I hold licenses as a Clinical Social Worker and a Marriage and Family Therapist, both granted through 15 years of professional practice in Florida.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I am passionate about supporting teens and young (in age and at heart) adults, particularly those navigating life’s complexities and searching for a path to inner peace and balanced character. With a background in both psychology and health science (earning a double major Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Science in Health Science with concentrations in Social and Behavioral and Biological Health Science from the University of South Florida), I integrate a holistic understanding of mental, social, and physical well-being into my therapeutic practice.
Hey there!
I’m really proud of you for being here. Choosing yourself isn’t always easy, especially when you’re used to pushing through, holding it together, and being the strong one—but it’s so worth it.
I’m Dana, a Licensed Clinical Therapist, full-time travel medical social worker, and the founder of Healing Convos. Outside of therapy, I’m navigating real life just like you, balancing work, family, responsibilities, and all the roles we’re expected to play. Being on the move as a travel medical social worker has shown me just how common burnout, emotional exhaustion, and feeling “stuck” really are, especially for people who are constantly pouring into others.
As a millennial therapist, I understand how exhausting it can feel trying to keep up with hustle culture, societal expectations, and the pressure to always be “on.” Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of who they are outside of their responsibilities. Whether it’s navigating toxic work environments, relationship or friendship breakups, family dynamics, or simply feeling lost in adulthood, you’re not alone.
I offer part-time therapy for individuals who are ready to slow down, check in with themselves, and build healthier ways to cope, heal, and move forward—without judgment and at your own pace. Therapy with me isn’t about perfection; it’s self-awareness and learning how to show up for yourself in a way that feels sustainable.
I created Healing Convos to give Millennials and Gen Zer's, especially men and women of color, a safe space to explore these challenges, find their voice, and reconnect with their values.
If you’re ready to stop chasing and start living a life that feels intentional, peaceful, and aligned with who you truly are, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
I pride myself in being a generalist. This means I have a lot of tools I can use to help you work towards your goals. It might be someone to process through tough situations with or getting deep into trauma treatments using EMDR, whatever you need, I am here to help.
Its OK to have bad days, I am here to sort through them. Let's see if we can work out a plan that helps you to grow and be the amazing person we both know you are!

With over 25 years of professional experience, I offer a steady hand and a seasoned perspective to help you find clarity and peace of mind.
I entered the field of social work 10+ years ago to advocate for and assist others in finding their voice. I quickly learned I was able to use my skills to help clients overcome obstacles and navigate broken systems. Over the course of my career, the need to address mental health disparities became apparent, as did the lack of available providers to do so. I became a licensed therapist to help clients live a life free of shame, one that is authentic without needing anyone else’s approval.
As a Licensed Psychotherapist serving clients in Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, and Texas, I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward healing, growth, and reconnection.

Together, we create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your inner experiences with curiosity and compassion. By weaving together mindfulness, body awareness, and evidence-based therapeutic practices, I help you tune into your emotions, understand your nervous system, and move through your experiences at a pace that feels right for you.
Our work together is collaborative and personalized. We may integrate reflective conversation, breathwork, and gentle somatic practices to help you reconnect with your body, build self-awareness, and find a sense of grounding and steadiness within. My intention is to support you in feeling more at home in yourself—more connected, more resourced, and more empowered in your healing.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, life transitions, or the lingering effects of trauma, you don’t have to do it alone. I am here to walk alongside you with care and intention, as you rediscover your strength, reclaim your story, and move toward a deeper sense of balance, peace, and wholeness.

Are you looking for a therapist who makes you feel encouraged, heard, respected, and empowered to live authentically? Hi, I'm Brianna. I strive to create and maintain an inclusive, supportive, and collaborative environment that is safe and embracing all cultures and backgrounds. I understand your need for confidentiality, trust and respect. You aren't alone, you are heard, I can help you!
We all struggle to get through life. Sometimes it feels like we are sinking instead of swimming and there is no one around to help you keep your head above water. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy more of life and decrease your stress and frustrations? I enjoy helping people who want to succeed in making their life meaningful and fulfilling while decreasing their emotional dysregulation, stress, and feeling overwhelmed with life. I provide the space you need to share your concerns and struggles and work with you to overcome your obstacles.
You are capable, dependable, and used to carrying a great deal on your shoulders. Others often look to you for support, strength, and stability. But even the strongest people can begin to feel emotionally exhausted when stress becomes constant and there is little time to rest, recover, or care for themselves.
I specialize in working with healthcare professionals, caregivers, leaders, and high-achieving adults who are experiencing burnout, chronic stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are functioning well on the outside while internally feeling drained, mentally overloaded, disconnected from themselves, or uncertain about their sense of purpose.
With over 13 years of clinical experience across healthcare systems, private practice, and community settings, I understand how prolonged pressure and responsibility can quietly impact emotional well-being. My approach is warm, supportive, and grounded in helping clients slow down, reconnect with themselves, strengthen healthy boundaries, and build a more sustainable and balanced way of living — not just surviving.

I have worked in the counseling field for more than 20 years. I enjoy helping others to navigate through their life stressor, and to become more happy, successful, and positive.
I was inspired to become a therapist because I wanted to be the kind of safe, supportive presence for others that I needed during my own childhood. What I love most about this work is seeing the growth my clients make, but also being there through the tough times when they stumble and watching them find the strength to get back up. I have a deep commitment to building trust, honoring each person’s unique journey, and empowering them to create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

Hi, I’m Jennifer Gaither, a licensed therapist passionate about helping you feel like yourself again. Life has a way of becoming overwhelming, whether you’re navigating constant anxiety, a major life transition, or just feeling "stuck" in a cycle you can't quite break. We all need a little support to find our footing sometimes, and I’m here to help you do just that.
My approach is warm, laid-back, and completely tailored to your unique needs. I truly believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine conversation rather than a lecture. We’ll move at your pace, and I’ll meet you exactly where you are, without judgment. Whether you’re working through a specific crisis or simply want to understand yourself better, I’m here for all of it.
I especially love working with individuals facing challenges around self-confidence and self-acceptance. Helping you discover your own strength and resilience is the most rewarding part of my work. I want to help you move from just "getting by" to truly thriving.
When I’m not in session, you can usually find me at the beach soaking up the sun, cheering during a soccer match, or binge-watching the latest shows on Netflix. These moments of relaxation keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of balance, a concept I bring into my work with clients every day.
Taking that first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but reaching out is a brave act of self-care. I would be honored to walk alongside you on this journey toward healing and growth. Let’s do this together.

My name is Teresa, and I would be honored to walk with you as you navigate life. I work with individuals who have taken on the role of caregiver, whether professional or personal, in avoiding burnout and compassion fatigue. I empower others in creating and enforcing boundaries. I also assist individuals in cultivating a strong sense of self-worth. I guide individuals who are processing trauma and provide support and care.
I support individuals of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, and religions. I am nonjudgmental and supportive of individuals who are in any stage of recovery from substances or any other addictions. I hope to create a genuine, caring environment (yes, even in teletherapy!) exhibiting acceptance and celebration of who you truly are.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe healing happens with connections in ourselves and with others. My work is grounded in empathy, openness, and collaboration. I take pride in helping clients navigate life's challenges and discover new pathways toward growth and resilience. My hope is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward.
I began my work in the field in 2007 and have been fully licensed since 2017. I consider myself to be an exceptionally empathetic and caring counselor who meets my clients where they're at. I will push my clients to experience emotions and to sit with them in ways they haven't before. However, I do this in a safe manner where we simply expand the limits each time and create safety in each session to fully allow the client to embrace the process. I strive to help my clients make sense of their life and the experiences they've had. I have great respect for each individual's journey and understand there is value in all of us. I strive for all of my clients to feel seen, heard, respected, accepted, and not judged. From the very first session, my clients feel heard through my exceptional empathic listening skills. I ask evocative questions to get to the heart of the matter and to push the client to think more in depth and perhaps even with a different perspective about struggles or experiences that have caused them strife.
I earned my master’s degree in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University and have been practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 2014. After years of providing in-person therapy, I transitioned to fully virtual care in 2020, offering accessible, private telehealth services to adults across Florida and Vermont.
In my own life, I’ve navigated grief, major transitions, and having had cancer twice. These experiences don’t define my work, but they have shaped a grounded, compassionate approach to therapy. I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to be honest — without pressure or judgment.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and practical. We move at a pace that feels manageable, building insight and coping tools that support real-life change.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or ready for something to shift, therapy can be a steady place to begin.
Hi. I'm Nichole. I am a licensed counselor in the state of Florida. I specialize in stress management, ADHD, women's issues, domestic violence, and relationship issues (for the individual). I do not work with couples at this time.
I like to take an individualized, eclectic approach and tailor our sessions to the best approach for you. My background includes work in hospital settings, community mental health, substance use, case management, health care workers and CPI. I enjoy exploring underlying issues and finding ways to increase overall joy and peace in your life.
I offer accelerated resolution therapy
In a session with me, I will be honest but also supportive. My goal is to get you to a place where you do not need me because we have worked together to help you build a supportive and fulfilling life. To that end, I will incorporate counseling in emotional processing, interpersonal communication, self-care, and career into your sessions because it is our whole lives that determine our happiness and ability to handle stress.
I have about 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in business as an efficiencies expert. I have a wide variety of experience from my time in business working in IT and business administration in various markets (from finance to manufacturing).
My decision to become a therapist was based on my need to restart my life more happily and healthily a little over 10 years ago. I take a more existential approach to psychotherapy and utilize other approaches such as CBT and DBT and teach about the brain and how it reacts to stress.

Trained as a psychologist (Ph.D. from Cornell University). Some 20 years later I earned a second graduate degree in Marriage & Family Therapy. I am a fully licensed therapist in the State of Florida.
I have taught psychology at Princeton, Tulane, Cornell, and Harvard Medical School.
We will spend most of our time creating solutions, instead of analyzing problems. So often, therapy gets bogged down in the endless exploration of problems. Problems are the results of behaviors that didn't work for you in the past. Solutions flow from changes that will work for you starting right now. Solutions make your life better. They bring joy and peace to your life.
