Working with people, changing lives

I am Douglas Carmody, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Now and Zen Wellness in Carrollwood, Florida. I am passionate about helping adults heal, grow, and live more meaningful and fulfilling lives. With years of experience in both individual and group therapy, I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing. Together, we will work to build insight, resilience, and practical skills to help you move forward with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

I provide compassionate, high-quality care grounded in respect, clinical knowledge, and a deep understanding of trauma. Many individuals face emotional challenges like anxiety, depression, or anger that interfere with daily functioning — often rooted in unresolved trauma or chronic stress. My goal is to support you or your loved ones in improving your quality of life and emotional well-being. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT). I also offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy when appropriate. EMDR can be a powerful tool for healing PTSD and does not require ongoing therapy outside of EMDR sessions unless desired. I strive to make therapy approachable and comfortable, offering a calm, welcoming space where clients feel seen and supported. Whether you’re navigating life stressors, recovering from trauma, or just need someone to talk to — I’m here to walk alongside you in your healing journey.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience providing therapy to adults and adolescents facing challenges such as trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression. I serve clients who are seeking support in navigating difficult life transitions, processing loss, or managing overwhelming emotions. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, using evidence-based methods like CBT and EMDR to help clients build coping skills, reframe unhelpful thought patterns, and heal from painful experiences. The impact I strive for is to empower clients to feel more resilient, regain a sense of control, and move forward with hope and confidence.

Since becoming a counselor, I have worked in a variety of community counseling settings. I have worked with clients from ages 3 through 80 and with individuals, couples, and families. With that breadth of experience, very little shocks or surprises me and I have gotten a pretty good sense of where the types of counseling that play to my strengths as a counselor overlap with the types of counseling that are helpful for my clients. This sense (along with learning about lots and lots of research into what helps people find and maintain mental health) has led to the following guiding principles that shape all the counseling I do: 1) The client is always in charge. I know a lot of things but you will always be the one who decides what you want to get out of counseling, how we work towards that goal, whether or not what we’re doing seems to be working, and when we’re done. 2) Change and health happen through relationships. No matter what you come in for, there are always relational implications of change and relational factors that contribute to whatever it is that you came to counseling to change. 3) Counseling should be efficient. Counseling has significant costs in time and money. I think the benefits far outweigh the costs but if I can give you the benefits while helping you save on the costs then I want to do that.

My goal is to guide you through life’s most complex and difficult issues by allowing space for your feelings, designing a treatment plan based on your strengths, proven techniques and your unique individual needs. I am trained in different modalities of treatment including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, EMDR, Strength-based therapy, Mindfulness, Somatic techniques, as well as Integrative Therapies to help you reach your goals.

You deserve to feel well and live your most authentic life. I provide tools to help you embrace a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your coping mechanisms, improve your mood, and thrive with increased daily functioning, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-awareness, and authentic self-expression. When life feels overwhelming, our minds can convince us that we are alone in our daily challenges and during our most difficult times. We get used to handling it on our own. I believe there is a better way. Working with a psychotherapist who can deeply connect with where you are on your healing journey can be transformative. Transformation might look like addressing symptoms, resolving a problem, or seeking something more. By guiding you to deeper insights and clearer understandings, together, we are better able to confront the barriers that may be holding you back from the life you want to live.

Hello, I’m Lauren Matos, and I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing. With 12 years of experience providing therapy for trauma, addiction, and anxiety, I understand the challenges these struggles can bring. My approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and non-judgment, creating a safe space where you can openly explore and work through the issues you’re facing. Together, we will identify your strengths and develop personalized strategies to help you overcome obstacles and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. I’m committed to providing the understanding and support you need to feel empowered and resilient as you work toward lasting change.

I'm Marisol, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience specializing in helping women navigate life transitions, heal attachment wounds, and rediscover their authentic selves. I graduated in 2007 with a master's degree in mental health and have dedicated my career to understanding how our early experiences shape who we become, and more importantly, how we can transform those patterns. My journey began working extensively with children impacted by trauma, utilizing EMDR and trauma-informed modalities. Through this work, I witnessed firsthand how attachment wounds form and the incredible resilience of the human spirit. What I discovered was profound: when mothers heal themselves and show up authentically, entire families transform. This realization shifted my practice focus entirely. Now I work exclusively with adult women, particularly mothers navigating midlife, who are ready to do the deeper work while also seeking practical solutions. My therapeutic style blends clinical expertise with a coaching mindset. I'm trained in trauma treatment and deeply understand childhood wounds, but I work in a strength-based, real, practical way that focuses on empowerment and growth, not pathology.

Hi and welcome to the first step in your healing journey. My name is Karen Mclean, LMHC, Addiction/Trauma Therapist. I come to you with over 20 years of clinical experience, over 32 years of personal addiction recovery, and having healed my own trauma wounds, specifically with EMDR therapy. It has been my life mission to walk with, cheer for, and empower those who are hopeless, lost, and wounded. I provide a nonjudgmental, genuine, and safe healing space. Two of my favorite mottos related to healing are, "If you don't heal what hurt you, you will bleed on those who didn't cut you" and “They won’t care what we know until they know that we care.” Warmly, Karen

Starting therapy can be a difficult process. I make this process as easy for you as possible. Therapy starts with us getting to know each other and for me to understand your needs for treatment. I want to make sure that I can meet your requirements and help you work on what you came into treatment for or find you someone who can. As a therapist, I help you become the best version of yourself. My job is to give you the skills to manage difficulties when they occur. Situations occur that you may not feel equipped to handle. Let me support you to help you get through and gain insight about yourself and your ability to handle things in the future. I provide a comfortable and non-intrusive environment. I work with people to help them develop a strong sense of self, learn to have healthier relationships, learn mindfulness, distress tolerance skills, and other ways to regulate their emotions, reduce anxiety, and learn to be less impulsive. If you have moments when you think you should reach out for help or support, even if the thoughts are fleeting, I encourage you to reach out to me for support.

Hi, I'm Aaron. Are you someone who just feels like life is kicking you while you are down? Are you constantly looking in the mirror and disliking what you see?

My main focus is to empower clients to better enable them to understand what is in their control and how they can make positive changes in their life. Reaching out for help is always scary because you do not know where to start or what to expect. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back.

Hi, I’m Erin - a therapist who believes in real talk, deep healing, and helping you feel like yourself again (or maybe for the first time ever).

I’m trained in CBT, DBT, and EMDR, and I love helping clients process past trauma, shift old belief patterns, and break generational cycles that no longer serve them.

Anthony, where I helped homeless women reunite with their children and rebuild their lives. Today, in my private practice, I primarily serve college-aged adults and young professionals navigating anxiety, trauma, PTSD, personality disorders and life transitions. I specialize in trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR, to help clients process their pain and find freedom from past experiences that may still impact their present. My work is grounded in attachment theory, as I believe our relationship with ourselves sets the foundation for how we connect with others. I take pride in creating a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their emotions, rediscover their strengths, and develop healthier patterns of connection. Having gone through therapy myself as both a person and a therapist, I deeply understand the courage it takes to heal. That personal experience has made me even more empathetic and driven to guide others toward self-awareness and growth. I bring warmth, humor, and genuine care into every session, helping clients feel supported and understood as they navigate their healing journey. Ultimately, my goal is to empower individuals to feel more secure, confident, and at peace with who they are—because when we begin to heal the relationship with ourselves, we open the door to healthier, more meaningful connections with the world around us.

I'm Melanie Rosario, a licensed marriage and family therapist and co-owner of Loving Life Today.

My specialties include navigating life transitions, postpartum challenges, women’s issues, depression, and trauma.

I approach therapy with the belief that healing and growth are always possible. Change is a natural part of life, and I view counseling as a supportive space where individuals and couples can explore challenges, strengthen resilience, and move toward greater well-being. My work is grounded in compassion, empathy, and respect, creating a safe environment where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I was born in Cuba and moved to the United States with my family at a young age. Growing up in Central Florida, I became deeply curious about people, relationships, and the ways we navigate life’s struggles. That early curiosity developed into a calling to support others through their own journeys of healing and growth. Today, I work with both individuals and couples, helping them process trauma, improve communication, manage anxiety, and cultivate stronger, healthier connections. Fluent in English, Spanish, (and Spanglish), I enjoy providing therapy in whichever language feels most comfortable for my clients. My cultural background and bilingual skills allow me to offer a more inclusive and culturally sensitive counseling experience, something I believe is essential in building trust and fostering healing. In my practice, I integrate evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Gottman Method, tailoring treatment to meet each client’s unique needs. I also bring a person-centered philosophy, emphasizing empathy, authenticity, and collaboration as core elements of the therapeutic process. Outside of my professional life, I value balance and joy. I enjoy barbell strength training, which reminds me of the importance of persistence and self-care. I also love singing with my husband and spending meaningful time with family and friends. These personal joys keep me grounded and inspire the work I do with clients every day.
