Life isn't always beautiful and perfect, often times it's challenging, frustrating, and confusing. I help my clients acknowledge and experience those unwanted feelings.

Hi, I’m Shayna, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida with 13+ years of experience supporting women, children, and families. I earned my Master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University and have dedicated my career to helping clients find clarity, resilience, and healing.
I specialize in working with women who feel overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood, careers, and the pressure to “hold it all together.” In our sessions, I provide a safe space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and work through stress, trauma, or burnout.
I also work closely with children and families navigating emotional struggles, behavioral challenges, or communication breakdowns. With a trauma-informed approach, I guide parents in understanding behaviors and building strategies that restore connection and peace at home.
My goal is to offer both compassion and practical tools so you and your family can experience meaningful, lasting change.

Motherhood is a profound journey marked by both beauty and upheaval. Whether your path to this moment has been long-anticipated or unexpected, the transition into motherhood often brings a whirlwind of emotions. Anxiety and depression during pregnancy and the postpartum period are more common than many realize, with maternal depression being the leading complication of childbirth. The shift from your pre-motherhood identity to caring for a newborn can be one of the toughest transitions you’ll ever experience. As a dedicated mental health professional, I am passionate about supporting individuals through some of life's most significant and challenging transitions.
I offer various approaches, including talk therapy, art therapy, mindfulness and meditation practices, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). These methods are designed to help you express your feelings, redefine your identity, and find a sense of balance and well-being in this new chapter of your life.

Together, we’ll work on building coping tools, improving self-esteem, and creating more balanced, authentic relationships. I take a collaborative approach—one that combines compassion with practical strategies—to help you better understand your emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and make lasting change.
Therapy with me often involves strengthening emotional awareness, identifying core beliefs, and learning new ways to respond to challenges. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or simply feeling “not enough,” our work focuses on helping you reconnect with your sense of worth and agency.
Relationships are a central part of healing, both with others and with yourself. In our sessions, we’ll explore communication, boundaries, and self-trust, helping you develop skills that support healthier, more fulfilling connections. I also integrate mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help you stay present, manage stress, and build resilience.

Do you often feel overwhelmed by your surroundings or uncertain about where you truly belong? Do crowded places leave you overstimulated and drained? Perhaps you avoid social situations, struggle to focus, or experience constant mental fog. You might be questioning if you have ADHD or autism, or you might already know and you are seeking someone who understands your experiences. Anxiety might increase with routine changes, leaving you feeling stuck and unable to complete tasks despite your efforts. You may catch yourself wishing to escape or needing someone to truly listen. If you relate to any of this, remember you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face it by yourself.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, practicing since 2016, with a Master’s degree from Florida Atlantic University (2012). Over the years, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, past trauma (emotional and physical abuse), maternal mental health, medical trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting stressors, and major life transitions.
I am trained in multiple evidence-based and expressive approaches, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Play Therapy, Sand Tray, Brazelton Touchpoints, Perinatal Mental Health, and Art Therapy techniques. This allows me to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs.
I truly value walking alongside clients on their healing journey, helping them move toward the goals and life they envision. I know reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and I would be honored to be part of your path toward growth and well-being.
I work with teen girls and women (14+) who feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected from themselves—whether that comes from life experiences, past hurts, or just not knowing what’s next. My clients often struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm, but they’re also curious, motivated, and ready to grow. I create a space that’s warm, real, and supportive—while also gently challenging you when it helps you grow. This is a place where you can be fully yourself, explore your inner world, and build clarity and confidence as you move forward. My approach is best for low- to mid-acuity clients ready for self-discovery and meaningful change.

Hi there!

Using evidence-based therapies like Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I can help you process your experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and move towards a more fulfilling life.

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.

Welcome my name is Vaaseen Richards and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based out of Florida. I am a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) and Certified Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional (CATP) dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space for individuals who have experienced trauma to heal and thrive. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Traumatic Incident Reduction Therapy to help clients process their experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and reclaim a sense of safety and empowerment in their lives. My goal is to support you on your journey toward healing and help you rediscover strength and resilience within yourself.
Hello, I’m JJ Beggs, and I’ve been a therapist for over 10 years. My passion lies in helping people navigate life’s challenges—whether that means healing from a major life event, managing ongoing stress, or simply becoming more comfortable in their own skin.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a broad range of clients and diagnoses, always with a focus on achieving meaningful, lasting change. My experience includes supporting individuals living with depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, complex personality disorders, and schizophrenia. I also have extensive experience working with veterans and their families, helping them adjust to life transitions and reconnect with their sense of purpose and identity.
My approach is person-centered and strengths-based, which means therapy is guided by you—your story, your goals, and your pace. Together, we’ll identify your unique strengths and build upon them to create real, sustainable progress.
I believe that healing and growth happen in partnership, and that every person has the capacity to change their life for the better. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
I look forward to meeting you.
— JJ Beggs, LCSW
