Nǐ hǎo / Hello! I am a licensed mental health therapist in Florida with over 20 years of experience helping individuals work through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, school-related stress, relationship issues, and major life challenges. Many of the people I support come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally drained, or unsure how to move forward. I believe therapy works best when goals are clear, practical, and measurable, so we can track progress in a meaningful way. I also believe humor can be a powerful part of healing, helping create a more relaxed and human space for growth. I believe strong therapy starts with listening, truly understanding who you are, what you have been through, and what matters most to you. I use evidence-based treatment to help clients address anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship stress, school concerns, and emotional overwhelm. Together, we set goals that align with your values. In my leisure time I play music instruments, I enjoy cooking, Hotpot is my favorite food. I speak mandarin besides English and I consider myself as a people person. I am open minded willing to learn from others.

Anxiety, depression, and relationship issues are experiences that many of us encounter at various times in our lives. If you are feeling overwhelmed by negative emotions or believe you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any combination of stressors affecting your peace of mind and relationships, "you don't have to keep feeling this way." You are not alone in your struggles, and you deserve to regain the peace of mind and joy that seem to elude you right now. "Let's find a way forward together - with compassion, clarity, and lasting change." My primary goal is to help you transition from merely feeling good to truly living well. Whether you are facing a specific crisis or a slow accumulation of challenges that has left you feeling unlike yourself, my clinical work offers a safe, judgment-free space to begin moving toward greater clarity and well-being. I draw on a carefully integrated blend of evidence-based frameworks, selecting and tailoring techniques based on each client's unique needs, history, and goals. My therapeutic approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Process-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mind-body techniques. This approach is grounded in the belief that lasting change requires attending to the whole person — mind, body, and the relational world we inhabit. Through ACT, you will learn to be more psychologically present, connect with your values, and make space for life’s inevitable pain. You will also discover how to take actionable steps despite emotional discomfort and cultivate an appreciation for each moment in your life. While my specialty is brief therapy, some situations may require an extended therapeutic relationship, which can be beneficial for adults and parents dealing with complex mental health challenges and navigating difficult child-rearing adjustments at home.

Mental health care shouldn’t feel intimidating. My goal is to provide a warm, inviting, and judgment-free space where patients can show up exactly as they are. I take a patient-centered, approachable, and solution-focused approach that combines honest conversations with practical tools to help patients move forward. I believe in meeting patients where they’re at, building trust, and creating a safe vibe where people feel comfortable discussing life’s challenges. You’ll be treated with respect, compassion, and authenticity, just as I would want to be treated. Together, we’ll focus on realistic goals, personal growth, and lasting change in a supportive and welcoming environment.

I practice an integrative, relational approach in counseling while operating from a holistic (mind-body-spirit) framework. I’ll join clients in their unique journey and encourage the use of effective mind-body practices (e.g., tapping and bilateral stimulation), communication tools, and reflective skills that embody responsibility and intentionality. While building a genuine therapeutic relationship, I both encourage and challenge clients to create more authenticity and alignment in their own lives.

Hi, I’m Shari. With more than 26 years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor, I believe every person has inherent worth that exists beyond their struggles, diagnoses, or life circumstances. At the heart of my practice is a commitment to seeing people through mercy and grace, recognizing dignity beyond dysfunction, strength alongside suffering, and hope even in life's most difficult seasons. These principles shape how I understand each client's story and guide the therapeutic relationship we build together. I recognize that many of the ways people cope with anxiety, trauma, grief, or life's challenges began as creative ways to survive difficult circumstances. Rather than defining people by their symptoms or past experiences, I seek to understand their unique story, honor the resilience that has carried them this far, and help them build healthier patterns that support lasting healing and growth. I also believe spirituality is a source of meaning, hope, and resilience that is distinct from religious beliefs or practices. Whether you identify as religious, spiritual, both, or neither, I respect your values and will thoughtfully incorporate them into therapy only if they are important to you. My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and evidence-based. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, caregiver stress, chronic illness, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you gain insight, build practical coping skills, and reconnect with your strengths so you can move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and DBT Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE), and I tailor these evidence-based approaches to meet your unique needs, strengths, and goals. I recognize that every individual’s experiences are different, which is why I take a personalized approach to treatment rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model. Whether you're navigating everyday stressors or working through more complex challenges, my goal is to help you build practical skills, gain deeper insight, and create meaningful, lasting change. I strive to provide a therapeutic space that is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, where you feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout the healing process.

Hello, my name is Nicole M. Thweatt, LMHC, PhD. I enjoy providing an array of therapeutic services to those in need. Over the course of 18 years in the mental health field, I have experience working with domestic violence victims, family conflict, trauma-related incidents, and emotional and behavioral matters to include depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation, low self-esteem, difficulties communicating to include social matters, etc. I can provide domestic violence awareness, conflict resolution and empowerment training, assertive communication skill training, anger management, and parent support. Services I offer include individual, family, and couples therapy with an emphasis on cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed care, brief-solution focused and psychoeducational therapeutic modalities during sessions. Please note that each session conducted will be personalized to fit your needs once an individualized treatment plan is established, which will take place at our first session. The most significant goal I wish to help others with is to improve overall psychological, behavioral, social, spiritual, and developmental health, so that a more flourishing life can be lived and maintained. Every human being was meant to thrive and deserves to reach his or her destination. Please feel free to reach out so that I can help .
