Hi my name is Marchella Carter a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with over 10 yrs of experience in the behavioral health field. I have experience treating co-occuring disorders, mood disorders, anger, anxiety, panic, adjustment disorder, unresolved family issues and trauma.

In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

Sharing your story takes tremendous courage—and I consider it a true privilege to be invited into that space with you. I believe people are layered and complex, shaped by their past, navigating their present, and carrying expectations for their future. Life’s transitions, whether joyful or painful, can leave us feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or stuck—and therapy is a place to slow down, reflect, and discover new ways forward. My approach is collaborative and grounded in respect for who you are as a person. I believe that with the right support, every individual has the capacity to create meaningful change, find relief, and build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. I bring professionalism and ethics to my work, but also warmth, humor, and genuine humanity. What makes my practice unique is the people I serve. I specialize in working with men navigating stress or identity, adults exploring ADHD and neurodivergence, students and professionals facing burnout, creatives and athletes managing performance pressure, and those grieving losses—including the deep bonds we form with pets. I also work closely with teachers, parents, and individuals moving through transitions, from young adulthood to midlife shifts.

I feel very fortunate to have blended cultural values and morals, as this helps me better understand others from different cultures. Are you struggling with crippling guilt and anxiety? Are you caught in a spiral of worry or stress you can’t stop, constantly second-guessing yourself? You feel stuck in the loop of “what ifs”: “what if I fail?”, “what if I lose my job?”, etc. Has owning a business & battling the daily overwhelm of the constant anxious thoughts gotten to be more than you can handle? Are you a first/second gen who is feeling the exhaustion of being the first at everything? You're a tightrope walker, trying to balance others expectations with your own desires. You feel like you’re never “good enough” and are tired of the guilt. Is parenting an overachieving anxious teen leaving you feeling at a complete loss as to how to help them or where to even begin? Hi, I’m Tery, I specialize in anxiety with a special interest/focus in first/ second gen, entrepreneurs, and teens.

Starting therapy can be a difficult process. I make this process as easy for you as possible. Therapy starts with us getting to know each other and for me to understand your needs for treatment.

As a licensed mental health counseling provider in the state of Florida with 8 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, both children and adults, on a wide range of challenges.

Since becoming a counselor, I have worked in a variety of community counseling settings. I have worked with clients from ages 3 through 80 and with individuals, couples, and families. With that breadth of experience, very little shocks or surprises me and I have gotten a pretty good sense of where the types of counseling that play to my strengths as a counselor overlap with the types of counseling that are helpful for my clients. This sense (along with learning about lots and lots of research into what helps people find and maintain mental health) has led to the following guiding principles that shape all the counseling I do: 1) The client is always in charge. I know a lot of things but you will always be the one who decides what you want to get out of counseling, how we work towards that goal, whether or not what we’re doing seems to be working, and when we’re done. 2) Change and health happen through relationships. No matter what you come in for, there are always relational implications of change and relational factors that contribute to whatever it is that you came to counseling to change. 3) Counseling should be efficient. Counseling has significant costs in time and money. I think the benefits far outweigh the costs but if I can give you the benefits while helping you save on the costs then I want to do that.

Are you experiencing frustration, confusion or turmoil in your life? Even to the point where you see no sense of direction while trying to navigate through life? At times, this can be overwhelming for individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, including other mental health disorders. Hi! My name is Stephaney and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with almost a decade of experience in treating adults and adolescents for various mental health challenges and co-occurring diagnoses. I was inspired to become a therapist by my unique experience migrating to the United States at the age of 13 and attending middle school which was very challenging for me. Culture shock became my reality and one that would eventually lead me to “Severe anxiety.” Even with a very strong family support system, I felt alone and trapped by my own inner fears and self-defeating thoughts. Constant worry and fear of being bullied by my peers became my everyday experience. Through all these obstacles, I was able to process my feelings and experiences with my faith in Jesus Christ, supportive family, and a few good friends. To this extent, I have come to recognize the benefits of a strong support system and the need for social and relational connection. As a mental health counselor, I’m privileged to be a part of that support system for many people. I work with my clients to connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and actions, all while providing sound strategies to promote healthier thought processes. I believe that every human being deserves a chance to be heard and understood, and therapy has taught me that as human beings, we are more alike than different. So as your therapist, I’m excited to be a listening ear for you and help guide you toward your goals.

In my private practice, I work with individuals, couples, and families. Treatment is unique for each client and depends on your needs and goals. The philosophy that guides my practice is the unwavering belief that people have a limitless potential to heal and grow. It is my goal to help you recognize and realize your abilities. Positive change occurs through the collaborative therapeutic relationship between therapist and client. Therapy is a unique process for each client. It begins with a comprehensive evaluation during which I learn about you, your situation, and your goals. You also get the chance to learn more about me and get a feel for how we will work together. During the course of therapy, we will continue to evaluate and make changes to your treatment to reflect completed goals and new challenges. Services offered: ​Biofeedback, Depression/Anxiety/Stress, Childhood Abuse and Trauma, Family and Relationship Issues, Grief and Loss, GLBTQ Concerns and Issues, Parenting, Divorce, and Eating Disorders.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience, I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate emotional challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. My work is grounded in a compassionate, client-centered approach that honors each person’s unique story and resilience. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem issues across the lifespan—from pre-teen (over age 11) to older adults. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that impact their mood, behavior, and relationships. To support holistic healing, I integrate mindfulness-based strategies that enhance emotional awareness and regulation, along with trauma-focused care that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment.
