My name is Willard and I am a licensed counselor in several states. My practice primarily focuses on helping others deal with ambiguity. Often our thoughts and subsequently what we teach ourselves becomes rigid and fairly black and white. Using a pragmatic and authentic approach to therapy I help others to be okay with things that are beyond their control and work with them to establish themselves as the protagonist in their own story. This is primarily accomplished through conversation and allowing you the client to guide the therapy in the direction it needs to go.

Hello! I’m Dr. Thuydy (pronounced “Tweety”), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist, and Ph.D. in Clinical Sexology. I specialize in supporting individuals and couples navigating intimacy challenges, compulsive sexual behaviors, trauma, and relational concerns. My doctoral research focused on trauma-informed treatment for compulsive sexual behaviors, which I bring into my clinical work with compassion, respect, and a nonjudgmental lens. I understand how difficult it can feel to manage disconnection, conflict, or shame, especially when intimacy, sexuality, or past trauma are involved. My approach is trauma-informed, sex-positive, shame-resilient, and inclusive, honoring the full spectrum of identities, orientations, and relationship structures. Whether you are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, exploring kink or BDSM, or navigating nontraditional relationship dynamics such as ethical non-monogamy or polyamory, you will find a safe and affirming space with me. Together, we’ll explore your unique experiences, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and build tools for resilience, communication, and self-compassion. I draw on evidence-based practices including CBT, Narrative Therapy, Somatic interventions, and shame-resilience theory to create a personalized path toward healing and growth. As a multicultural therapist, I also recognize the ways culture, family expectations, and identity shape your story. My goal is to help you strengthen intimacy, rebuild trust, establish healthy boundaries, and create relationships that align with your values. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and designed to empower you to live authentically, heal deeply, and grow toward lasting change.

I believe we all have had those times where we ask ourselves; why can't I just get myself to start or stop doing (______) fill in the blank. It is because where we are conscious of things is not where things are being caused.

Ever since I was a little girl, I felt the need to help others; making a positive change in someone else’s life brought immense joy to my life. Coming from an immigrant family with limited resources, I joined the military to achieve my educational goals. While in the military, I moved a lot and had the opportunity to meet people from different cultures, backgrounds, and religions. I learned how our differences make us unique, interesting, and just wonderful. However, these differences sometimes create conflict on the inside and also on the outside. For this reason, I decided to become a social worker and help make a positive change in the world, one person at a time. It is so hard to try to tell your life story to a stranger, but just know I'm here to help you find the strength you thought you lost but is just hiding deep in you. We will work together to help you achieve your goals. Spanish: Es my dificil contarle su historia a un estrano, pero yo estoy aqui para ayudarle a encontrar su fuerza interior para mejorar.

What stops you from leading a happy, productive life? What causes you stress, anxiety and depression? I believe the answer to living a happy successful life rests in our relationship with ourselves and the people we choose to interact with on a daily basis. Self awareness is the key cornerstone to emotional intelligence. I earned my Masters in Social Work from Columbia University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in the state of Florida. I am a member of The National Association of Social Workers and received postgraduate certificates as a Certified Dementia Practitioner and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. As a client-centered clinician for more than 15 years, I provide individual, couples and family counseling utilizing a variety of modalities and techniques tailored to the individual's needs to help attain the personal growth their striving for. My treatment specialties include, but are not limited to depression, anxiety, mood/personality disorders, family dysfunction, low self-esteem, codependency, trauma, addiction and recovery (ACOA), conflict resolution, and phases of life issues for adults 18+. Treatment services are offered entirely through telehealth, giving us the flexibility to connect conveniently and safely. I am currently accepting new clients and look forward to meeting you!

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida as well as a certified EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist. I specialize in working with people who feel overworked for other people in their life while feeling underappreciated and left alone, feeling confused about who they are and what they can do to gain a sense of control back in their life. I became a psychotherapist because I've experienced the need to have someone who can show me what I could not see because they have a genuine interest in my well-being and potential. Together we will find the root of your behavioral/emotional difficulties from scientific, psychological, and spiritual perspectives. You will uncover resources that can only be found in you to overcome the difficulties. Eventually, striving for wholeness will be the life journey that you will gladly take on outside of a therapy session.

I have advanced training from the Feeling Good Institute and continue to train in CBT and other approaches. I provide data-driven care. We'll track your mood before and after each session. We'll also track your satisfaction with our therapy sessions so we can make adjustments to make it as optimal as possible. This is also the primary way that I improve as a therapist - with your immediate feedback. We'll use Google Drive as our hub for your therapeutic growth. You'll have your homework and session tracker, data tracker, and all of our customized work together in one place to take with you after we complete therapy together. I see people weekly, or biweekly, for hour long sessions. The vast majority of people will experience significant improvement in their areas of concern in just 3-4 sessions.
