I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor ( LMHC) Clinical Supervisor and Board Certified NCC in Florida. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey that involves empathically listening without judgment. I use a variety of methods that are personally tailored approach for each client and situation. As a therapist, I am empathetic, supportive , and straightforward. I consider myself an open minded therapist who uses learned skills, experience, and sense of humor to offer logical and realistic approach to counseling. In addition to therapy, I offer evaluations and documentation for Emotional Support Animals (ESA) when clinically appropriate. ESA letters can help individuals with mental health challenges access the support they need from their animal companions. ESA letters are issued after a thorough assessment to ensure they meet ethical and legal standards. If you’re considering an ESA, feel free to discuss this during your session. I also understand that mental health symptoms can impact school, testing, or work performance. I provide support and documentation for accommodations (such as extended test time, modified environments, or school/workplace supports) to help clients demonstrate their true ability, when clinically appropriate and not after a single session.

I believe that healing begins with insight — and that every person has the capacity to grow, transform, and create lasting change.
Hi, I am Diane, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida for the past 25 years. My approach is to facilitate healing and improved wellbeing through compassionate, authentic, individualized, and evidence-based care.

My practice focuses on helping individuals, couples, and families develop, strengthen, repair, and sometimes grieve these vital relationships using compassion, acceptance, and proven therapeutic approaches. That which is created within a relationship, can be fixed within a relationship. Murray Bowen, MD

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida with over ten years of professional experience.
I believe that everyone can benefit from counseling. We all have situations and phases of our lives where it's helpful to have a neutral sounding board. We can all benefit from having a person who listens and really hears what we're saying and a place we feel safe to say anything at all without fear of judgment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been a social worker for 15 years. I've worked with active duty, veterans, aging adults, kids, adolescents, couples and individuals over the course of my career. One thing that has remained constant regardless of who I've worked with, is that we all have had to combat anxiety or depression at some point. For some it has been a life long struggle, while for others there was life situation that brought those feelings on. I enjoy working with clients who are seeking strategies to manage their anxiety and depressive symptoms, because I've seen when they learn these strategies they're able to use them consistently for the other issues life brings.
I am an energetic and creative therapist passionate about meeting with people to bring more clarity, peace, and joy into their life. I am also a Christian, mother, cat-mom, artist, athlete, amateur cook/baker, and reading enthusiast. I utilize a mixture of evidence-based practices and creative exercises to meet people where they are at, develop a deep understanding of their circumstances, as well as how they are thinking about those circumstances. I guide my client to setting specific intentions for our time together that they agree will be worthwhile. I will be warm and understanding, but I am also not afraid to challenge my clients on things they could benefit from changing. I often enjoy using humor and laughter as a force for that change.
I have experience serving in a private practice outpatient capacity, intensive outpatient hospital setting, and at the residential level of care. These unique settings have given me a variety of skills and an ability to understand multiple levels of distress and/or what past treatment may have been like for my clients (the good, the bad, and the ugly.)
Are you struggling to find a competent therapist who does more than nod in agreement? Are you looking for someone to help battle depression and anxiety and maybe some unresolved trauma? Look no further!
Hi, my name is Joey Caggiano. I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Florida. I have been working in mental health for over 9years; before that, I spent several years working in crime scene investigations and other positions in law enforcement. My mission and passion is to help others reach their full potential. I am not a traditional therapist. I am in a wheelchair. I often use humor in my therapy sessions as I believe creating a safe space and comfortable environment for all is most important. I think that you are the expert in your treatment. You get to decide what we focus on. I am here to be your spirit or travel guide through your life journey. We live in stressful times, and sometimes, our minds can be our worst enemy. Whether you're struggling with self-doubt, negative thoughts, thoughts of self-harm, or maybe even suicidal thoughts, I can help! Let's work together to build coping skills to face life's challenges. As a therapist with a disability, I have unique insight into those who think differently and make therapy enjoyable.
I am a licensed therapist who is passionate about helping clients navigate burnout. I am passionate because I have been there and was tired of getting unhelpful answers from people who meant well but did not seem to understand. Advice like ‘sleep it off’ and ‘take a deep breath’ we're common and it felt like I was putting a bandaid on a gaping wound. I promise, life does not need to be a constant cycle of burning out and starting again. Through our work together we will explore ways to ‘stitch’ the gaping wound so you are actually able to heal and move towards a more balanced life.
Through our work together I will use imagery and analogies to help you better understand how and why your body and mind is reacting the way it is. Like a birds eye view, I am able to see some of the signs that are right in front of you but are too zoomed in to see clearly. In a non-judgmental space I use education and a bit of humor to help you see the full picture and move towards a healthier balance.
Hello and Welcome! I'm Christy.
Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time.

Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

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.

Therapy is a great way to get on the path of becoming the best version of YOU.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards healing, despite feeling worried or unsure, perhaps even hopeful, despite misgivings. Choosing to change is difficult, and you are doing it!! With 26 years of practice, I bring professional expertise, personal understanding, sincerity, warmth and caring to your healing journey. Whether you’re navigating life solo or in a relationship, unresolved childhood trauma can quietly shape your patterns, reactions, and relationships. I help individuals and couples uncover those early wounds and start healing—through psychotherapy grounded in neuroscience and mindfulness. Because healing isn’t just talk; it’s nervous system deep. The body keeps the score, but you get to rewrite the story. Let’s create the life you were always meant to live. Not all therapies or therapists are created equal, as you know if you are still struggling with the same issues. Time for a change.
If you want to feel better about yourself, confident, excited about life, build healthier relationships, and become your best self, welcome to creating your best life. Together, we'll integrate Mind/Body/Spirit approaches with classical therapeutic interventions tailored to your unique needs.
Call me Ben! I've been in private practice for 5 years and the mental health field at-large for close to a decade. I'm a big advocate for mindfulness (and ACT) and how it can be used alongside and incorporated into the therapeutic relationship to make tremendous strides in addressing one's mental health. I live in Asheville, North Carolina with my wife and our two cats. I love to go hiking and kayaking, I own a record store where I also work, and love a good gaming session with my friends.
Starting therapy can be a difficult process. I make this process as easy for you as possible. Therapy starts with us getting to know each other and for me to understand your needs for treatment. I want to make sure that I can meet your requirements and help you work on what you came into treatment for or find you someone who can. As a therapist, I help you become the best version of yourself. My job is to give you the skills to manage difficulties when they occur. Situations occur that you may not feel equipped to handle. Let me support you to help you get through and gain insight about yourself and your ability to handle things in the future. I provide a comfortable and non-intrusive environment. I work with people to help them develop a strong sense of self, learn to have healthier relationships, learn mindfulness, distress tolerance skills, and other ways to regulate their emotions, reduce anxiety, and learn to be less impulsive. If you have moments when you think you should reach out for help or support, even if the thoughts are fleeting, I encourage you to reach out to me for support.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 16 years of experience helping adults and couples overcome anxiety, trauma, and grief, and find calm in the middle of life’s stress and transitions. My approach is warm, genuine, and deeply compassionate—I want you to feel comfortable, understood, and truly cared for. I don’t just listen; I help you uncover the “why” behind your patterns and guide you toward lasting clarity, balance, and peace of mind. I use a person-centered, trauma-informed, and cognitive behavioral (CBT) approach, creating a space where you can be fully yourself without fear of judgment. My goal is to help you rediscover your confidence, rebuild your relationships, and create a life that finally feels steady, meaningful, and fulfilling
Question: "In what way is a therapist like a pair of shoes?" (Read on for the answer)
You deserve to be listened to without judgment, criticism or having to defend yourself. My role as a bilingual (English, Spanish) therapist is to be an active partner providing a non-judgmental environment focusing on your strengths and goals, thus readying you to move in the direction you desire. I provide an integrated approach in a warm, compassionate and supportive setting with creativity and humor.
I enjoy delivering services to children, adolescents, and their families. I focus on a variety of issues that include behavioral problems, depression, anxiety, school-related problems, parent-child relational discord and breakdown in communication. However, my practice is not limited to these situations.
Sometimes life events become overwhelming. It is good to know there is someone you can trust that gives unconditional positive regard and solution-focused interventions to ease and/or eliminate the stresses you encounter. I am here for you!

As a therapist, my goal is to provide a space where you feel truly seen, accepted, and celebrated. I focus on building a strong, trusting relationship where you can openly share your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I tailor each session to your unique needs and strengths using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), gender-affirming therapy, supportive therapy, and a multicultural approach. I believe that therapy is all about supporting you in creating meaningful change and growth while gently challenging any distorted ideas that hold you back. Together, we’ll work on developing coping strategies, fostering resilience, and creating the life and balance you’ve always wanted. I genuinely look forward to getting to know you and seeing the best in you, even when you can’t.
I have been in practice for over 25 years with a PhD and an MS degree as a Florida Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I taught at St. Thomas University in Miami as an adjunct professor for several years. I have worked in Mental Health facilities, and I practiced as a sole provider for over 20 years. I use an eclectic approach with solution-focused, cognitive behavioral and experiential modalities. I work with children (over 10 years old), adolescents, and adults. I assist clients with coping skills and improving their communication with others.
Hi, I’m Tami, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times, how easy it is to get stuck in painful patterns, and how hard it can be to take that first step toward change. You don’t have to do it alone!
I’m deeply passionate about helping people find their way through difficult seasons of life and feel less alone in their struggles. I support individuals navigating anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, low self-esteem, mood challenges, relationship conflicts, parenting stress and guilt, trauma, eating disorders, and addiction, while helping them reconnect with a sense of balance within themselves. My hope is to create a space where healing feels possible, growth feels supported, and a more grounded, fulfilling life begins to take shape.
To me, therapy is about more than just talking—it’s about creating a safe, supportive environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you feel more empowered in your life. I use a flexible, personalized approach that draws from CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Strengths-Based Therapy, and other evidence-based strategies—always meeting you where you are and moving at a pace that feels right for you.
I believe healing from the past is often an essential step toward creating a brighter and more meaningful future. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and create balance emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, and intellectually.
If you’re ready to begin your healing journey—or even just considering that first step—I would be honored to support you in moving forward, overcoming challenges, and creating the life you deserve.
