Therapists in Florida

Ever since I was a little girl, I felt the need to help others; making a positive change in someone else’s life brought immense joy to my life. Coming from an immigrant family with limited resources, I joined the military to achieve my educational goals. While in the military, I moved a lot and had the opportunity to meet people from different cultures, backgrounds, and religions. I learned how our differences make us unique, interesting, and just wonderful. However, these differences sometimes create conflict on the inside and also on the outside. For this reason, I decided to become a social worker and help make a positive change in the world, one person at a time. It is so hard to try to tell your life story to a stranger, but just know I'm here to help you find the strength you thought you lost but is just hiding deep in you. We will work together to help you achieve your goals. Spanish: Es my dificil contarle su historia a un estrano, pero yo estoy aqui para ayudarle a encontrar su fuerza interior para mejorar.

Do you feel like you need to work out some of your thoughts and feelings? Are you not sure where to start? Hi! I'm Chelsea and I know that feeling all too well. In my therapy practice, I utilize an egalitarian approach while working with people. This means that the therapist and the client are the experts of their own experience. I believe we each bring preconceptions and values into the relationship and these core values can help strengthen trust. I’m, in general, curious about people and who they are; so I LOVE hearing about interests or hobbies or anything that relates to a person’s individuality. I incorporate harm reduction and motivational interviewing within my work. I believe that people are conduits to change and change is dependent on motivation and readiness. I think it is okay if someone is not ready or is not sure if they are ready; we all start somewhere! I enjoy watching people evolve and grow into their authentic selves; which includes knowing who they are and what they value. I value self-awareness and introspection, for myself, and want to help others on their path to their wellness.

It’s not weakness, it’s your mind and body asking for something deeper. I work with professionals who want more than just coping strategies.

Hi! My name is Noor. I am warm, empathic, perceptive, and wise. I have worked with a diverse range of clients over half a decade, helping them each to find a unique pathway towards healing and wholeness. For each person, this has looked different, whether it's processing deep grief or heartbreak, learning to forgive one's self or another, discovering a core sense of worth (again), unearthing a buried sense of power, learning to say “No”, asserting fundamental needs, upgrading to healthy coping mechanisms, healing from traumas (small or big), or evolving out of self-sabotage. We each have our own afflictions and unique "cross to bear." I can help you feel less alone in holding yours. Specifically, I specialize in supporting clients struggling with issues of worth, belonging, grief, forgiveness, heartbreak, relationship & communication challenges, God wounds, burnout, managing chronic health issues, and inner child work. I attune to each client's individual needs and personalize my service to meet you exactly where you are at. My approach is human and relational. Therapy with me won’t feel clinical or formulaic. I work holistically, paying attention to your emotions, your body, and the deeper parts of you asking for integration and care. I also carry a depathologizing lens — I don’t view you as a diagnosis, in which something is "wrong" with you, but as a whole person with an important, meaningful story to share.

For those who desire it, I’m able to integrate a Christian perspective into our work together. Whether it’s drawing strength from faith, exploring spiritual questions, or grounding our sessions in biblical principles, I honor and support each client’s individual beliefs and values. Healing is a deeply personal journey, and I believe that with the right support, you can overcome what feels impossible today. Together, we’ll work to ease the weight of anxiety or depression, develop meaningful coping strategies, and help you reconnect with hope, purpose, and inner peace.

I specialize in working with individuals with clients experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Trauma, Narcissistic Abuse, Codependency and Borderline Personality features. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I help clients to overcome anxiety and fear by identifying and transforming ineffective behaviors, habits and beliefs that may keep them stuck. I believe that each person holds the power to create meaningful change, and my role is to guide and support you as you find new ways to live a more balanced and fulfilling life. If you’re struggling to cope with Depression, Grief, or any other mental disorder I can help you navigate these feelings and offer a path forward. I’m passionate about my clients and their well-being. I am committed to helping them “cross the bridge” from pain to safety and empowerment. I also enjoy participating in workshops, speaking engagements, webinars, and podcasts. If you’re interested in scheduling a consultation with me, please send an appointment request.
