I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida, with a Master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University, earned in 2019. I have a deep passion for helping individuals navigate the challenges of trauma, depression, and anxiety. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and empowerment, enabling clients to rediscover their voice and confidence. I thrive on building strong, trusting relationships with those I work with, which allows for meaningful progress in their healing journeys. My experience spans diverse populations, including children, adolescents, and adults from various cultural backgrounds, and I value the unique perspectives each individual brings to the therapeutic process.

Darlene M. Amin, M.A., LMHC has over 15 years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I work with adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, co-dependency, and addiction. I am also EMDR trained and have helped clients process early trauma, i.e. before language, childhood emotional neglect, anxiety, OCD and addictions. I am also certified in Mindfulness and Meditation practices, and I am an LGBTQ+ ally. I have a plethora of modalities and interventions to apply to your mental health or social concerns, including Integrative Mental Health (IMH) and I’m working toward certification. (IMH) is the understanding that mind, body, and spirit are interconnected and influence each other. Complimentary methods are explored to reduce symptoms and create a healthy lifestyle that will incorporate all aspects of wellness for a well-rounded life experience.

Thank you for considering me as your personal mental health therapist and emotions coach. Over the last few years, we have collectively endured traumatic, distressing, and challenging times that have reshaped how we view the world and how we choose to move forward within it. For many, this has meant clinging to familiar beliefs for comfort. For others, the weight of trauma, hopelessness, and fatigue has left them feeling stuck, unable to access their inner strengths or resilience. I believe that in those moments, we all need someone to help guide us back from the darkness into the light. I want to be that beacon of light for you. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with more than 15 years of counseling experience and over 20 years of serving families. My treatment philosophy is rooted in the belief that every individual has strengths that can be nurtured to foster healing and growth. By combining psychotherapy and clinical social work theories within a strength-based model, I help clients build coping strategies, discover new tools, and reclaim their sense of well-being. Our work together will focus on developing a trusting, supportive, and confidential therapeutic relationship—one that is grounded in empathy, respect, and validation, without pity or blame. My practice integrates Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, all within a behavioral change framework. These approaches allow me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, helping you move forward with resilience, clarity, and hope. Healing is a journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. My role is to walk beside you, providing guidance, insight, and encouragement as you rediscover your strength and reclaim your light.

My name is Richelle Direny, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Qualified Supervisor with more than 15 years of experience. I am honored to join your journey towards personal growth and well-being. I am committed to helping each individual learn how to cope with the stress of life, having too many responsibilities, anxiety, setting clear boundaries, and coping with decline in functioning and other stressors in life. Through my practice, I utilize various therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Emotional Awareness techniques, and Faith-Based Therapy, to name a few. My aim is to help you become the best version of yourself while managing whatever season of life may arise for you. My extensive experience spans various settings and populations. I have worked with teenagers, parents, employing Multisystemic Therapy (MST), an evidence-based modality that addresses all the interdependent systems within an individual’s life. Furthermore, I have had the honor of serving veterans through the Veterans Affairs system as well as individuals dealing with substance abuse through individual and group therapy sessions. I firmly believe in the power of creating an engaging therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, validated, and supported. Together, we will explore your strengths and challenges to recognize and overcome any barriers or hurdles to leading a more fulfilling life. My ultimate aim is to give you tools, insights, and strategies for positive transformation that lead to long-term change for a more fulfilled existence.

Hello! Does it seem overwhelming to be searching for a therapist for yourself? I get it! My name is Sonja (rhymes with "lasagna"). I enjoyed working with children and their families for 15 years, and then I transitioned to the medical field, where I was blessed to continue my professional growth within a variety of settings. My husband and I have one spoiled dog, Bo, a boxer-hound mix, who brings lots of laughs to our home. My specialties include working with adults (age 18+) dealing with symptoms of anxiety and/or depression, grief, and life transitions. I love to help people, and I usually incorporate some humor into sessions, because sometimes you just need to laugh! I utilize a positive approach and will ask for something positive since our last session each time we meet. I believe that is a life skill NOTE: You must be in a setting that is private and has stable internet for our telehealth sessions. I do not meet with people while they are driving, but if you need to sit in your car for privacy, for example, that is fine.
