Your mind is always busy. Its like you have 50 browser tabs open on your computer, you can’t remember which one you were supposed to be looking at, and one of them is playing music! You’re so tired but can never seem to rest. You forgot to switch the laundry over, again. There is something sticky on the floor and you are late for an appointment! Something has got to give…maybe it is time for a new notebook? New calendar system? Maybe you should just make one on Canva real quick...Does this sound familiar? Feeling seen (or attacked)? If so, you may be in the right place! I'm Kim 😊 I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker, trauma therapist, ADHDer, mom, serial hobbiest, and corgi lover.

Anxiety can be debilitating, and I don’t want you to have to suffer anymore. Those racing thoughts that feel uncontrollable do not have to be the main character in your life. I look forward to teaching you the strategies that will give you your life back. We’ll start by untangling your thoughts and feelings so you can gain clarity.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Masters from the University of South Florida. I have been practicing for 5 years. I have worked in a number of settings and population. From client with psychosis to challenges with managing life events. As young as 6 years old to mid 60s. I assist clients with their human experience and how to better become the best versions of themselves.

I am dedicated to empowering my clients as we work together to overcome the everyday challenges of life. By exploring the underlying behavioral and emotional patterns that often arise from unmet needs or unresolved wounds, we can uncover meaningful insights and lasting change.

My goal is to guide you toward your goals. I consider it a privilege and an honor to walk with you as you create a life you don’t want to escape.

Hello. I am Eddie Do you feel constantly on edge—tense, anxious, or jittery? Are trembling, sweaty hands making everyday moments harder? Have dread and fear been weighing you down? Maybe your relationships feel strained—every conversation with your partner turning into a disagreement—or perhaps the simple joy and ease you once had feel out of reach. For over 20 years, I’ve helped people find their inner strength and build confidence they didn’t know they had. I dedicate my work to assisting individuals in achieving greater self-awareness, healthy assertiveness, and the courage to be vulnerable in safe, empowering ways. Drawing from my expertise and experience, I teach proven coping strategies that help you navigate life’s stressors with clarity and resilience. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds, each bringing unique strengths and challenges to the process. My approach is multifaceted, grounded in cognitive‑behavioral techniques. I am committed to challenging unhelpful thought patterns and inspiring fresh perspectives that facilitate change.

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.

Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have over 11 years of experience working with children, teens, adults and families on a host of different issues. I have gained valuable experiences working in private practice, in a pregnancy center, working with the homeless population, community mental health and the Church. All these experiences helped to make me the rounded clinician that I am today. Many individuals focus on their physical health while ignoring the most important aspect of their being and that is their mental health. I believe that focusing on one's mental health shows fortitude and strength. You don't have to let anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, or even career decisions prevent you from realizing your true potential. I take clients on the journey until they arrive at their destination. “Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start.” Nido Qubein. This quote sums up what I believe when it comes to working with my clients. Where you are right now does not define you, it is your starting point to get you moving in the right direction. The thought of therapy may sound daunting to you, but I can assure you that this could be one of the best decisions that you ever made. Investing in your mental health is priceless. You deserve to be heard and to be healed. This is my story, What’s yours? Let’s talk.

Ready to make some changes in your life? We all have a lot going on in our lives and are often being pulled in different directions, making it hard to consider therapy as a helpful resource. I'm here to remind you how beneficial it can be for you. I work with my clients to try and find balance in their lives in order to have a more meaningful life. I aim to best help you reach your goals and meet you where you are. My therapy style is warm and calm.

If you’re interested in scheduling an appointment with me, I offer availability in the evenings to best meet your needs around the work week. Looking forward to working we together!

I like to meet my clients where they are in life in a relaxed atmosphere. Even my most skeptical clients had shared they liked the practical and conversational-style sessions. I am passionate about organizing and managing life's challenges in a safe, non-judgmental environment with room to laugh and cry. I help my clients develop the skills and tools they need to navigate their challenges and teach them how to step back and recognize which ones to use in different situations.

I am licensed in Florida with 7 years of professional work experience.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker having been in practice for the past 33 years as a Clinical Social Worker working with individuals and couples.

Struggling with addiction can feel isolating—but you don’t have to face it alone. Whether you are dealing with substance use, alcohol dependence, or trying to make sense of repeated relapses, I offer a space where you can be honest, understood, and supported without judgment. With over 15 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) in Florida, I’ve worked alongside individuals at every stage of recovery. I understand how complex addiction is—and how much strength it takes to ask for help. I specialize in working with people navigating addiction, trauma, mental health challenges, and major life transitions. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care to support meaningful, lasting change. I believe therapy works best when it’s a collaborative process—where your voice is valued and your goals guide the work we do together. I also bring a personal understanding of the recovery process, which allows me to meet clients with both clinical expertise and authentic empathy. Whether you’re newly sober, returning to recovery, or just starting to question your relationship with substances, you’ll be met with compassion, honesty, and real support every step of the way.

I’m Nicole Whitley, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified grief counselor dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s most difficult seasons. I specialize in supporting clients through grief, loss, anxiety, and depression, creating a safe and compassionate space to process emotions, heal, and rebuild. My approach blends professional expertise with genuine empathy, guiding you toward hope, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.

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.

Have you lost your balance in relationships and need to recalibrate? Want to close the gap between who you are and who you want to be? Do you feel anxiety or depression robbing you of your own life and need help finding the GOOD? I can help! As a licensed mental health counselor working in private practice, I have experience with children, individuals, couples, and families. As a school district counselor leader and trainer, as well as a fitness instructor, I can help guide you to live your best life through goal setting and goal reaching in nearly every area of your life. It may feel like a big step to try something new, but it will be worth it! I would be honored to support you in unraveling the knots of your heart, mind, and body and help you breathe easily, taking next steps for growth on your unique journey.

Hi, I'm Katie, a Licensed Clinical Social. Helping and supporting others has been a driving factor in my life; therefore, I began my career as a teacher. My education and experience in the classroom greatly influenced me; however, I saw how difficult it is to learn when one is struggling with many emotional and mental health needs. While in graduate school, I transitioned to working with families in more of a case management role. During that time, I started noticing how the adults I worked with were often struggling and had not received the help they needed. After completing graduate school, I began working in an inpatient hospital that treats mental health and chemical dependency. After several years working with patients individually and facilitating group therapy, I transitioned to managing an intensive outpatient mental health program for senior adults. In this role, I facilitated group therapy and met with patients individually at times. I greatly enjoyed getting to know my clients and cheering alongside them as they made progress. While I value group therapy, I recognize that it is not the right fit for everyone. Therefore, I have set up a private practice to meet the needs of individuals in ways I was unable to do in previous roles. I believe change is possible and that each person has strengths and life experiences that they can draw upon to help themselves move forward. My passion is helping clients utilize what they already have, learn additional tools for coping, and develop healthier ways of thinking.

I am committed to providing personalized and empathetic mental health care. I have extensive experience in both outpatient and inpatient treatment settings, I've worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, guiding them through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. I work from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques.

I'm a solution-based therapist who has been practicing for 20 years. My specialties include dealing with toxic people, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, life transitions, career confusion and grief. My goal is to find the right coping skill(s) for your particular situation. I want you to feel our time is productive and I want to get you out of therapy as quickly as possible, providing you with tools that will help you maintain emotional peace and confidence. Check out my website to learn more - www.marcielliott.com. Think we might be a good fit? Schedule an appointment so we can get to work! *PLEASE NOTE: All NEW client intake paperwork is required to be completed AND submitted no later than 24 hours prior to our appointment or we will need to reschedule. Thank You.

Hello, my name is Takiyah Thomas Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida with 5 years of experience. I want to start affirming you by saying "You are improving your mental health symptoms every day." I'm stating this because you made the healthy choice to seek therapy. As your therapist I will always be on the lookout for strengths and empowering tools that I can use to keep you motivated to stay the course. Why?
