A little bit more about myself- I was born in Venezuela and raised in Aruba. I am multilingual (Spanish, English, Papiamento, and Italian).

You may have spent your life showing up for everyone else, navigating spaces where you have to work twice as hard to feel seen. You deserve a space where you don’t have to translate your experience or explain the weight of 'the hustle'—a space where your culture and identity are honored, not just acknowledged.
I provide expert, culturally-attuned support through evidence-based therapy to help you work through barriers and live fully. Vulnerability isn’t a weakness; it’s your greatest tool for change. You’ve got the vision—let’s build the path to get you there.
Hello! I'm Alesia, a licensed mental health counselor who sees individuals, couples and families. I've recognized many people are suffering in silence. If you're one of them, I want to advocate for you by teaching you how to regulate your emotions, create a more positive mental space and increase your self-esteem in the process.
I became a counselor because I found excitement and fascination in understanding why people do what they do. Adding to my ability to provide that perspective in a clinical setting, I'm fulfilling my goal of positively impacting the world. If you're ready to actively change your mental, emotional, and honestly behavioral state, I'm here to help.
I have over 20 years of experience working with teens and adults (in schools and in the community), supporting people through a variety of issues, including: stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, and big life transitions. I'll provide a safe space for you to be yourself, and we’ll move at a pace that feels manageable for you.
I am a licensed mental health counselor that believes in a holistic and blended approach with respect for the mind-body-spirit connection. Mental health is a pivotal component of all wellness.
I believe in collaborating with clients throughout the process. Clients feel supported and also challenged to take responsibility for their own success.
Hi, I’m Tara. I’m a professional counselor with 19 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change.
I became a therapist because I’ve always had a heart for helping people feel seen, heard, understood, and supported—especially during seasons when life feels overwhelming, relationships feel difficult, or you simply aren’t sure what comes next.
My approach to therapy is warm, genuine, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I want therapy to feel like a safe place where you can show up as you are without fear of judgment. You don’t need to have the perfect words or know exactly where to begin. We’ll start where you are and figure out the next steps together.
I work with clients experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship and family difficulties, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, parenting challenges, and communication struggles. I use an individualized approach that may incorporate CBT, DBT, EMDR, trauma-focused therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered therapy.
I am also a Registered Play Therapist, and working with children and families is an important part of my practice. I use play and developmentally appropriate approaches to help children express emotions, develop coping skills, and work through experiences in ways that feel natural to them.
One phrase that guides much of my work is “Awareness creates choice.” When we begin to understand ourselves, our patterns, and our experiences differently, we create opportunities to make different choices.
My goal is for you to leave therapy not only feeling better, but also understanding yourself better and feeling more confident navigating whatever comes next.
I’m a licensed mental health counselor (License #MH25984) committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, cultural understanding, and evidence-based care.

These diverse life experiences inform my work and deepen my dedication to healing.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, rooted in the belief that therapy should feel safe, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs.
In our work together, I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and person-centered techniques to help you build insight, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful change.
Seeking support takes courage. Whether you're facing stress, life transitions, or struggles with self-esteem, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward growth and healing.
Let’s begin—reach out when you’re ready.

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.

My approach is warm, practical, and goal-focused and I work to create a safe space while also helping you develop real tools you can use in everyday life. I’m especially passionate about supporting people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying responsibilities for everyone else, and I believe meaningful change happens when insight and action come together.
I began my work in the field in 2007 and have been fully licensed since 2017. I consider myself to be an exceptionally empathetic and caring counselor who meets my clients where they're at. I will push my clients to experience emotions and to sit with them in ways they haven't before. However, I do this in a safe manner where we simply expand the limits each time and create safety in each session to fully allow the client to embrace the process. I strive to help my clients make sense of their life and the experiences they've had. I have great respect for each individual's journey and understand there is value in all of us. I strive for all of my clients to feel seen, heard, respected, accepted, and not judged. From the very first session, my clients feel heard through my exceptional empathic listening skills. I ask evocative questions to get to the heart of the matter and to push the client to think more in depth and perhaps even with a different perspective about struggles or experiences that have caused them strife.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Professional in the state of Florida with over six years of professional experience providing compassionate and client-centered mental health services. I have a passion for helping young adults and adults navigate life’s challenges and develop the skills needed to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
My areas of experience include helping clients cope with life stressors, anxiety, depression, anger management, relationship challenges, and other emotional difficulties that may impact their overall well-being. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their concerns and work toward meaningful change.
I believe that every individual has the ability to grow, heal, and move forward, even during difficult seasons of life. My approach focuses on meeting clients where they are, identifying their strengths, developing practical coping strategies, and supporting them as they work toward their personal and therapeutic goals.
Throughout my years of professional practice, I have received numerous positive testimonials and feedback from clients who have successfully achieved their goals, overcome challenges, developed greater self-awareness, and experienced more fulfilling lives. These outcomes continue to strengthen my passion and commitment to the work I do.
It is my privilege to walk alongside individuals during their journey toward emotional wellness, personal growth, and a more meaningful and fulfilled life.
