Hi, I’m Doctor Samuel, a mental health professional here to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and lasting change. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, life transitions, ADHD symptoms or simply feeling stuck this is a space where you don’t have to go through it alone. I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach grounded in Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That means we’ll work together to understand what’s going on, identify what’s working, and build on your natural strengths to create meaningful, lasting shifts. In our work, we’ll focus on practical tools to help you manage overwhelming emotions, develop healthier thought patterns, and create more balance in your daily life. You'll also gain deeper emotional and self-awareness to support your personal growth. Therapy with me is not about fixing you because you’re not broken. It’s about creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered to navigate life in a way that feels more aligned and grounded. If you’re ready to take that first step toward positive change, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

I have over 18 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I follow a relational and strength-based approach to counseling. It is also important to me that clients feel treated like a whole person with intersecting identities that are all valued and supported. I believe that when someone feels seen and heard, they will often discover more about themselves, those they care about, and the world around them. I think we are complex beings, and I love collaboratively looking at things from multiple perspectives and asking questions like what's helping you and what's getting in your way or what was the best part and the most challenging part of your week?

You might not have had the space to slow down, feel, or even ask for help, but something in you knows it’s time to heal. You don’t have to do it alone. I’ve spent the last 12 years helping people find their way through the hard stuff and back to themselves.

Hello, I am Viktoria. Life doesn't always go as planned, and transitions, illness, and trauma are rarely anticipated. Are you struggling with self-defeating patterns that are causing depression, anxiety, and /or a feeling of being stuck? Do you want to make changes in your personal and professional life? Do you have challenges in your relationship? Individuals have unique and individual needs, which should be recognized. Most of the time, you will be able to handle the situation with the help of your friends and family or on your own. There are times when you might need professional guidance and support to learn specific techniques to help you manage your thoughts and feelings. An important aspect of therapy is the opportunity to explore feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, grief, and shame, and to begin the process of creating positive and lasting changes. This takes place in a non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship based on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. My style is calm, warm, and relaxed, and I believe in creating a safe environment for you in which compassion, support, and humor can flourish. Together, we can gain insight and understanding of the relationships between emotions, core beliefs and behaviors in order to find solutions to the problems you are facing.

Hi there, I'm Betty. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or major life changes? Maybe you're experiencing a lack of healthy boundaries in relationships or aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs, I am an experienced licensed mental health counselor who works with those struggling with relationship issues, grief, trauma, mood disorders, boundaries, anxiety, depression, daily life struggles etc. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. Transformation and healing are obtained by developing a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and responses. My purpose as a therapist is to help you along the path to a functional and fulfilling life. Whether the obstacles to achieving this goal are habits and behaviors you want to change, relationship issues, or present and past traumas. We will work together to develop a comprehensive plan to alleviate or minimize stressors and struggles. The goal is to move in positive directions while establishing healthy coping skills. There are many reasons that a person may seek counseling. Facing hardships in life can be very difficult, especially when trying to navigate them alone. Letting others into our pain and circumstances can be scary. It can also be a time for immense growth. Therapy can provide both support and hope as you work towards a greater sense of wholeness and healing. I enjoy helping people gain a greater sense of identity and purpose through a creative, emotionally focused, and experiential approach to therapy. Whether dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome any challenges and barriers holding you back. Let's work together!

Jennifer Valera, LCSW I am deeply passionate about helping others live their most fulfilling lives. As a therapist, my mission is to provide the highest quality of care in a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment. I create a supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered, using a strengths-based approach that honors each person’s unique belief system, culture, values, and goals. I believe in the power of collaboration, working side-by-side with my clients to address life’s challenges and foster personal growth. Drawing from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, I tailor each session to meet the individual needs of adults and couples, guiding them toward healing and their fullest potential. I specialize in supporting adults and couples navigating challenges such as relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, stress management, low self-esteem, life transitions, family conflict, grief and loss, ADHD, and anger management. I also have experience providing substance abuse counseling for adults. I earned both my undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Clinical Social Work from the University of Central Florida. Outside of my work, I treasure time with my family—especially my little niece and nephew. I enjoy relaxing with a good documentary, true crime series, or movie, practicing yoga, sipping my daily coffee, and occasionally indulging in a well-earned nap.
