Michele Nicole Bradford has been supporting individuals therapeutically for 20 years.

Because of her immense experience in working with individuals, children, and families, she has been able to gain and provide numerous tools to help one to be able to live a more healed, free, and authentic life. Michele created the motto “ME In Detail” to help facilitate your own personal soul-care healing and growth movement because “YOU are worth it!” When you take your leap with the “ME In Detail" motto, you are informing yourself and the universe that YOU are ready to own your life in full detail. Michele understands that the journey of healing is a unique experience for each individual that requires time, spaciousness, and gentle support. What makes taking your own leap of faith with Michele different is that she has and continues to do the “in detailed” self-work herself. She realizes that we must continuously care for ourselves at the soul level.

It is time to invest yourself! The first step to changing our circumstances is acknowledging something isn’t working. The process of change takes courage. My approach in counseling is to create an encouraging environment which my clients can find the strength to make those first steps into the unknown. I graduated from Palm Beach Atlantic University with a bachelors degree in science of psychology and a minor in communication. I then went on to receive a Masters degree in counseling from Webster University. After my education I went on to gain clinical experience in many different areas over the next 18 years including, but not limited to inpatient psychiatric facilities, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, group therapy, marriage and family counseling, individual counseling, and substance abuse counseling. Licensed in the state of FLorida (MH10911) as a mental health counselor, I aim to provide quality care. I specialize in couples counseling, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, mens issues, family therapy, job stress, interpersonal issues, child therapy, and most other conditions. I look forward to assisting you on you journey to wellness! Below is a link to my book, "8 solutions for wining the war of you vs you" https://a.co/d/2hOjUOt

Hello! My name is Alysa Gregory, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I grew up in a small city in Michigan and moved to Florida in 2015, where I obtained my Master’s Degree and Licensure in Clinical Social Work. I have always had a passion for practicing as a therapist, and the reason is simple; I believe that all human beings are and were created equally and ultimately are all in search of the same thing in life, happiness. It took me some time before I chose to pursue a career in mental health and many hours, days and years of exploring my inner most being, before I knew that this field was for me. I have spent a lot of time exploring the behaviors, feelings and emotions of others, along with getting to know myself and learning to be in tune with my inner most self. I truly believe this has helped me become the best therapist I can be. I pride myself on continuing to grow and learn as a mental health professional, as we all know the world is constantly and rapidly changing and shifting directions. It is important to me as a therapist that I consistently check in with myself to be sure that I am providing the very best services to my clients/patients at all times. I am truly here to serve my clients and I am one hundred percent committed to the well-being of each individual I serve. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and to become a part of your life journey.

Welcome, I’ve been a mental health counselor since my early 20s, licensed since 1997, and have worked with hundreds of clients from varied backgrounds in individual counseling, addressing diverse challenges. Counseling can be a quick, effective way to lessen suffering and its impacts—like strained relationships, difficulties at work or school, physical health issues, substance use, or suicidal thoughts—caused by life’s hardships. Together, we’ll review your past, tackle current issues, and plan a clear route to your goals. I specialize in brief therapy, a focused, time-limited approach that delivers rapid relief for depression and anxiety, often through structured techniques. I also treat the effects of accumulated traumas—such as combat, childhood abuse (physical or sexual), emotional neglect, poverty, and loss—using targeted methods to foster healing.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional based in Florida, currently training to become an Integrative therapist. I believe true healing goes beyond just addressing thoughts or behaviors. it’s about nurturing the whole person. That means tending to the mind, body, and spirit, and recognizing how each part plays a role. My journey into social work came from a deep belief in the power of being heard and supported through life’s most difficult moments.
