I tend to lead with curiosity always.. and my style is warm, present, and down-to-earth. I show up fully with you so you don’t feel like just another number in a system, but a person whose story deserves to be heard and honored.

Hi there, I'm Lorrie. I'm so glad you are reaching out for help. That's a huge first step, and often the hardest part of your journey to health and happiness. I work with trauma, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and relationship issues. If you are dealing with difficult emotions and can't seem to stop worrying about the future or ruminating about the past, I can help! My approach to therapy is holistic, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. In our first session you can expect to learn more about somatic therapies, and other mind-body bridging practices. By the end of the session you will have some tools you can start using right away. We will work together to identify your goals for therapy and create a treatment plan just for you. I specialize in treatments that get you grounded, with a sense of safety, acceptance of what is, and curiosity and excitement about what could be! Before I became a therapist, I was a yoga and mindfulness educator for 30+ years. I bring my expertise in mindfulness, meditation and breath work into every session treating mind, body and spirit. What ever your mental health challenge, I'm here to help. Seeking out, and then showing up for therapy can be hard, but you are making the right choice! We'll work together using evidence-based techniques that are proven to help you manage your struggles and heal your trauma. I hope we connect soon and get you started on a path to healing and happiness right away. Just one other thing... I require all of my clients to have their cameras on during all sessions. Its a safety thing.... and I appreciate your understanding.

Welcome—I'm so glad you're here. Whether you're navigating a challenging season, healing from past wounds, or simply searching for a safe space to grow, I want to honor the courage it takes to reach out for support. My name is Victoria, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping individuals find clarity, healing, and peace. In our work together, you’ll find a nonjudgmental space where you are seen, heard, and supported. I take a trauma-informed, person-centered approach that respects your lived experience while drawing from evidence-based practices tailored to your needs—whether that includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Christian counseling, or other supportive modalities. My goal is to walk alongside you as you make sense of your story, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward the life you desire. Whether you’re ready to begin or simply exploring your options, I’d be honored to connect with you.

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. I believe deeply that meaningful connections are fundamental to human wellbeing and healing. From our very first bonds at birth through the complex relationships we navigate throughout life, these connections shape our ability to thrive. 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 Life presents us with countless challenges that can strain our most important relationships—becoming new parents, balancing career and family demands, navigating divorce, managing financial stress, healing from trauma, or addressing teenage struggles. I provide a safe, supportive space where clients can work through these difficulties and emerge with stronger, more caring connections that support lasting healing and growth. My therapeutic approach combines solution-focused techniques with evidence-based treatments, always tailored to meet each client's unique needs and goals. I believe in building on existing strengths while addressing areas that need healing and growth.

Hi! I’m Dakota. Do you feel as though your life is a struggle and you don’t understand why or how to help yourself? Has your child changed into someone you don’t recognize? Are you scared about your future or for your child’s future? I excel at working with people who have become stuck, lost, or hurt. I focus on empowering you or your child with skills and increasing insight so that my clients can move on and heal. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents with any problem but specialize working through trauma and/or abandonment issues. I am uniquely suited to offer therapy to individuals with high IQ’s who may have difficulties connecting with the emotional side of therapy. I love working with the geek population and offer therapeutic Dungeons & Dragons™ services. I am also a trained rehabilitation therapist, so if you’re struggling with what you do with your life/career or have a highschooler wondering what trade or college path is a good fit, I can do career counseling. Thank you for doing the brave thing seeking therapy. I look forward to helping you grow!

Over the course of my career—as a school counselor, higher education instructor, and now a telehealth clinician—I have honed the ability to create trusting, empowering relationships with clients and their families. I value collaboration, transparency, and humor in therapy, and I strive to provide a space where clients feel both seen and celebrated. I help my clients identify their concerns and strengths. Then, we work together to develop a plan to capitalize on your strengths and address your concerns.
