Life is full of change, and sometimes those changes can feel overwhelming. I believe there is no single “right way” to handle life’s challenges, which is why I take a person-centered and integrative approach to therapy. My goal is to help you feel supported and more at ease with where you are while working toward where you want to be. Over the past 10 years, I’ve gained experience with a wide range of approaches including expressive arts therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, yoga, nature-based practices, nutrition, and relationship work. I enjoy bringing creativity and flexibility into sessions so that we can find what works best for you. I have a strong background in helping clients with worry, low mood, and spiritual concerns, and I strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable exploring any challenge you’re facing.

I'm a mental health therapist who is passionate about helping individuals gain deeper insight into themselves and create lasting, meaningful change in their lives. My work is grounded primarily in psychodynamic therapy, which means I focus on helping clients uncover and understand unconscious patterns, early relational experiences, and internal conflicts that influence how they think, feel, and behave today. I believe that by bringing these deeper dynamics into awareness, people can begin to heal from past wounds and build more fulfilling lives and relationships. In addition to psychodynamic therapy, I integrate tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in managing present-day symptoms and building practical coping skills. CBT allows us to identify and challenge distorted thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. We work together to reshape those thoughts and develop healthier behaviors that promote emotional well-being. ACT helps clients relate differently to their internal experiences by fostering mindfulness, acceptance, and alignment with personal values, encouraging them to take meaningful action even in the face of difficult emotions. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. Whether someone is struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, self-doubt, or a sense of feeling stuck, I work to create a safe space where they feel seen, heard, and supported. Together, we explore the roots of their struggles while also building the tools they need to thrive in the present and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Hello! I understand that when we’re struggling with something overwhelming and there’s a lot on the line, getting real help from a competent, experienced professional is crucial.

Feeling stuck, disconnected, or frustrated and not sure why? You’re not alone. Maybe your relationships aren’t what they used to be. Maybe your focus is all over the place. Or maybe you just feel like something is off, and it’s starting to affect your work, your energy, and your confidence. I work with individuals who want more out of life but feel held back by something they can’t quite name. Whether it’s trauma from the past or symptoms of ADHD that were never addressed, we’ll figure it out—together. I provide long-term, results-driven therapy in a supportive yet challenging environment where you can finally start making sense of what’s going on. With over 12 years of experience and dual Master’s degrees from Barry University, I bring both training and real-world perspective to our work. I’m a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), and I’m trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and EMDR—two powerful tools for working through trauma and getting out of survival mode. My approach is straightforward and collaborative. We’ll identify the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that are interfering with your daily life and build a better framework that supports clarity, stability, and self-control. I do this work because I’ve seen the transformations that are possible when individuals commit to the process. Therapy doesn’t have to be abstract or feel like guesswork; you’ll get a plan that fits who you are. You don’t have to keep feeling this way. Book an intake session today and take the first step toward feeling like yourself again.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, and I have been practicing for 8 years. I am also licensed in Vermont as a telehealth provider. I received my Master's degree from Capella University, and am passionate about helping adults with a wide range of issues to become the best version of themselves. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, and to work healing and growth.

By meeting clients exactly where they are, I aim to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space to explore, heal, and grow. Building a strong and meaningful therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, empathy, compassion, and respect is at the very heart of my practice.

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) woman, a proud veteran, and someone who knows what it’s like to carry invisible weight. I became a mental health counselor because I believe in real conversations, trust built over time, and having a space where you don’t have to hide what you’re feeling. People who work with me often say they feel like they can finally exhale. I bring calm, compassion, and honesty into the room. I’m not here to judge or tell you how to live your life. I’m here to walk beside you as you figure things out—whether that’s making sense of the past, dealing with hard relationships, or just trying to feel more like yourself again. I’ve worked with people who didn’t even realize how much they were holding in until they had someone to talk to. I know that reaching out can feel scary or uncomfortable. That’s okay. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start. You don’t need to call what you’re feeling “trauma” or “anxiety” if that doesn’t feel right to you. All you need is the sense that something needs to shift—and the willingness to take that first step. Outside of work, I’m grounded by my own healing practices, community, and culture. I value humor, kindness, and realness. You don’t have to show up as anyone but yourself. If you’re reading this and wondering if things could be different—you’re not alone. And you don’t have to go through it alone.

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS! That is the key!! With 25 years of experience, much research, studying, and face to face experience living and working all over the world, I realized relationships with yourself and with others can make or break our contentment in life! But there are skills to learn to make it happen, skills such as self-awareness, ability to pay attention to the world around us and our own bodies (mindfulness), learning to grieve and let go while embracing change, learning the characteristics of a healthy relationship with others and with ourselves, and accessing our strengths while focusing on the beauty in life. I'd love to walk with you through this process to restore hope.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of experience with a variety of individuals, partners, and family units. I received my master's degree in social work in 1998 from Florida State University. I am open to work with anyone who has a desire to grow and learn about themselves and others.

I’m Dr. Tracie Esmond, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of The Pathway to Wellness Counseling. I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—and together, we work toward clarity, healing, and renewed purpose. Through evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, EMDR, and strength-focused approaches, I help individuals build resilience and reclaim their lives with confidence and compassion. My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about their next steps. Together, we create a safe, supportive space where they can explore their experiences, build resilience, and rediscover their inner strength. Whether you're coping with grief, struggling with self-esteem, or working through past trauma, I’m here to walk alongside you and help you reclaim a sense of clarity, confidence, and hope. I understand that life doesn’t pause for therapy, which is why I offer convenient online sessions—including evening appointments after 5 PM—to accommodate busy professionals and those with daytime commitments. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard and empowered to heal, grow, and thrive. If you're ready to take that first step toward lasting wellness, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute introductory call. Let’s begin your journey together.
