I use a client-centered approach most often and evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavior therapy or motivational interviewing. I'll give an open, nonjudgmental space to help you move through rather than around difficult thoughts, feelings, and situations. I can help with a variety of concerns from adjusting to life changes, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and/or unresolved trauma. For trauma work, there a few methods that we discuss and choose depending on needs: EMDR, CPT and NET. Each trauma intervention is quite different in method but the ultimate goal is the same: post traumatic growth.

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) woman, a proud veteran, and someone who knows what it’s like to carry invisible weight. I became a mental health counselor because I believe in real conversations, trust built over time, and having a space where you don’t have to hide what you’re feeling. People who work with me often say they feel like they can finally exhale. I bring calm, compassion, and honesty into the room. I’m not here to judge or tell you how to live your life. I’m here to walk beside you as you figure things out—whether that’s making sense of the past, dealing with hard relationships, or just trying to feel more like yourself again. I’ve worked with people who didn’t even realize how much they were holding in until they had someone to talk to. I know that reaching out can feel scary or uncomfortable. That’s okay. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start. You don’t need to call what you’re feeling “trauma” or “anxiety” if that doesn’t feel right to you. All you need is the sense that something needs to shift—and the willingness to take that first step. Outside of work, I’m grounded by my own healing practices, community, and culture. I value humor, kindness, and realness. You don’t have to show up as anyone but yourself. If you’re reading this and wondering if things could be different—you’re not alone. And you don’t have to go through it alone.

I genuinely believe in the power of therapy. So much can be improved upon through supportive connections, empathy and the general resilience of the human condition. I have a vested curiosity in the lived experiences of my clients and a commitment to their growth and goals. Change itself is inevitable, and at times can feel insurmountable, that said together we can work to direct the trajectory of where those changes may take you. A bit about me; I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have approximately 6 years of clinical experience. I am a born and raised Floridian - from St. Petersburg, FL - however, I spent much of my young adult life traveling and moving about (Miami, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Costa Rica, New Orleans and now back in the Tampa Bay Area). I received my Bachelors degree in Social Work, with a minor in Spanish, from the University of North Florida. In 2020, I graduated from Jacksonville University with a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. During my graduate study, I completed clinical internship (1500+ hours of direct client work) with a Hospice agency as a bereavement counselor. Post-graduation, I was hired by that same agency and counseled surviving loved ones of Hospice patients through their grief journey and efforts to adjust. Surviving loss is manageable and grief therapy can help with visualizing a more hopeful future that honors your loved ones.

Hello, my name is Robin! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over five years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. My approach to therapy is compassionate, creative, and grounded in building genuine connections. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and healing, and I work to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. My personal journey has given me a deep understanding of life’s joys and challenges, allowing me to connect with clients in a genuine and compassionate way. I understand that each person’s story is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet the individual needs of those I work with. In sessions, I often incorporate experiential and hands-on tools to make therapy engaging and practical, helping clients apply what they learn in real and lasting ways. Outside the therapy room, you’ll often find me spending time with my kids, tending to my garden, staying active through exercise, or enjoying creative projects and crafting. I value creativity both personally and professionally, and I love bringing that spirit into my work to help clients feel empowered, supported, and equipped for their own journeys of growth.

Hello there! My name is Elizabeth Taylor and I am in Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have been working as a counselor for the past 9 years, although I have been working in the mental health field for much longer. I began working as a Mental Health Technician when I was an Airman in the United States Air Force in 2007. I worked closely with military men and women returning from deployments and experiencing symptoms of PTSD. I led Anger Management and Stress Management groups. This experience grew my desire to enter into a field that involved helping those struggling with mental health challenges to find healing. I separated from the Air Force and went into grad school. Since graduating, I have worked as a therapist with several different populations, including families involved with the foster care system, adult inmates in a prison, youth in the Juvenile Justice system, adults in community mental health, children in the school setting, and, most recently, adults and children in private practice. I have a passion for working with those suffering with anxiety, OCD, and trauma. I have specialized training in EMDR to help treat trauma, as well as ERP, which has been shown to be the "Gold Standard" treatment for OCD. I am also certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which guides much of my approach to emotion regulation.

Glad you stopped by! I'm Larry Goble, a licensed Clinical Social Worker. Taking the step to talk to a therapist is not easy. You are showing courage and determination to explore what it might be like. In working with folks who are feeling stuck, anxious, maybe sad and confused, I find using a practical and sometimes humorous approach helps to learn and develop specific ways to counter stress, manage thoughts and feelings that can overwhelm you, and to increase self-confidence.

A warm, compassionate, genuine therapist, who believes to live a full life one must be balanced physically, mentally, and emotionally. I am very mindful of how culture, identify, and lived experiences shape how we navigate the world. I also genuinely believe in meeting each client where they are, and creating a space where they feel safe, respected, and empowered to show up just as they are. So, I approach the therapeutic relationship with the understanding that my clients are the experts in their lives, and I am the explorer helping them change course in their journey. As a therapist in Private Practice for over 7 years, I have learnt that therapy works best when it feels real and human — when clients can feel that I am not just listening, but genuinely present with them.
