My name is Eric Lopez. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I studied psychology at the University of Florida and earned my Masters of Counseling Psychology from Trinity International University. I am client centered in my approach to therapy and believe empathy and understanding are key to the therapeutic relationship. Having over 15 years of counseling in the state of Florida, over the years I have worked with people suffering from depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, abuse, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, homelessness, and juvenile delinquency issues. The clients I have worked with have been between the ages of 5 and 85 from all races, ethnicities, cultures, backgrounds, political beliefs, and sexual orientations.

Hello, I'm John-David Checkett -- the first man in history to earn a master's degree in Women's Studies in Florida!

Hi, my name is Michael. I'm here to listen, support and work collaboratively with you on your therapeutic journey. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression or feeling overwhelmed with everyday life stressors I am here to assist you. Whether you're dealing with past emotional struggles or just not feeling like yourself, I am here for you. If you're looking for a safe non-judgmental space to talk to a skilled therapist, you've already taken the first step. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and New York. I have spent my career thus far working in mental health housing, where I have gained experience working with clients with serious and persistent mental illnesses. I have been practicing since 2018 and have been in private practice since 2021. Therapy is a journey and you are not alone in this. I understand that taking the first step can be a difficult one. Allow me to utilize my experience in assisting you to get through these difficult times and support you throughout your journey.

I believe people CAN change! We are not leopards, we CAN change our spots! We just need a little encouragement, belief, & guidance, to help remind us of our true nature...to thrive, love, and live. Take action, and Decide now...call/text me or another counselor :) A few reasons to schedule an appointment might be...Couples conflict-same arguments over & over, Addiction to cell, social media, Alcohol/drugs, Codependency, Insomnia, Anxiety, Chronic Worry, Anger, Grief, and Depression. Specializing in: Mindfulness-Cognitive Psychotherapy, Buddhist Psychology, Mindfulness techniques, Meditation, Spiritual-Psychotherapy, CBT, a sense of humor. Thoughts & emotions create out life, what do have going on...satisfaction or misery...It is sooo liberating to learn how to regulate, manage & change them :-)

My work with you is informed not only by my professional training but by my own personal experiences working through these very same challenges. I too have felt the despair of not knowing what’s next. I remember all too well struggling with the shame that comes with self-doubt, indecision, and fear of an uncertain future. I remember, head in hands, thinking “How can things ever improve? I don’t see a path forward, I can’t do this by myself.” But for the help of trusted guides in my life, I may not have experienced the healing and clarity which informs my clinical work. All of my experiences as a therapist have led me to the work I do today. If you were to ask me, what my truth was, I would say the following: My truth today is to be the possibility for transformational change through compassion, kindness, humor, and wisdom.
