Hi, I’m Glen Cognac, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. I specialize in helping adults who are struggling with addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. For years I’ve worked across different levels of care, from PHP and IOP to outpatient treatment, which has given me a unique perspective on what clients truly need at different stages of recovery and healing. My approach is neuroscience-informed and evidence-based. I draw from EMDR, CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients not only understand what is happening in their lives, but also why. By looking at how the brain and body respond to stress, trauma, and cravings, I help people build practical tools that make lasting change possible. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, nonjudgmental space where you don’t just talk about your struggles, but also discover strengths you may not have realized you had. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, ashamed, or afraid of repeating old patterns; and together we create a new way forward. If you’re looking for a therapist who will listen with compassion, offer clarity, and give you tools that actually work in daily life, I’d be honored to support you.

Hello there, my name is Mariana, and I am here to help you reach your goals. Working in the Mental health, and substance use field for the past 14 years has taught me healing does not necessarily come from one path. Based on the positive outcomes and feedback with those I have treated, I use an integrative healthcare approach, I assess the whole person including body, mind, and spirit in the context of community, considering lifestyle and habits; I work by looking at the whole person, not just symptoms. This leads us to being able to identify and to work on the challenges experienced through a lifetime. I believe that wellbeing is a general state of "contentment" with life and the way things are. In this state of contentment, we experience a sense of balance and connection to a purpose. In my practice I explore with you the main areas of wellbeing and the blockages that have been impeding you to reach your best. I see therapy as a teamwork between you and me in where you share your own experiences and I provide my clinical expertise to implement an individualized plan that works for you.

I help adults who are struggling with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem. My approach is structured, practical, and collaborative, combining evidence-based therapies with clear goals to help clients develop effective coping skills, process difficult life experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change. Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than two decades in competitive corporate environments where long hours, high expectations, and constant pressure were the norm. After earning an MBA from George Washington University and postgraduate work at Emory University, I witnessed firsthand how chronic stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, and unresolved trauma can affect every aspect of a person's life. That experience allows me to connect naturally with professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and others navigating demanding careers while also supporting adults from all walks of life. Over the past seven years, I have provided psychotherapy in psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment programs, specialized treatment settings, and private practice. Much of my clinical experience has focused on trauma recovery within a court-supervised treatment program, helping individuals process unresolved trauma, build solid recovery programs, develop healthier coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and design personal development plans that focuses on growth and execution. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying the effects of trauma, navigating a difficult relationship, or searching for a renewed sense of purpose, my goal is to provide a supportive, structured environment where we can identify the patterns keeping you stuck and build practical strategies that move you toward the life you want to create. I work to create an environment where clients feel safe enough to discuss the experiences they've carried for years while also providing a structured, goal-oriented process that translates insight into meaningful change.

I am a Seminary trained clinical therapist. I am also a combat veteran and have experience serving in ministry overseas. I have a prior career before becoming a therapist, working about 12 years overseas.

I have successfully worked with adults from many backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and religious faiths. I have experience treating clients struggling with a wide variety of mental health conditions and stressors including, but not limited to, anxiety/PTSD, and depression. I am trained in many clinical skills such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, and EFT to name a few. My ministry experience and training allow me to integrate faith easily into therapy whenever clients believe it will be most beneficial.

My name is Berthovena (Bertha for short) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in South Florida. I originally received my Masters in Social Work from Hunter College and have been professionally working in the field for over 23 years now. Since I was a child I loved serving others, and this passion is a large part of what has maintained my deep drive and love for Social Work not only as a career, but as a way of life.

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, "you don't have to keep feeling this way." 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. "Let's find a way forward together - with compassion, clarity, and lasting change." My primary goal is to help you transition from merely feeling good to truly living well. Whether you are facing a specific crisis or a slow accumulation of challenges that has left you feeling unlike yourself, my clinical work offers a safe, judgment-free space to begin moving toward greater clarity and well-being. I draw on a carefully integrated blend of evidence-based frameworks, selecting and tailoring techniques based on each client's unique needs, history, and goals. My therapeutic approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Process-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mind-body techniques. This approach is grounded in the belief that lasting change requires attending to the whole person — mind, body, and the relational world we inhabit. 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.

I love helping people and I am so excited for you that you are considering engaging in services! I believe in an integrative approach to therapy which means focusing on the whole person rather than one problematic behavior which is most often only a symptom of underlying issues. In order to most effectively address your emotional or mental well-being we must also address your physical, biological, social, and psychological functioning. If you are ready to make changes to allow you to more fully enjoy your life then I am eager to assist you towards your goals.

Are you experiencing frustration, confusion or turmoil in your life? Even to the point where you see no sense of direction while trying to navigate through life? At times, this can be overwhelming for individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, including other mental health disorders. Hi! My name is Stephaney and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with almost a decade of experience in treating adults and adolescents for various mental health challenges and co-occurring diagnoses. I was inspired to become a therapist by my unique experience migrating to the United States at the age of 13 and attending middle school which was very challenging for me. Culture shock became my reality and one that would eventually lead me to “Severe anxiety.” Even with a very strong family support system, I felt alone and trapped by my own inner fears and self-defeating thoughts. Constant worry and fear of being bullied by my peers became my everyday experience. Through all these obstacles, I was able to process my feelings and experiences with my faith in Jesus Christ, supportive family, and a few good friends. To this extent, I have come to recognize the benefits of a strong support system and the need for social and relational connection. As a mental health counselor, I’m privileged to be a part of that support system for many people. I work with my clients to connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and actions, all while providing sound strategies to promote healthier thought processes. I believe that every human being deserves a chance to be heard and understood, and therapy has taught me that as human beings, we are more alike than different. So as your therapist, I’m excited to be a listening ear for you and help guide you toward your goals.

My passion for Mental Health and Counseling has led me to serve the community as a Counselor. I believe that everyone's story deserves to be heard. The role of my job is not to give you advice, rather it is to be there for you and help you achieve your objectives. I aim to help people improve their life through working on their problems and building coping skills to deal with life challenges.

Hey there, I’m Dr. Gittelson (you can call me Dr. G. for short) and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist. I know how difficult it can be to start therapy, and if you are reading this then you have already taken a step to getting started and that is a huge win! Whether you are seeking therapy in-person or from the comfort of your couch (pet cameos are always welcome), I aim to create a space that is grounded, supportive, and free of judgement. I am so glad that you are here! If you’re interested, below is a little more about how I developed my clinical background and areas of training: My path in psychology began at Florida International University, where I earned my B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice. I later completed my Psy.D. at Nova Southeastern University, with training in neuropsychological assessment as well as clinical work in foster care and the dependency court system. During my doctoral internship at the Mental Health Center of Florida, I worked across community mental health, family court, and private clinical settings with a wide range of individuals and families. I went on to complete my postdoctoral fellowship at Alliance for Psychological Services, where I provided therapy and psychological assessments in forensic and high-intensity settings, including court-mandated work involving family court, dependency court, and the Department of Corrections. Today, I provide both therapy and psychological assessment. My clinical work often centers around anxiety, depression, trauma histories, life transitions, and complex family dynamics.

Drawing from decades of professional experience and a lifetime of personal relationships, I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and values. My goal is not to direct or dictate, but to guide and encourage, helping each person gain clarity, develop resilience, and move toward the life they were meant to live.

Hi, I'm Nicole. I help adults who are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stretched thin by life's demands find relief from anxiety, burnout, and caregiving stress so they can reconnect with themselves and build a more balanced, fulfilling life. If you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, or feeling disconnected, we’ll work together to gently explore what’s beneath the surface while building skills that support balance, clarity, and self-compassion. Clients often describe me as direct, reflective, conversational, and someone who appropriately incorporates humor when needed. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. I strive to balance compassionate support with honest feedback, helping you gain clarity while feeling empowered to make changes that align with your goals and values.
