We can have difficulties after experiencing a traumatic event. At times, we can feel numb, depressed or unable to regulate our emotions while navigating through life. For parents, it can be overwhelming for children dealing with behavioral issues and/or emotional problems. You are not alone! Here at Helping Hands, clients experience trauma healing through the word of God. As a trained therapist, I empower my clients by navigating them through their traumas and unpacking the cores of their trauma. I help my clients with tools that they can apply according to the word of God. During this process of assisting my clients, I guide them to receive healing through Christ. My counseling modalities are Christian Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Play therapy. I work with children and adolescents with emotional trauma, PTSD, depression, and oppositional defiant/ behavioral issues. I work with adults (females only) with unresolved childhood trauma, anxiety, narcissism abuse, relationship issues, sexual abuse and depression. I am a Master's Level Licensed Mental Health Counselor with training in Trauma Work.

ONLINE THERAPY FOR WOMEN IN MIDLIFE Your calendar is jampacked. You’re juggling a never-ending checklist, responsibilities, and expectations. You wear multiple hats — as a professional, mother, daughter, partner, and caregiver — while balancing your career, household, and the quiet changes of midlife that no one really warned you about. All of this is becoming too heavy. And now, you’re starting to feel it — emotionally and physically. YOU'RE THE ONE OTHERS RELY ON—at work, at home, and in every role. But lately, you’re feeling anxious and emotionally overwhelmed. Let's reconnect you with the version of yourself that isn’t running on empty. Hi! I’m Gail Gerbig, LMHC and Owner of Seaside Mental Wellness. With nearly 3 decades of experience in medical & mental health settings, I help women, just like you, navigate the quiet (and not-so-quiet) struggles of midlife — including anxiety, emotional burnout, and life transitions. TOO MANY WOMEN feel like they should be able to “handle it all”. The truth? You were never meant to carry so much without support. I created Seaside to provide that space for women to feel SEEN, HEARD, and SUPPORTED — and move forward with practical tools for everyday life. SEASIDE IS FOR WOMEN WHO ARE experiencing anxiety or high stress; navigating life changes like divorce, career changes, retirement, health challenges, or relocation; feeling the toll of perimenopause or menopause; seeking more clarity, confidence, and connection; working on boundaries and sustainable self-care routine; coping with grief or age-related medical changes; or feeling emotionally overloaded by relationships, career, and caregiving. SEASIDE IS NOT FOR WOMEN WHO ARE experiencing severe depression, suicidal thoughts, thoughts of harming themselves, self-harm behaviors, auditory hallucinations, delusions, history of Baker Acts, mood disorders, personality disorders, complex trauma, substance abuse or gambling addictions.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and genuinely supported.

Hi! My name is Jacqueline Lizarazo, and I go by Jackie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in therapy for individuals, children, and couples, with a focus on grief, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and sexual abuse. Why Choose Me: I want you to read the following passages: On Abuse: “I lived in a glass house into which my mother could look at any time. In a glass house, however, you cannot conceal anything without giving yourself away, except by hiding it under the ground. And then you cannot see it yourself, either.” On Depression: “Trees aren’t supposed to display fruit; they’re supposed to produce it. As much as I wanted to see results, I knew that I had to wait. The tree had to become healthy and mature before it could produce the fruit, and that takes time.” If what you read resonates with you, this is the type of therapy I offer. I push, and sometimes might make you cry—not to harm, but for growth. I deeply care about my patients and only want the best for you. I am not judgmental; I am here to listen and provide feedback. I often ask myself the question: if I were sitting where you are, would I come back? And the answer is yes. I give homework, so don’t expect it to be easy unless we need it to be. I am flexible, and my schedule is pretty open to fit your needs. We’re going to have days where we just catch up and talk about what happened that week but be prepared to talk about your past. I believe together we can grow into the person you want to be.

Hello! I'm Dr. Diedre Wade, and I'm honored to walk alongside of you to better your life. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor in Kentucky and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety or self-esteem, and/or self-care. I have a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, so my full-time job is teaching counselors-in-training how to help their own future clients. I also have a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling with over 13 years' experience working in private practice, inpatient behavioral health, residential treatment, Drug Court, and a jail. These different settings have developed me into a compassionate and caring provider who is eager to help! I'm a former competitive bodybuilder, so I know how pressures of sport and goals can lead to perfectionism and anxiety. After trips to Africa, I renamed my practice Acacia Vitality: I got to see some mighty Acacia trees (along with animals who love them)! These trees stand the test of time and survive elephants shaking them as well. Like the acacia tree that thrives in the harshest conditions, true mental toughness and resilience grow strongest through adversity. I was so inspired by this concept that I now center my practice and research around it.

I strive to create an open and safe space for clients to be their authentic self, explore emotions, communication and relationships, and find ways to continue growing within the therapeutic relationship. My theoretical framework values the following core principles: communication and relationships, outward emotional expression, and the importance of seeing a client's physical, emotional, and developmental world through their lens. I focus on solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches, but employ additional options as needed, depending on each client's personal journey towards healing.

I’m Micheal Franklin, and my journey into therapy began in a blue-collar family where my relatives worked in textile mills, battery plants, and furniture factories. Growing up, I aspired to carve a different path, aiming to be the first in my family to earn a college degree. I graduated from Western Piedmont Community College in Drug and Alcohol Technology and earned an Associate in Arts in 1996. I then continued my education at Gardner-Webb University, obtaining my Bachelor’s in Science in Human Services. Recognizing that the job market wouldn’t provide enough financial stability, I joined the Marines in 1998. During my service, I got married and welcomed a baby boy, which motivated me to seek part-time work with troubled adolescents and teens facing addiction issues. After leaving the Marines in 2003, I worked in a group home for adolescents and later became a Prevention Supervisor for adolescent substance use treatment. I also served as the lead treatment therapist for a Men's Intensive Outpatient Program at the Cognitive Connection in Hickory, NC. My passion for helping others led me to teach parenting classes and collaborate with Child Protective Services. I pursued my Master’s degree in Social Work at the University of West Florida while gaining experience in Community Mental Health. I also worked in a drug court program for two years. Since becoming licensed in 2014, I have dedicated my career to supporting clients dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, personality disorders, and life transitions.

EXPERIENCED. AFFORDABLE. EVENINGS & WEEKENDS. VIRTUAL With 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida and Colorado, I have devoted my career to helping individuals strengthen their mental and emotional well-being. My work has spanned a wide range of clients and life circumstances—including WWII Veterans, paralyzed Veterans, caregivers, end-of-life support, members of the Queer community, and individuals navigating depression, anxiety, and both childhood and adult cancers. My approach is client-centered and tailored to each person’s unique story. I believe deeply in the mind–body connection and integrate practices such as meditation, exercise, nutrition, and restorative sleep into therapy. Together, we work toward helping you rise into your strongest, most authentic self. As a secular and liberal therapist, I celebrate diversity and honor individuality. I affirm that love is love, and I provide a safe, supportive environment for clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities. I also have experience working with clients in alternative relationship structures (swinging, polyamory), as well as couples in interracial relationships and blended families. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I am committed to ongoing professional development, including training in psychedelic therapy and integration through the Integrated Psychiatry Institute. My role is to guide clients through challenges, equip them with coping strategies, and support them in creating meaningful, sustainable change. If you are seeking an experienced, compassionate therapist who will meet you where you are, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can build a path of healing, growth, and self-discovery.

Isn't it annoying when we have thoughts that we KNOW are not rational, but our mind says "oh well" and causes us to worry about it anyway? I get how annoying that can be, and I want to help you manage those worries! How about feeling as though you have nothing to look forward to or you can't get rid of that dark cloud hovering over your head? I can help you with that too! Do you still find yourself not being able to move on from that traumatic event you experienced? I am here to help! I offer a very person-centered approach to therapy. I want you to have as much control and say over your treatment as possible. If it's important to you that we talk about it, it's important to me!
