What would it feel like to be heard, to know that you are valued and cared about and to believe that there is real hope for your future? Are you struggling, anxious, grieving, overwhelmed? You are not alone. Life is really hard right now. You deserve self care and support. Difficult and painful experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. As both a Wisconsin and Florida licensed mental health counselor (LPC, LMHC), I offer you a safe place to talk about and explore all those concerns.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of Arizona and Indiana. I received a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Purdue University and a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Christian Theological Seminary. I have had the opportunity to work in and gain knowledge from a diverse collection of settings that include elementary, middle and high school, hospital chaplaincy department, private practice and private agencies working with families in the child welfare system. Each of these settings has provided me with hands-on experience working with individuals and families in crisis, as well as those who are faced with navigating some of life’s challenges such as divorce, loss, and addiction. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I love a systems approach, understanding that we do not exist in a vacuum, but rather are part of larger systems. I take a non-judgmental, warm approach to therapy and I believe in tailoring my therapy towards my client's individual needs. Together we will establish goals and design a path towards a healthier way of being. I draw from a multitude of therapeutic techniques that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solutions Focused Therapy. Clients who work with me have a desire to change. Whether facing everyday challenges that are holding them back from living a fulfilling life or struggling with family dynamics that have caused distress or trying to navigate through grief, my clients can learn to use their insight to find new ways of functioning that better serve what they want from this life. My clients can see a future for themselves that brings peace, happiness and healing. The first step towards seeking help is often the most difficult. I am excited that you are here and look forward to taking this journey alongside you.

I can help you work through common stressors such as workplace issues, relationship issues, anxiety, and figuring out who you are. I believe that you are who you are based upon your life experiences but that does not mean you can't change and be who you want to be. I can also help if you have chronic pain or medical problems.

I'm Karen, and I'm here to help support your journey to wellness. I hold a PhD in Counseling, and I am licensed in both Florida (LMHC) and Maryland (LCPC). I've worked with clients in counseling and have trained counseling graduate students for over 20 years. Early in my career, I specialized in helping clients work through interpersonal trauma, such as sexual abuse and physical abuse. Since then, I have widened my scope of practice to more general needs, such as anxiety and depression, but always with an awareness of trauma-informed practice when applicable. I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I believe there is always room for hope and optimism, and that compassion, empathy, and understanding bring us greater fulfillment in our lives. My passion for travel and photography have taught me how a change of perspective can fundamentally change the way the world looks. Hope I can help YOU get a change of perspective in your life!

Hi, I am Dr. Rolanda Harris. I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Alabama and Florida, as well as a Qualified Supervisor in Florida. I am the owner of Intentional Counseling and Consulting, LLC. I have 24 years of experience supporting and empowering individuals to navigate and cope with life's challenges. I am an intentional counselor who proactively plans my interactions and interventions based on a clear understanding of your situation and desired outcomes. I aim to understand your needs, strengths, and values to create a personalized plan that aligns with your goals and fosters positive change. Intention is more than wishful thinking; it is willful direction. As an intentional counselor, I have had the privilege of working with chronically and terminally ill patients and their families, supporting them as they manage the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual impact of their illness. I have experience working with college students needing support adjusting to college life, building confidence, navigating social situations, and managing stress and anxiety. I have spent years walking with bereaved individuals as they process intense emotions, attempt to understand the grieving process, and find meaning after loss. It has been an honor to support elderly individuals managing grief, the fear of mortality and aging, adapting to retirement, addressing social isolation, and experiencing a range of mental health challenges. I have also had the pleasure of supporting single mothers as they navigate the emotional impact of motherhood, mental health issues, financial stress, and building a support system. In my practice, I do not rely solely on one specific theory, but rather draw upon different theoretical perspectives. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapies, Reminiscence Therapy, and Grief Therapy.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Provider/ Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Florida. I graduated with a Master in Clinical Social Work (MSW) from Florida Gulf Coast University. Before my studies at FGCU, I was in the rental business and felt that I was in my calling when I did volunteer work helping people in the US and abroad. After much thought and consulting with family and friends, I decided I wanted to work more hands on helping hurting people through counseling. My philosophy is ultimately to make a difference in the world by helping hurting people.

Hello and welcome to Grow Therapy Counseling! I am Paula Porterfield-Izzo. I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 1994. Are you trying to become the best version of yourself? Are you struggling with challenges in life and/or difficulties in a relationship? Or, are you struggling with grief, low self esteem, depression or anxiety? You are not meant to work it all out on your own, or carry all that weight on your shoulders. I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 1994, who provides a professional voice of guidance. I specialize in, and enjoy, helping individuals, couples or families to navigate through the troubled waters of life. I have found much success counseling couples to improve communication and connection. I have much success in helping individuals to cope with difficult family, work, or personal relationships. I have successfully helped people to walk through loss and grief. I provide solution-oriented therapy. I teach relaxation and mindfulness exercises to people experiencing anxiety and cognitive behavioral techniques to people experiencing depression. For persons experiencing trauma, we will work together, giving a nod to the past, learning how it is impacting the present. My practice is open to all regardless of religious affiliation, race, ethnicity or disability. I incorporate faith-based Christian counseling into the counseling experience, to those seeking.

Hello there, I'm Liz! I work with clients who are wanting to heal from past trauma experiences and get to the root causes of their struggles. Trauma changes the way you view yourself, others, and the world. It often has lasting impacts that can be manifested in your current struggles with anxiety, depression, true fulfillment in relationships, diminished executive functioning, and difficulty with honoring your needs and boundaries. My goal is to help you gain insight, build self-awareness, and foster personal growth. Some areas of focus I enjoy addressing with my clients include boundary building, negative core beliefs, strengthening internal validation, self-care, identifying trauma responses, addressing attachment wounds, aligning to your values, improving daily functioning, and developing healthy coping strategies. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic models and techniques to help my clients including but not limited to Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Polyvagal Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. For those who desire and request it, I can integrate Christian-based counseling into the therapeutic process. I believe education/knowledge of what you are going through sets the foundation to the therapeutic work you will be doing.

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, we may be a good fit for each other. 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. My primary goal is to help you transition from merely feeling good to truly living well. I draw from a range of educational, career, and life experiences to support individuals holistically. My therapeutic approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Process-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mind-body techniques. As a licensed marriage and family therapist and a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst with over 30 years of experience, I employ compassion, positive psychology, and Mindfulness to help adults and adolescents reach their fullest potential. Therapy provides a safe space to address mental health struggles and overcome challenges. My methods, particularly ACT, CBT, and Positive Psychology, are effective in treating issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma. They also assist individuals and couples facing relationship or parenting difficulties. 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.

Hello! I am Dinorah Escala, a mental health counselor licensed in the state of Florida. I have over a decade of experience collaborating with clients from diverse cultural, ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds. I have advanced training in the preparation of immigration evaluations (Hardship Waivers, Cancellation of Removal, VAWA, Asylum, T & U Visas and more). I also hold a mater's degree in Business Administration and certification as an Interpreter/Translator (Spanish/English). Before becoming a therapist, I held positions in the US Government and private (IT) sector. However, my passion for learning about human behavior led me to a final shift to mental health and coaching. My exposure to diverse cultures and personal experience after residing in different countries allows me to better understand the specific challenges faced by the immigrant community, especially from the female perspective. I also help clients dealing with stress, anxiety and depression that usually arise from the challenges of day-to-day living or life changes.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my profile. Do you ever feel stuck, hopeless, or weighed down by past experiences that still cause pain? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, or feelings of not being “good enough”? You don’t have to carry these challenges alone. In therapy, my role is to walk alongside you—helping you process difficult experiences, explore new perspectives, strengthen your inner resources, and build healthier boundaries. Together, we can work toward both your short-term relief and your long-term growth. I have over 9 years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, supporting individuals through trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, anger management, self-worth challenges, parenting struggles, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your needs. I primarily use person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical-behavioral therapies, and I also integrate EMDR for trauma, anxiety, and phobias. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create positive changes in your life.

Howdy y'all! I’m Kendra, your friendly Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over five years of experience dedicated to helping people navigate life's challenges. Holding a degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work from Florida State University, I’ve had the privilege of supporting the vibrant people of Florida. I'm a therapist who believes healing doesn't have to be stiff, serious, or done on a strict timeline. Sometimes, it looks like rolling in on two wheels to make it "just on time," venting about your day, and finally saying outloud "I'm really just tired of holding it all together." I work with adults who are overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out and being "fine" all the time just isn't working anymore. Whether you're navigating the mental load of motherhood, trying to find yourself again after a major life shift, or stuck in that loop of overthinking and self-doubt, I'm here to help you slow down, breathe, and feel human again. My style is warm, laid-back, and trauma-informed meaning, we go at your pace - no pressure, no judgment. I offer a supportive space where you don't have to have it all figured out; you just bring your whole, real self to therapy (messy feelings, messy bun, and all) and I'll bring curiosity, compassion, and a few solid tools to help you feel more grounded.

It's okay not to be OK sometimes, to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or even depressed. Still, these feelings can make it difficult to maintain healthy relationships and to feel like the best version of ourselves. The good news is that you're not alone, and seeking help is an important step, which I commend you for taking! I want you to know I am here to support you as a caring and trained professional. A veces esta bien no estar "bien." Quiero que sepas que es comun batallar con estos sentimientos abrumadores, ansiosos o incluso deprimentes. Aun asi, estos sentimientos pueden hacer dificil el tener relaciones saludables y ser la mejor versión de nosotros mismos. Pero sepa que no está solo. Buscar ayuda es un paso importante y lo felicito por dar este importante paso. Quiero que sepas que estoy aquí para apoyarte.
