Welcome, and thank you for visiting my profile. Do you ever feel stuck, hopeless, or weighed down by past experiences that still cause pain? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, or feelings of not being “good enough”? You don’t have to carry these challenges alone. In therapy, my role is to walk alongside you—helping you process difficult experiences, explore new perspectives, strengthen your inner resources, and build healthier boundaries. Together, we can work toward both your short-term relief and your long-term growth. I have over 9 years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, supporting individuals through trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, anger management, self-worth challenges, parenting struggles, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your needs. I primarily use person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical-behavioral therapies, and I also integrate EMDR for trauma, anxiety, and phobias. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create positive changes in your life.

Hi, I am a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on identity transformation! I work with those who feel the achievements are there, yet still feels misaligned in what you do versus who you truly are. This identity crisis shows up in subtle ways - the anxiety that greets you before meetings, the exhaustion from maintaining the "strong Black woman" image, the longing for relationships where you can finally be real. I want you to know that transformation is possible. That having more alignment and authenticity in the way you show up is possible. In our work together, we'll move beyond just understanding why you code-switch or people-please and help your system find its way back to your truth using Internal Family Systems therapy. Imagine walking into any room fully grounded in who you are. Picture making decisions from your core self, not from old wounds. It's time to transform your relationship with yourself - to heal those outdated identities and create a life that truly feels like yours.

Motherhood is a profound journey marked by both beauty and upheaval. Whether your path to this moment has been long-anticipated or unexpected, the transition into motherhood often brings a whirlwind of emotions. Anxiety and depression during pregnancy and the postpartum period are more common than many realize, with maternal depression being the leading complication of childbirth. The shift from your pre-motherhood identity to caring for a newborn can be one of the toughest transitions you’ll ever experience. As a dedicated mental health professional, I am passionate about supporting individuals through some of life's most significant and challenging transitions. I offer various approaches, including talk therapy, art therapy, mindfulness and meditation practices, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). These methods are designed to help you express your feelings, redefine your identity, and find a sense of balance and well-being in this new chapter of your life.

Sometimes people experience emotional problems (e.g., anxiety, depression), behavioral problems (e.g., overeating, smoking), or relationship problems (e.g., excessive arguing, poor communication) that interfere with their daily functioning. These difficulties result from the interaction of biological, learning, behavioral, and environmental factors, which influence patterns of thinking and behaving. Negative life events can contribute to the development of self-defeating patterns of thinking and behaving, which some people can have difficulty changing. In my work, which I have been practicing for 42 years, I help people identify these self-defeating patterns and develop strategies for dealing with them. I emphasize the importance of practicing these strategies consistently, with the goal of handling emotions more effectively and behaving in more responsible and healthy ways. I focus on life pattern changes with respect to relationships, depression, anxiety, anger control, impulse control, and stress management.

Hi, thank you for checking my profile. Have you been feeling like your life is out of control, struggling with your career, personal life and social life? Do you feel no one understands you? As a therapist, my goal is to help you walk through the difficult situations you are experiencing and help you gain the necessary strengths to achieve the change that you are looking for. This might sound easy, but this can be a challenging path to your healing. This journey is different for everyone, so my approach will be unique to your needs, learning style, and comfort level. I have worked with adults, adolescents, and children. I have experience working with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and interpersonal conflicts. I know how difficult it is to find a good and knowledgeable therapist. Please, do not hesitate to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to help you decide if I am the right therapist for you. I graduated from Nova Southeastern University. I am fluent in English and Spanish.

Hi I’m CJ a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) that focus' on working with individuals, couples, and families who aren’t just looking to feel better they’re looking for something real. Not peace that comes from avoiding conflict, but the kind that comes from being fully seen, heard, and understood even in the mess. Most of us develop habits and defenses to get through life. Some serve us, others start to block us. My job is to help you see the difference, get curious about where they come from, and decide which ones you’re ready to let go of. We live in a world that rewards performance and discourages authenticity. This work is about slowing down, cutting through the noise, and reconnecting with what matters so you can live in alignment with who you really are, not who you've been told to be.

Hi there I'm Jodi. I specialize in short-term cognitive behavioral therapy. I provide supportive, safe and non-judgmental environment assisting individuals who are suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship struggles and family issues. I consider myself to be the narcist whisperer. I can assist you with dealing with the difficult people in your life by setting boundaries, saying no assertively and conflict de-escalation. My background is in CBT cognitive behavioral therapy, changing the way you think changes the way you feel and changes your behavior while building self-esteem and self-efficacy. Staring the process of therapy can be frightening. I will be there with you all the way to help you achieve your goals.
