Hello there! I'm Patrick Powell. I think of myself as a practitioner, counselor educator, and researcher. I work with children, adults, couples, and families. I think of counseling as a process where you and I build a relationship and work together to address whatever issues are impacting you. I'm a holistic counselor, meaning that I will explore multiple aspects of your life, including how you engage socially, how you think about situations, how you manage or express your emotions, your behaviors and skills, the quality of your interactions with family and friends, and several other areas of funcitoning. I'm also a strength-based counselor. I believe that we all have untapped resources, both internal and external, that we can use to make our lives better. I have worked in non-profit and two private practice environments. In terms of my credentials, I received a Master of Arts degree in Community Counseling and a Doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision. Along with clinical practice, I have served as a faculty member in clinical mental health counseling programs since 2011. I train future generations of counselors to work with people. I hold several licenses and certifications. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee. I am also a Qualified Supervisor in Florida. I have published several manuscripts, a book on the assessment and treatment of trauma and I have current works in press. I also often deliver presentations on process addictions and other topics at the SACES and ACA conventions.

Hello and Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida and certified Trauma-Informed Care therapist.

I have a total of 10 years counseling experience and have worked with children, adolescent and adults.

My counseling style is a combination of warm and empathetic, along with tactful honesty and accountability. I believe in mutual respect and compassion. I encourage my clients to be honest with me and if something is not working, to speak up and tell me. I believe in allowing my clients to take ownership of their therapy and gain skills in advocating for themselves and their loved ones. I also believe in understanding the human condition of imperfection and we all make mistakes. I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral, psycho-education, solution focus, and psycho-dynamic. I understand that sometimes all a person needs is an active ear, but also quick and useful solutions to problematic symptoms or issues. I will create a balance within my counseling style based on your particular needs and preferences. I also enjoy adding an element of humor in my treatment when it is appropriate. It takes a great amount of courage to ask for help. I look forward to helping you through your journey and learning more about yourself. My goal is to help empower you to improve what is working well for you and give you the tools to help change what is not working for you. I look forward to starting this new journey with you!

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 adolescence. What I love most about this work is witnessing the incredible 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. At the heart of everything I do is 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 truly 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.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Masters from Saint Leo University and have over 20 years of clinical experience serving children, teens, adults, and families in a variety of settings: Community Mental Health and School Social Work. Especially helping clients with stress, relationship issues, parenting, family conflict, addictions (eating disorders and/or substance use), depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, low self-esteem, women's issues, trauma, behavioral concerns, and mood disorders. Be proud of yourself for taking the first step towards a better more rewarding life. It's not always easy to take time away from your hectic schedule to focus on your own wants and needs. However, the outcome can be incredibly rewarding! Together we can cultivate resiliency and bring balance back into your life. Using a holistic approach, I assist my clients to effectively face life challenges in a safe and connected environment. I also integrate mindfulness, yoga, and meditation into the session if my client is open to these practices.

Hi, I’m Mercedes Harrison— and I help youth and adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next chapter move from self-doubt to clarity and confident action. Whether you're a child struggling to understand big emotions, a teenager trying to make sense of growing pressures, a young adult feeling lost in transitions, or someone further along in life wondering, “Is this really it?” — I’m here to help you find your footing again. I know how heavy it can feel to carry anxious thoughts, self-criticism, or a sense that you're falling behind. Maybe you're caught in comparison, struggling to make decisions, or just unsure of what you truly want. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. In our work together, we’ll create a space that’s calm, compassionate, and free of judgment. We'll begin to untangle the thoughts and patterns that are keeping you stuck, reconnect with your values, and build a sense of direction that feels true to you — one small, manageable step at a time. I support clients in learning to trust themselves, speak more kindly to their inner world, and take action from a place of clarity rather than fear. My approach is grounded, supportive, and tailored to where you are — whether you’re just starting to explore who you are, or ready to make meaningful changes in your life. This is about helping you come home to yourself — with more confidence, clarity, and alignment.

Hello, I am Jayne, Have you experienced something frightening happen to you that even when you try hard, you still think about it? Does it keep you up at night? Does it make it hard to concentrate? Are you feeling overwhelmed with anxiety and/or depression? Sometimes when frightening things happen we have a hard time letting go. This is where therapy can help. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can happen to all of us. It can happen from something we experience or what is called secondary trauma, from witnessing something that happening to someone else. I would be honored to help you as you move through time in your life to empower you to be the best version of you!

Hi, I'm Courtney! Congratulations on having the strength and courage in taking the first step on your journey to living your best life. The hardest part of therapy is being brave enough to seek out professional help, which you are doing right now! Like myself and many of my clients, you have tried everything you can think of to mend your issues and up until now, you have not found a successful solution. I am here to tell you that you have come to the right place. I know how intimidating and scary it can be to seek out professional help, I have been where you are right now. I remember thinking that I was probably wasting my time by talking to a complete stranger but feeling like I had to give it a chance because every day that passed by, I felt more less in control of my own life. I am happy to share with you that seeking therapy was the best decision I ever made and I hope by the end of our journey, you feel the same way too!

Hi, I’m Crystal Rollefson, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. Since moving from Hawaii in late 2021, I’ve been working with a small private practice while also beginning to grow my own practice. I hold a Certificate in Play Therapy from Capella University and am currently pursuing credentials to become a Registered Play Therapist in the state of Florida. My professional journey began in substance abuse counseling, where I spent two years supporting adults with addictions, criminal justice involvement, and co-occurring mental health conditions. My approach to therapy is integrative and holistic, combining client-centered care, cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), mindfulness, and play therapy principles. I believe in empowering individuals by helping them recognize and build upon their strengths—even when those strengths feel hard to find. Together, we can uncover them. I’m also a strong advocate for self-care and self-love as essential components of mental and physical well-being. Outside of the therapy room, you’ll find me practicing yoga, enjoying CrossFit, lifting at the gym, camping, or paddleboarding. I strive to bring the same energy of balance and intentional living into my work with clients. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can heal, grow, and thrive—at your own pace and on your own terms.

Hi, my name is Joe, and I'm happy that you are looking into counseling. I believe that I can help you. I have nearly 30 years of counseling experience working with various populations. My specific treatment areas include treating depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, anger control problems and impulse control disorders. I became interested in therapy after I took my first Psychology class in college. It is fascinating to me trying to understand human thinking, feeling, and behavior, alone and with others. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology(1986) and a Master of Arts degree in Mental Health/Rehabilitation Counseling(1993) from the University of South Florida. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida since 1997. For 12 years, I provided mental health services for children and teenagers with emotional and behavioral problems in the school system. Since 2004, I have had my own agency that provides mental health services and behavioral analysis services for the state of Florida's developmental disability program. I also provide mental health services for the elderly. For the last couple of years, I have provided telehealth therapy services for various populations.

I am an energetic and creative therapist passionate about meeting with people to bring more clarity, peace, and joy into their life. I am also a Christian, mother, cat-mom, artist, athlete, amateur cook/baker, and reading enthusiast. I utilize a mixture of evidence-based practices and creative exercises to meet people where they are at, develop a deep understanding of their circumstances, as well as how they are thinking about those circumstances. I guide my client to setting specific intentions for our time together that they agree will be worthwhile. I will be warm and understanding, but I am also not afraid to challenge my clients on things they could benefit from changing. I often enjoy using humor and laughter as a force for that change. I have experience serving in a private practice outpatient capacity, intensive outpatient hospital setting, and at the residential level of care. These unique settings have given me a variety of skills and an ability to understand multiple levels of distress and/or what past treatment may have been like for my clients (the good, the bad, and the ugly.)
