To others it may seem like you've got it all together, but on the inside you're spinning out of control. Panic randomly punches you in the chest, taking your breath away, and you can't focus on anything else other than how to make it stop. You are consumed by trying to keep up with everyone else since they seem to have it all together, but you can barely function through the day. You feel like an awful mom because you are lashing out on your kids and hating the daily monotony instead of "embracing the joy of motherhood." You feel like you are failing your partner because somewhere along this journey you just lost yourself.
You want to be a better mom to your kids. And remember why you fell in love with your partner. And stop the tornado of anxiety that knocks you out on the regular. You want to stop living by the expectations of others and rediscover who you truly are. It's time to win back some peace of mind and self-worth and attract the life you want.
I have the DBT and mindfulness skills, which uses both mind and body exercises that will help you manage the crippling anxiety, love yourself better, be a more present and joyful mom, improve your relationships, and attract the life you want.

Starting therapy can feel empowering, confusing, or even intimidating—and it’s worth taking a moment to recognize the courage it takes to take this first step toward caring for your mental health. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment where you can explore challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-care, and more. My goal is to help you strengthen communication and boundaries with yourself and others so that you can improve your quality of life and move toward the future you envision. Therapy is not just about overcoming obstacles—it’s also about personal growth. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and identify strategies to help you move toward them, whether that means change over the next month, six months, or a year. You’ll leave our sessions with practical insights and “next steps” you can put into action right away. I believe life’s purpose isn’t simply to be happy, but to find meaning—and within that meaning, joy emerges. While the journey isn’t always easy, it can be transformative. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Addictions Professional, Internationally Certified Drug Counselor, and Behavior Analyst. I take a strength-based approach, helping you use your unique abilities to address challenges. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to empower you in creating lasting change. Most importantly, I bring a relaxed, compassionate, and trustworthy presence, fostering a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe and supported.

Hi, and welcome. I’m really glad you’re here.
Taking the first step toward healing isn’t always easy, and the fact that you’re exploring support says a lot about your strength. Life can throw unexpected challenges our way, and sometimes those challenges make even the day‑to‑day feel overwhelming.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker and qualified supervisor in the state of Florida. Since 2014, I’ve worked as a medical social worker in transplant, dialysis, and with individuals managing complex chronic and behavioral health needs. These experiences have taught me the importance of meeting people exactly where they are and honoring their lived experience.
If you’re looking for a provider who will work with you to clarify your goals and create meaningful change, I invite you to schedule an initial consultation.

No topic is off limits, and I can promise a safe space to explore all facets of your experience.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. I moved to Florida from Nashville but have roots in Mississippi and Virginia. I graduated from the University of Phoenix in April of 2014 with a Bachelors of Science in Health Administration. I used that degree to enroll at Capella University where I earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in March of 2021. My passion for counseling started when I was very young. In my teenage years I participated in groups that worked to prevent teen suicide. This interest eventually worked its way into my adult life as a career in the mental health field.
My first position after graduating with my Masters was assisting individuals whose substance abuse lead to involvement in the criminal justice system. Building on that, I also have experience with Veterans' issues, grief and loss, eating disorders, LGBTQ+, relationships, depression, anxiety, social fears and many other mental health diagnoses.
I don’t believe that there is a one size fits all approach to an individual’s mental health. I use a wide range of techniques to best help my clients to achieve the goals they set forth during their time in treatment by developing strategies and coping skills to achieve optimal mental health.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with six years of experience who believes that healing begins with connection. My approach is grounded in authenticity and the cultivation of a genuine therapeutic relationship.
I enjoy supporting individuals who are navigating life transitions, experiencing emotional overwhelm, or seeking a deeper connection with themselves, others, or their purpose. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or simply ready for change. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your inner strengths.
My person-centered approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused techniques to support sustainable, meaningful growth. I see therapy not as a process of “fixing,” but as one of deep understanding, alignment, and empowerment.
My style is direct but compassionate. The impact I aim to leave is more than symptom relief; it’s about helping you build resilience, clarity, and confidence that lasts beyond our sessions. I hope that you leave each conversation feeling more grounded, more seen, and more capable of creating the life you want.

Are you struggling with the pressures of life? Perhaps you compare yourself to others and wonder how they make it all look so easy and those perfect picture images on social media don't help. Perhaps you’ve had no motivation, no energy, or feel overwhelmed lately. You’ve found yourself struggling with feeling "stuck", self-doubt or lack of self-confidence. As far as anyone can tell, you’ve got a great life. But on the inside, you don't feel good enough; perhaps you struggle with past hurts, toxic relationships, never-ending thoughts, or the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re falling short.
Imagine how it would feel to feel more confident without guilt or shame. Imagine enjoying a deeper connection with others with less conflict. Ready to step away from past hurts & quiet the inner critic so that you can feel excited & unafraid of new things? I collaborate with individuals to transform their stories.
It is important to feel safe, so my style is down-to-earth, empathetic & infused with humor when appropriate. I can also incorporate Christian faith for clients who so desire. I offer LIMITED WEEKNIGHTS & no weekends appointments. Interested in getting started? Send me an email to get started.

My goal is to provide a safe space where clients can process trauma, explore challenges, and build the skills they need to live more fully. I offer psychotherapy, therapeutic assessments, and specialized interventions designed to meet each client’s unique needs.

Together, we can build on your existing strengths and experiences to create meaningful change and improve your quality

As an athlete, a family man, and a man of faith, I understand the challenges with adjusting to change associated with leaving a sport or career, you love, before you believe your time is up. I understand what it feels like to develop a bond and the challenges with sustaining such bonds. I also understand seeking growth spiritually when there’s so much temptation and triggers that seem to pull me away for my goals. With that, these experiences are what hopefully keep me humble, motivated, and grateful.

Hi there! Welcome to my practice.
What would your life look like if anxiety, stress, or self-doubt no longer held you back? Do you find yourself overthinking, worrying about everything, or feeling emotionally drained? Life can feel challenging at times, and therapy can be a meaningful place to begin navigating those challenges with support.
You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. You don't have to have everything figured out to deserve support, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for a change, therapy can be a place where you can finally focus on you.
I believe healing and growth happen one step at a time. Together, we can work toward celebrating the small wins, because those moments often lead to the biggest growth.
I support individuals experiencing concerns related to anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and personal growth. I bring a compassionate and culturally informed approach to therapy and welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
My goal is to create a safe, affirming, and collaborative space where you feel respected, understood, and empowered to work toward your personal goals. Together, we can explore the challenges you're facing, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward meaningful and lasting change.
I look forward to meeting you and navigating life's challenges together, one step at a time.

Greetings, I'm Sonya
There are times when we all experience a loss of our sense of self. You may feel like you’re on a journey but aren’t quite sure which turn to take next. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, confused, sad, angry—or simply “blah.” You may have great friends, watch self-help TikToks, and try to figure things out on your own, yet still find yourself not feeling okay or unsure of where to turn.
I bring a calm, accepting, and relatable presence to therapy, which allows me to build meaningful connections with my clients. I provide a judgment-free environment centered on calmness, peace, and support, where you can feel comfortable being yourself, expressing your thoughts and emotions, and knowing that you are heard.
Together, we will explore and process the experiences, thoughts, and situations that may be impacting your emotional well-being and daily life. My goal is to empower you to develop practical strategies, strengthen your coping skills, and gain greater confidence in navigating life’s challenges.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. Sometimes, you simply need a safe place to start. I look forward to walking alongside you as you work toward greater clarity, balance, and a more peaceful resolution.

Welcome—I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for support takes courage, and my goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered from the very beginning. I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity, and respect, creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are. I am a trauma-informed mental health counselor who works with adolescents (13+), adults, military personnel, and families. I support clients navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I believe every person carries a unique story shaped by lived experiences, strengths, culture, and resilience. Therapy is not about fixing what’s “wrong,” but about understanding what you’ve been through and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that deserve care and healing.
My therapeutic style is warm and grounding, while also structured and intentional. I draw from person- centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and evidence-based trauma modalities to help you build emotional regulation skills, deepen self-awareness, and move toward meaningful change. We work together at a pace that honors your comfort and capacity, focusing on what’s working, what’s hurting, and what may need to shift. You don’t have to figure everything out alone. Therapy can be a powerful space to process, grow, and reclaim your voice. If you feel we may be a good fit, I would be honored to support you on your healing journey.

Hi everyone! 👋
My name is Lea Rojas Otero, and I am originally from Puerto Rico. I recently relocated to Florida after spending the past 9 years in Massachusetts, where I provided mental health and substance use counseling services in outpatient settings.
I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling from Kairos University and a Master of Science in Health Sciences with a concentration in Substance Abuse Counseling from Universidad Central del Caribe in PR. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC-I) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC-II) in Massachusetts, as well as a Certified Master's Level Addiction Professional (MCAP), Internationally Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor (ICADC), and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-I).
My practice focuses on providing telehealth psychotherapy to adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use concerns, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I utilize an integrative, evidence-based approach grounded primarily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while incorporating Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care. My goal is to create a compassionate, collaborative environment where clients feel supported while working toward meaningful and lasting change.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor from Puerto Rico based in Orlando, Florida, who blends warmth with structure to help you make real, measurable progress. I primarily work with Hispanic families, supporting parents, partners, and teens to untangle intergenerational patterns, navigate acculturation stressors, strengthen communication, and rebuild secure attachment while honoring culture, values, and family bonds. My style is active and evidence-based: expect a mix of DBT and solution-focused tools for quick wins, emotionally focused and attachment-informed work to get to the root, motivational interviewing to strengthen follow-through, and mindfulness skills to steady your nervous system. The clients often tell me they appreciate that I validate deep feelings without losing sight of action, and that I’m direct while still being kind. I bring a longstanding passion for psychology and a strong sense of fairness; that shows up as advocacy for your needs, thoughtful attention to context and culture, and a steady focus on rebuilding self-trust. I especially enjoy working with women, helping professionals, and busy parents who want both a safe space and a clear plan. When you’re ready, you can book a session directly from this profile.

I identify as a proud Hispanic from the Dominican Republic, a Christian woman who was born in the U.S .
While I lived in the Dominican Republic for some years, this experience allowed me to gain bicultural experience, which helped me connect authentically with diverse communities.
I have 8 years experience working with individuals who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, and relationship issues.
I am committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment where you can explore personal challenges and achieve mental health goals. I employ different therapy approaches based on your needs. Together, we will identify and change unhelpful thoughts, develop self-regulation skills, and navigate difficult relationships and situations. You will also learn how to process difficult memories, feel safe, regain control, and move forward in your life. If desired, I can also incorporate faith-based techniques to support your healing process.

Hi, I’m Brooke, a licensed therapist who helps adults find relief from anxiety, heal from trauma, and navigate the transitions that life inevitably brings. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative . I want you to feel comfortable, understood, and supported from the very beginning.
I primarily draw from CBT, ACT, and EMDR, but I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I get to know you as a person so that we can tailor therapy to what works best for you. Clients often describe me as “calming,” and I think that reflects the kind of space I try to create : one where you can let your guard down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to move toward real change.
I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to suffer and I believe that no one should have to stay stuck in pain or face it alone.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
