Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. I received my Masters from the University of South Florida and have practiced for over 21 years. I help adults struggling with depression, anxiety, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, career challenges, relationship issues, anger management, self-esteem issues, and confidence issues learn skills to find meaning and purpose in their lives.
Hello and welcome! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida with over 14 years of experience helping adults navigate life’s challenges, transitions, and emotional stressors.
I’m passionate about supporting people as they grow, heal, and reconnect with their strengths. My approach is warm, collaborative, and empowering—I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Together, we’ll create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore what’s holding you back, gain clarity around your goals, and take meaningful steps toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
In our work, we’ll focus on breaking unhelpful thought patterns, building emotional resilience, and developing practical, real-world tools you can use right away. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood challenges, ADHD, and stress related to relationships, work, and major life changes.
Choosing to start therapy is a powerful act of self-awareness and courage. I’m here to walk alongside you—offering support, insight, and encouragement while celebrating every step forward on your journey.
Thank you for visiting my page! I am Mario, a licensed therapist in Florida. I offer counseling via telehealth and I have flexible hours throughout the week. I have worked in the mental health field since my junior year of college, and I'm not burnt out yet! I find my work rewarding and I look forward to helping you.
I work primarily with individuals. If you are seeking family therapy, please reach out and we can discuss your family's/couple's needs on a case-by-case basis.
*I am available many hours throughout the week, but not all of my openings are reflected on my calendar here. If you wish to inquire about session times you don't see listed, please reach out through the Grow Therapy contact line, 646-687-9932.
Hi Everyone,
I am a Licensed Counselor in Central Florida for the last 3 years. I have worked and volunteered in a variety of settings over the years including a crisis hotline, private practice, and mentor to homeless teenage girls. I also worked with at-risk male youth and young fathers in East Harlem. I volunteered with incarcerated men in New York and on a Native American Reservation in Arizona. I am specialized in substance abuse treatment settings helping clients to explore triggers for their behaviors as well as coping skills for maintaining sobriety. I now work with adults and my areas of focus are anxiety, addictions and trauma. However I work with a wide range of conditions and populations.
As a social worker I believe every client inherently possess the strength and ability to consistently grow for the better in emotions, insight, cognitively, and spiritually. Rather than looking at a situation based on one issue, I look at the person as part emotional, physical, and environmental.
My goal is to advocate, empower, and uniquely guide each client to achieve self fulfillment, independence and integrity. Without judgement, I’m dedicated to help my clients develop a strong sense of self confidence, self respect and self reliance and healthy boundaries.

I have been working in the field since 2015, and practicing as an independent clinician in my own private practice since June 2023
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!
Do you feel like you just "can't anymore" or torn between life's happenings, feeling overwhelmed? Have you had those moments of just wishing you can be better? Do better?
I empower individuals to overcome these thoughts and realities brought upon depression, anxiety, trauma or just life. This is normal.
I strongly believe in our own gift and strength to push through adversities. Resilence. We are humans and it's normal to hurt, and to struggle, but it is also within us to get back up. We can work together to carve out or refine those strengths already within you to propel you toward your goal. I use a person-centered approach and take from the many modalities to best fit your needs, including CBT, EMDR and EFT.
Considering therapy is brave. Having that first session is a milestone. Overcoming and functioning through challenges is the goal!
I am glad to work together and through what you're experiencing. I am here for you.
My name is Mireya Rivero and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, parenting and life transitions. I help by creating a judgement-free space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and needs. Therapy can be your safe space to get to know yourself at a deeper level so that you can continue to bloom into the person you have the potential to be.
I have been a clinical mental health therapist and behavior analyst for children and adults. I have treated and helped people with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, problems with motivation and other life issues unique to each person. I have worked in schools, outpatient practices and homes. My experience has led to form a unique and diverse system for identifying and assessing challenging behavior patterns. I value the human experience and understand that just because a problem is identified, change is not automatic. Understanding the patterns that maintain behavior and thinking patterns can take asking the right questions and exploring unique alternatives to those patterns.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Board Certified Art Therapist, and my approach is strength based and client centered. Although I mostly use a cognitive behavioral framework, art therapy is something special I offer to my clients knowing it can be a powerful and unique way to process emotions and experiences. Whether a client is going through a challenging life transition, suffer from more chronic clinical diagnoses or have areas of life they want to reflect on to change or improve, I encourage them to reach out for a complimentary consult call. I look forward to working with individuals on their own journey of personal growth and healing.
Are you feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, not good enough or feel like you have your back up against the wall? Or maybe you are feeling as though your past won’t let you break free so you can start feeling alive again. You want relief, and to silence the noise around you for good! You are not alone and I am here to help! I help individuals struggling with anxiety, depression and trauma break free from their past so that they can go from surviving to thriving. My goal for my clients is to inspire them to overcome challenges, develop resilience and reclaim peace and purpose for their life.
I am a licensed clinical social worker committed to having a successful therapeutic relationship with clients. I like to empower and collaboratively work with clients to address their concerns, reach their personal goals and optimal potentials. I've always wanted to help people and I've always been a really social person; therapy allows me to do both and serve clients who may not have sought therapy before. Being a Black woman, I understand that people who look like me are least likely to seek therapy; this is one of the reasons I chose to become a therapist. I love interacting with clients from all different backgrounds as this widens my therapeutic practice. I received my undergraduate degree from FSU and my MSW degree from FIU.
I'm Sheri, and I'm dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of individuals and families through compassionate counseling. With years of experience in the fields of mental health and personal development, I've had the privilege of guiding numerous clients toward healing, growth, and fulfillment. With a background in mental health counseling, coaching, and education, I bring a unique perspective to my practice. My training has equipped me with a deep understanding of psychological principles and therapeutic techniques to address a wide range of concerns, including behavior challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, emotional regulation, self-worth and parenting support among many other topics.

I have several years of experience treating individuals, families, and adolescents using a holistic, empathic, and trauma-informed approach. Watching friends and family struggle with mental health and substance abuse issues fueled my passion for helping those who struggle with these difficulties from a place of understanding, patience, and empathy. I received a BA in psychology first, which led to obtaining a substance abuse certificate. I gained experience working with families and individuals and, after some time, I was ready to further my education and obtained a Master of Social Work. This helped me expand my clinical skills and learn more targeted therapy modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, psychoanalytical care, and art therapy. I found these approaches are a great synthesis of neuroscience, trauma, and creativity.

As we work together, you will find that a major focus is on building a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel supported and understood. I am empathetic, nonjudgmental, and a great listener. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured, goal-oriented therapy that encourages you to focus on current problems and find solutions, rather than dwelling on the past. This approach allows you to manage mental health conditions and emotional concerns by identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. I look forward to working together, problem-solving, and helping you feel like yourself again!

I am a dedicated LMHC and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Certified Grief-Informed Specialist with over three years of experience helping clients navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. My approach integrates evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality/Choice Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, inner child work, grief work, and trauma-focused care. I strive to foster a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered. Grounded in a collaborative and strengths-based philosophy, I tailor each session to the unique needs of each individual—focusing on self-awareness, resilience, and actionable strategies for growth. My goal is to help clients uncover their inner strengths, develop practical solutions, and achieve their personal goals.
I’m a therapist who is passionate about helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds navigate life’s challenges and connect more deeply with their strengths, values, and goals. Whether you're dealing with the effects of trauma, navigating anxiety or depression, managing ADHD, or simply seeking greater clarity and balance, I provide a supportive space where healing and growth are possible. With years of experience in both mental health and advocacy, I bring a social justice and multicultural lens to my work. I’m committed to creating an inclusive, supportive environment for all clients—regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity; where you feel seen, respected, and heard.
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 there. I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in Kentucky, New Hampshire and Florida. For over 16 years, I have been helping people who are living with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes and living with ADHD. I enjoy helping people learn how to use their own strengths to start feeling better. I have worked in a number of settings including inpatient treatment and outpatient. I enjoy meeting people from diverse backgrounds and helping people start feeling better whatever stage of life they are in.
You are seeking, that is what brought you here. Sometimes that may be a single event, a crisis, a trauma, or a series of events that have you weary. Life can bring us to a place where we need to do things differently and can't quite sort out what that looks like.
My experiences working with community mental health, private practice, trauma, crisis, and critical incidents have equipped me understand how difficult challenges can be for individuals and families.
My experience as a Social Worker provides the educational platform to help you explore all of the systems that influence your life.
I believe my kind yet practical approach to counseling offers an opportunity for hope and change.
Hello, I'm Julia Eusebio, a licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to providing exceptional care in outpatient settings. With over five years of experience and a Master's in Social Work, I bring a blend of expertise, compassion, and dedication to every client interaction.
My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and empowerment. I believe in meeting individuals where they are and working together to create a safe and supportive environment where healing can occur.

Would you like to understand yourself better so that you can feel better and get more of what you want in life? I help with the range of problems that people can have -- depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, spiritual conflicts, and relationship problems -- or whatever is troubling you.
We'll begin by listening deeply to your thoughts, feelings, and needs as you are comfortable sharing them. Together we can find solutions to your problems. We may choose to learn some simple and effective relaxation methods, empowering communication skills, and techniques to heal childhood hurts. All of this works together for good self esteem, good energy, and a good life.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and how we might work together. Hoping to meet you soon!

Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. With a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville University, I’ve spent the past 6 years supporting clients in reaching their mental health goals. I believe that everyone has an innate sense of what they need for healing, but often lacks a safe space to explore and express those needs. My goal is to create that supportive environment for my clients.
I am a warm, collaborative Licensed Clinical Social Worker with international training and experience across private practice, hospitals, schools, and court settings. I specialize in working with people across the lifespan navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, and ADHD.
As someone who personally understands ADHD, I bring both clinical expertise and lived insight to this work. I understand the overwhelm, the racing mind, the emotional intensity, and the frustration of feeling misunderstood as well as how this can impact our relationships.
Therapy with me is never one-size-fits-all — especially for neurodivergent clients. I tailor our work to how your brain functions, integrating structure, creativity, and practical strategies that actually stick.
My approach is individualized and client-led. Together, we unpack the “cloud of worry,” explore attachment patterns and nervous system responses, and identify clear, achievable goals. I integrate ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and attachment-focused work to support meaningful and sustainable change.
As the founder of Finding My Better, LLC, I center therapy around one guiding question: What does “better” look like for you?
I am also an artist, musician and a mother of two, bringing grounded perspective, creativity, and real-life understanding into the therapy space.
Welcome to the start of a new chapter in your life; Having the vulnerability to begin this journey is a huge step in the right direction, and I am proud of you!
While working together, my approach will be warm and collaborative. I believe YOU are the expert on your own life, and in our work together, I’ll provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to help you tap into your inner strength and build a toolkit for lasting change.
Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Masters from the Florida State University and have been practicing for over 15 years. I help teens and adults struggling with depression and anxiety to become the best versions of themselves. I have worked with diverse populations and have experience working with adults, couples, groups, children and adolescents.
As a counselor, I believe that healing begins with understanding — both of ourselves and of the patterns that shape how we live, think, and feel.
My approach is person-centered, strength-based, and compassionate. I deeply believe in meeting clients where they are, and I honor the pace at which each person is ready to move. Growth takes time, and every step forward is meaningful. I hold the belief that we each already carry the strength, wisdom, and resilience we need within us — sometimes we just need help uncovering it. By gently shifting away from unhelpful patterns and learning to embrace more empowering ways of thinking and being, we make room for courage, clarity, and transformation.
Most importantly, I want clients to know that this deep and necessary inner work doesn't have to be done alone. As a counselor, my goal is to walk alongside you — with honesty, care, and encouragement — as you navigate life’s challenges and rediscover what’s possible for you.
My passion in the mental health field is to encourage children and teens to become life-long advocates for their emotional, mental, and physical well-being. It is my hope that together, we will find useful strategies that can be built upon and continue to grow during both the ups and downs of adolescence and beyond. My clients often present with moderate to severe worries and anxiety around “typical” angst related to school, activities, and relationships. Sometimes the stress is sneaky and camouflaged to look like fatigue, irritability, and apathy. I find that many young people use coping skills that may not be the healthiest; however making the initial decision to seek out better solutions through counseling provides countless options for therapeutic approaches.
In 2025, I proudly founded my own practice, Grand Wellness Group, in an effort to continue to provide the best support for clients, families, and supervision for clinical mental health providers.
Hello, my name is German and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My journey to becoming a mental health provider began at a very young age. Throughout this journey, I have served adults, children and families and have assisted them in navigating many life challenges. I have learned that balancing education, work and a family comes with challenges. Allow me to provide you with education, techniques and coaching to help you navigate through whatever you are going through at this moment. I consider myself to be non-judgemental, genuine and collaborative. I would like to join you on your journey.
Hello and welcome!
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with almost eight years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults. I earned my Master’s degree from Barry University and have a passion for helping people navigate life’s challenges—whether that’s anxiety, depression, school or work stress, or relationship difficulties.
In our work together, I focus on teaching healthy coping strategies, improving communication skills, and finding effective ways to manage emotional triggers. My goal is to empower you to feel more balanced, confident, and fulfilled in your daily life.
Outside of my professional role, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, and playing card games. I’m dedicated to ongoing learning, both personally and professionally, so I can continue to provide the best support possible.
I believe that every challenge offers an opportunity for growth, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you take steps toward healing and change. Above all, I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself.
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.
Hello and welcome. I’m Shakis Farmer, and for more than ten years I’ve supported children, adults, and families in both schools and the community. Taking the step toward therapy shows strength, and I’m honored to be part of your journey.
I believe everyone deserves a space where they can feel safe, valued, and truly heard. Life’s challenges can leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed, but growth becomes possible when we have the right tools and support. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you uncover solutions, restore balance, and reconnect with the strengths you already carry within you.
You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Together, we can create a path forward that feels empowering and meaningful.
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in the state of Florida since 2021. I am also currently licensed in Massachusetts and Colorado. I attended Rivier College for my BA and University of New Hampshire for my MSW. I have worked in multiple settings, including healthcare, hospice , adoption, addiction, and general outpatient mental health and relationships.
I am a bi-lingual and bi-cultural Licensed Certified Social Worker who received her Masters in Social Work from Boston College. I provide effective, transformative, and lasting life changes in children, adults, and families. I've worked with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, stress disorders, adjustment, relationship challenges, trauma, and mood disorders. I am passionate about providing a counseling environment that encourages respect, safety, trust, and honesty while tailoring each session to the clients' need.
I was inspired to become a therapist because I wanted to be the kind of safe, supportive presence for others that I needed during my own childhood. What I love most about this work is seeing the growth my clients make, but also being there through the tough times when they stumble and watching them find the strength to get back up. I have a deep commitment to building trust, honoring each person’s unique journey, and empowering them to create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
I’m a therapist with three years of experience supporting clients through challenges like anxiety, depression, substance use, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care, which allows me to offer a balance of structure, compassion, and empowerment. I believe in meeting each client where they are and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, respected, and understood. I work side by side with clients to help them notice unhelpful thought patterns, build practical coping skills, and reconnect with their own strengths and resilience.
Hello, I’m Jose and I am a Licensed Mental Health psychotherapist. As a therapist, I believe that a kind and supportive, client-focused approach is fundamental in helping navigate the many challenges that life can bring. I like to provide my clients with a warm, nonjudgmental, safe, and supportive space where we can explore and address the various thoughts, emotions and experiences that pose a challenge in everyday life. Life can bring about many challenges and at times, seeking professional support can help manage these challenges. I take pride in being able to meet my clients where they are as we explore what therapy have to offer. Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting but I’m here to explore any obstacles you may face. My goal is to help you understand yourself more.
