experiences while strengthening your emotional stability and sense of control.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), bilingual in English and Spanish, with extensive experience providing trauma-focused individual therapy.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 34 years of professional experience providing psychotherapy services. I speak English and Spanish. I provide my clients with a unique approach, helping them to identify and achieve specific therapy goals in a confidential, empathetic, and trusting atmosphere. I help individuals understand their current circumstances in order to make changes that will have lasting positive effects. 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.

Hi! I’m a licensed psychotherapist who believes that meaningful change begins with understanding ourselves more deeply. My work focuses on helping individuals navigate anxiety, life transitions, and moments where they may feel stuck or uncertain about their direction. I strive to create a supportive, thoughtful space where clients can explore their experiences, build practical tools, and reconnect with a sense of clarity and personal growth.
When your child or teen is struggling, it can leave you feeling worried, overwhelmed, and unsure of what will actually help. Challenges like school stress, ADHD, family changes, or past experiences can show up in big emotions and behavior that feels hard to manage. I work with children, adolescents, and parents to help make sense of what’s happening and create more calm, confidence, and connection.
Hi, I’m Rose Browne, a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes healing happens when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. I specialize in helping adolescents and adults navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, personality disorders, and relationship challenges. My approach combines evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR with warmth, compassion, and genuine curiosity. As someone who has experienced the impact of trauma personally, I understand how overwhelming life can feel. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can build resilience, gain insight, and create lasting change at your own pace.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC) and have a PhD in Psychology. I have over 14 years of experience working in private practice with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have also worked as a school counselor for 24 years.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, life transitions, parenting issues, coping with grief and loss, abuse/domestic violence, and anger management. I completed extensive research for my dissertation in the areas of grief and the positive and negative effects of support systems. Outside of behavioral health care and in my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family.
My core belief is simple: I believe in you and your ability to become the healthiest, most fulfilled version of yourself. Life often makes it hard to see that potential, let alone know how to get there. My role is to be your guide and ally on that journey.
My path to becoming a clinician has been intentional. Beyond my master's degree in counseling and advanced post-master's training, my work in non-profit and community mental health has given me a breadth of experience with people from all walks of life. This doesn't mean "I've seen it all," but it does mean that I'm prepared to meet you where you are, without judgment. No matter what you're going through, if you are ready to take a step, so am I.

Any requests for additional administrative services like disability certification and special accommodations (such as Emotional Support Animals letters) related to a psychological condition will have to be provided by another mental health provider.

Hello there!
I believe that a person can change. I also beleive that each person deserves to feel heard and respected. My goal for you is to feel as though you can work through your issues and learn to manage your life, be content with who you are, and be happy. I work with individuals to remediate any number of issues in their lives, to make decisions, and to manage difficult cognitive or emotional experiences. I work with couples to learn to address conflict, learn new skills, and learn how to live lives together.
I think of counseling as a process where you and I build a relationship and work together to address whatever issues are impacting you. I'm a holistic counselor, meaning that I will help you explore multiple aspects of your life, including how you engage socially, how you think about situations, how you manage or express your emotions, your behaviors and skills, the quality of your interactions with family and friends, and other areas. I believe that we all have untapped resources, both internal and external, that we can use to make our lives better.
In terms of my background, I have worked in non-profit and two private practice environments. I have also served as a faculty member in clinical mental health counseling programs since 2011. I train future generations of counselors to work with people.
I hold several licenses and certifications. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee. I am also a Qualified Supervisor in Florida. I have published several manuscripts, a book on the assessment and treatment of trauma and I have current works in press. conventions.
Would you like to experience freedom from anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts?
I am a LMHC that specializes in helping individuals process the root issues that lead to anxiety and depression with a spiritual and psychological focus. I specialize in trauma and grief counseling.
My focus with each client is to help free you from the challenges that you have experienced in your life.
Are you feeling overwhelmed with life? Anxiety – Stress – Worry? Self critical?
Not wanting to face the day? Feeling sadness, disappointment and trouble focusing?
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have over 10 years working with a variety of people seeking help for anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, grief, and life transitions.
A little bit about my style – My goal is to create a non-judgmental environment, that is safe, and supportive where you will feel heard. My approach is a mosaic of techniques to help people to focus on their strengths, developing skills to manage life challenges and get unstuck. Relocation, grief and loss, relationship struggles, childhood experiences, trauma, codependency, and addiction are sometimes slow to develop or can occur unexpectedly. My style utilizes evidenced based techniques to address thinking patterns and incorporates mindfulness, and media to spark discussion.
“So grateful I found her. Pamela is extremely supportive, especially when I am having hard days. She is very encouraging and has been instrumental in helping me to manage my anxiety.” V.I. 4/27/2022
You DESERVE to Re-SET, To Re-FUEL, To Re-CHARGE. And then TAKE FLIGHT! Since entering the field of therapy I have learned to ascribe to the adage “all behavior has meaning.” Yes, ALL behavior. A deep curiosity for why we all act and think the way we do coupled with my own life’s challenges and experiences has led me to a place of compassion for not only my own life choices but compassion for others. Our thoughts lead to feelings, which leads to action. We are not always proud of our actions. As a woman, mother, wife, and veteran I know all too well the shame that comes with our personal choices and behaviors. I also know there is also a fear of JUDGEMENT when it comes to considering therapy. This is a no-judgement zone and if you are seeking a different feeling and action in your life then you have landed at the right place!

Hi, I’m Kim, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and difficult life transitions. I am trained in EMDR and have a particular interest in helping clients process painful experiences and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. I believe meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, respected, and free from judgment. Together, we can explore how past experiences, loss, relationships, thoughts, and emotions may be affecting your present life while building healthier ways of coping and responding.
I integrate EMDR with evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. My work emphasizes emotional regulation, self-awareness, healthy boundaries, communication, self-compassion, and practical coping skills.
Trauma and grief can affect how we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate everyday life. Loss can also bring complicated emotions, including sadness, guilt, anger, confusion, or a sense of feeling disconnected from yourself or others. I provide space to work through these experiences without pressure to “move on” before you are ready.
I approach this work with careful attention to emotional safety, preparation, stabilization, and readiness. Therapy does not need to be rushed. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you understand what you are carrying, and support you in building greater confidence, resilience, and trust in yourself as you move forward.

Everyone thinks you have it together.
You show up for work. You take care of your family. You handle what needs to be done. Yet underneath it all, you’re exhausted. You find yourself overthinking, worrying about everyone else, feeling disconnected from who you used to be, or wondering why life feels so much harder than it should.
Maybe you’ve spent so much time being strong for everyone else that you’ve forgotten what you need.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
For over 23 years, I’ve helped adults navigate anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the overwhelming pressure of trying to hold everything together. My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. Together, we’ll identify the patterns keeping you stuck, develop effective coping strategies, and help you reconnect with yourself so life feels more manageable and meaningful again.
Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating. Sometimes it begins with one conversation and the decision to stop carrying everything alone.

I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel heard, respected, and supported. I work primarily with adults and specialize in health psychology, using a biopsychosocial perspective to understand the connection between physical health, emotions, and daily life. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches, I provide compassionate, patient-centered care in a collaborative and nonjudgmental environment where clients can build resilience and create meaningful lasting change.
I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can be fully yourself—without judgment, pressure, or having to have it all figured out. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m passionate about helping people make sense of what they’re going through, reconnect with themselves, and create meaningful change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, because you’re not one-size-fits-all. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. I also have a special interest in supporting military members, veterans, and emergency service personnel, whose experiences can come with their own unique challenges.
My work draws from evidence-based approaches, including CBT and trauma-informed practices, but therapy with me is about more than a particular technique. We’ll look at the bigger picture—your experiences, relationships, patterns, values, strengths, and the things that have shaped you. Together, we’ll figure out what’s getting in the way and what can help you move forward. Sometimes you may need practical tools. Sometimes you need space to process. Sometimes you need someone to help you see things from a different perspective. We’ll meet you where you are and work from there. I’m also passionate about working with underserved communities and recognizing the ways culture, systems, and life circumstances can influence mental health and access to care.
My goal isn’t to change who you are. It’s to help you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, feel more grounded, and create a life that feels more like your own. You don’t have to have it all figured out before you start. You just have to be willing to take the first step.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with women ages 18 and older through individual therapy. I strive to create a supportive, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered as you navigate life’s challenges, transitions, and personal growth.
My goal is to meet you where you are, help you better understand yourself and your experiences, and develop tools to navigate challenges while moving forward with greater clarity, balance, self-compassion, and confidence.
You're exhausted, wondering if anyone is going to reach your teenage son with ADHD. I was that kid and found my way through.
Your son is struggling the same way I did. ADHD, too much homework, too little interest, too many people telling him to just try harder. I didn't get real support until the end of high school. Treatment changed the trajectory of my life.
I went from community college to the University of Florida, then to a Master of Social Work from Florida State. My bachelor's was in Education Sciences with a specialization in Educational Psychology, which means I understand how ADHD plays out in a classroom, where so much of your son's pain probably lives. School is hard enough for these kids already, which is why I see clients in the evenings and on weekends. Therapy shouldn't add to what school is already taking from him.
I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the states of Florida, Virginia, Illinois and Massachusetts , with experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore yours thoughts and emotions. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness based techniques. I am passionate about supporting clients through times of change and personal growth.
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.

It can be difficult to find our sense of purpose.You don't have to navigate these challenges alone. As a licensed mental health therapist with over 26 years of experience, I am dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families as they work through life transitions, emotional struggles, and relationship difficulties. I have extensive experience working with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance abuse, and couples dynamics. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded. I feel therapy works best when clients feel safe, respected, and truly heard. I integrate evidence-based therapeutic practices while tailoring each session to the client's unique goal and needs. My wish is to help the client build insight, strengthen resilience, and move toward meaningful change. It is very important for me to provide a supportive, safe and non-judgmental environment to assist clients in feeling comfortable , supported, and free to share at their own pace.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for ten years now. You will always know yourself better than I can or will.
From a philosophical and theoretical standpoint. I am overwhelming more of an attachment theorist, and have been known to use existentialism from time to time to help make sense of something. I guess the question that remains though is; can a butterfly flap it's wings in Brazil and cause a tornado in Kentucky, or are we all simply just products of our childhood and mirrors of our parents traumas?
The duality of life.
Attachment Theory vs. Chaos Theory. Both have value. I digress.
My goal is to provide a petridish in which you can explore your self. Safe. Contained. Yet completely in your control. The paradox being, you likely already have what you need. I'll sit with you while you find it. I can give you my clinical opinion, or diagnosis, and recommendations along the way as well if you'd like that. I can just sit and listen. I can play devils advocate. My job is to listen, empower, observe, and provide feedback when requested.
