Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and Florida. I have 30 years experience in the helping profession and 7 years as a therapist. I believe that insight without action leads to stagnation and frustration. It is valuable to talk about problems and issues but without a plan of action, clients often become discouraged. Much of my work will involve helping you identify a next right step in addressing challenges.

Hi! I was born in Puerto Rico, but I have been living in the United States since 1990. I graduated with my Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from D’Youville College in Buffalo NY, then with my Master in Social Work at the University at Buffalo. I started my career as a Bi-Lingual Dual Disorder therapist at an outpatient agency in Buffalo NY. Moving to Florida in 2014, I worked with individuals who have been diagnosed with alcohol and/or substance misuse who have been linked with the court system, as well as working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced complex trauma. I have experience in working as a program manager providing guidance and clinical direction to other therapists, as well as providing therapeutic services to individuals within the LGBTQAI+ community and those who have been impacted by an HIV diagnosis. Throughout my career I have been able to gain knowledge on different types of diagnoses and resources in order to assist in improving individuals overall well-being in a holistic way.

Therapy for mental health and substance use—break patterns, build coping skills, and create lasting change. Hi, I’m Johana Luxin, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I work with individuals who feel stuck in patterns they’re ready to change—whether that’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use. My experience in inpatient rehabilitation has given me a strong foundation in helping clients navigate both mental health and addiction challenges. I focus on helping you understand the root of what’s going on, not just the surface symptoms. Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and goal-oriented. We’ll work together to build insight, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change in your life.

You are capable, responsible, and dependable. Others rely on you. You manage pressure well — until the weight becomes too heavy to carry alone. I specialize in working with healthcare professionals, leaders, caregivers, and high-achieving adults experiencing burnout, chronic stress, and high-functioning anxiety. Many of my clients appear steady on the outside while internally feeling emotionally exhausted, mentally overloaded, or disconnected from their sense of purpose. With over 13 years of clinical experience across healthcare systems, private practice, and community settings, I understand the psychological toll of prolonged responsibility without recovery. My work focuses on restoring emotional steadiness, strengthening boundaries, and building sustainable performance — not just temporary coping.

I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral, psycho-educational, and humanistic modalities, as well as evidence-based techniques. I strive to create a balance within my therapeutic approach based on my client’s particular needs and preferences. I have had the honor to serve a diversity of individuals and their families in a variety of settings, such as community mental health, crisis helplines, and outpatient programs (in a hospital setting). This was the first step. This is a safe space where you can create a vision for your life, along with an action plan and strategies for how to achieve your goals once you have identified them. I will support you and encourage you to find your ambition and desire and ways to realize your possibilities.

Trauma, Depression, and anxiety can feel like an unbearable weight on your shoulders. Everyone has the capacity for growth and healing and whether it requires working through the past, being mindful of the present, or prepare for the future, you are capable of creating the life you desire. I am a client centered therapist who utilizes evidenced based, cognitive- behavioral, and mindfulness approaches in order to engage one's body, mind, and spirit for an integrated approach to wellness. Allow me to walk with you through life's obstacles in order to attain better insight and inner peace.

Thank you for sharing information about yourself. I'm so happy that you reached out for help. I am Michael Creech, a licensed therapist. My goal is to meet you where you are by bringing a compassionate approach backed by formal training and experience and be a part of your goals in the change process. I am very personable as well as professional and I do not believe in one-sided relationships. I have a multidisciplinary, eclectic approach to therapy in which I utilize techniques and principles from a variety of modalities to include Christian based. My counseling is geared toward treating the whole person from a biopsychosocial spiritual standpoint. I view counseling as a calling and not as a career and that it is a collaborative effort in which I learn and grow as a result of every interaction. My clients describe me as a “good listener” and as someone who “makes me think”. Some of the experiences that have contributed to my professional identity and approach to mental health treatment are my formal education at Pensacola Christian College where I received a BA in Pastoral Ministry and Liberty University where I received a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have worked as a therapist under regulatory agencies for 6 years and have worked in Christian Ministry since my ministerial ordination in 2003. Demographics I have served have included inpatient and outpatient care, private practice, substance abuse issues, psychotic spectrum disorders, gender identity issues, personality disorders, sex addiction, family and relationship issues, depression, anxiety, PTSD, Spirituality, and men’s issues. My experiences as a combat military veteran, teacher, father, husband, and a person who has experienced my own traumas and failures have contributed to my professional development. I look forward to getting to know you!
