Hello, my name is Luiza and I am the owner/therapist of FIT MIND counseling services. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in FL and a Licensed Professional Counselor in DC, GA & VA. I am from Brazil, and I speak Portuguese as well :) FIT MIND counseling services enjoys empowering clients finding a more meaningful way to live their lives and assisting them learning about the importance of self-love. Helping clients to focus on themselves and on their self-care is a precious thing. When they learn to embrace and unconditionally love for being themselves, they become stronger in the face of negativity and more able to hold onto positive thoughts when faced with challenges. Mental illness is as real as any physical illness. We talk normally about cancer and diabetes, although the same should apply to mental illness. Emotional and mental health are just as important as the physical health of a human being. The emotional trauma that a brain endures in various of the human life cycle can be damaging and in the long run, just as detrimental as a psychical illness. People donate their organs, but they cannot donate their brains. Some people live with human-made hearts, but there is no such thing as human-made brains. I believe that our brain is the most important organ in our human body, so why don’t we start taking good care of it? Therapy is not only for people with mental illness. Therapy is for everyone. We all have faced or currently face some hardships in life. Talking to a therapist can help you deeply in improving your mental health, decrease your stress and live with more joy and intention!

Hello, my name is David Ramey, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I specialize in providing mental health support, counseling, and guidance to individuals, families, and communities. With a strong foundation in clinical training and a passion for helping others, I work to empower clients through evidence-based practices, empathy, and personalized care. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions.

I became a therapist because I know firsthand that treatment works. I also know what it feels like to carry crippling anxiety, to feel weighed down by trauma we don’t fully understand, to blame ourselves for feeling depressed, and to wonder if we’ll ever find a way forward. Those struggles have shaped me, and they’ve given me a deep passion for helping others find hope, healing, and strength in their own stories. I believe that to truly understand ourselves in the present, we need to explore the experiences that shaped us and how they continue to influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In therapy, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can express yourself openly, process what you’ve been through, and begin to see yourself with greater clarity and compassion. The clients who thrive in my care are those who are ready to grow—willing to unravel the complexities of their past, strengthen their voice, and step into a deeper sense of pride in who they are becoming. If you’re feeling stuck but still holding on to even a spark of hope, therapy can help you nurture it into something brighter. You don’t have to walk this path alone—I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Hi there, I am Charly. As a clinical therapist, I admire your willingness to seek therapy support. I want to offer understanding, and empathic emotional support to assist anyone experiencing emotional distress. Most people tend to suffer silently in their heads, or minds, due to conscious or subconscious, self-blame, shame, or guilt feelings as they seem to feel helpless. Individuals experiencing acute emotional distress due to mental health conditions often fail to realize that unresolved, deep internal pain or heartache is silently triggering their emotional distress. One school of talk therapy called, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), proposes that the lack of the capacity for "Psychological Flexibility" and our brain's default, or Survival Mode functioning the instinctual responses of "Flight or Flight," as required for human survival. As, your therapist, I am willing to support you in exploring your difficulty or distress and examine the mental barriers or psychological blinders causing you to feel internally conflicted and stuck. Some of my past and current clients tell me that "my ability to relate to them with an open mind and withholding personal judgment and a solution-focused perspective," helps them to feel at ease and connect with me and my style of therapy. I follow an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from academic learning, experiential knowledge, and over 30 years of practicing experience using evidence-based treatment modalities based on scientific literature and up-to-date neuroscience research. I have training and experience in the following major treatment modalities such as CBT, REBT, SFBT, ACT, Mindfulness, and specifically to deal with trauma, a newer form of Rapid Eye Movement Therapy (Accelerated Resolution Therapy).

Hey, for the past 14 years I have been helping people of all ages and in various communities work through their life struggles. I am a Licenses Clinical Social Worker and Mental Health Therapist to help individuals, families, and adolescents learn how to deal with different things that affect their life. I am open-minded and non-judgmental want want people to feel comfortable sharing their struggles.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in depression, quick to anger, or frustrated in your relationships — you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with feel like something just isn’t working, but they can’t quite explain why. Often, these struggles come from early experiences where emotions were ignored, dismissed, or too much for the adults around us to handle. As children, we learn fast: if expressing emotions doesn’t feel safe or accepted, we push them down. Over time, that emotional disconnection can turn into anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or anger that feels hard to control. My work focuses on helping you understand where these patterns come from and how to shift them. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety that won’t quiet down, depression that feels heavy, anger that shows up too fast, or relationship challenges that keep repeating — we’ll work together to untangle the deeper story and build healthier ways of coping, connecting, and feeling. This isn’t just about managing symptoms — it’s about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been shut down for too long.

Hello, My name is Oshena, but many call me Shena. I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I have over 5 years of mental health experience. My experience consists of working in case management, hospice - bereavement- grief counseling, dialysis, mental health field, inpatient psychiatric facility, outpatient mental health services, mobile response crisis counselor, group therapy, adolescent therapy, and substance use counselor. I am deeply passionate about working with a wide range of individuals, including young adults, older adults, older teens, and adults, to help them navigate the everyday challenges that life presents. These challenges often manifest as societal pressures and the need to conform, which can result in lower self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. My approach is rooted in harnessing an individual's identified strengths and empowering them to overcome life's hurdles. These obstacles may include anxiety, depression, grief, self-doubt, anger management, boundary-setting, communication issues in relationships, burnout, and the challenges of transitioning into adulthood. My favorite metaphor is based on a rubber band. "Like people, rubber bands come in different shapes, sizes, textures, lengths and flexibility. If you stretch a rubber band to the max it typically bounces back into shape due to elasticity." Based on this, I firmly believe in starting where you are to work on breaking down those walls of narrow thinking to bounce back with your elasticity to positive thinking and push towards resilience. Having faith in yourself marks the initial stride, by seeking guidance, you've already embarked on the next leg of your journey. You hold the resilience needed to conquer the challenges you've encountered, even if it feels daunting. In the realm of therapy, my guiding principle is to embrace the process of healing and personal development with an open heart. I'm here to support you on this journey.

Since 2011, I have pursued the field of Psychology and Mental Health with great passion. Throughout this time, I have had the privilege and honor of working with diverse populations with an approach that focuses on the individual. I continue to gain insight, knowledge and skills within the field of Mental Health and recognize the importance of continuing education. I am, and have always been drawn to understanding the human condition and behaviors that may contribute to an individual’s personal struggle. I believe that the therapeutic process is highly beneficial and effective in providing healing, self-insight, wisdom, understanding, acceptance, knowledge and so much more. I have found that utilizing multiple therapeutic approaches allows for individuality within treatment and the therapeutic relationship. I typically utilize concepts related to Depth Psychology, Mindfulness Practices, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT); Motivational Interviewing (MI); Solution Focused Therapy, and Existential therapy. It is my understanding that all behavior is purposeful and allows an individual to obtain personal needs and desires.

Through the therapeutic process we will explore these patterns and discover ways in which an individual can live a rewarding and meaningful life.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and never judged; a space where we can talk openly and work together to help you find clarity, confidence, and healing. I will meet you where you are, and together we will build tools that help you manage emotions, understand yourself more deeply, and create meaningful change in your life. Whether you are just starting out or have tried therapy before, this is your space, and I am here to help guide you through it. You do not have to carry it all alone. Healing takes time. But it starts with a single step, and I would be honored to be part of that journey with you. If you are ready to talk, I invite you to reach out. I am here when you are ready.

What stops you from leading a happy, productive life? What causes you stress, anxiety and depression?
