My name is Algelis Gonzalez, though I am commonly known as Al. My motivation to become a therapist stems from my personal journey. Growing up in a Latino culture, I developed a curiosity about people both within my community and beyond. This curiosity has driven me to understand the reasons behind our behaviors, both positive and negative. Throughout my career as a therapist, I continue to learn and grow, drawing from the vast knowledge available in the field. I am deeply committed to helping my clients embrace their true selves, regardless of their personality traits—whether they are humorous, quiet and shy, hesitant to trust, or feeling frustrated with the world. I believe that everyone is welcome in my practice. Recognizing that none of us are perfect and that we are all striving to make sense of life’s complexities, I focus on exploring my clients’ experiences with respect and understanding. My goal is to facilitate their growth in ways they may not have previously thought possible.

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels both supportive and collaborative. My goal is to provide a safe space where clients can process trauma, explore challenges, and build the skills they need to live more fully. I offer psychotherapy, therapeutic assessments, and specialized interventions designed to meet each client’s unique needs. Whether you are navigating life transitions, managing mental health concerns, or seeking greater clarity in your relationships, I aim to help you feel understood and empowered. As I often remind clients, our connection to the world is shaped by the people we engage with. Together, we can build on your existing strengths and experiences to create meaningful change and improve your quality of life. As an athlete, a family man, and a man of faith, I understand the challenges with adjusting to change associated with leaving a sport or career, you love, before you believe your time is up. I understand what it feels like to develop a bond and the challenges with sustaining such bonds. I also understand seeking growth spiritually when there’s so much temptation and triggers that seem to pull me away for my goals. With that, these experiences are what hopefully keep me humble, motivated, and grateful.

I’m Yshkeyna Hamilla (pronounced “EEsh-key-na Ha-mee-ya”), a whole-person-health woman therapist in East central Florida for 20+ years.

I'm skilled in a wide range of extremely successful therapies, especially the newer advanced ones that facilitate an easier, more successful life shift. These include everything from the old traditional CBT (changing your thinking = have different feelings), to NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming), A.R.T. (an eye movement therapy like EMDR, for easier, deeper, more rapid healing), Gestalt, Hypnotherapy, EFT, The Landmark Forum Advance courses, and guided meditations. I have also run recovery groups specializing in helping people from problems due to addiction in their family (self esteem, ACOA and codependency, etc.). In addition to being versed in many different therapeutic approaches over the last 20+ years, I am very holistic, integrating care and empowering your whole self- Mentally, Emotionally, Physically and Spiritually. As a therapist I have been described as kind, gentle, yet honest, insightful and direct, able to get to the heart of the matter and of what matters the most to you. Our work together can be amazingly encouraging, healing, freeing, and uplifting. Occasionally seeing humor & synchronicity in your life helps too.

Hello, I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with individuals and couples seeking healing, growth and restoration. I serve clients navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, physical illnesses and everyday life stressors. My goal is to provide a safe space in which my clients can feel heard, supported, validated, understood and empowered. My goal is to provide real world coping skills that will help my clients build confidence and create meaningful change.

Taking the first step to seek counseling can be challenging but also very empowering and rewarding at the same time. What I provide is a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to feel supported and heard. As a licensed mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience I have worked in various residential treatment centers, crisis and detox facilities, and hospitals in the community. My experience has equipped me with the knowledge to utilize a variety of treatment modalities and interventions to provide clients with the necessary tools they need to realize their full potential.

Welcome, I'm glad you're here! While I am relatively new to the Grow Therapy platform, I am a seasoned counselor with over 20 years of experience. I am a Licensed Mental Health counselor in the state of Florida and I am also a Certified Rehabilitation counselor. I have a masters degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Florida. I have specialized training and experience working with people who have disabilities such as medical/health, psychological, learning, physical, and sensory diagnoses. Taking the first step toward counseling can feel overwhelming, but it is also the beginning of building momentum for change. In my work with clients, I focus on creating a supportive and collaborative space where your experiences are heard and valued. Together, we’ll explore your challenges and strengths, using evidence-based approaches to transform insight into action. I believe that even small steps forward can create meaningful momentum, helping you move towards resilience, healing, and growth. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build the confidence and tools needed for lasting change. I offer virtual counseling to anywhere in Florida and offer flexible appointment times including evenings and weekends. I hope to meet with you soon! *In accordance with Florida ethical standards and to maintain appropriate therapeutic boundaries and role clarity, I am unable to accept adolescent clients involved in active custody disputes, parenting plan litigation, or reunification therapy.
