Hello, my name is Takiyah Thomas Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida with 5 years of experience.

Jupiter, FL - Accepting clients in FL
A little bit about me, my name is Amanda Chilleme, I am a Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master’s Certified Addiction professional. For the last 11 years I have been helping my clients identify intrinsically important goals, overcoming obstacles, and build the foundation for a better future. My specialty has been working with men and women struggling with both substance abuse and process or behavioral addictions; helping them to find the pathway to a life unencumbered. I also have years of experience treating clients with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, bereavement, trauma, attachment, and personality disorders.
As a clinician, I utilize a human focused approach. I am not here to tell you what you need to work on; you already know the “what”. As a clinician, it is my job to help you understand the “why”, and eventually, the “how” (to fix it, overcome it, or just plain throw it away). Your first session, is essentially a two-way interview; as I listen to your story/narrative, and the “rough draft” begins to unfold, WE as a team determine if, 1) I am the right therapist for you, and 2) If you are the right client for me. If we both agree to move forward from the first session, identifying your goals will be your first assignment; giving you the opportunity to do this, helps me to better see how you think and interpret your barriers (i.e. stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, etc.). I am your coach, teammate, and cheer leader! We will focus on one goal at a time.
Whether you are just starting this process, or you have been in it for a while, I encourage you to plant that mustard seed, and watch just how beautifully you can grow.

Are you feeling down and have little interest or pleasure in doing things you normally do? Do you feel tired or have little energy or so restless that it is hard to sit still and relax? Are you easily annoyed or irritable? If you answer yes to any or all of these questions, then you may be experiencing some depression and anxiety. But I have good news for you!

I am a licensed mental health counselor with several years of experience in private practice. I have been working with children, teens, adults, couples and families, accompanying my clients in their processes toward achieving higher levels of wellbeing and overall health.
I am a mother of two grown women, I have a rescue dog and a cat, and I practice self care by walking outdoors everyday as I listen to music and enjoy nature. I am working on a couple of writing projects that hopefully I’ll share with you in the near future.
I specialize in CBT, solution focus, talk therapy, and I apply skills of psycho-drama and play therapy with my youngest clients. I have helped people with anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, acculturation issues, grief, academic performance, self-image, relational issues, and LGTBQ advocacy.

I also work with depressive-based symptoms and teach coping and improved thought processes to create a lifelong change to your ability to meet your needs. Together, we will identify what's not working and get you back to a baseline that works for you. I work holistically, my therapy provides tools to support needs within yourself, your relationships, and your family dynamic. If you're dealing with overwhelming emotions and feelings, hurtful relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. I also have many years experience working with people with Autism as well as all Applied Behavioral modalities.

I have more than 15 years of experience in child welfare, behavioral health, and mental health, with a specialization in system improvements. Throughout my career, I've demonstrated a track record of leading innovative programs aimed at supporting children and families. Previously, I served as the CEO for the Children's Advocacy Center on the Treasure Coast and as the COO for Hibiscus Children’s Center, where I successfully implemented the Sanctuary Model, an organizational change model grounded in trauma theory.
During my time at Hibiscus, I held multiple roles, including Director of Mental Health Services and Program Coordinator for the Sexual Abuse Treatment Program. My commitment to providing transformative care and my dedication to advancing the mission of mental health advocacy have been the driving forces behind my work.
I currently serve as the Clinical Director at Remedy Therapy, where I continue to utilize my expertise in child welfare, behavioral health, and mental health. In this role, I am dedicated to overseeing the implementation of effective therapeutic interventions and ensuring the provision of high-quality care to our clients. My focus remains on driving positive outcomes for individuals and families while fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment within the organization.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University, a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University, and an MBA from Liberty University, which I obtained in 2017. Additionally, I am a licensed mental health counselor and qualified supervisor for registered mental health interns seeking licensure.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I am also a devoted wife to my husband Preston and a proud parent to our 8-year-old daughter named Penelope. Our family is completed by our beloved Aussie Doodles named “Goose” and "Maverick".
