Welcome!! I’m Laura Schwades, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. If you are reading this, it likely means you are going through something difficult, and I want you to know that you are not alone. Whether you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in sadness, or trying to make sense of past trauma or substance use, I see your courage in looking for support. It takes strength to ask for help, and I truly honor that step. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are navigating these very challenges. I understand how heavy life can feel at times and how hard it can be to open up, especially when you are unsure if anyone will truly listen or understand. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and never judged; a space where we can talk openly and work together to help you find clarity, confidence, and healing. I will meet you where you are, and together we will build tools that help you manage emotions, understand yourself more deeply, and create meaningful change in your life. Whether you are just starting out or have tried therapy before, this is your space, and I am here to help guide you through it. You do not have to carry it all alone. Healing takes time. But it starts with a single step, and I would be honored to be part of that journey with you. If you are ready to talk, I invite you to reach out. I am here when you are ready.

My approach is holistic and encompasses the whole person, addressing many dimensions of well-being, including biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual factors.

Many of the clients I work with do not meet criteria for PTSD, but have post-traumatic stress that is causing other conditions.

Whether you’re overwhelmed by overthinking, disconnected from your joy, or simply tired of living on autopilot, I’ll help you find clarity, balance, and a deeper sense of self-trust. High functioning doesn’t always mean fulfilled, and it takes courage to admit when success on the outside doesn’t match how you feel inside. Our work together will blend insight with strategy, so you not only release what’s been weighing you down, but also gain the mindset and habits to move forward with confidence and purpose.

Hello there I’m Johnny, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Miami, Florida. Outside of my work, I’m someone who loves to explore new places, try different foods, and spend time outdoors. Traveling gives me perspective and reminds me how much there is to learn from different people and cultures. I also enjoy cooking, scuba diving, and finding quiet moments near the ocean whenever I can. I’ve always had a curious side—I’m fascinated by astronomy and love collecting action figures, which is something that’s stuck with me since childhood. Those small interests keep me grounded and remind me to make space for the things that bring joy. Family is important to me, I value humor, honesty, and connection, both in my personal life and in the relationships I build every day. I believe that who we are outside of our work matters just as much as what we do, and I try to live in a way that reflects that balance.

You might feel like you’ve been carrying too much for too long—trying to keep it together while life feels heavier than it should. Maybe anxiety keeps running the show. Maybe you’ve been stuck in habits or patterns that don’t serve you anymore. Maybe you’ve gone through heartbreak, loss, or betrayal and can’t quite find your footing again. Or maybe you just know something’s off, and you’re tired of pretending everything’s fine. Here’s how I can help. Together, we’ll slow things down and get to the root of what’s really driving your emotions and behaviors—not just the surface stress, but the deeper patterns that keep showing up. I’ll help you develop tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings in real time so you can start responding differently instead of reacting automatically. We’ll also focus on rebuilding your confidence and connection—with yourself and the people who matter most. That means learning how to trust your own instincts again, set boundaries without guilt, and create habits that actually last. Therapy with me isn’t about endlessly talking through problems—it’s about real movement. My goal is to help you feel lighter, more grounded, and genuinely hopeful about where you’re headed.

Hello, I'm Benita. I am a licensed clinical social worker and I have been in private practice for the past 6 years, working with adults. I have a friendly nature and I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. I believe that my personal experiences help me to connect with my clients. I have experience with marriage, divorce, children, trauma, immigration, and multi-cultural issues. I know that life is often hard, especially if you don't have a good support system. I'm here to help you to explore what is getting in the way of you living your best life. I can't wait to meet you!

What do you want to change in your life? Hi, my name is Ancquanetta McKinney-Hankerson and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (L.M.H.C). I have experience working with individuals dealing with emotional, cognitive, and substance difficulties. I have collaboratively worked on ways to help them manage their symptoms and maintain some type of balance in their lives. I have also done work in individual, family, and group therapy sessions in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric/substance programs. I have aided individuals in the process of working on ways to piece their life back together so they can get back to the person they recognize. Helping individuals motivate themselves to an improved view of who they are and the world around them can be a difficult, tedious process, but I am willing to help guide the way through to a higher level of self-fulfillment. I have experience working with clients on anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, teen topics, and self-esteem issues. It's a big step to seek help when you are used to certain comfortable behaviors/actions. I applaud you for taking this next step in wanting to make a change that can lead to a more happier and fulfilling life for you. I look forward to working with you. I am ready whenever you are!!
