Warm, unconditionally accepting, positively energetic, and professional—these are the qualities a counselor who once saved my life possessed, and they are the qualities I bring with conviction to my practice. Life is a journey, and I want to help you continue building a happy and peaceful path. From the moment we begin our first session, my goal is to create a warm and nurturing atmosphere that fosters growth. I employ an integrated approach to therapy, utilizing CBT, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, and person-centered therapy.

I believe people do well if they can. Together, we will identify your strengths and build the skills and internal & external resources necessary to help you overcome your struggles and navigate the complexities of life. Through a variety of therapeutic techniques, including EMDR, IFS, ACT, CBT, and DBT, we will tailor a treatment plan to meet your specific needs & goals.

I began my work in the field in 2007 and have been fully licensed since 2017. I consider myself to be an exceptionally empathetic and caring counselor who meets my clients where they're at. I will push my clients to experience emotions and to sit with them in ways they haven't before. However, I do this in a safe manner where we simply expand the limits each time and create safety in each session to fully allow the client to embrace the process. I strive to help my clients make sense of their life and the experiences they've had. I have great respect for each individual's journey and understand there is value in all of us. I strive for all of my clients to feel seen, heard, respected, accepted, and not judged. From the very first session, my clients feel heard through my exceptional empathic listening skills. I ask evocative questions to get to the heart of the matter and to push the client to think more in depth and perhaps even with a different perspective about struggles or experiences that have caused them strife.

Hi, I’m Glen Cognac, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. I specialize in helping adults who are struggling with addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. For years I’ve worked across different levels of care, from PHP and IOP to outpatient treatment, which has given me a unique perspective on what clients truly need at different stages of recovery and healing. My approach is neuroscience-informed and evidence-based. I draw from EMDR, CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients not only understand what is happening in their lives, but also why. By looking at how the brain and body respond to stress, trauma, and cravings, I help people build practical tools that make lasting change possible. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, nonjudgmental space where you don’t just talk about your struggles, but also discover strengths you may not have realized you had. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, ashamed, or afraid of repeating old patterns; and together we create a new way forward. If you’re looking for a therapist who will listen with compassion, offer clarity, and give you tools that actually work in daily life, I’d be honored to support you.

I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida.

My clients are people who want to move from feeling "stuck" to having a greater sense of purpose, empowerment and clarity. My approach to counseling uses a relational model that creates a safe environment where I encourage my clients to develop resiliency and self-empowerment. Life is very hard. My goal is to have each person leave a session feeling more capable to handle whatever life throws at them.

Hi, I’m Kelly. I became a therapist because I wanted to go deeper than symptom management and help people truly heal.

I believe compassion is the gateway to real change. My style is warm, grounded, and deeply attuned. You won’t find judgment or quick fixes here. You’ll find someone who shows up fully with you, helps you make sense of your inner world, and supports you as you heal patterns that once felt unchangeable.
