Lazy Lake, FL - Accepting clients in FL
I’m not your typical therapist—and that’s intentional. You won’t find me in a blazer with a clipboard asking, *“And how does that make you feel?”* I show up in jeans and a t-shirt, ready to create a space that’s real, safe, and grounded in trust. Therapy with me feels more like a conversation than a clinical interrogation.
I specialize in working with people who’ve been through a lot—first responders, survivors of sexual and physical abuse, those navigating PTSD, narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, and members of the LGBTQ+ community who often carry the weight of being misunderstood or marginalized. I’m here to walk beside you through the mess, the pain, and the healing—not to observe you from a distance.
I also live with ADHD, so I get what it’s like to feel scattered, overstimulated, or like your brain works just a little differently. I bring that understanding into the room—not just professionally, but personally. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself or just need someone who gets it, you’re in the right place.
I believe trauma requires more than textbook techniques—it requires presence, patience, and a genuine connection. My style is relaxed, honest, and supportive. I’ll meet you exactly where you are, without judgment or pressure, and we’ll work together to help you feel whole again.
Healing doesn’t have to be clinical or cold—it can be real, raw, and even a little bit human. That’s what I offer.

Thank you for considering me for your personal mental health therapist and emotions coach. The last few years have been traumatic, distressing, and challenging in ways that have caused us to adjust our traditional views of the world or revise how we will continue to survive within it. Many have chosen to grasp tightly onto their conventional beliefs in search of comfort in what they find to be familiar. We have been impacted by trauma in one way or another but not all of us have the recourse to fall back on our inner strengths and continue with our capacity to be resilient. We get trapped in feelings of hopelessness and fatigue. We need someone to guide us and bring us back out from the darkness, back into the light. I want to be that beacon of light.
I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional who has over 15 years of experience with counseling and 20 years of experience serving families. My treatment philosophy is to utilize psychotherapy and clinical social work theories in a strength-based model to optimize coping skills and tools needed for your well-being. This is done through our building of trust, a good rapport, and growing a secure and confidential dyad supported by feelings of empathy, respect, and validation without furthering any pity or blame you may have experienced in the past. My practice skills and interventions are best implemented through the use of Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy within a behavioral change model.

Building great relationships is one of the most meaningful aspects of life.
Hello future client!
My name is Ruthie and I'm one of those rare native Floridians. My primary practice approach is relational, using interventions that can help you understand the link between your thoughts, feelings and actions and the effect on your relationships. This will improve your ability to connect with others in ways that will enhance your life. I want to support you to have the loving, fulfilling, respectful relationships you deserve.
In my graduate program, I learned that all human behavior develops in the context of relationships. Family relationships are most significant to individual growth. The importance of healthy relationships in a successful life is often underestimated. The value of independence in our society overshadows our human need for connections. The quality of our family, friends, romantic, work and community connections impact our physical, mental and emotional health. Positive interactions promote feelings of connectedness and a sense of self-worth while negative encounters can lead to increased anxiety, a lack of self-confidence, and may even affect your thinking abilities.
I earned a BA in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences from University of South Florida in 2009 and obtained a Master’s in Social Work from the University of New England in 2016. I proudly became a licensed therapist in 2020, one good thing that occurred during the Covid pandemic.

Do you feel like you need to work out some of your thoughts and feelings? Are you not sure where to start?
Hi! I'm Chelsea and I know that feeling all too well.
In my therapy practice, I utilize an egalitarian approach while working with people. This means that the therapist and the client are the experts of their own experience. I believe we each bring preconceptions and values into the relationship and these core values can help strengthen trust. I’m, in general, curious about people and who they are; so I LOVE hearing about interests or hobbies or anything that relates to a person’s individuality. I incorporate harm reduction and motivational interviewing within my work. I believe that people are conduits to change and change is dependent on motivation and readiness. I think it is okay if someone is not ready or is not sure if they are ready; we all start somewhere!
I enjoy watching people evolve and grow into their authentic selves; which includes knowing who they are and what they value. I value self-awareness and introspection, for myself, and want to help others on their path to their wellness.

Have you experienced trauma, abuse, relationship challenges or loss? Do you struggle with codependency? Do you have difficulty setting healthy boundaries? Do you want to build self-esteem and confidence? Have your attempts to create meaningful changes in your life been met, repeatedly with short term-success? Are you losing hope with the prospect of a prosperous meaningful future?
Hi! My name is Cassie, and I'm a Christian, faith-based therapist licensed and located in the sunny (and sometimes rainy!) state of Florida. The questions posed above speak to challenges many of us are regularly faced with, but may find it difficult to speak about. Instead, we may find ourselves harboring feeling of shame and guilt which blocks us from pursuing and receiving the help we need.
Well, here’s the good news! Therapy with me is conducted within a safe, judgment-free space, where I provide opportunities for you to face those challenges and express those feelings. . I believe in the power of faith to guide healing, and I am honored to walk alongside individuals who desire therapy that aligns with their beliefs. At each stage of treatment, we’ll collaborate to assess and engage in a way which best fits you.
With over six (6) years of professional experience, and a host of treatment methods to rely on, you can rest assured in my ability to meet you uniquely in your place of need.
Ultimately, my desire is to help you reach a place of freedom and peace, where you can begin experiencing incremental yet impactful improvements to your overall wellbeing so your life and relationships can bear the fruit they were always meant to.

*Currently accepting new adult individual clients via telehealth*
I am a licensed mental health counselor in NY and FLA working in the field for 8 years in various different roles. I have experience with children, adolescents, and adults. I have worked in group practices to hospital settings helping clients suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, impulsivity, and more.
I use a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy helping clients understand their thoughts and develop ways that they can change their negative thought process to more positive thoughts to better their overall well being.
In our first session, we will get to know one another better and decide what goals are important to work towards making the positive life changes that help you become the best version of yourself.

Hi there, I’m Judith.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. For the last four years, I’ve had the privilege of providing mental health, academic, career, and relational counseling for children, teenagers, adults, and couples. I have experience in helping clients with family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, intimacy related issues, motivation, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and building interpersonal skills.
My therapeutic style leans towards a person-centered approach where I meet my clients where they are in a empathic and non-judgmental manner. I tend to also use various counseling techniques in order to assist clients with meeting their personal goals.
As a Christian who is a counselor, I feel compelled and honored to walk alongside those who are hurting, create a gentle and safe space for them to be vulnerable and honest about where they are, and find healing.
I know how it feels to be hurting and needing someone who can help you work through your own struggles, and I look forward to walking with you through this journey of healing. It takes a lot of courage to taking this first step towards mental/emotional wellness and I am happy to work with you.
