Therapists in Florida

Greetings, You may have read through a few profiles, and I owe you to feel the difference with mine. My name is Brahm, well, actually it is Robert Abraham Fay, my parents were hippies, so you can see where that went. Life can be difficult, and I know this first-hand. By the age of 17 I was in a homeless shelter (due to a violent alcoholic stepfather), and I had some people help me along the way. Vocational Rehabilitation helped me get a bike, and I rode to Valencia College for 2 years, was recruited to Rollins College on a grant, and attended grad-school at Troy University. I have taught upon resilience in: China, Russia, Germany, and the US. Here's what's up, of course life is difficult, and the more we run from it the more we suffer. All those years in homeless shelters taught me how to ask for help when necessary. I am a licensed clinician - perhaps trapped in a case manager's body. Counselors can provide a flashlight on all of the nooks & crannies of the past, but as your case manager, we are looking at a spotlight on your future. My job is to get fired. Plain and simple. If you are a member of a marginalized population, including all of my LGBTAQLatin+ Non-Binary, Sis, Pan, Poly & Unlabeled family, I see you and I love you. Let's find your voice, and then you can fire me! YAY!!! (confetti) That's the thrust of my existence, when I text you -- and you say, "Thank you for everything, Brahm, I think I've got this now." See? That's what's up.

We will plant the seeds of the unknown to grow your control over your life! Support, empathy and authenticity will fill the atmosphere while in session. Just know that you are taking the necessary steps to a brighter future. There is nothing wrong with improving yourself through therapy. While planting the seeds of positivity, I will guide you through your personal growth. I can't wait for the opportunity to serve you. Let's Get To Work!

Professionally, I hold dual licenses in Florida as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), allowing me to work with individuals, families, and couples. I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma, and depression, with a deep passion for supporting those who have experienced trauma. I believe healing begins with a strong therapeutic connection, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, valued, and empowered.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida with over ten years of professional experience. I believe that everyone can benefit from counseling. We all have situations and phases of our lives where it's helpful to have a neutral sounding board. We can all benefit from having a person who listens and really hears what we're saying and a place we feel safe to say anything at all without fear of judgment. Whether you are struggling with a long-term problem or you're trying to navigate a new situation, I can provide the space and support you need as we work together toward your goals.

Hi, I'm Jackie, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who truly cares about the people I work with. I feel deeply honored to walk alongside clients as they navigate their mental health journeys.

Hi, my name is Iyana Davidson. I am licensed as LMHC, and a Board-Certified Tele-Health Counselor. I've been successfully providing therapy throughout the State of Florida for over 15 years. My specialties include depression, anxiety, stress related concerns, trauma, and relationship issues. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, faced recent trauma, or have feelings of depression; my services are aimed to introduce coping skills, and self-motivation. Most have asked their self, is counseling for me. If you have ever called a friend or family member in time of need, you will ease right into therapy. My mission is to create a confidential and safe space, while improving the lives of my clients. I strive to provide the best possible therapy by continually updating my knowledge and skills, as new research and techniques in mental health come available.

Reaching out for help can be difficult and the thought of seeing a therapist can seem intimidating. I believe that with the right therapist, you can express yourself freely without fear of judgement and receive the support you need and desire. No two people's journey and life experiences are the same, so I take an individualized approach with my clients. I strive to provide a welcoming environment that will support your unique development of self-awareness, vulnerability, and growth. Together, we will identify your goals for treatment and work towards those in a collaborative process. I value feedback so I can ensure your goals and voice are at the heart of our work. I strive to develop trust between us so you feel comfortable opening up. I utilize values, humor, and compassion so we can build an authentic, therapeutic relationship to make changes. In sessions, I will often bring us back to the present moment to build awareness and identify old patterns of behaviors so we can create new habits.

***Please schedule a consultation before scheduling your intake session. I prefer to have a brief conversation with all potential clients to ensure we are the best fit for working together.*** Have you ever felt like you struggled to work through some of life's challenges but thought it wasn't serious enough to get help? I believe that therapy is helpful not only to work through difficult times, gain a new perspective, identify our strengths, and give us the tools to maintain a healthy mind.

If you have ever felt like this, you may have felt overwhelmed, frustrated, and emotionally stuck.

Hello there! I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience. I have been in the mental health and social services field for 20 years now. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. I have worked with clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, anger management, domestic violence/ abuse, stress management, communication issues, family/ relationship conflicts, gender identity and transition, grief/bereavement, and other life stressors. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Grief Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Therapy is a journey and a team effort. My main goal is to help you recognize that the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself. Together we will work on attaining a better understanding of yourself, your goals, and values (connecting your body, mind, and soul), modifying your beliefs and behaviors, building or enhancing your relationship with others, and achieving your goals. I look forward to starting or continuing this journey with you.

If you grew up feeling unsafe, unseen, or alone, those early experiences may still live quietly inside you. You may move through the world appearing capable and put together, while inside feeling anxious, numb, guarded, or disconnected. These responses are not something to fix—they are signs of how deeply you learned to survive. I work with adults who carry the lasting effects of childhood and family trauma, complex PTSD, and experiences of sexual or physical harm. Many of the people I work with learned early on how to be strong, how to adapt, and how to endure. While those ways of surviving once helped protect you, they can become heavy to carry over time. Our work together is not about pushing, reliving painful memories, or asking more of you than feels possible. It is about slowing down, creating safety, and honoring your nervous system’s need for gentleness. Therapy is a space where you don’t have to explain yourself, perform, or hold it all together. My approach is trauma-informed and guided by care for the nervous system. Together, we listen with compassion to what your body and emotions are asking for. Over time, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, strengthening boundaries, easing anxiety or dissociation, and rebuilding trust in yourself and in others. You are not broken. Nothing about you needs to be fixed. Healing is available to you. You don’t have to do it alone.

I have been practicing for 6 years (1 year case management). I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced some form of trauma. I help my clients develop the skills that they need to process what they have experienced, so they may heal and find peace.

I may have evening or weekend sessions in addition to what is on my schedule. Book a session and then send me a msg if needed.

We may do inner child work, NLP, connect with different 'parts' of you, coaching, and heal past beliefs and emotions relating to trauma and other experiences, including EMDR. I help you listen to body wisdom and see where you may choose to make changes. We will work on changing limiting beliefs and creating confidence and develop new coping skills so you can more easily create the life you want.

Hi there, my name is Marcia S, I am of Caribbean descent. I am a licensed clinician with over 10 yrs. of psychotherapy experience working with adults and adolescents, both military and civilians. Is it hard for you to discover your true potential and live your best life? Are you struggling to keep a balance? As your therapist, I want to play a key role in removing the barriers and stigmas that keep you from addressing the hurt, pain, shame, anger, depression, anxiety etc. you are experiencing. Today you have made the first step to reclaiming your power. My areas of expertise include Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, Adjustment Disorders, Grief, Anger, Stress, Self-esteem, Conflict Resolution, PTSD, and Interpersonal-Relationships Issues through group and/or Individual Therapy. You are one step closer to the empowered YOU. Together we will create that balance you are trying to achieve. My goal is to help you discover the best version of yourself. As a team, we will work together on achieving realistic goals so you can become the best version of yourself. Using approved Evidence Based therapy and self-love we will work to identify your needs and find solutions to create that desired balance in a safe space. My treatment approach is open so you can feel comfortable exploring issues that affect your daily life. In our sessions, I will meet you with compassion so you can grow into your full potential. Remember, you are the expert on YOU! You have the power to rewrite your story. Self-doubt is relentless BUT we are Resilient! Let’s do this together!

As a counselor, I believe that healing begins with understanding — both of ourselves and of the patterns that shape how we live, think, and feel. My approach is person-centered, strength-based, and compassionate. I deeply believe in meeting clients where they are, and I honor the pace at which each person is ready to move. Growth takes time, and every step forward is meaningful. I hold the belief that we each already carry the strength, wisdom, and resilience we need within us — sometimes we just need help uncovering it. By gently shifting away from unhelpful patterns and learning to embrace more empowering ways of thinking and being, we make room for courage, clarity, and transformation. Most importantly, I want clients to know that this deep and necessary inner work doesn't have to be done alone. As a counselor, my goal is to walk alongside you — with honesty, care, and encouragement — as you navigate life’s challenges and rediscover what’s possible for you.

Let me help you find the narrative threads that will assist you in reweaving the fabric of your life.

Welcome! I am Sarah and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified School Counselor in Florida. My 20 years of clinical experience have given me opportunity to work with a diverse population and in various therapeutic settings from Residential treatment, outpatient, to in-home therapy. These experiences have shaped me both personally and professionally. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Although I have had opportunities to help clients work through different needs, I have a wealth of experience particularly working with clients who have experienced trauma, those experiencing anxiety and depression, difficulty with relationships and communication, difficulty managing stress or stressful events, families who are currently going through the adoption process, and helping parents to build healthy, secure attachments to their children. I believe therapists best serve their clients by walking beside them with a strength -based and client- centered approach. Through a strong therapeutic relationship, clients are able to change the way they see themselves, heal from previous or current hurts, and change the way they interact with others. My goal is to partner and collaborate with my clients to identify what goals the client wishes to work on, identify coping strategies that work most effectively for them, and help the client better understand what has caused the current distress they are experiencing. My intention behind this approach is to support and empower clients to continuing to grow far past their final therapy session.

My name is John A. Llauget. I hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and an Educational Specialist Degree in Counseling from University of South Florida. My career in mental health in 1977 working in a psychiatric hospital; and later as a outpatient therapist in a community mental health center working with children, adolescents, families, and adults.

I have used martial training with children & adolescents to develop self-control and self esteem. Later when I began working with an elderly population and clients dealing with physical limitations, I taught Qigong and Mindfulness Meditation as a way to improve their health, well-being, and cope with stress. My therapeutic style centers around getting to know a client, develop trust, and talking more explicitly about issues before making any recommendations. I am a strong advocate of evidence-based treatments and teaching ‘tools’ to cope with stress and emotional difficulties. I have gained training in trauma treatment because we now know that it is prevalent in our life experiences. I value compassion, persistence, and patience in working towards change. I look forward to working with you. I also value your time and want to use it productively in assisting you to reach your therapeutic goals.

Hello, I am Jerry Phillips, a licensed mental health therapist. Welcome to our Grow platform. I'm so thankful you reached out for help. My personal and business motto has been for many years, "Helping People Help Themselves". This is also my goal with each client. I recognize that most people do not need to be fixed. Rather they need to be heard and understood. By listening and attempting to understand, I am often able to help guide people to real solutions for their personal issues. It will be a privilege to assist you exploring the concerns you discuss.

Hello! I am Melany Quintero, Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of experience in the mental health field. I'm bilingual. I have an Master’s in Social Work (MSW) and completed licensure in Clinical Social Work. I bring a strong educational and professional foundation to my work, specializing in treating mood disorders, stress, and anxiety, as well as helping clients navigate life-changing events, grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Hello! You've taken the first step on your journey to a better you. Life can be challenging at times with various stressors, and it's my belief that everyone needs their voice to be heard and emotions validated in an unbiased space. I believe that every individual has the ability for change, regardless of what they have been through. It takes a great deal of courage to take the step forward and seek support and guidance to strengthen your mental and emotional health. I am here to provide you with that safe non-judgmental space needed to express yourself and build on positive change. Let's work together to build a stronger foundation for you.

You deserve to feel well and live your most authentic life. I provide tools to help you embrace a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your coping mechanisms, improve your mood, and thrive with increased daily functioning, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-awareness, and authentic self-expression. When life feels overwhelming, our minds can convince us that we are alone in our daily challenges and during our most difficult times. We get used to handling it on our own. I believe there is a better way. Working with a psychotherapist who can deeply connect with where you are on your healing journey can be transformative. Transformation might look like addressing symptoms, resolving a problem, or seeking something more. By guiding you to deeper insights and clearer understandings, together, we are better able to confront the barriers that may be holding you back from the life you want to live.

Are you feeling stuck, telling yourself that you are going to change, but somehow ending up doing exactly what you promised yourself you wouldn’t do? Do you convince yourself that you are going to move forward and then find that anxiety, hopelessness, harsh self-judgments, or a bad temper take control and push you backwards? Do you find yourself in relationship patterns that leave you feeling cut off from those you long to be close too? If this sounds familiar, you don't have to face this alone. There are reasons you feel this way, and you can discover what those reasons are and how you can change to live a more fulfilling life. You may feel stuck because the way you are trying to solve your problems is by going back to the same strategies that got you stuck in the first place. It can be confusing seeing yourself stuck in thoughts and behaviors you know don’t work. Often this is because in the moment those strategies appear to be the only sensible choice, even when they aren’t. If you choose to work with me, together we can explore the ins and outs of that confusion so that you can find your way out of it. Because that can often feel threatening and disorienting, I will be patient and give you the space and safety needed to do this work at your own pace. Be that fast or slow or in-between. I look forward to working with you.

My name is Oswaldo “Oz” Castro, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience supporting individuals across a wide range of needs and life stages. My passion as a therapist is helping people find hope, healing, and practical tools to move forward. I began my career in neurofeedback, spending 7 years working with children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD, autism, sleep difficulties, anxiety, depression, and other neurodivergent experiences. I later gained 5 years of experience at a drug rehabilitation facility, supporting individuals on their recovery journey from substance use. From there, I spent 2 years at a survivor’s center, helping individuals heal from domestic violence, violent crimes, and grief. During this time, I also worked closely with the LGBTQIA+ community, including facilitating groups for individuals of the trans experience. I also worked for 5 years with children and adolescents transitioning out of a Baker Act and receiving sometimes getting into therapy for the first time, which gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention, family systems, and the importance of providing stability and hope during vulnerable times. Most recently, for the past 3 years, I have been serving clients through the Grow Therapy, where I’ve had the privilege of reaching individuals who previously struggled to access care or find a therapeutic connection locally. This work has strengthened my belief that therapy should be accessible, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique story. If you’re seeking a therapist who will meet you with empathy, understanding, and practical support, I would be honored to work alongside you. Together, we can create a path toward the goals and growth you want for yourself.
