I am dedicated to helping you through your journey of discovering a better you, or perhaps, regaining the you that you may have lost through difficult times. I like to view life as a book. Like any book, our life has chapters. Some of these chapters are happy, some are sad, some have successes that we can be proud of, and some are chapters we would not want anyone else to ever read. It is true that we cannot go back and change these chapters, but we can learn and grow from them, and you know what? The next chapter is unwritten and waiting to be your best chapter yet!

Hello, I’m a bilingual Marriage and Family Therapist with over 7 years of experience. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds, understanding the challenges that arise from navigating different perspectives and references. I help clients address a variety of issues, including anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, addiction, and codependency, supporting them in achieving lasting change and recovery. My approach focuses on creating a therapeutic space centered around reflection, honesty, and emotional safety, where we can work together to overcome obstacles and reach your goals. Through the therapeutic relationship, I aim to create a safe space for deep listening and reflection, where we can explore how our connections with others, and experiences from our past, continue to shape our lives and decisions. Soy terapeuta individual y de familia, bilingüe, con más de 7 años de experiencia. Trabajo con personas, parejas y familias de distintas culturas, entendiendo los desafíos que aparecen al convivir con diferentes miradas, valores y formas de ver el mundo.

As someone who struggled with mental health in the past and sought out help, I have complete understanding and respect for anyone reaching out for assistance. The desire to help others after I was able to overcome struggles is what led me to counseling. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been counseling for ten years now. I have worked with all ages, from children younger than five, to older children, teenagers, and adults. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, parenting issues, family conflict and challenges, relationship issues, and all the different life changes that occur! My practice is a client-focused, person-centered, and humanistic approach. I believe that each person who enters counseling deserves to be understood with empathy, respect, and compassion, and I believe that your relationship and connection with your counselor is key to moving forward. It is our journey together to bring you to the place that you want to be. I use a person-centered talk therapy model with a variety of techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, strength-based approaches, and mindfulness approaches. I have unique experience specializing in using art therapy and other creative avenues and techniques. I also have a specialty in play therapy specifically to work with younger ages, as well as expertise in behavior management, parenting support, and family therapy.

With over 30 years of public service and a strong foundation in military and clinical care, I bring deep experience, compassion, and understanding to my work as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My journey began in the U.S. military, where I served as a medic in hospitals and clinics across the country. There, I witnessed firsthand the impact of trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges—an experience that inspired my lifelong dedication to helping others heal. Following my service, I spent over two decades in crisis intervention, responding to and supporting individuals in crisis. These years reinforced my belief that empathy, patience, and listening can change lives.

Hi, I'm Stephen Marley, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 34 years of experience helping adults and couples navigate life's most challenging seasons. I work with people experiencing anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, life transitions, caregiving stress, burnout, and the feeling that somewhere along the way, they've lost themselves. Many of the people I work with are used to being the dependable one. They're the person everyone else relies on at work, at home, or in their family. They keep showing up, taking care of responsibilities, and pushing through—even when they're overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure how much longer they can keep doing it. Others come to therapy because they're struggling in their relationship, grieving a significant loss, or trying to find their footing after retirement, an empty nest, a career change, or another major life transition. My approach is straightforward, practical, and conversational. Therapy shouldn't feel like you're talking to a stranger who simply nods while you do all the work. We'll have honest conversations, explore what's keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools you can use in your everyday life. I tailor therapy to your unique situation because no two people walk through my virtual door with the same story or the same goals. Whether you're looking to strengthen your relationship, better manage anxiety, process grief, or regain a sense of direction, my goal is to help you understand what's happening, why it's happening, and what you can do about it. I want you to leave each session with greater clarity, confidence, and practical strategies you can begin using right away. Everything is figure-outable.

I believe that one of the most important parts of therapy is the relationship you have with your therapist. Feeling safe, understood, and supported makes real healing possible. I work with young adults healing from childhood trauma and PTSD, and with individuals navigating major life changes related to medical conditions or aging. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence based practices to help you better understand yourself, build resilience, and regain a sense of control. Therapy isn’t about “just getting over it.” It’s about making sense of your experiences and learning how to move forward in a way that feels right for you. If you’re ready to start, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I am a therapist and a mother of three children, which gives me both professional and personal insight into the challenges individuals and families face. My work is grounded in supporting clients through real-life stressors with empathy, patience, and practical tools for change. I have several years of experience working with children and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD, as well as supporting those involved in crisis situations and the child welfare system. I value creating a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard and supported while also being encouraged to take active steps toward growth and healing. I am passionate about helping others build resilience, improve their quality of life, and feel more confident in managing life’s challenges. Fun fact: I often incorporate simple, everyday strategies from therapy into daily life—because sometimes the smallest mindset shifts can make the biggest difference.

I am caring, compassionate, and a very good listener. I am a Christian, wife of a Veteran, mother, and grandmother. My heritage is Caribbean-American. I grew up in South Florida with four sisters and two brothers. I was very independent at a very young age and willing to help out wherever. I am a musician starting with piano in elementary school, then clarinet in middle school, and bass clarinet and bassoon in high school. I love music and find it beneficial in every aspect of life. I decided to grow my family before pursuing a career. I decided to pursue a career in the mental health field because of a family member being diagnosed with a severe mental health disorder. I earned my AA in Psychology, then a dual degree in Psychology and Behavioral Science. After my undergrad, I went on to receive my master's in social work. I have worked with Veterans, homeless, hospice, young adults, children, elders, couples and individuals with severe mental health diagnoses. In my pursuit to help my family member, I became even more passionate about mental health and reducing the negative stigma attached to it. This passion I share with everyone I encounter.

I am a therapist who provides a supportive, collaborative, and goal-oriented space for adults and older adults. For more than 10 years, I have worked with older adults across a variety of settings, helping individuals navigate life transitions, aging-related challenges, emotional stress, health concerns, grief, and changes in independence or relationships. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the unique emotional and practical needs that can arise throughout adulthood and later life. I focus on helping clients build coping skills, strengthen resilience, and improve overall well-being while creating a space where they feel heard, respected, and empowered. My goal is to help clients make meaningful progress, improve daily functioning, and feel more confident in managing life’s challenges.

Striving to find joy during these uncertain times? Struggling to be kind to yourself or others? Difficulties keeping up with your relationships, work, and health? Allow me to walk alongside you as we work through these challenges together. I will empower you to identify and achieve your goals through a client-centered, humanistic approach tailored to your needs. My background includes clients working through issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, guilt, fears, self-esteem, career/school and life uncertainties, and those just looking for an empathetic ear to listen. While I stay up-to-date and offer the current and most effective evidence-based modalities, including CBT, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based therapies, I believe the therapeutic relationship between us is the most valuable tool. Together, we will craft and develop the best plan for your needs. Join me in a completely safe, judgement-free and confidential space to share, heal, smile, grow, succeed, and become your best self. No better time than the present to create your desired future.

I’m Cynthia Roberts, Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon. I have been serving clients ages 13-80 for the past 31 years. It has been my pleasure to work with clients as they become Aware and Mindful of unresolved issues. With kindness, compassion and understanding I seek to provide my clients with effective coping strategies, improving their mental health and wellness.

I've been a clinician for over 25 years, providing evidence-based clinical counseling and clinical hypnosis to those impacted by grief and loss, life changing events, relationship issues, anxiety and stress. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults and specialize in Military and family life issues. We all struggle sometimes. I like to help you build a self help toolbox to cope when life presents us with unexpected situations or events. My goal is to help you help yourself, but also know when to reach out for help if you need to. I want to humanize and normalize situations and events that set us back a bit. I provide a safe place to share difficult situations without judgement. You matter!

The “traditional office” approach is not one that I use. We have the option of meeting in an outdoor environment, in places like the beach or a park, if you are within the Palm Beach County area. And there is always the option to meet in a virtual office setting though Telehealth. I believe therapy can and should have a place in our everyday lives. I am trained in CBT, ACT, Mindfulness and trauma informed approaches.

Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. I received my Masters from McGill University. I have been practicing for 25 years.

I look forward to working together and supporting your growth and well being.

Hi, I'm Melanie! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of experience as a clinician in a variety of settings. Whether you need to work through some heavy stuff from the past that's been weighing you down or you just want to process some day-to-day work or relationship stress, therapy can be a major step in the right direction toward self-care! Prior to starting my private practice I was working for the Veterans Health Administration and I remain passionate about continuing to be an advocate for Veterans to educate them about and link them to resources and services that are available to them.

Feeling invisible, disconnected, or emotionally numb? You're not alone. As a licensed mental health counselor, many of my clients are overwhelmed with balancing societal expectations with personal and cultural values. Others carry the weight of childhood or intergenerational trauma. Some struggle with feelings of impostor syndrome in their careers and academically. Many struggle to cultivate healthy relationships, both with themselves and others.

If you recently lost coverage or had an insurance change, I currently have openings and can discuss options. My mission is to empower individuals to navigate life’s challenges with resilience, clarity, and confidence. I take a holistic, client-centered approach rooted in the biopsychosocial model—addressing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and environment to support lasting well-being. Drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), I tailor each treatment plan to meet the unique needs of the person in front of me. I am also actively pursuing certification in Mind-Body Medicine through the Center for Mind Body Medicine and frequently integrate these techniques—such as meditation, guided imagery, and breathwork—into sessions to support emotional balance and self-regulation. With extensive training in geriatric assessment, I have a deep passion for working with older adults, helping them maintain cognitive and emotional vitality in later life. As a certified clinical supervisor with the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners, I am also committed to mentoring and developing the next generation of compassionate, skilled social workers. Above all, I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.

Hi, I’m Brooke. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with teens, adults, and couples navigating life transitions, relationships, and personal growth. Many of my clients are high-achieving, insightful, and driven, yet at times feel stuck, disconnected, unsure of their next step, or think therapy is not for them. Others see me because their usual coping skills aren’t working anymore, and deep down, you know something has to change. I help you find relief, clarity, and peace, whether therapy is new to you or you've tried before and felt it didn’t help.

I’m Joseph Contes, but many call me “Joe”, and if you want you can too. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor, and founder of Crosscurrent Health. My approach to therapy is grounded, thoughtful, and collaborative, with a focus on helping people feel understood while building practical tools for lasting change. I work with children ages 8 and up, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity development, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Over the years, I have worked across a wide range of clinical settings including crisis services, emergency psychiatry, community mental health, correctional environments, and higher education. Those experiences have shaped the way I approach therapy today: calm, adaptable, and centered on meeting people where they are without judgment. I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I believe therapy works best when it feels like a steady, genuine partnership rather than a one-size-fits-all process. My work integrates evidence-based approaches including CBT, CPT, TF-CBT, and family-focused interventions while remaining flexible to each person’s needs, strengths, and goals. I also provide LGBTQIA+ affirming care and strive to create a space where clients feel emotionally safe, respected, and empowered to explore their experiences openly. At the heart of my work is the belief that growth happens when clarity meets support. Whether someone is working through past experiences, managing current stressors, or trying to reconnect with themselves and others, my goal is to help them move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and steadiness through life’s crosscurrents.

You have come here to start exploring ways to cope with your situation. Having sacrificed so much time for others, you are finally ready to start focusing on you. You want to explore what it is you need in order to feel fulfilled and satisfied with your life. You aspire to have peace and you are ready to start the work. It is time for you to be happy. My experience began with Family Services of Greater New Orleans in the year 2000. I worked with individuals of all ages, couples, and families. Throughout my career, I have provided therapy for individuals, couples and families and I have a total 22 years of experience as a clinical therapist. I enjoy the work that I do and I am thankful to be able to help people live better lives. My clients have described me as attentive, thoughtful, focused, caring and compassionate. I have been told that I am a great listener and skillful in applying the right techniques that elicit growth and change.

Hi I am Tammy. There are times life becomes difficult. Obstacles present themselves and you just need guidance on how to overcome or cope with them.

You are welcome to contact me, so we can start a journey of healing.

Hello and welcome! I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in Florida, Alabama, and South Carolina.

My journey into therapy comes from a deep, lifelong calling to help others. With over a decade of experience in social work, I’m honored to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing and growth.

Hello, friends. Are you emotionally exhausted due to ongoing conflicts in life? Moreover, are you utterly overwhelmed while trying to secure a meaningful connection with family or loved ones? If so, you are not alone. Several children maintain the notion that "parents just don't understand." Conversely, many parents believe their children are mentally and emotionally disconnected from family. If this sounds like your case. . .I am extending my "virtual" hand. Let us work together to overcome issues that have long stopped you and your family from being happy, healthy, and whole. My name is Dr. Austin, LCSW, and I assist children and families in their efforts to create a communal living environment where families thrive, not merely survive. I believe in establishing a safe, judgment-free therapeutic setting where all are treated with unconditional positive regard.

Is it hard to practice self care and self compassion? I can help you manage stress, anxiety, fears and more. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance.

In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hurdles.

All of us spend moments in those spaces where we haven’t a clue. Experiences of spinning, overwhelming emotions. We’ve all been there. There is comfort in having a safe space to break down the chaos, a moment to breathe. A place of empathy where we are heard and able to experience acceptance. I want to support you on the journey to discovering the authentic and simple steps leading to your courageous self. You are capable, connected, deserving, and valuable. You are more powerful than you know. There’s surviving, there’s living, and there’s living beautifully. Let’s leap into your beautiful life.

I am a mental health therapist who believes healing starts with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where people can show up exactly as they are-without judgement-and work toward meaningful change at their own pace. My approach is compassionate, client-centered and trauma informed, and I focus on helping people build up practical coping skills while also understanding the deeper experiences that shape their lives.
