You’ve achieved a lot—but lately, it feels like something is holding you back. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by emotions you can’t explain, or quietly carrying a weight from your past that no longer fits the life you’re building. High-functioning doesn’t always mean fulfilled—and you’re ready to change that. I help ambitious, self-aware individuals break free from emotional blocks, old narratives, and burnout cycles. Whether you feel stuck in overthinking, disconnected from your joy, or like you’re constantly pushing but never arriving, our work together will get to the root of it. We’ll release what no longer serves you, recalibrate your inner compass, and build the mindset and habits that align with the life you actually want to live. Think: deeper self-trust, emotional clarity, and the confidence to show up fully—no more shrinking, no more autopilot. You’re not here to settle. You’re here to evolve. Let’s unlock the version of you that’s been waiting on the other side of this growth.

These experiences gave me the opportunity to work with adults, adolescents, children and families in both individual and group settings. I value and approach each individual therapeutic relationship fully and empathize with the different spectrum of emotions that a Client may experience during the course of treatment. I firmly believe each individual has the ability and strength to overcome their struggles, but that sometimes having additional support in the form of therapy can assist one to better identify and recognize the skills, strategies and strengths they already possess. It takes courage to make the first steps towards a healthier and happier life and I would be honored to assist you in your process. Remember you are only human!

I have worked in an outpatient setting over the last seven years assisting individuals to improve positive view of self, learn new coping skills, reframe negative thinking patterns, and reach even the smallest of goals. I bring my authentic, genuine self into therapy and provide a comfortable space for you to feel heard and seen. Clients have shared feeling more at ease about coming to therapy due to "not feeling judged" and having someone they feel truly cares about their well-being and progress. I can relate to the hesitation and nervousness that arises when talking to a complete stranger in therapy; the right fit has made a difference in my personal experiences with therapy.

Welcome! I am Carolyne Cole, a marriage and family counselor. I specialize in marriage and family therapy. I also work with young adults and seniors who are bravely taking steps toward bringing positive change into their lives. My approach to therapy is pretty eclectic. I use principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy will help you shut down unhelpful distortions about yourself and provide personal coping strategies that will support problem-solving in your life. Narrative Therapy will help you identify your values and skills so that you can use them to confront current and future challenges. I also offer spiritual counseling if you are seeking to explore or solidify your spiritual beliefs. I am also a Certified Grief Therapist. I began my calling in mental health following my retirement from a 35 year career in education. I am a published author and I hold a master’s degree in American Studies, and I have earned the distinguished National Board Certification in English Education. I have taught in public and private schools, community colleges, and universities in both Florida and Eastern Europe. All these experiences have widened my understanding and make it easier to relate to a variety of people and cultures. It also makes it easy for me to connect with you. I am a native Floridian, married for 44 years to a former University of South Florida professor, so I understand what it means to live life and overcome challenges in the Sunshine State. My heart is to support you wherever you are on your journey, ease your worries about the future, and give you practical tools to heal.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Since 2012, I have worked with a variety of clients dealing with circumstances that are unique to their lives. Life can be complicated and having someone in your corner can ease fears and worries while allowing for growth and healing. My passion as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor is working with individuals and couples who have experienced trauma and difficult times. As a wife, mom, grandmother, and dog mom, I also enjoy assisting family and friends in reaching their goals. I will be here to encourage you, support you and validate you. I know making the decision to come to therapy can be difficult, scary and leave you feeling vulnerable but taking that first step is the key to unlocking the door towards becoming your best self. You are the true expert of yourself and often just need additional encouragement to identify and explore areas that are no longer working.  Vulnerability, shame, and guilt can prevent you from seeking the help and support you need to find solace in your head, heart and life. I am a daughter of Veteran and wife of a fire fighter. I know personally the stigmas and stressors that come along with seeking treatment. I have a deep understanding and love of the firefighting, EMT, and paramedic communities. Break those chains that keep you from seeking, happiness, forgiveness, healing, and serenity. One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Having a good grasp of the very real issues with which first responders must face and handle on a daily basis I will help you navigate the issues and memories that haunt you and find real, lasting solutions for long term healing. I promise I won't bite, but I am a loud Bostonian haha!  Allow me to walk and guide you on your path to uncovering and rediscovering who you are and what you already know but struggling to see.

Thank you for taking the first step to feeling better about yourself and your life, or the life of someone who you care about, in looking for a competent and experienced therapist. My name is James Neeck. I am hoping that I can be the person who supplies the help and support that you or your loved one needs, as you or they engage in the change effort. I have over 20 years of experience in working with adolescents, young adults, children, and adults. Additionally, I have experience in working with first responders (police, fire, emergency medical personnel); members of the military, and veterans. As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide my clients with the most competent and professional services that I can offer them. I recognize the importance of the therapeutic relationship, in partnering with my clients in the change effort. Whether the issue is: trauma, anxiety, depression, social anxiety, relationship issues, or other emotional or mental health concern, my focus is to develop a plan with my client and to work toward the goals that they want or need to achieve in therapy. I consider being able to aid my clients in being where they want or need to be in their lives, both an honor and a privilege.

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) woman, a proud veteran, and someone who knows what it’s like to carry invisible weight. I became a mental health counselor because I believe in real conversations, trust built over time, and having a space where you don’t have to hide what you’re feeling. People who work with me often say they feel like they can finally exhale. I bring calm, compassion, and honesty into the room. I’m not here to judge or tell you how to live your life. I’m here to walk beside you as you figure things out—whether that’s making sense of the past, dealing with hard relationships, or just trying to feel more like yourself again. I’ve worked with people who didn’t even realize how much they were holding in until they had someone to talk to. I know that reaching out can feel scary or uncomfortable. That’s okay. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start. You don’t need to call what you’re feeling “trauma” or “anxiety” if that doesn’t feel right to you. All you need is the sense that something needs to shift—and the willingness to take that first step. Outside of work, I’m grounded by my own healing practices, community, and culture. I value humor, kindness, and realness. You don’t have to show up as anyone but yourself. If you’re reading this and wondering if things could be different—you’re not alone. And you don’t have to go through it alone.

Hi! I'm Femina Patel, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe that the best way to empower individuals is through counseling. I specialize in providing counseling services to individuals and families. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I have much experience in helping individuals improve their mental health. I have worked within many community mental health agency settings and am familiar with clients that have a range of diagnoses from anxiety/depression to SPMI(Serious and persistent mental illness). I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients to share their thoughts and feelings so they can discover their strengths and learn the skills necessary to overcome their challenges. With my help, you can achieve the mental and emotional well-being you need to reach your goals and lead a happy and fulfilling life. ***If you are seeking services for a minor a consultation with me is required to move forward with an intake appointment.***

Hi, my name is Analilia but you can call me Ana. Are you struggling with anxieties over major life changes.? Have you thought of doing therapy in the past but stopped yourself? Seeking a therapist can be a daunting task and it can be difficult finding the right fit. The connection between therapist and client is so important to help create a safe place to share thoughts and emotions. My goal is to make the safe connection and walk with you on your journey of self-discovery and healing. I understand the vulnerability it takes to drop the mask or perfectionism and just be who you really are. I also understand the freedom it brings when we get to finally do it. I work with my client to help them find their unique voice and to heal their past wounds to help them gain insight and self-awareness. My approach to therapy is tailored to a style which best suites you. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Experiential therapy, EMDR and Person-Centered approach. I support my clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues,, trauma experiences, substance use issues and codependency. I focus on helping my clients feel empowered to live the life they want, to feel free to make decisions that make them happy and to learn to love and honor themselves. If you feel I may be the right fit for you please contact me. I offer therapy services in English and Spanish, in person and/or via telehealth.

Hi, thanks for stopping by! The founding principles I have based my professional practice on are: empathy, respect, non-judgement and self-awareness. Very well acquainted personally and professionally with Anxiety, I have developed a specialty in this area. My approach to Anxiety and Mental Health in general, is one of "working with" rather than "fighting against". I have found it effective to start therapy by focusing on where the client is at on any given moment, and together working our way to where the client wants to be. My therapy style is Solution-focused, with emphasis on Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, also informed by Systems Theory, Humanistic and Psychodynamic concepts. I have always been fascinated with the study of the human mind, especially the unconscious, and the impact personal perspective has on the circumstances we experience.

Hi there, I'm Lorrie. I'm so glad you are reaching out for help. That's a huge first step, and often the hardest part of your journey to health and happiness. I work with trauma, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and relationship issues. If you are dealing with difficult emotions and can't seem to stop worrying about the future or ruminating about the past, I can help! My approach to therapy is holistic, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. In our first session you can expect to learn more about somatic therapies, and other mind-body bridging practices. By the end of the session you will have some tools you can start using right away. We will work together to identify your goals for therapy and create a treatment plan just for you. I specialize in treatments that get you grounded, with a sense of safety, acceptance of what is, and curiosity and excitement about what could be! Before I became a therapist, I was a yoga and mindfulness educator for 30+ years. I bring my expertise in mindfulness, meditation and breath work into every session treating mind, body and spirit. What ever your mental health challenge, I'm here to help. Seeking out, and then showing up for therapy can be hard, but you are making the right choice! We'll work together using evidence-based techniques that are proven to help you manage your struggles and heal your trauma. I hope we connect soon and get you started on a path to healing and happiness right away. Just one other thing... I require all of my clients to have their cameras on during all sessions. Its a safety thing.... and I appreciate your understanding.
