Kissimmee, FL - Accepting clients in FL
You are here hoping to find that therapist who stands out to you because you want to find someone who can help you. The search can be overwhelming for some. Most of the profiles of therapists are going to say similar things. Most of which should be standard like brakes on a car.
I cannot promise I'm the right one for you. Here is what I can tell you about my approach. I believe in being practical which means I will not use a lot of psycho-babble or fancy strategies. I have a tendency to be blunt. My wife says I'm the "bluntest politest man" she has ever met. I'm going to be real with you.
I love couples/marriage counseling, and that is my main focus. However, about half of my clients have always been individuals. Some people just need a place to vent. Others need help solving a problem, and most people need a little of both.
I know therapy might be a little intimidating or even scary to some. Try to think of it as a massage for your brain. It's a place where you can say whatever you want guilt-free.

Are you losing hope with the prospect of a prosperous meaningful future?
Hi! My name is Cassie, and I'm a Christian, faith-based therapist licensed and located in the sunny (and sometimes rainy!) state of Florida. The questions posed above speak to challenges many of us are regularly faced with, but may find it difficult to speak about.

Well, here’s the good news! Therapy with me is conducted within a safe, judgment-free space, where I provide opportunities for you to face those challenges and express those feelings. . I believe in the power of faith to guide healing, and I am honored to walk alongside individuals who desire therapy that aligns with their beliefs.

Lazy Lake, FL - Accepting clients in FL
I work with people who carry wounds from a childhood that looked “normal” on the outside—or was anything but normal behind closed doors. Many of my clients grew up in environments where fear, shame, or confusion were constant, and where the adults around them failed to protect them, or became the ones they needed protection from.
This includes those who experienced emotional neglect, physical or sexual abuse, religious trauma, or who were blamed or disbelieved when they tried to speak up. Often, families protected the abuser, minimized the harm, or made the survivor responsible for keeping the peace.
These early betrayals don’t stay in the past. They shape the nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. You might feel stuck in shame or guilt that doesn’t make sense. You might feel unsafe in your own body, numb or hyperaware, over-responsible in relationships, or like you can’t relax—not even when things are “fine.” Maybe it feels like joy, safety, or real rest are always just out of reach.
I specialize in working with childhood trauma, PTSD, and complex PTSD. In our work together, we won’t just talk about the past—we’ll track how it still lives in you. Using Brainspotting and parts work, we’ll create space for your body and your inner world to tell the truth, at a pace that honors what you’ve been through.
You won’t be asked to “move on,” “forgive,” or explain what should have been obvious. We’ll start with this: what happened to you makes sense. Your symptoms are not the problem—your past is. And healing begins when someone finally helps you hold that truth.

And if faith is important to you, I’m happy to incorporate Christian principles and spiritual guidance into our work—helping you grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. You deserve to live a healthier, more peaceful life and I’d be honored to support you on that path.

Building great relationships is one of the most meaningful aspects of life.
Hello future client!
My name is Ruthie and I'm one of those rare native Floridians. My primary practice approach is relational, using interventions that can help you understand the link between your thoughts, feelings and actions and the effect on your relationships. This will improve your ability to connect with others in ways that will enhance your life. I want to support you to have the loving, fulfilling, respectful relationships you deserve.
In my graduate program, I learned that all human behavior develops in the context of relationships. Family relationships are most significant to individual growth. The importance of healthy relationships in a successful life is often underestimated. The value of independence in our society overshadows our human need for connections. The quality of our family, friends, romantic, work and community connections impact our physical, mental and emotional health. Positive interactions promote feelings of connectedness and a sense of self-worth while negative encounters can lead to increased anxiety, a lack of self-confidence, and may even affect your thinking abilities.
I earned a BA in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences from University of South Florida in 2009 and obtained a Master’s in Social Work from the University of New England in 2016. I proudly became a licensed therapist in 2020, one good thing that occurred during the Covid pandemic.

In the process, my clients have learned to control their thinking, reduce unnecessary stress in their lives, build the satisfying relationships that they are searching for, and learn how to act on real threats and control irrational fears and anxieties.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with degrees in Social Work and Counseling Psychology and a proven track record.

Hi, I’m Eva Chocron, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, bilingual in English and Spanish, and deeply committed to helping you heal your relationships—starting with the one you have with yourself. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and parents who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or disconnected from the life and love they long for.
If you often feel anxious, reactive, or emotionally exhausted—especially in relationships—you’re not alone. Maybe you find yourself pleasing others at your own expense, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling misunderstood and unseen. These patterns usually have deep roots, and together, we’ll gently uncover them.
Through a compassionate and culturally sensitive approach, I’ll help you make sense of your emotions, stop repeating what no longer serves you, and build the emotional clarity, confidence, and connection you deserve. This is more than therapy—it’s a journey of unlearning, healing, and becoming your most authentic self.

When counseling, I look at the whole person not just the current situation. I take time to get to know you and understand your situation and/or concerns. I treat all my clients with the utmost respect and compassion. I use motivational skills to help my patients see their strengths and help them create achievable goals. I believe in breaking the big goal into smaller goals that lead to meeting that larger goal. I believe this creates positive reinforcement for my clients and improves their emotional health, during what could be a difficult time in their life. I look forward to helping you improve your mental health, one step at a time.
I have 6 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictions and co-occurring.

Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck? Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship conflict, a crisis of faith, or identity shifts, therapy can be a powerful place to realign with what matters most.
I'm CJ Backer, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to explore the deeper patterns influencing their emotional lives. Using a systems lens, I help clients understand how family of origin, culture, and spirituality shape how they relate to themselves and others.
Clients often come to me seeking support with anxiety, trauma, faith deconstruction or reconstruction, life transitions, and strained family dynamics. My approach is grounded in presence, curiosity, and collaboration—and draws from evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, and narrative therapy.
Whether you're managing daily stress or healing longstanding wounds, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to reconnect with your values, deepen self-understanding, and create lasting change.

I chose to become a therapist after experiencing a time in my life when I struggled to find a provider I could truly relate to. I understand firsthand how intimidating or even uncomfortable it can feel to take that first step toward starting therapy. But I also know how profoundly rewarding the work you do in therapy can be—it’s a courageous and transformative journey that can lead to deeper self-awareness and lasting growth.
Life’s challenges, whether they involve grief, complex relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, career or life dissatisfaction, life transitions, intimacy, or sexuality, are all valid reasons to seek support. As your therapist, I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can explore these concerns and gain the tools to navigate them with confidence.
Pursuing a deeper understanding of yourself and intentionally working toward a more fulfilling life are among the most empowering steps you can take. Together, we’ll work to help you reach your fullest potential and create a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and true to who you are.
