I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I graduated from Florida International University with my undergraduate degree in Psychology, and later earned my graduate degree in Clinical Psychology from Barry University. I have 10 years of experience in substance abuse treatment and the treatment of co-occurring disorders, and nine years of experience in education. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, anger, relationship issues, self-esteem, abuse, and trauma. I also completed an EMDRIA Approved Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Training (EMDR) in 2019. I believe that change happens when people are provided with the guidance and support they need to draw on their own strengths and realize their potential. I provide an environment of compassion and encouragement to help individuals and families overcome obstacles to move forward and lead happy, fulfilling lives.

Going through a change can be very tough and hard to navigate. Whether the changes are good or difficult, they can still be hard to work through. I can help you find a balance with the changes occurring in your life and the peace you hope to feel. Together we can work as a team to locate solutions to find acceptance and work out a plan to help you move forward in your life in a way that brings fulfillment. I use a whole self-approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. Although I can help you work through most changes you might be experiencing, I have many year's experience working with individuals in the Hospice setting, helping patients and survivors find peace during the end of life with dignity. These experiences have been strengthened by my personal journey with breast cancer, which has given me a perspective on the other side. I hope I can use my 30 years' experience as a therapist and my personal experience as a cancer survivor to help you learn how to find happiness and peace in your life.

Hello, I’m Christine Walter—a psychotherapist, certified ICF life coach, and former professional tennis player—offering a unique, results-driven approach to mental health and personal growth. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and couples therapy, helping individuals and partners navigate life’s complexities with greater ease and clarity. My journey from elite athletics to psychotherapy has deeply informed my understanding of stress, immense pressure, and the demands of high-performance environments.

This lived experience allows me to connect with clients who are facing similar challenges—whether in their careers, relationships, or personal lives—with empathy and practical insight. I am trained in Solution-Focused Therapy, an empowering, goal-oriented modality that emphasizes actionable steps and tangible progress. Combined with my certification through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), I bridge the best of therapy and coaching to provide an integrated, transformative experience. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I am passionate about helping clients move beyond feeling stuck—whether in the grip of anxiety, the weight of depression, the challenges of ADHD, or the complexities of intimate relationships. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, create realistic strategies, and foster resilience so you can experience meaningful, lasting change. Therapy with me is more than a place to talk—it’s a place to grow, strengthen, and thrive. I welcome you to reach out and take the first step toward greater emotional clarity, connection, and fulfillment.

Greetings, I am glad you are here today. My name is Grace and I have been a clinical social worker for more then 10 years. I use the pronouns her/she. My clinical experience began in a hospital setting, where I worked with a variety of people (age 5 to 90) with an equally vast range of issues and disorders. Working from a client-centered approach, I utilize many expressive creative art therapies, including zendoodle, zen journal, drawing, painting, clay (and more), alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy practices (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Practices (DBT). Iam always excited to incorporate ecotherapy in a session! I believe that therapy is for anyone who would like to develop new thought patterns, increase their healthy coping skill, discard your old beliefs about themselves, and gain awareness of your internal and external resources.

Are you experiencing challenges that are interfering with your emotional health and wellbeing? Do you feel your past experiences are affecting your ability to reach your full potential? Do you need a safe space to process your thoughts and feelings and engage in self exploration? I am a licensed psychotherapist who believes the most important catalyst for change is the relationship between therapist and client. My goal is to partner with you to reach your desired goals in a therapeutic environment. We will take the necessary steps together to foster positive change while creating individual strategies for self-empowerment. I have been trained in EMDR therapy which is a theory based on the belief that our brains have a natural system for processing information and experiences so that we can keep what we need for wisdom, learning, and growth. Sometimes disturbing experiences overwhelm the processing system, or we don't have the information we need for our brains to make sense of what happened in a healthy way. EMDR uses eye movements and other right-left stimulation to activate your brain's processing system so you can successfully process the experience and let go of what's not useful to you. I believe our past effects our present and future- both in adaptative and maladaptive ways. I would be honored to be a part of your journey to inner peace, self-love, and fulfillment.
