Hi, I’m Philip Crouse, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. My clinical background is rooted in high-acuity environments, meaning I am highly experienced in helping individuals navigate complex crises, severe anxiety, deep depression, and the heavy weight of addiction and trauma.

If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or buried by recent life events, my goal is to help you find air to breathe right now. I don't believe in just sitting and nodding while you vent; therapy should be active. We will work collaboratively using practical, evidence-based tools—like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused techniques—to dismantle unhelpful behavioral loops and build immediate, actionable coping strategies.

I operate from a strictly trauma-informed framework. This means I understand that safety and nervous system stabilization are the prerequisites for any real healing, and your autonomy and pace are always my top priorities.

Whether you are navigating intense grief, the pressure of a major life transition, or the ongoing impact of past trauma, I provide a grounded, non-judgmental space where you are seen as a resilient survivor. Together, we can shift from just talking about the problem to actively building the functional, manageable life you deserve.

Sometimes our thoughts and feelings can make us feel like they're "running the show." It’s common for life to get busy, new experiences to come into the mix, and for our old coping strategies to come back. As your therapist,  I use EMDR, the Flash Technique, DBT, and attachment techniques to help you process what’s happened and learn skills for handling tough emotions. My approach is practical and straightforward, with room for humor and honesty, so you can focus on what matters most to you! These patterns, however they show up, are usually survival responses that have overstayed their welcome. When your nervous system stays on high alert, it’s hard to feel in control of your reactions and to move comfortably throughout the world. I focus on helping you process so that you can better know yourself and achieve lasting peace.



Liam Thomas Mugavin

Hi, I'm David Hobbs. I’ve been practicing as a licensed psychologist for more than 25 years, primarily utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy as an effective tool to treat anxiety and depression. As these can be emotionally debilitating conditions, addressing these issues can improve one’s sense of well-being, and thus their lives in general, dramatically. For the past 5 years, I have incorporated spirituality into my treatment regimen, thus addressing that  aspect of one's personality in relation to improving their overall sense of emotional well-being. I have recently authored a book, "God is Love, Revelations From Spiritually Transformative Experiences," to help enlighten others  who have questions about God and spirituality, and incorporate these lessons into their everyday  lives.

David Hobbs

Hello!

I'm Jim, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in both Florida and Connecticut.  I'd like to support you in building the life you imagine!

Life can be happy, joyous, and fulfilling.  However, life can also be challenging at times.  Challenges may involve external situations which we're currently facing, they may be internal struggles involving our feelings and thoughts, or both.  During these challenging times, it is often beneficial to work with an empathetic, supportive, and knowledgeable therapist who will assist you in taking the steps necessary to deal with such challenges effectively and move forward with your life.

I have 14 years of experience as a therapist working with adolescents, adults, and seniors dealing with a variety of issues.  I have worked as a therapist in a nonprofit outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment agency, treating clients with depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders.  As a primary therapist in an inpatient substance abuse treatment facility, I have supported clients as they begin their journeys of sobriety and recovery.  I have also assisted patients and family members facing end-of-life issues as a home hospice social worker.

I want to know if you are tired of feeling anxious or depressed, you've tried, but nothing has helped, it just keeps spiraling? Do you feel confused and conflicted, maybe feeling like you need to change but have no idea how? Are you feeling stressed about a job, a relationship, not having a social life, or like you're functioning at a low level? Are you experiencing mood swings, in relapse mode, or struggling with post traumatic stress? Acknowledging the situation was the first step, that is self-awareness. Now making the decision to seek guidance because you haven't healed or changed on your own, is the second step. You've made progress already.

I specialize in helping you decide what you need, what you want, and finding out how to make the changes that will open doors for the new you. We walk part of your path together; I may be your guide but you are the driver. I take a holistic, solution-focused approach, focused on what you need in your life right now. I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a modality that helps clients quickly make changes by accessing the deep roots that keep the negative and painful emotions alive. We access what lies beneath the thoughts and words, making changes in the emotional brain; by the end of the session, you feel empowered, happy, light-hearted. 

Lisa Lionelli

Hello!

Do you ever feel like "you are losing your mind" or "going crazy"?  Do you feel like you want to share your feelings with someone but are scared or ashamed, or feeling like you should be able to "fix" your problems?

Well, I think most people feel this way from time to time and it helps to have an objective, non-judgemental person to talk with.

I am that person.  I have been  a psychotherapist for over 30 years and love to help people become the healthiest and happiest person that they can be.  And, I would love to help you explore your issues in a safe and comfortable manner. 

Whatever issues you have, be it anxiety, depression, PTSD, abuse, addiction, I am here to help you overcome what is keeping you from being the person that you want to be.

Christine Adkins

Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been practicing for several years. I work with children, teens, and young adults who are navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and empowered to build healthier coping skills, improve communication, and develop greater self-awareness. Together, we work toward feeling more confident, connected, and emotionally balanced.

Mariajose Guerra

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck—unsure how to manage strong emotions or handle challenging situations with confidence.

My name is Clint, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in Florida and Alabama. I specialize in helping adults who feel emotionally exhausted, struggle with self-doubt, or feel trapped in negative thought patterns. Often, feeling overwhelmed comes from believing you have to control every emotion or handle every challenge perfectly.

In therapy, I help clients learn how to accept difficult emotions as a natural part of life rather than something to fear or avoid. Together, we work on identifying and challenging negative self-talk, building healthier coping skills, and developing the self-confidence needed to navigate difficult emotions and challenging life situations with greater clarity and resilience.

My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you feel more capable—not just in the moment, but long term. Therapy is not about having all the answers right away; it’s about creating space to better understand yourself and respond to life with more confidence and self-compassion.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. The first session is simply a chance for us to talk, explore what’s been weighing on you, and see if working together feels like the right fit—without pressure or expectations.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to support you.

Life can feel heavy sometimes—and trying to hold it all together gets exhausting. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, you’re not alone. I help adults work through anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship challenges in a way that feels real, supportive, and actually helpful. My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all—we focus on what you need and what works in your day-to-day life. No pressure, no judgment—just a space to process, gain clarity, and move forward. My goal is simple: help you feel more like yourself again, but stronger, more confident, and in control.

Jesabel Bergouignan

With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about supporting adults and couples as they navigate life’s transitions and pursue meaningful growth. Whether you are a college student or recent graduate adjusting to a new season of life, an individual facing anxiety or depression, or a couple preparing for marriage or working to strengthen your relationship, I strive to provide guidance that feels both supportive and practical.

My Christian faith shapes my personal values; however, I work with people from all backgrounds and beliefs. Faith-based perspectives are incorporated into counseling only if a client specifically desires it.

My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing and work toward the emotional and personal goals that matter most to you.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing life changes, including college and post-college transitions, relationship challenges, marriage and premarital preparation, and parenting. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and stress that often accompany these seasons of change. My background as a behavioral specialist in community mental health allows me to effectively support adults diagnosed with ADHD or autism spectrum disorder, as well as parents raising children with these diagnoses.

In my work with couples, I draw from my experience as a trained Prepare/Enrich facilitator to help partners strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and build healthier, more connected relationships.

When working with individuals, I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My focus is on equipping you with practical tools and strategies so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.

Lets awaken a new you! Its time to make yourself a priority. I understand the process that many go through to find a better way to live. I know how hard it can be thinking that there’s no way out of the “mess.” I have found my love and passion for helping others find a way out. There are many different paths  to get back in control, and I can help you find the path that works for you! 

I am Kiera Cordiano, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have been working in mental health for 15 years. I have experience working with many different areas of concern, but areas of focus include helping men and women that struggle with anxiety, depression, self esteem, self worth, codependency, substance use, relationship issues, motherhood, and professional growth and development. I cant wait to help you achieve your goals!

Kiera Cordiano

Do you feel overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or like you’re constantly pushing through stress without actually feeling better?

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside, but internally dealing with anxiety, burnout, or patterns that keep repeating in their lives or relationships.

I provide a supportive but structured space where we focus on understanding what’s driving these challenges and building practical tools to help you feel more in control.

My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, so you leave sessions with strategies you can apply in your day-to-day life—not just something to think about.

If you’re ready to move forward and start making real changes, I’m here to help.

Ron DeBruine

Painful experiences often lead people to develop protective strategies to manage overwhelming emotions. These strategies may appear as perfectionism, emotional avoidance, anger toward loved ones, or repeated involvement in unhealthy relationships. While they can offer temporary relief, they often create disconnection from oneself and others, contributing to feelings of loneliness, shame, anxiety, and depression.

I am dedicated to helping individuals strengthen their sense of self worth and process traumatic experiences that contribute to insecure attachment and unhelpful patterns. I believe that although emotional wounds often occur within relationships, healing also takes place through safe and supportive connection. With compassion, courage, and a willingness to explore difficult experiences, meaningful and lasting change is possible. Healing can happen, and there is always hope.

I am a licensed psychologist in Florida with over twenty-five years of experience with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of mood disorders, parenting problems, behavior, and relationship issues. I have conducted evaluations for Social Security Disability and the Department of Children and Families as well as custody Parental Evaluations for families and the court system. I am trained in Collaborative Law divorce mediation to help families focus on the best interest of their children through those difficult circumstances. Working with patients that are having difficulties making life adjustments as life becomes more complex is what I enjoy the most because we all can become more adaptable and develop new skills and techniques to help us cope more effectively. I have worked with patients suffering with and recovering from significant medical issues including COPD, CVA, TBI, cancer, diabetes, COVID, and physical injury, assisting them in regaining strength and independence and being able to return home following inpatient rehabilitation intervention. Many people I work with are first responders, have PTSD, or are suffering from Acute Stress Disorder following a trauma.

My therapy style varies according to the issues presented, and my role as a psychologist is not to judge but to treat people as individuals and provide needed support. I use cognitive-behavioral and reality therapy and am very much in-line with the humanistic approach in all client care. I prefer to be solution-focused and to provide clients with valuable tools that they can use in the future as needed. Decision making strategies and techniques are emphasized. I provide supportive therapy and try to aid in empowering patients in taking confident, measured steps toward where they want to be next in their life path.

Dr.Dulal AlGhuraibi

My name is Flemens Casimir, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with four years of experience providing counseling services to individuals from diverse backgrounds and demographics. In addition to my work in general mental health, I also have extensive experience in substance abuse treatment, supporting clients who struggle with addiction and co-occurring disorders. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is enhancing my ability to support clients in addressing trauma that often contributes to ongoing mental health and substance use challenges.
My therapeutic philosophy emphasizes meeting clients where they are in their current stage of life. I approach counseling with authenticity, empathy, and a commitment to being nonjudgmental, because I believe that when someone seeks mental health support, the last thing they should encounter is judgment. My goal is to create a safe and collaborative environment where clients feel empowered and respected as they work toward healing and growth.

Are you feeling stuck—trapped in cycles of self-blame? Do your relationships feel disconnected or fall short of the depth and quality you desire? As a specialist in EMDR therapy, I help individuals heal from the root causes of emotional pain, including depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, and trauma. EMDR can shift the narrative you've been living, helping you build empowered self-esteem and develop more adaptive, resilient thought patterns—replacing racing, draining thoughts with clarity and calm. Through grounding and coping skills, you’ll gain the authentic pause needed to reclaim your life. It’s time to bloom. You deserve to thrive.


Jennifer (Dash) Morris

Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily obligations? Do you find yourself having difficulty focusing? Maybe you find yourself thinking you’re not good enough or feel like an imposter. Feeling things are out of your control, the tension in your body, the feeling you can’t possibly get everything done without disappointing others and you want relief now. Anxiety can be debilitating. Those racing thoughts that feel uncontrollable do not have to be the main character in your life. I look forward to teaching you the strategies that will give you your life back.

We’ll start by untangling your thoughts and feelings so you can gain clarity. By practicing acceptance, you can focus on taking actionable steps that move you towards your goals that align with your values. You'll develop effective coping strategies and thus gain resilience so you are better able to manage your stress no matter what comes your way.

Life brings many challenges so your feelings are valid. I will actively listen to your needs and create a safe and supportive environment for you to freely share your concerns. I am here to provide guidance, support, and understanding.  I hope to meet with you so we can work together placing you on the path towards mental well being.

My name is Michael Hutchinson - though I go by Hutch - and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. I have been working in the field of mental health since 2012, and actively practicing with individuals, couples, and groups since 2018. At the core of my practice is a constructivist approach, treating individuals as experts on themselves as we work to apply the theories of change I endorse to create meaningful/ values-congruent improvements wherever indicated.  In my individual work I aim to scaffold skills, concepts, and techniques to ensure that distress is resolved and change is promoted across any number of domains of life. I strive to promote self-determination, and to develop the perspective that all emotions are carriers of information that deserve proactive plans or reassurance through context.

Michael Hutchinson

Narcissists weaponize by their reactivity.  If you do something they don't like they make you feel guilty. Guilt is associated with having done something wrong and the guilt is the glue that holds these relationships together.  I work with clients who suffer from narcissistic abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma.  Ive had the pleasure of helping  my clients gain awareness  and heal from trauma.  In addition I also provide supervision for licensure.

Melanie Antones

Struggling with addiction can feel isolating—but you don’t have to face it alone. Whether you are dealing with substance use, alcohol dependence, or trying to make sense of repeated relapses, I offer a space where you can be honest, understood, and supported without judgment.

With over 15 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) in Florida, I’ve worked alongside individuals at every stage of recovery. I understand how complex addiction is—and how much strength it takes to ask for help.

I specialize in working with people navigating addiction, trauma, mental health challenges, and major life transitions. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care to support meaningful, lasting change. I believe therapy works best when it’s a collaborative process—where your voice is valued and your goals guide the work we do together.

I also bring a personal understanding of the recovery process, which allows me to meet clients with both clinical expertise and authentic empathy. Whether you’re newly sober, returning to recovery, or just starting to question your relationship with substances, you’ll be met with compassion, honesty, and real support every step of the way.

I have experience helping people with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, bereavement, loss, family/relationship conflicts, self-harm, anger management, parenting, child welfare system, foster care, adoption, school transitions, divorce, abortion, survivors of narcissism, career changes, stigmatized experiences and other major life changes.

I can assist you identify patterns and help break the multigenerational trauma cycle and create new patterns to help you find fulfillment in your life.

I love working with people from all ages and walks of life. Therapy goes at your pace and readiness for challenges.

I gladly make accommodations as requested. I will ensure you have a safe space to process and complete the work that needs to be done to make therapy successful. Non-traditional beliefs, ideas, and experiences are welcomed to be explored without judgment or pressure to conform. In fact, some the most rewarding therapy sessions for my clients have been discussing unique philosophies that are contrary to popular opinion and culture.

I pride myself in maintaining a strong work ethic, staying well organized, focused and applying strong self-care interventions. I work 3 jobs, 7 days a week, morning until night. I will do my absolute best to ensure our sessions begin and end on time. However, due to the nature of this career, there are occassions where I may be delayed with another person to evaluate for additional interventions (therapists are mandated reporters in Florida). Please keep this in mind when considering mental health services. If delays do occur, I apologize in advance. I will make sure you receive the best therapeutic services possible.

I listen to my clients and their needs to gain an understanding of their perspectives and presenting issues. The way I tailor sessions depends on the particular client, issues, and needs. Different clients require different methods. I am open, honest, empathetic and non-judgmental, but also tell it like it is. 

Chiquita Washington

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in painful patterns that make it hard to manage daily life, relationships, or your sense of self-worth. Sometimes these struggles are tied to current life challenges, and other times they are connected to earlier experiences that continue to affect how you feel, relate to others, and respond to stress today. Therapy can help you better understand what is going on and begin making meaningful changes.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) speaking licensed psychotherapist and the author of Healing Childhood Trauma. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, and relationship difficulties. I help clients explore the patterns that may be keeping them stuck while building healthier ways of coping, relating, and moving through daily life. 

Please note: I accept insurance for individual therapy; however, specialized couples counseling and family therapy are offered exclusively on a private-pay basis.

My approach is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. I work with respect for your pace and aim to create a space where you can better understand your experiences, work through emotional pain, and build more secure patterns in your life and relationships.

You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I support you through this process with the goal of helping you feel more secure, more confident, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges. When you feel ready to begin, I invite you to schedule our first session today.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, offering in-person and telehealth therapy. Many of the people I work with have been holding everything together for a long time and are realizing it’s finally time to prioritize their own well-being and put themselves first.

I specialize in working with trauma survivors, depression and anxiety, and individuals in recovery from addiction.

This experience has shaped a grounded, trauma-informed approach that meets people with care, steadiness, and respect for the complexity of their experiences.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and paced to your nervous system. Therapy with me focuses on helping you find relief from pain and anxiety while building a sense of safety that allows for deeper healing. Together, we work toward greater self-understanding and the ability to build a life that feels steadier, more meaningful, and aligned with who you are becoming.

Clint Ross

Hello there, my name is Mariana, and I am here to help you reach your goals.  Working in the Mental health, and substance use field for the past 14 years has taught me healing does not necessarily come from one path. Based on the positive outcomes and feedback with those I have treated, I use an integrative healthcare approach, I assess the whole person including body, mind, and spirit in the context of community, considering lifestyle and habits; I work by looking at the whole person, not just symptoms.  This leads us to being able to identify and to work on the challenges experienced through a lifetime. 

I believe that wellbeing is a general state of "contentment" with life and the way things are.   In this state of contentment, we experience a sense of balance and connection to a purpose.   In my practice I explore with you the main areas of wellbeing and the blockages that have been impeding you to reach your best. I see therapy as a teamwork between you and me in where you share your own experiences and I provide my clinical expertise to implement an individualized plan that works for you. 

I can provide therapy in Spanish or English. I work mainly using tele therapy in the state of Florida.  I am a psychologist in Colombia, South America, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida.  I am also certified to work with trauma, and hold a certification to diagnose and treat personality disorders. I am also a qualified supervisor for graduate students seeking to obtain their master’s degree in mental health.

If you still have other questions about therapy or want to know more about me and my professional approach, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss further 

Mariana Perez

My professional path began in high-pressure corporate environments where performance, long hours, and responsibility were expected. After more than two decades in complex global organizations — earning an MBA from George Washington University and completing postgraduate work at Emory University — I saw firsthand how chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, and unresolved trauma can destabilize both professional and personal life.

For the past seven years, I have provided psychotherapy in psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment programs, Drug Court, and private practice settings. A significant portion of my training involved delivering intensive trauma therapy within a court-supervised program, working with individuals experiencing PTSD, substance use disorders, anger issues, and significant life disruption. That environment required structure, mutual accountability, and advanced emotional regulation skills. It also required the disciplined application of evidence-based trauma treatments while maintaining psychological safety in high-intensity situations.

I specialize in helping adults work through trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, and relationship strain — particularly when the life they have built no longer feels sustainable or aligned with who they want to become.

James Trinnaman

Life can be very stressful and overwhelming at times. We may find ourselves feeling stuck, disconnected, anxious or unsure of how to move forward in our relationships, career, family life, or sense of purpose.You don't have to navigate these challenges alone.  As a licensed mental health therapist with over 25 years of experience, I am dedicated to supporting individuals, families , and couples as they work through life transitions, emotional struggles, and relationship difficulties.  I have extensive experience working with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance abuse, and couples dynamics. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded. I feel therapy works best when clients feel safe, respected, and truly heard. I integrate evidence-based therapeutic practices while tailoring each session to the client's unique goal and needs. My wish is to help the client build insight, strengthen resilience, and move toward meaningful change. It is very important for me to provide a supportive, safe and non-judgmental environment to assist clients in feeling comfortable , supported, and free to share at their own pace.

Going through a change can be very tough and hard to navigate.  Whether the changes are good or difficult, they can still be hard to work through.  I can help you find a balance with the changes occurring in your life and the peace you hope to feel.  Together we can work as a team to locate solutions to find acceptance and work out a plan to help you move forward in your life in a way that brings fulfillment.  

I use a whole self-approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit.  Although I can help you work through most changes you might be experiencing, I have many year's experience working with individuals in the Hospice setting, helping patients and survivors find peace during the end of life with dignity. These experiences have been strengthened by my personal journey with breast cancer, which has given me a perspective on the other side.  

I hope I can use my 30 plus years' experience as a therapist and my personal experience as a cancer survivor to help you learn how to find happiness and peace in your life.

👋 Hi, I’m Don Patton, I’m a licensed mental health therapist specializing in substance use, co-occurring mental health conditions, and the patterns that keep people stuck despite wanting to change. My background is primarily in residential treatment, where I’ve worked closely with individuals in early recovery navigating high risk transitions, emotional instability, and repeated relapse cycles.

That experience has shaped how I approach therapy. I’ve seen firsthand that insight alone is not enough. Many of the people I work with are intelligent, self-aware, and capable, but continue to struggle when it comes to applying that awareness in real-life situations. My work is focused on closing that gap.

I tend to be direct, structured, and practical in session. I will challenge thinking patterns that are keeping you stuck; while also helping you build tools that are realistic and usable outside of therapy. At the same time, I understand that change requires trust, consistency, and a space where you can be honest without judgment.

My goal is not just to help you understand yourself better, it’s to help you create measurable, sustainable change in how you think, respond, and move forward.
