Hello there! I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience. I have been in the mental health and social services field for 20 years now. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. I have worked with clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, anger management, domestic violence/ abuse, stress management, communication issues, family/ relationship conflicts, gender identity and transition, grief/bereavement, and other life stressors. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Grief Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Therapy is a journey and a team effort. My main goal is to help you recognize that the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself. Together we will work on attaining a better understanding of yourself, your goals, and values (connecting your body, mind, and soul), modifying your beliefs and behaviors, building or enhancing your relationship with others, and achieving your goals. I look forward to starting or continuing this journey with you.

* I am never enough and somehow always too much.* * I have always felt like the black sheep of the family.* Does this sound familiar? From the outside, you look like you have it all together, but on the inside it feels like a completely different story. You may feel worn down by constant worries and sadness, overwhelmed, or on edge. You might not even remember a time when things felt easier. But one thing is clear: you are ready for relief. You are ready to feel calm. You are ready to feel grounded and at peace with yourself. Most of all, you are ready to rediscover your true, confident self. Let's move past the outside noise and focus on real change.

Hi, I’m James Salas, a Board Certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience helping adults, veterans, and professionals navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Having served 24 years in the military, I understand the impact of high-stress environments, burnout, and unresolved trauma — and I specialize in helping clients find clarity, calm, and renewed purpose.

Are you struggling with anxiety, daily stressors, or day-to-day routine? I will help you overcome a range of needs including career, daily stressors, anxiety, codependency, and/or compassion fatigue using a person-centered and strengths-based approach. I specify in helping women and work to empower women of all ages and stages of life. We will work together to build coping skills and will create and establish goals to complete during therapy. Everyone's growth and development will be different and the outcome will be based on each individual. Whether new or returning to therapy it takes great strength to begin and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Hi there, my name is Dr. Amera. Are you overwhelmed? Stuck in a rut? Struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I am here with the sole purpose of helping you identify ways you can best manage anxiety and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I believe mindfulness, self-care and yoga are effective tools to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

My therapy style is warm and interactive, and I enjoy building rapport with clients over time. I believe the greatest feeling is when a client knows it's time to transition out of therapy and feels equipped to do so after our time together. I am a compassionate and collaborative therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate challenges and build fulfilling lives. My approach is warm and interactive, focusing on empowering clients with practical tools and coping strategies. Together, we’ll create a personalized path toward your goals and lasting well-being.

In therapy, I counsel individuals, families, couples, and children. No matter how trivial an issue may seem, everyone has issues in life. If it is causing you emotional pain, that is a good reason to seek out help. I understand everyone has a different journey in their lives and I would like to assist you in your path to self-discovery and healing. Your issues may be stress, loneliness, sadness, frustration, or concern for a loved one. You are not alone and I am ready to help you explore strategies to help you improve your life. Each session is provided in a warm and compassionate environment. I will ask you some questions so I can understand which issues you want to focus on. Therapy is a process of learning and the rewards are great. You will develop parts of yourself that you did not know existed. This will help you to become a better parent, partner, and best friend to yourself and your loved ones. Are you ready to take that step of self-discovery to become the best version of yourself? I want to guide you in your path to self-discovery, happiness, and peace. I have been counseling clients for over 24 years and I work with all populations. My counseling modalities include Cognitive behavioral therapy, Solution-focused, and Person-Centered therapy. When I counsel children, I use all of these in addition to Play therapy. Many of the therapeutic issues we work together on are Self-esteem, relationships, communication, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, Social skills, and grief. I am a licensed therapist and have a Masters Degree in counseling. I have spent many years counseling children, adolescents, and adults. Although therapy may look different with each population, the process is equally meaningful in all sessions.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. I received my Masters from Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine at Nova Southeastern University with a Masters in Family Therapy. I have been practicing for 4 years and work with a wide range of individuals.

Hi, my name is Xiomara Mendoza, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I work with adults and teenagers, supporting them through challenges such as anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach combines CBT, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR and TF-CBT, which allows me to tailor treatment to each client's needs. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can build coping skills, heal from difficult experiences, and discover healthier ways of moving forward.

If you are struggling, I’d like to offer a safe space where honesty and authenticity are values and encouraged. You don't need to waste time worrying about stigmas or perceptions, because seeing a therapist doesn't mean that anything is inherently wrong with you or that you don't have the capacity to solve your own problems. Family and friends can be incredible sources of support, but they often can feel compelled to "fix" the problems we discuss with them which can lead to us not wanting to burden them and, in turn, just holding on to things. I can offer an objective take, totally free from any judgment or expectations. Let's talk!

Hi, I’m Amy—a therapist and lifelong learner passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with curiosity and compassion. For over 20 years, I’ve supported tweens, teens, and adults in school-based and clinical settings. My approach is rooted in listening deeply, building trust, and engaging creatively in problem-solving. Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm presence, sense of humor, and ability to make difficult conversations feel approachable. In therapy, I believe growth happens through honest connection and collaboration. Whether we are exploring stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or transitions, I aim to create a supportive space where you can gain insight, discover strengths, and build confidence in your ability to move forward.

I bring my own journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery into every session, walking alongside clients as they navigate trauma, transitions, and identity shifts. With a specialty in perinatal and postpartum mental health and as an advanced hypnotherapist, I integrate somatic practices, guided meditation, breathwork, shadow work, and reflective exercises. Therapy with me is experiential and relational a space where you are seen, supported, and empowered to reconnect with your authentic self, process your emotions, and cultivate resilience, clarity, and self-compassion. My work is rooted in the belief that healing is not just about understanding your story it’s about embodying it, reclaiming your power, and stepping fully into your life.

I am a Seminary trained clinical therapist. I am also a combat veteran and have experience serving in ministry overseas. I have a prior career before becoming a therapist, working about 12 years overseas.

I have successfully worked with adults from many backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and religious faiths. I have experience treating clients struggling with a wide variety of mental health conditions and stressors including, but not limited to, anxiety/PTSD, and depression. I am trained in many clinical skills such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, and EFT to name a few. My ministry experience and training allow me to integrate faith easily into therapy whenever clients believe it will be most beneficial.

Hi. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. I received my Masters from the University of West Florida and have been practicing for 18 years. I provide a safe space for clients to work through complex thoughts and feelings. I love Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it helps clients to recognize distortions in thinking that are creating problems so they can reevaluate them in the light of reality. I also love Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices, and helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on the problems.

Hi, I’m Kristina. I’m a licensed therapist who takes a relational, trauma-informed approach to healing. My work integrates evidence-based practices—including CBT and mindfulness-based strategies—with thoughtful insight to help clients move out of survival mode and into greater self-trust and stability. I believe therapy should be both practical and transformative. Our sessions are a space to slow down, untangle patterns, and build tools that create meaningful change in your everyday life. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, or relationship challenges, we’ll work collaboratively to understand what’s shaped your story and develop new ways of responding with clarity and confidence. Clients often describe my style as warm, grounded, and direct. I bring compassion and humor into the room while also offering honest feedback and actionable strategies. You can expect to feel supported — and gently challenged — in ways that foster growth. My goal is to help you feel more at home within yourself and empowered to build a life aligned with your values, not your past pain.

My name is Andrew Penn (he/him) — a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor in Florida. You might be feeling lost, burnt out, or disconnected from who you are. Maybe you’ve tried to make changes but keep getting pulled back by stress, self-doubt, or habits that no longer serve you. I’m here to meet you where you are — with empathy, curiosity, and respect — and help you move toward the life you want. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating — and that’s okay. You don’t have to do it alone. Reach out today to schedule a time that works for you. Let’s start building a path toward the life you deserve.

As a trauma-informed therapist licensed in Florida and Texas, I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges with compassion, clarity, and purpose. My work focuses on supporting clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or the lingering effects of trauma, guiding them toward healing and growth in a safe, nonjudgmental space. My approach is collaborative and empowering. I view you as the expert on your own life, and therapy is a space to reconnect with your strengths and values. Whether you are healing from past trauma, working to strengthen your relationship, or striving to find balance amid stress and uncertainty, I will meet you where you are with empathy and respect. Clients who work with me often describe feeling more empowered, confident, and grounded with an improved ability to manage emotions, communicate effectively, and live with greater intention. My goal is to help you move toward a more meaningful, fulfilling life where you can thrive rather than cope.

Everyone thinks you have it together. You show up for work. You take care of your family. You handle what needs to be done. Yet underneath it all, you’re exhausted. You find yourself overthinking, worrying about everyone else, feeling disconnected from who you used to be, or wondering why life feels so much harder than it should. Maybe you’ve spent so much time being strong for everyone else that you’ve forgotten what you need. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. For over 23 years, I’ve helped adults navigate anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the overwhelming pressure of trying to hold everything together. My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. Together, we’ll identify the patterns keeping you stuck, develop effective coping strategies, and help you reconnect with yourself so life feels more manageable and meaningful again. Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating. Sometimes it begins with one conversation and the decision to stop carrying everything alone.

Hey! I am Renata. If you are here, you are probably contemplating change. My favorite quote is "tradition is the enemy of progress." There will not be sustained change without addressing potential problems in the way we have traditionally approached our circumstances. If you are open to stepping outside of traditional patterns, you may be ready for a journey of change.

I am currently accepting new clients for individual sessions via teletherapy. I have been practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida for the past 23 years and am also a Licensed Therapist in Virginia, largely with a focus in the areas of depression, anxiety, thought disturbance, addiction, emotion regulation, relationship distress, and self-esteem. I feel many of the responses we struggle with are connected to a traumatic event (or perceived trauma) from the past. Currently, my primary focus has been in the individual realm, with a focus on relationship growth. I will encourage you to prioritize the areas you wish to address in therapy and tailor my approach on an individual basis. I believe in client autonomy so the areas that are addressed are the areas you want to address. I draw on several treatment modalities (including, but not limited to, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to allow you to further develop your strengths and help you meet all of your treatment plan goals at a speed that works best for you. I also have completed training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as the Developmental Model for Couples and integrate both of these approaches into my relational therapy practice.

Something feels off, but you can't quite name it. Maybe you're anxious, burnt out, or just going through the motions — doing everything "right" and still feeling disconnected. I work with people who are ready to slow down, get honest with themselves, and figure out who they actually are beneath all the noise. I'm Shauna — a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Yoga Teacher with over a decade of experience in behavioral health. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and somatic practices, because I believe real healing happens in the body as much as the mind. Sessions are virtual, so you can do this work from wherever feels most comfortable. I'm also drawn to the deeper questions — the ones about meaning, identity, and what you're really here to do. If you've ever felt like conventional therapy doesn't quite hold all of you, my holistic approach makes room for that — spiritually curious people feel at home here.

We can all too easily get stuck in a rut and can use a little nudge to get us out and moving again. I'm glad you have taken the first step in seeking help.

I accomplish this goal by openly and without judgement, meeting the client where they are. My approach includes principles from multiple theorists, each having their own benefits dependent on the issues that are being faced. Our focus will be on the present, the here and now. When necessary as part of developing better understanding, we will look at past events and triggers for how they have informed the present, but we are in the present. We will work collaboratively to better understand current problems, we'll set realistic goals for progress and develop skills necessary to not only overcome current issues but face future concerns as well. My areas of practice include working with blended families, intimacy issues, infertility/adoption decisions, grief and loss, stages of life, as well as compassion fatigue/care giver issues along with anxiety, stress, and depression. You've taken the important first steps in this journey to a healthier you. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you but ultimately whether you choose to work with me or another counselor I hope you are able to gain a better understanding of yourself and create brighter future. Best wishes, Mike

I treat therapy like you are driving a car, you choose the direction and speed while I act as GPS and help guide the path.

***Now accepting new clients. A lifelong student of human behavior, I completed a Bachelor's degree in Pychology in 1993, and a Master's of Counseling Psychology degree in 2004. Through the years I have studied areas like vagus nerve impact on health outcomes, trauma resolution, meditation and mindfulness practices and the effects of nature and sound on phisiology. I am an integrative practitioner, using a multi modal orientation to understand you as a complete being. I draw from Attachment theory, Family Systems theory and Adverse Childhood Experiences research to identify early life challenges. I find the Gottman method and Cognitive Behavioral Couples Therapy useful with many couples who want to attend sessions together, and more exploratory frameworks such as Humanistic and Transpersonal theories useful for solo growth and development. In session I have a collaborative style that is informed by both intuition and 3 decades of studying various evidence based approaches. We will identify your strengths, your concerns, your interests and goals and then make a plan. After defining the areas of your life you wish to work on, I will accompany you on your path toward your highest and most healthy self as a guide and resource for support when it is growth oriented. We will stop where you choose to stop, whether it is with the immediate problem/s resolution or continuing into a more complex and transformational understanding of Self, and where that may lead you.

My name is McKinsey Kemp, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I earned my Master’s degree from California State University, San Bernardino, and have seven years of professional experience in the field, including one year in case management. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced various forms of trauma. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, focusing on helping individuals build the skills they need to process their experiences, foster resilience, and move toward healing. My goal is to support each client in finding a sense of peace, empowerment, and renewed well-being.

I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist in Florida, Texas, and Utah with over 17+ years of professional work experience. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma professional (CCTP) with experience in helping clients with PTSD, C-PTSD, coping with addictions, LGBTQ+ related issues, relationship issues, and family conflicts. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life's challenges, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful change. I believe that healing begins with genuine human connection. I show up in my therapeutic sessions not just as a clinician, but as a real person - someone who values honesty, warmth, and the courage it takes to face life's challenges. My work is grounded in authenticity because I know that people heal best when they are truly seen , heard, and accepted without judgment.
