I received my Master's in Social work from University of West Florida in 2016, and became licensed in 2018. Since receiving my LCSW, I have had the pleasure of working with a large range of clients, from specialized foster care, to being a medical social worker for the geriatric population.

My specialty is grief, but I have helped clients in other areas of mental health, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma.

As a therapist, my priority is creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and safe to explore what’s most important to you. I work collaboratively with clients, drawing from approaches like CBT, REBT, mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy to support healing, growth, and meaningful change. I specialize in treating anxiety and depression that stem from core maladaptive beliefs, particularly those rooted in low self-worth and self-esteem. My goal is to help you challenge these patterns, build self-compassion, and reconnect with your inherent value. Clients have described me as compassionate, grounded, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy works best when it’s tailored to you, so I’ll always meet you where you are—with curiosity, respect, and a sense of humor when it helps. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together at a pace that feels right.

Zephyrhills, IL - Accepting clients in FL

Hi! My name is Jacqueline Lizarazo, and I go by Jackie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in therapy for individuals, children, and couples, with a focus on grief, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and sexual abuse. Why Choose Me: I want you to read the following passages: On Abuse: “I lived in a glass house into which my mother could look at any time. In a glass house, however, you cannot conceal anything without giving yourself away, except by hiding it under the ground. And then you cannot see it yourself, either.” On Depression: “Trees aren’t supposed to display fruit; they’re supposed to produce it. As much as I wanted to see results, I knew that I had to wait. The tree had to become healthy and mature before it could produce the fruit, and that takes time.” If what you read resonates with you, this is the type of therapy I offer. I push, and sometimes might make you cry—not to harm, but for growth. I deeply care about my patients and only want the best for you. I am not judgmental; I am here to listen and provide feedback. I often ask myself the question: if I were sitting where you are, would I come back? And the answer is yes. I give homework, so don’t expect it to be easy unless we need it to be. I am flexible, and my schedule is pretty open to fit your needs. We’re going to have days where we just catch up and talk about what happened that week but be prepared to talk about your past. I believe together we can grow into the person you want to be.

Hi there, I'm Jessyca. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 5 years experience. I help and specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, and families with communication, anxiety, depression, behavior management, and more! As much as I love to talk to individuals about how they are feeling, I am motivated and passionate about being interactive with clients when processing their thoughts and feelings. I also have a fun option for teens. Mindful Culinary Therapy is dedicated to making the healing power of cooking safe and accessible. At MCT, I love empowering youth to discover and harness their own creativity through food. For many of us, it is hard to open up to strangers and express serious traumatic or even simple issues that we face daily, but what happens when we keep our minds busy, our hearts open., and stomachs full? Being able to express your thoughts and emotions in a more relaxed, creative, fun, and inspiring environment, gives a person more freedom to be able to become more vulnerable, comfortable, and at peace within themselves.

Bridgeport, CT - Accepting clients in FL

Are you wondering if your drug or alcohol use is becoming a problem? Or maybe you know it is, but feel powerless to stop. Perhaps your struggle looks different—binge eating, compulsive spending, sabotaging your success at work or in relationships. These self-destructive patterns can take many forms, but they often have one thing in common: they feel automatic, inescapable, and deeply frustrating. These behaviors may seem like choices, but they often serve a hidden purpose—keeping you safe in the familiar, avoiding painful emotions, or preserving a status quo that no longer serves you. Over time, they can trap you in cycles of shame, regret, and hopelessness.

Huntsville, AL - Accepting clients in FL

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am committed to collecting evidenced based "tools for my toolbox" to aid those grappling with finding the new normal after their world has shifted. I most love helping people find language to describe their losses, often when there has been difficulty finding the words, inspiring people to find hope again, and facilitate the development of a plan to move forward in a way that both honors their experiences and embraces the future. I take an action-oriented, collaborative approach to therapy. I utilize a combination of psycho education, storytelling, and evidenced-based interventions to offer meaningful insight to support clients’ healing. I strongly believe that rock bottom is the foundation upon which we can rebuild our lives. We do regular check-ins to review progress along the way. Our goal is not to change the past, but instead to find some relief from symptoms that impact daily functioning. I will solicit feedback regularly during sessions for takeaways to gauge progress and curate treatment interventions based on what is most engaging and productive for the individual client.

Allentown, PA - Accepting clients in FL

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I hold licenses in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and specialty certification as a Certified Advanced Drug & Alcohol Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am a firm believer in everything that happens creates the person. I am a whole life counselor and work with people to explore what it would take to move past the difficult times in life. I take the time to get to know my clients and have many clients who have been with me for years. That doesn't mean someone will see me every week for the rest of their life. It means client know I am available when they have need. I do have clients who have seen me weekly for years not because they are dependent on me but because they have found benefit in processing their life regularly. I have had a successful personal practice for years and can offer clients the space and reverence to unpack the most unpleasant things to reorder them in a way they no longer can cause harm as they once did. There is no perfect childhood and it is likely families do the best they can and it may not have filled the needs of their child. I am happy to take as much time as needed to work through the problem as you understand it.
