Hi, are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in depression, or carrying the weight of past trauma? You may look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside it feels exhausting. I work with adult clients (18+) to help them understand their emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and feel more in control of their lives. Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach, we’ll move at your pace to create meaningful, lasting change. I help adults and couples navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Together, we identify patterns that keep you stuck, build healthier coping skills, and improve emotional regulation and communication. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to help you feel more in control and create lasting change. Your story, your pace, your goals, therapy is tailored to you. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what’s been weighing on you, build insight, and move toward healing. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to support you when you’re ready to take the next step.

Hello, my name is Deidre. I work with individuals and couples experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, grief and loss, substance use, and relationship challenges. Common concerns include racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, low motivation, decreased interest in activities, intrusive thoughts or memories related to trauma, and ongoing relationship distress. I have over 8 years of experience in the mental health field providing therapeutic support across a range of clinical presentations. My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and evidence-based, with a focus on improving emotional regulation, insight, and overall functioning. I strive to create a supportive, structured environment where clients feel safe to explore challenges and work toward meaningful change.

We all struggle to get through life. Sometimes it feels like we are sinking instead of swimming and there is no one around to help you keep your head above water. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy more of life and decrease your stress and frustrations? I enjoy helping people who want to succeed in making their life meaningful and fulfilling while decreasing their emotional dysregulation, stress, and feeling overwhelmed with life. I provide the space you need to share your concerns and struggles and work with you to overcome your obstacles.

First time in therapy? Or ready to make a real change? It can feel uncomfortable opening up to someone new—but you don’t have to have it all figured out to start. I work with teens, young adults, and millennials—especially men and people of color—who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, and past experiences that may still be impacting them. I focus on creating a space that feels real, supportive, and easy to step into, while helping you better understand yourself, your needs, and build the clarity and confidence to move forward.

I'm so glad you're here. I am Dr. Marckdaline St. Fort, LCSW and specialize in loss, human connection, and emotional healing. With two decades of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping men and women rediscover the power of their voices as they navigate the pain of abortion, miscarriage, loss of self, and conflict or loss within relationships and marriage. You, too, have that power within you. Having personally experienced the impact of loss and the beauty of healing, I understand how shame, guilt, and embarrassment can prevent individuals from recognizing their innate strength and capacity to overcome life’s most difficult moments. Through compassion, insight, and empowerment, I help others move toward healing, restoration, and renewed purpose.

I'm so excited you're here! I'm a counselor and advocate with over 20 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families. I bring extensive knowledge and compassion to my practice. I've worked in foster and adoptive case management, served military families, and helped couples, individuals, and families navigate life's challenges. I also have over 10 years of experience in private practice. I specialize in treating depression, attention deficit disorders, anxiety, adjustment disorders, stress, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I also have expertise in working with foster and adoptive families and military families.

Hello! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I hold a PhD in Human Services with a focus on supporting individuals and communities. It’s very common to feel emotionally exhausted when you’ve been carrying a lot for a long time. You may be struggling with anxiety that never fully shuts off, low mood that’s hard to explain, unresolved trauma, or difficulties with focus, motivation, or relationships. You deserve kindness and support as you take things one step at a time. My expertise includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, and stress-related concerns. I also have experience supporting individuals in high-stress roles, including first responders.

Overwhelmed? Trouble saying "no" to people? Do you sometimes feel like you're making decisions based on other people's opinions/wants/needs/expectations over your own? Are your feelings and needs getting neglected? Or maybe talking about feelings is just really difficult for you, as it is for most people. It's common to avoid communication all together because it just feels like conflict. I am an openly a queer person, running a private practice since 2021, but practicing therapy full-time since 2018. I focus on trauma work, anxiety, shame, identity exploration, and boundaries/setting limits! When I say trauma work, sometimes people always assume the most extreme - but with all clients I find it beneficial to reflect on impactful or very painful past experiences and how it shapes our relationships and present-day life. I can offer you a better understanding and education of your body's nervous system, because the mind and body are connected, and trauma is held within our bodies. My goal is to work with you on improving self-awareness, understanding your automatic reactions, and having direct coping tools based on your specific experiences and mental health symptoms, so you can enjoy the present and feel more free and in control. I’ll help you identify your unmet needs and your emotions, and practice better communication and conflict-resolution often, too. However as educational, direct, and action-oriented I try to be, I also work from a place of compassion. Therapy is very vulnerable! I am ultimately giving you the space and time to get any current worries off your mind, and I try to always work from a place of patience, empathy, and flexibility, too. I've been in the client's chair many times, and I know exactly how important it is to feel free to talk without being judged.

Motherhood will change everything you thought you knew about yourself. I'm Amanda, a licensed mental health counselor specializing in matrescence, the identity work of becoming a mother. I work with women in pregnancy, postpartum, and the years that follow, when the woman who walked in no longer fits and you are not quite sure who is emerging. My clients are often high-functioning on the outside and quietly exhausted on the inside. They are tired of surface-level coping skills and ready to do the deeper work. I bring years of clinical experience, a background in executive healthcare leadership, and specialized training in perinatal mental health and EMDR. I also provide affirming, safe care for members of the gender expansive community. If you are willing to be honest, even when it is uncomfortable, we will do really good work together.

Hello, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) in Florida. I obtained my Masters from Florida International University (FIU) and my Bachelors from Florida State University. I've been helping individuals and families for 14 years, and can help you restore or create your best life. If you'd like to regain footing but don't know where to start, let's work together you don't have to do it alone.

Hello! My name is Ray Castiglia. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have a masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. I have worked in the counseling field for more than 20 years. I enjoy helping others to navigate through their life stressor, and to become more happy, successful, and positive.

I believe meaningful change comes from understanding not only what we do, but why we do it. My practice is grounded primarily in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which focuses on identifying the deeper emotional, relational, and unconscious patterns that shape how we experience ourselves, others, and the world. Many of the struggles people face today, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, addiction, and recurring life patterns, often have roots in earlier experiences that continue to influence present-day thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we work to understand these patterns so they no longer have to dictate your life. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, I aim to help clients develop greater emotional insight, strengthen their capacity to regulate difficult emotions, improve relationships, and build a more cohesive and authentic sense of self. I believe lasting psychological change occurs when we understand the underlying dynamics that drive our reactions instead of simply learning to manage them. While psychodynamic therapy serves as the foundation of my work, I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when it is clinically appropriate. CBT can provide practical strategies for challenging unhelpful thinking patterns, reducing symptoms, and building healthier behavioral habits while complementing the deeper exploratory work of psychodynamic therapy. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that is thoughtful, collaborative, and emotionally attuned. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, personality difficulties, relationship concerns, or simply feel stuck in repeating the same patterns, therapy provides an opportunity to better understand yourself, develop greater resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Hi, I’m Ashelea, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should be a space where you can show up as your full, authentic self—without fear of judgment. I work with individuals ( children, teens, young adults, adults and older adults), couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and those seasons when you simply feel stuck or overwhelmed. My approach is warm, honest, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you better understand yourself, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical tools to move forward. I’m compassionate when you need support and willing to gently challenge you when growth requires it. Whether you’re trying to heal from something that happened years ago, navigate something happening right now, or simply become more intentional about the life you want, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. We’ll work together, one step at a time.

My name is Corina Forte, and I am a bilingual mental health counselor providing therapy in both English and Spanish. For the past 15 years, I have supported adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, major life transitions, mood concerns, and the impact of serious illness. Many of the people I work with are capable, caring, and accustomed to holding everything together for others, yet feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of what they need. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, better understand the patterns shaping your emotions and relationships, and begin responding to life with greater clarity and intention. My approach is warm, collaborative, and honest. I strive to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel genuinely understood, while also offering thoughtful guidance and gentle challenge when it may help them move forward. I believe therapy should provide both deeper self-understanding and practical tools that can be applied in everyday life. I tailor my work to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw from evidence-based, trauma-informed, cognitive behavioral, existential, Gestalt, mindfulness-based, and expressive approaches, depending on each client’s needs and goals. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, develop a healthier relationship with your emotions, make choices that reflect who you are, and create meaningful changes that feel sustainable beyond the therapy room.

Hi, I’m Marissa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience supporting individuals as they work toward balance, clarity, and confidence in their lives. I believe therapy should feel safe, genuine, and judgment-free a space where you can show up as you are and feel truly heard. My approach is collaborative and personalized. Together, we’ll explore what’s working, what feels stuck, and what changes will help you move forward in a way that feels aligned with your goals. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or self-esteem concerns, I’ll support you in building insight, resilience, and a stronger sense of purpose. Clients often share that sessions feel natural and comfortable like talking with someone who truly understands. That sense of connection is where meaningful growth begins and serves as the foundation for our work together. Your next chapter starts here one step, one session, one insight at a time. I value consistency in therapy, especially early on, as it helps build a strong foundation for meaningful progress. I typically recommend starting with weekly sessions for the first 6–8 weeks, and then we can reassess whether biweekly sessions are appropriate based on your needs and goals.

I’m Rachel, a therapist passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with compassion, humor, and practical tools. I specialize in working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship struggles.

Together, we’ll help you start to feel less stuck and more empowered to navigate life's challenges.

​Our lives are full of obstacles that can prevent us from living life to its fullest. Some obstacles we seem to bring upon ourselves, while others are thrust upon us. Overcoming these obstacles can be difficult and sometimes painful. I offer a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic setting. Together, we explore the specific challenges you are facing which impede your ability to live life to its fullest. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic interventions.

Life can become overwhelming when anxiety, depression, past trauma, relationship struggles, or shame begin to affect your peace, confidence, and hope. You do not have to face these challenges alone. Finding the right therapist can be the first step toward meaningful change. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina specializing in trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, shame, and relationship challenges with adults. For those who desire it, I offer Christian faith integration as part of the counseling process. I understand the importance faith can have in providing strength, identity, and healing. I also welcome clients who prefer a traditional clinical approach, and our work together will always be guided by your personal values and goals. A significant focus of my practice is helping men who feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, burdened by shame, or affected by past experiences, relationship wounds, or trauma.

My counseling style is practical, structured, and compassionate. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and other therapeutic methods to help clients manage anxiety, process difficult experiences, change unhealthy patterns, and build skills for long-term growth.

I am a License Mental Health Counselor in New York and Florida that works with marital counseling clients and those experiencing relationship issues and who are struggling with their sense of self confidence. My ideal client is someone who is committed to the process of self-introspection and wants to be held accountable to reach their goals. I specialize in counseling women and men on self-esteem, worth & actualization. I also support clients affected by bullying, narcissistic abuse as well as those dealing with complicated grief. As your therapist, I will assist you in discovering or uncovering yourself. This might mean realizing some difficult truths about your personality and behavior patterns, tapping into your strengths, and identifying what coping skills work for you. Or, it might mean working through emotional pain, trauma, or barriers that prevent you from being your best self. In my years of experience, I have found that once a person’s authentic identity has been discovered through therapy, clients can accept who they are, confidently speak up for themselves and understand themselves with greater perspective. Usually this leads to healthier relationship choices and dynamics. I will help you to learn more about yourself and make realistic changes.

Hello, my name is Takiyah Thomas Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida with 5 years of experience.

Because many times our maladaptive responses to our mental health symptoms form habits that require motivation and practice to unlearn. I will be there every step of the way to encourage you to keep moving forward. You got this, but it's nice to have your own personal cheerleader encouraging you and believing in you.

My name is Noel Hartough and I am a person with a lot of lived experience with anxiety (spiritual and career). Anxiety and the success I had through work I did in therapy led to me becoming a therapist. I grew up around gray area drinking, family squabbles and being the introspective kid at the lunch table. I happen to be a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I work with adolescents during the day and adults in the evenings. I believe that we are largely the result of our beliefs.

Hello and welcome, Have you wondered where the person you were has gone because of the anxiety and stress of a busy life, relationship issues, grief, stage of life issues, career challenges, etc?

Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from Valdosta State University. I was born and raised in Nebraska but have made Georgia my home, and I truly love it here. I became a therapist because I genuinely care about people and believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate, meaningful support. I know that reaching out for help is not always easy, and I want you to know that taking that step says a lot about your strength and your commitment to yourself. My goal is to make sure that from the moment you connect with me, you feel welcome, heard, and comfortable. I am an animal lover through and through, and that love has found a natural home in my clinical practice. I incorporate pet therapy into my work with clients, and I have seen firsthand the incredible impact that a furry friend can have on even the most difficult days. Whether it helps break the ice, ease anxiety, or simply bring a moment of joy into a hard season, it is one of my favorite tools to offer. Outside of my passion for animals, I am deeply committed to doing work that matters. I show up for my clients with honesty, warmth, and a whole lot of heart. I believe in meeting people where they are, walking alongside them through the hard stuff, and celebrating the wins along the way — big and small.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida, Oregon, Kansas (LSCSW), New Hampshire, and Texas. I received my Master's degree from Louisiana State University and have been practicing for 9 years. I help adults find ways to heal their anxiety and depression, help them become more self-aware, and to stop negative thinking, so they can become the best versions of themselves. I help adults ages 18+ struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, suicidal ideations, self-harm, grief/loss, and life transitions. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities such as CBT, CPT, DBT, ACT, Interpersonal, Narrative, Supportive, Compassionate, Grief, and various others depending on your needs. I help clients stay in the present moment (utilizing other techniques) as this can be very difficult to do in our busy lives today. I became a social worker because I want to help people feel better about themselves and their lives. I no longer wanted to be "just an employee" and work for a large organization. I wanted to use my strengths and abilities to help others because it would be challenging and rewarding. Therapy is a form of "self-care", and we will work together as a team to address your specific challenges, goals, and needs. I am dedicated, passionate, and caring. I also conduct emotional support animal evaluations in Florida, Texas, New Hampshire, Kansas, and Oregon. If you would like more information about me or getting an emotional support animal evaluation completed, please visit my website at instillinghopepsychotherapy.com.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or patterns that are hard to break, especially when stress, grief, or addiction has started affecting your relationships, emotions, or daily life.

I provide a supportive space where you can better understand what you’re carrying, begin untangling what’s keeping you stuck, and move toward greater clarity, stability, and emotional balance.

Together, we’ll build skills, strengthen resilience, and create a clearer path forward. When you’re ready, I’m here to help.
