I help clients work through anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions using a thoughtful, evidence based approach that’s tailored to your needs. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported as you gain clarity, confidence, and tools to move forward.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background working with adults, adoptees, and trauma. My therapeutic approach revolves around building a relationship with my clients and establishing the core issue of what is a challenge for them by facilitating a place for them to be transparent with themselves, judgment-free. I have experience working with all walks of life and have held an assortment of different roles in the field working with social services, foster care, adoption, and healthcare. These experiences have made me well-rounded when it comes to addressing cultures and beliefs that differ from my own. The first step toward getting better is having the courage to ask for help. Let's meet for a session and get to know one another.
I bring over 20 years of experience working with individuals across all ages—adults, young adults, teens, and children. Throughout my career, I’ve supported people navigating a wide range of challenges, including trauma, faith-related concerns, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, substance use, men’s issues, self-esteem struggles, decision-making difficulties, and grief and loss.
My path into counseling began with a master’s degree in pastoral counseling. Over time, I felt called to serve a broader community, which led me to pursue a second master’s degree in counseling psychology. This training allows me to integrate both clinical expertise and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience.
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely heard, supported, and safe. My primary goal is to create a space where you can talk openly about the parts of your life that feel heavy, confusing, or painful—without judgment or pressure.
I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, tailoring them to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll identify what feels most helpful for you and build a path forward that supports your growth, clarity, and well-being.
I have been working for over 30 years with individuals of all ages and backgrounds who are differently abled and on the autism spectrum. I have a strong behavioral background and work with people who use alcohol and drugs to escape the stressors of daily life. I take a holistic and humanist approach, stressing the importance of authentic connection. My practice primarily focuses on building ties between communities, families, and individuals that provide ongoing emotional support.
Hello/Hola! I am a licensed clinical social worker and clinical qualified supervisor in Florida with 10+ years of work experience in the field. As a therapist, my approach is grounded in authenticity, genuine care, and a deep commitment to fostering resilience. I believe in the strength and capacity within each individual to heal, grow, and navigate life’s challenges. My role is to provide a compassionate and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with your inner strengths, and build the tools you need to thrive.
Hello, My name is Philomena , but you can call me Philo, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker- Qualified Supervisor in the state of Florida who has been in the field since 2013. My work history is colored with working with Teen Mother experiencing Crisis Pregnancy who opted to parent or place their children for adoption, assessing the Veteran population for biopsychosocial needs, and working in the educational setting as a School Therapist for Middle and High School age students. I have a love for Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies and Social Work Practice with the Elderly and have Undergrad and Graduate Certificates in both areas, respectively.
While my resume and credentials may speak to my professional qualifications, I have many additional experiences that support my knowledge and cultural sensitivity. I offer a zeal for working with older teens, young adults, and women wishing to manifest change in their lives. I have worked with students struggling under social pressures and depression and have a natural knack for life skills, career guidance and helping others adjust to "Adulting." I firmly believe in the connectivity to ourselves and our environment and utilize a Systems / Strength-Based approach, focusing on what can be accomplished rather than deficits. Working as a Psychotherapist at NOLA Adulting LLC, I am able to help in bridging the gap between what formal education has taught us and life experiences. High School has prepared us for solving the quadratic equation, running a mile under 10 minutes, and understanding that in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue, but we are not prepared on how to manage that feeling of emptiness we may experience post graduation and entering the workforce, setting appropriate boundaries in interpersonal relationships, or correct work email etiquette when we are fed up.
I am dedicated to fostering an environment where all individuals feel heard, understood, and respected. My approach emphasizes understanding clients’ unique narratives and supporting them in developing self-confidence and adaptive coping skills. I value both sharing my expertise and learning from the experiences of others, recognizing that therapy is a collaborative process involving mutual growth and insight. My therapeutic style incorporates appropriate use of humor, gentle yet constructive feedback, and a consistently approachable demeanor. Establishing a strong therapeutic alliance is my priority before engaging in more in-depth exploration of a client’s history and perspectives.
Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker and have over 18 years experience working with individuals and families. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and practical.

I have an array of experience working with diverse cultures, ethnicities, the LGBTQ community, survivors of narcissistic abuse, clients who have loved ones that are experiencing challenges with substance abuse, survivors of domestic violence, and various socio-economic backgrounds. In the beginning stages of my career, I worked with teenagers in foster care settings, alternative schools, and college students with disabilities. A few years later, I transitioned into working with adults and seniors in hospital settings, home health, hospice care, skilled nursing and assisted living facilities.
I am also a certified financial social worker, and by client request, am open to work with my clients on improving their financial health by addressing the emotional, behavioral, and psychological factors behind money management.
My primary language is English and my second language is Spanish (Intermediate level). I enjoy traveling, and learning other languages and cultures as well!

Welcome, and thank you for taking this important first step. My name is Arany Orellana, and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in the States of Florida, Oregon, and Washington State, with 20 years of experience supporting adults facing mental health challenges.

Hi, I'm Autumn Stanley, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida and Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oregon who works with adolescents, adults, and caregivers navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and neurodivergent experiences. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely seen, supported, and understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, helping you build practical tools while developing a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.
Hello! I’m so glad you took the first step to make meaningful change in your life. I’d love the opportunity to partner with you and learn about your strengths, struggles, and how we move forward together. I believe we all have the answers to the big questions in our lives, but sometimes we get stuck or need a non-judgmental perspective to help us.
As someone who grew up in a military family and is now a military spouse, I understand the unique lifestyle and challenges that military spouses face. As someone who has experienced grief and the loss of a loved one to cancer and a baby to miscarriage, I can empathize with loss and the waves of despair that grief can bring. I take an eclectic approach to therapy and aim to meet you wherever you are, drawing on your experiences and providing you with tools to help guide you toward your goals.
I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, major life transitions, caregiver responsibilities, chronic illness, grief and loss, aging, and unexpected change.
I bring a combination of clinical expertise, compassion, and real-world experience to my work. My background in hospital settings has given me extensive experience helping individuals and families cope with medical diagnoses, crisis situations, caregiving demands, health-related uncertainty, and significant life changes.
My experience as a military spouse has also shaped my understanding of transition, identity, uncertainty, and starting over. Military life often requires adjusting to change, rebuilding routines, navigating career and family shifts, and finding stability during unfamiliar seasons. That perspective allows me to connect not only with military families, but with anyone facing a major transition, feeling disconnected from who they once were, or trying to create a new sense of direction.
I have seen firsthand how resilient people can be, even during incredibly difficult seasons. These experiences have strengthened my ability to remain calm under pressure, provide compassionate support, and help clients find hope, build resilience, and develop practical strategies to move forward one step at a time.
Life transitions, grief, and loss can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to face them alone. In therapy, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel comfortable being open and vulnerable, while also finding the encouragement you need to move forward.
My approach blends empathic listening with practical planning, helping you draw on your strengths while working through challenges. I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to your unique needs—there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Together, we’ll identify what matters most to you and create a path toward the goals and peace you’re seeking.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, but will tailor my approach to meet your needs. I use lots of strange analogies, but they seem to help trigger new insights for people and help them to change unhelpful perspectives that they may have been holding on to for years. You will be afforded empathy and respect while we do this work. I challenge people with healthy confrontation if needed, but am also not afraid to use humor as little laughter can go a long way too.

I completed my Masters in 2005, while also starting my journey in the field in 2004. I spent a year working in Opiate addiction but my true passion was children and families. I moved on to intensive services, working with underserved children and their families in rural areas, from 2005-2007. After leaving that position, I moved onto a company doing similar work. where I continued to work with children, families and adults that were underserved for 5 more years. I provided therapy in homes, schools and the office setting. I began to focus in on Trauma work as well as anxiety disorders to include OCD and all other anxiety disorders. After spending nearly 10 years in the field, I decided to get my license in the state of Florida (LMHC-Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and move into a management role where I worked for the past 13 years while also maintaining private clients. I supervise therapists, working to become licensed, so I spend a lot of time consulting on cases of all kinds. In this time I was also trained in various forms of trauma based cognitive behavioral approaches as well as EMDR (still learning however).

Hi, I'm Ashley, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Reiki II practitioner. I believe that somewhere underneath the anxiety, the self-doubt, and the patterns that keep repeating, there is a version of you that already knows the way. My job isn't to fix you. It's to create a space steady enough that you can actually hear yourself. Together we get curious about the thoughts that won't quiet down, the emotions that feel bigger than the moment, the behaviors that keep showing up even when you don't want them to, and what all of it is actually trying to tell you. I utilize a holistic approach, bringing tools into our work that help you understand what's happening in your mind and body when you're overwhelmed, so you can actually do something about it instead of just surviving it. But more than any method or modality, I show up as a real person walking alongside you, trusting that you are the expert on your own life. If you're ready to listen to that wiser part of yourself and create meaningful change, I'd be honored to walk with you.
Hi! I'm glad you're here. There is no shame in reaching out for help, and you don't have to walk this journey alone. Starting therapy can often feel overwhelming, and it takes incredible courage to take the first steps toward healing. If you're experiencing anxiety or depression that feels like a persistent cloud and diminishes your sense of peace, I'm committed to helping you get your quality of life back. I am especially passionate about empowering trauma survivors to move past feeling stuck or defined by painful experiences. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting a diverse range of clients dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, shame, fear-based thinking, anger, grief and loss, and relationship challenges.
Hi, I’m Jerica, a licensed mental health counselor who offers therapy as a place to exhale, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. I help clients navigate identity shifts, trauma, burnout, life transitions, LGBTQ+ exploration, and religious deconstruction. I also support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, or general overwhelm. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative space that honors your full humanity, not just your symptoms or circumstances. Whether you're processing deep emotional wounds or simply trying to feel more like yourself again, I'll meet you where you are with compassion, curiosity, and respect.
