I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida, I received my Master's degree from Florida Atlantic University, and I have been practicing for about 5 years. I help adults with a variety of concerns, from simply becoming a better and more effective version of themselves to struggling with mood or anxiety disorders, substance use or addiction, relational and attachment conflict, or educational and career stressors. I'll meet you where you are and we we can agree on your treatment goals based on what prompted you to seek therapy. We'll then focus on one issue (or more, related issues) at a time to promote your growth to the best version of yourself, over time.

I have had the opportunity to work with and serve some of the most amazing people I've ever met in various work environments including private, group, residential, hospital and emergency settings and it would be my honor to work with you as well.

Maybe you’re feeling weighed down by anxiety or a sadness that just won’t lift. Perhaps you’re a new parent navigating the beautiful, exhausting, and overwhelming journey of postpartum life, or you’re in a constant struggle with food and your body.

If you’re looking for a supportive space to untangle these feelings and build a more peaceful, meaningful life, I’m here to help. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience walking alongside adults through these specific challenges. My practice is dedicated to supporting individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and the emotional journey of postpartum and new parenthood.

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.

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.

Warm, unconditionally accepting, positively energetic, and professional—these are the qualities a counselor who once saved my life possessed, and they are the qualities I bring with conviction to my practice. Life is a journey, and I want to help you continue building a happy and peaceful path. From the moment we begin our first session, my goal is to create a warm and nurturing atmosphere that fosters growth. I employ an integrated approach to therapy, utilizing CBT, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, and person-centered therapy.

My name is Oswaldo “Oz” Castro, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience supporting individuals across a wide range of needs and life stages. My passion as a therapist is helping people find hope, healing, and practical tools to move forward. I began my career in neurofeedback, spending 7 years working with children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD, autism, sleep difficulties, anxiety, depression, and other neurodivergent experiences. I later gained 5 years of experience at a drug rehabilitation facility, supporting individuals on their recovery journey from substance use. From there, I spent 2 years at a survivor’s center, helping individuals heal from domestic violence, violent crimes, and grief. During this time, I also worked closely with the LGBTQIA+ community, including facilitating groups for individuals of the trans experience. I also worked for 5 years with children and adolescents transitioning out of a Baker Act and receiving sometimes getting into therapy for the first time, which gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention, family systems, and the importance of providing stability and hope during vulnerable times. Most recently, for the past 3 years, I have been serving clients through the Grow Therapy, where I’ve had the privilege of reaching individuals who previously struggled to access care or find a therapeutic connection locally. This work has strengthened my belief that therapy should be accessible, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique story. If you’re seeking a therapist who will meet you with empathy, understanding, and practical support, I would be honored to work alongside you. Together, we can create a path toward the goals and growth you want for yourself.

There’s no denying that life isn’t always a walk in the park. While I’m sure you can relate to this as an adult, the same goes for kids, teens, and college-age students. Don’t forget, they’re going through this life without a manual, just as you are. But life is also spectacularly beautiful. Unfortunately, the trials faced during any phase of life can often dim that beauty and hold your child back from living the life they deserve. Anxiety, depression, and self-doubt can creep into anyone's life at any age. Mental health challenges can rob them of happiness, self-confidence, and life-fulfillment. I get it. I’ve been in their shoes. As an experienced, understanding, and caring counselor for teens, children, and young adults. I can help support your child, whether they are elementary-school-aged, in the turbulent teenage years, or college-aged. And, because I value being an advocate for kids and an ally for parents, I can support you, too.

Hello, I'm Maggie Lo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Harbour Mind Psychotherapy. I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients grew up in emotionally unpredictable, critical, or invalidating environments and find themselves carrying patterns that once helped them cope but no longer serve them. My approach is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented. My work focuses on helping clients understand how past experiences continue to shape the present, develop greater self-trust, and build healthier relationships. I believe meaningful therapy requires time, attention, and a deep understanding of each person's unique story, which is why I intentionally maintain a limited caseload to provide personalized care. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in recurring patterns, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, therapy can be a space to slow down, reflect, and create lasting change. My practice is intentionally designed with a limited number of client slots to help ensure I can provide thoughtful, attentive care while maintaining the mental space needed to fully support each client. I value flexibility, quality of care, and prioritizing the therapeutic experience so clients feel genuinely supported throughout their healing journey.
