My path to becoming a mental health provider has been deeply influenced by both my personal background and my professional experiences. Growing up, I was surrounded by the work of my mother, who was a social worker. I saw firsthand the impact she had on individuals and families, and it inspired me to pursue a similar career. I was always drawn to the idea of helping others navigate difficult circumstances and providing support during times of crisis or transition. Her work shaped my understanding of the value of compassion, empathy, and practical intervention in improving lives.
As a licensed therapist, I specialize in helping individuals manage the emotional, psychological, and practical aspects of these life adjustments.
I take a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy, emphasizing empathy and understanding. My methods are tailored to each person’s unique experiences and challenges. Over time, we’ll work together to deepen your self-awareness, develop coping mechanisms, and create practical tools for managing the ups and downs of life.
I provide a safe space where you can feel heard and supported as you explore your feelings and develop skills to move forward. I focus on helping you make meaningful shifts in how you think, feel, and act. If you’re ready to take the first step toward navigating life’s transitions with more ease and confidence, I’m here to help.
Hi, I'm Monique! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who believes that therapy should feel like a genuine conversation; not a place where you have to have all the right answers or pretend everything is okay.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, life transitions, and questions about identity or purpose. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity. Rather than simply focusing on symptoms, I like to understand the experiences, patterns, and beliefs that shape them so we can create meaningful, lasting change.
I believe every person has strengths that can become difficult to see during life's hardest moments. My role is to help you reconnect with those strengths, better understand yourself, and move toward the life you want to build.
Welcome to the start of a new chapter in your life; Having the vulnerability to begin this journey is a huge step in the right direction, and I am proud of you!
While working together, my approach will be warm and collaborative. I believe YOU are the expert on your own life, and in our work together, I’ll provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to help you tap into your inner strength and build a toolkit for lasting change.
I'm a therapist with six years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. My approach is person-centered — I meet you where you're at, using CBT and EMDR depending on what's useful for you, not a one-size-fits-all plan. I have a particular passion for substance use work, and I believe change is possible even when it feels impossible right now. Sessions are held virtually, at a pace that's yours.
I'm Patt Somasri, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion and curiosity. I would like to create a welcoming, affirming space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. Therapy to me is about collaborating, and making personalized plan to match your unique needs. Rather than believing there is one "right" way to heal, you are in control of what "right" is for you.
My therapy style is eclectic as I draw from evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based interventions. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for trauma and distressing memories.
Hello! I’m so happy you’re here! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern Indiana in 2020.

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.

I'm Erikka, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions with warm, trauma-informed care that helps you breathe, heal, and reconnect with yourself.
I work especially with people dealing with trauma, persistent depression, and anxiety. My approach is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. We’ll work together to understand what is happening, why certain patterns keep showing up, and what you can realistically do to change them.
I believe therapy should be both compassionate and useful. I will listen and validate your experience, but I will also challenge you when it is helpful and teach you skills you can use outside of our sessions.
Most importantly, you don’t have to come into therapy knowing exactly what you need. You just need to be willing to start figuring it out. My job is to meet you where you are, help you understand yourself better, and work with you toward feeling more like yourself again.
I completed my Masters in 2005, while also starting my journey in the field in 2004. I spent a year working in Opiate addiction but my true passion was children and families. I moved on to intensive services, working with underserved children and their families in rural areas, from 2005-2007. After leaving that position, I moved onto a company doing similar work. where I continued to work with children, families and adults that were underserved for 5 more years. I provided therapy in homes, schools and the office setting. I began to focus in on Trauma work as well as anxiety disorders to include OCD and all other anxiety disorders. After spending nearly 10 years in the field, I decided to get my license in the state of Florida (LMHC-Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and move into a management role where I worked for the past 13 years while also maintaining private clients. I supervise therapists, working to become licensed, so I spend a lot of time consulting on cases of all kinds. In this time I was also trained in various forms of trauma based cognitive behavioral approaches as well as EMDR (still learning however).
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Board Certified Art Therapist, and my approach is strength based and client centered. Although I mostly use a cognitive behavioral framework, art therapy is something special I offer to my clients knowing it can be a powerful and unique way to process emotions and experiences. Whether a client is going through a challenging life transition, suffer from more chronic clinical diagnoses or have areas of life they want to reflect on to change or improve, I encourage them to reach out for a complimentary consult call. I look forward to working with individuals on their own journey of personal growth and healing.

Hello, I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of professional experience supporting individuals on their journey to healing and personal growth.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma. depression, stress, and life transitions, using evidence-based approaches and trauma-informed therapy. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, strengthen coping skills, and move forward with greater confidence. I believe therapy should feel both encouraging and practical, helping you grow while honoring your unique experiences.
I believe that healing begins in a relationship where you feel seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you can explore life's challenges with honesty and curiosity.
My role is not to tell you who to be or what decisions to make. Instead, I serve as a compassionate guide, helping you better understand yourself, recognize patterns that may no longer serve you, and discover strengths you may not yet see in yourself. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change.
My approach is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I understand that our early experiences shape how we view ourselves, connect with others, and respond to life's challenges. Together, we'll explore those experiences with compassion, helping you rewrite unhelpful narratives and build healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. I bring warmth, empathy, curiosity, and gentle honesty to each session, creating an environment where you can be your full, authentic self. While I offer support and validation, I also encourage reflection and meaningful action so that lasting change can take place.

My goal is to help you cultivate resilience, self-compassion, and confidence so you can create a life that feels aligned with your values and authentic sense of self.
I believe therapy is not about fixing what is "wrong" with you—it's about uncovering your strengths, fostering emotional healing, and empowering you to move forward with greater clarity, purpose, and peace.
I am a compassionate and authentic therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, creating a safe space where clients can explore their experiences without judgment.

Through my own life experiences, I understand that life can bring unexpected challenges, loss, and moments when we question our ability to move forward. These experiences have deepened my empathy and strengthened my commitment to helping others feel less alone in their struggles.

Welcome, and come as you are. I believe that meaningful change begins with understanding yourself on a deeper level. Many of the struggles we experience in adulthood, whether in relationships, self-worth, anxiety, trauma, communication, or life satisfaction, are shaped by patterns that developed long before we were aware of them. My role is to help you identify those patterns, understand why they exist, and create lasting change rather than simply managing symptoms.

Hi All!
I am from a small town off of San Diego, California but spent most of my career working with people who lived in some of the more impoverished areas of Los Angeles. My speciality was/is working with highly at-risk youth and families and I loved doing it; I think I got as much from the experience as did my clients.
Personally, I grew up as a fairly good athlete and could often be found on a tennis court, running & cycling around town and even at the gym. I love animals and I have two big dogs and two cats. I am spiritual and attend church regularly. I love the beach and ocean; I have recently moved to Sarasota and am truly enjoying it.
As most therapists do, I have my own history of fighting through some emotionally difficult times and am beyond happy to tell you that with some assistance, I managed to come out the other side and am now quite well and happy today!
Professionally, I have had several careers including, Federal & Local law enforcement and driving as FEDEX Delivery driver while getting my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. After several years of completing the required 3,000 hours of hands-on service, I passed the exams and ultimately became a fully Licensed Marriage Family Therapist.
My practice has provided me with the opportunity to work with persons with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Schizophrenia and more. I am trained and qualified to provide mental health treatment to kids, families, couples and individual adults.
I love my job; I love helping people. It would be an honor if you would consider entrusting me to assist you with anything from your smaller troubles to bigger issues and beyond; I believe that we can achieve great success together.

My clients receive validated clinical test to measure their progress.

My therapy approach also includes stress testing, self-esteem testing and homework will be assigned after each session. The goal of my therapy approach is to help my clients improve their well-being and help them to reduce their stress.

Are you experiencing frustration, confusion or turmoil in your life? Even to the point where you see no sense of direction while trying to navigate through life? At times, this can be overwhelming for individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, including other mental health disorders. Hi! My name is Stephaney and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with almost a decade of experience in treating adults and adolescents for various mental health challenges and co-occurring diagnoses.
I was inspired to become a therapist by my unique experience migrating to the United States at the age of 13 and attending middle school which was very challenging for me. Culture shock became my reality and one that would eventually lead me to “Severe anxiety.” Even with a very strong family support system, I felt alone and trapped by my own inner fears and self-defeating thoughts. Constant worry and fear of being bullied by my peers became my everyday experience.
Through all these obstacles, I was able to process my feelings and experiences with my faith in Jesus Christ, supportive family, and a few good friends. To this extent, I have come to recognize the benefits of a strong support system and the need for social and relational connection.
As a mental health counselor, I’m privileged to be a part of that support system for many people. I work with my clients to connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and actions, all while providing sound strategies to promote healthier thought processes. I believe that every human being deserves a chance to be heard and understood, and therapy has taught me that as human beings, we are more alike than different. So as your therapist, I’m excited to be a listening ear for you and help guide you toward your goals.
Hi I'm Sisi:
Thank you for reaching out! My top priority is to ALWAYS ensure your well-being as well as providing you with the necessary skills and tools to help you achieve your goals. My approach to therapy is very person-centered and integrative meaning that your needs come first and that you are an equal partner in the planning of your care. Along with traditional talk therapy, I also like to incorporate holistic and medical remedies to ensure your treatment is tailored to you and your needs. My specialities include but not limited depression, anxiety, ADHD, chronic illness, substance abuse, and family issues. It would be my honor to join you on your journey to healing.

I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and a systemic perspective, recognizing that our experiences are shaped by our relationships, family systems, and environment. In Narrative Therapy, I believe that the problem is the problem, not the person. Together, we work to separate individuals from the challenges they face, helping them develop more empowering and meaningful life stories.
I also integrate mindfulness-based interventions to help clients increase self-awareness, manage difficult emotions, and remain grounded during times of stress. My goal is to meet clients where they are, providing a safe, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, respected, and supported throughout their therapeutic journey.

Desde la Terapia Narrativa, creo que el problema es el problema; la persona no es el problema. Juntos exploramos cómo los desafíos han influido en su vida y trabajamos para construir una historia más saludable, resiliente y alineada con sus valores.
También incorporo técnicas de mindfulness (atención plena) para ayudar a mis clientes a desarrollar mayor conciencia del momento presente, regular sus emociones y afrontar el estrés de una manera más efectiva.

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy attending live performances, visiting amusement parks, engaging in arts and crafts, watching horror movies and true crime shows, spending time outdoors, savoring sushi, playing games, and training and competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
My journey as a therapist began with a deep fascination for the human mind and a genuine desire to make a positive impact in people's lives after growing up in the foster care system. I previously served in the Air Force, serving my country. I have a bachelor's in dietetics and nutrition with years of nutrition counseling as well. Over the years, I have honed my skills, gaining experience in various therapeutic techniques and approaches to better serve my clients.
Let's Talk About It Holistic Healing is a compassionate therapy practice dedicated to providing trauma-informed care for both children and adults. Our mission is to create a safe, supportive space where individuals can begin their healing journey, process past experiences, and develop the tools they need to thrive in life. Through a combination of traditional therapy methods and holistic practices, we aim to address the mind, body, and spirit in a comprehensive way.
We specialize in helping individuals work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges. Our approach is grounded in understanding that trauma impacts everyone differently, and we tailor our therapy to meet each person’s unique needs. Whether it’s through talk therapy, mindfulness techniques, or integrating alternative healing methods such as yoga and breath work, our goal is to empower clients to reclaim their well-being and move forward with strength and resilience.
At Let's Talk About It Holistic Healing, we believe healing is not one-size-fits-all, and we are committed to offering a personalized, holistic approach to therapy that respects the individuality and dignity of every person. Whether you're a child needing guidance in navigating emotions or an adult seeking to overcome past wounds, our team of experienced and empathetic therapists is here to support you every step of the way.
I am welcoming to all who struggle with anger, trauma, psychosis, and stage of life issues such as divorce or loss. I specialize in individual counseling for substance abuse, anger, trauma, psychosis, and domestic violence.
I enjoy using Jungian psychology as a resource to help people explore the depth of their struggles and find hope on the other side. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused therapy as tools to accomplish this.
Things can get better, and we can be okay--no matter what life brings our way. I enjoy the opportunity to help people explore and move their lives forward. There is always hope, and there is always opportunity to grow.
I work with adults who feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from themselves and are ready to look honestly at what's not working in their lives. Most of the people I see are juggling demanding careers, family responsibilities, or both, and have been pushing through anxiety, low mood, or chronic overwhelm for longer than they'd like to admit.
The work I'm most drawn to: anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, women's issues, and the patterns that keep us stuck.
