I’m a licensed therapist who helps individuals heal from anxious attachment, trauma, and relationship challenges so they can build deeper self-trust and healthier connections. I work with clients who often feel stuck in cycles of people-pleasing, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm, and I guide them toward self-awareness, confidence, and alignment with their authentic selves. My approach is warm and empowering, and I integrate evidence-based practices like EMDR to help clients process past experiences, set boundaries, and develop a secure sense of self. My goal is to help you break free from patterns that no longer serve you and create a life that feels grounded, balanced, and fulfilling. In our work together, you’ll learn to move from survival mode to self-acceptance, finding clarity and peace as you step into your power.

Hi, I’m Evelyn! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma-informed therapist, and I provide therapy in both English and Spanish. I know how overwhelming life can feel when you’re facing challenges like anxiety, depression, relational trauma, or infidelity. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering support and tools to help you heal, grow, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. With over 9 years of experience, I work with children, adolescents, and adults, helping them navigate life’s difficult moments. I understand the struggles of mental health not only through my professional training but also through my own personal experiences. These experiences allow me to connect with empathy and compassion, offering guidance that feels both professional and deeply human. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where you can explore your challenges at your own pace. Together, we focus on building confidence in communication, setting healthy boundaries, and shifting unhelpful thought patterns. I also use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can be powerful tools for managing anxiety, processing trauma, and promoting emotional healing.

Hi there, I'm Lorrie. I'm so glad you are reaching out for help. That's a huge first step, and often the hardest part of your journey to health and happiness. I work with trauma, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and relationship issues. If you are dealing with difficult emotions and can't seem to stop worrying about the future or ruminating about the past, I can help! My approach to therapy is holistic, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. In our first session you can expect to learn more about somatic therapies, and other mind-body bridging practices. By the end of the session you will have some tools you can start using right away. We will work together to identify your goals for therapy and create a treatment plan just for you. I specialize in treatments that get you grounded, with a sense of safety, acceptance of what is, and curiosity and excitement about what could be! Before I became a therapist, I was a yoga and mindfulness educator for 30+ years. I bring my expertise in mindfulness, meditation and breath work into every session treating mind, body and spirit. What ever your mental health challenge, I'm here to help. Seeking out, and then showing up for therapy can be hard, but you are making the right choice! We'll work together using evidence-based techniques that are proven to help you manage your struggles and heal your trauma. I hope we connect soon and get you started on a path to healing and happiness right away. Just one other thing... I require all of my clients to have their cameras on during all sessions. Its a safety thing.... and I appreciate your understanding.

It is time to invest yourself! The first step to changing our circumstances is acknowledging something isn’t working. The process of change takes courage. My approach in counseling is to create an encouraging environment which my clients can find the strength to make those first steps into the unknown. I graduated from Palm Beach Atlantic University with a bachelors degree in science of psychology and a minor in communication. I then went on to receive a Masters degree in counseling from Webster University. After my education I went on to gain clinical experience in many different areas over the next 18 years including, but not limited to inpatient psychiatric facilities, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, group therapy, marriage and family counseling, individual counseling, and substance abuse counseling. Licensed in the state of FLorida (MH10911) as a mental health counselor, I aim to provide quality care. I specialize in couples counseling, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, mens issues, family therapy, job stress, interpersonal issues, child therapy, and most other conditions. I look forward to assisting you on you journey to wellness! Below is a link to my book, "8 solutions for wining the war of you vs you" https://a.co/d/2hOjUOt

Hello, my name is Justine Nyman. I want to thank you for taking the time to seek support. It is not easy to reach out or even realize that counseling/support is needed. So, I welcome you to therapy. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I have 10 years' experience and continue to grow in my therapeutic approaches and my knowledge as a therapist. I create an environment where the client feels comfortable and open to emotional vulnerability. In order to express ourselves and be open with our struggles we need to feel comfortable in the therapeutic process. I use acceptance with my clients and don't judge them based on their history or their current choices. I want the client to feel that they can start their journey, set goals, use coping skills, and improve their overall well-being. Counseling is a process and takes time. Some individuals require more time than others and that is okay. I believe in moving with the pace of the client, through setting goals and practicing tools is essential for change. In order to feel change, we need to make changes in our everyday lives. If we don't initiate changes, it becomes a struggle to move forward. "Practice makes permanent" I look forward to working with you on your journey of growth, mastery, and success.

My goal is to help individuals any way that I can and I would love to be the catalyst to help you reach your full potential. My specialties include depression, anxiety, trauma, aggression, and relationships-family and couples. Finances should never be a barrier to treatment. Call today and see if an arrangement can be worked out that can meet your needs.

There are times in all of our lives when we experience challenging emotional situations. When these situations arrive we can benefit from the support of a person outside of our inner circle. Whether you are struggling with an crisis or change in your life, or even if you are just feeling mildly upset, it can take a toll on your life. Everyone can benefit from psychotherapy. No problem is too minor, severe, or unusual to be explored and healed. I approach my clients with care so that together we can built a plan that will help them achieve their goals.
