👋 Hi, I’m Don Patton, I’m a licensed mental health therapist specializing in substance use, co-occurring mental health conditions, and the patterns that keep people stuck despite wanting to change. My background is primarily in residential treatment, where I’ve worked closely with individuals in early recovery navigating high risk transitions, emotional instability, and repeated relapse cycles. That experience has shaped how I approach therapy. I’ve seen firsthand that insight alone is not enough. Many of the people I work with are intelligent, self-aware, and capable, but continue to struggle when it comes to applying that awareness in real-life situations. My work is focused on closing that gap. I tend to be direct, structured, and practical in session. I will challenge thinking patterns that are keeping you stuck; while also helping you build tools that are realistic and usable outside of therapy. At the same time, I understand that change requires trust, consistency, and a space where you can be honest without judgment. My goal is not just to help you understand yourself better, it’s to help you create measurable, sustainable change in how you think, respond, and move forward.

Investing in your mental health is priceless and it is your choice to make. Even an ounce of success is better than no success. Take that leap of faith and start living a changed life.

Starting therapy can be overwhelming, whether for the first time ever or the first time in a while. Many of us have been shamed and dismissed for what we had to do to survive, even in therapy. My goal is to help you understand what your past taught you, and how you may be carrying these lessons in a way that no longer benefits you. This is not meant to "dwell in the darkness" but to reconnect with yourself and learn how you can begin to show up for yourself in ways that did not feel possible in the past.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in painful patterns that make it hard to manage daily life, relationships, or your sense of self-worth.

Therapy can help you better understand what is going on and begin making meaningful changes. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) speaking licensed psychotherapist and the author of Healing Childhood Trauma. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, and relationship difficulties.

Welcome, I am Jo Ann Galati, Licensed Mental Health Counselor and owner of Sea Glass Mental Health Counseling. I have been a therapist for over a decade. I graduated from Nova Southeastern University. I have spent my time since, trying to constantly expand my experience and knowledge base, so that I may help my clients. I love my job and I try to give my best to my clients.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. I received my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University and have been practicing for 6 years. I am a native of the community that I serve, St. Lucie County. I work with children, adolescents and adults to improve overall mental well-being through the use of adaptive coping skills to reduce and manage symptoms.

Painful experiences often lead people to develop protective strategies to manage overwhelming emotions. These strategies may appear as perfectionism, emotional avoidance, anger toward loved ones, or repeated involvement in unhealthy relationships. While they can offer temporary relief, they often create disconnection from oneself and others, contributing to feelings of loneliness, shame, anxiety, and depression. I am dedicated to helping individuals strengthen their sense of self worth and process traumatic experiences that contribute to insecure attachment and unhelpful patterns. I believe that although emotional wounds often occur within relationships, healing also takes place through safe and supportive connection. With compassion, courage, and a willingness to explore difficult experiences, meaningful and lasting change is possible. Healing can happen, and there is always hope.

I am a Board Certified, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) serving Florida with almost two decades of experience. While I've successfully worked with children, adolescents, and women, I am particularly dedicated to helping men achieve more fulfilling lives. Specializing in men’s unique challenges—whether in relationships, sexual health/ intimacy concerns, or performance in sports and careers—I provide a space where men feel understood and empowered to grow. I know the power of having someone who “gets it” and can navigate the issues that impact men today. Together, we work toward stronger connections, clearer purpose, and greater resilience, so that you can reach your full potential and live a life that you deserve. I'm a Caribbean native (St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands) and hold a B.A. in psychology from the University of Delaware, a M.S. in Counseling Psychology from Loyola College in Maryland (now Loyola University Maryland), a certificate in Sports Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania (now Pennsylvania Western University), a certificate in Sex Therapy from the University of Michigan, and am currently a Doctoral Candidate in Counselor Education & Supervision at the University of the Cumberlands. Additional credentials include being Board Certified as a National Certified Counselor, being a Certified Addiction Professional, and an Internationally Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor.

You may have spent your life showing up for everyone else, navigating spaces where you have to work twice as hard to feel seen. You deserve a space where you don’t have to translate your experience or explain the weight of 'the hustle'—a space where your culture and identity are honored, not just acknowledged. I provide expert, culturally-attuned support through evidence-based therapy to help you work through barriers and live fully. Vulnerability isn’t a weakness; it’s your greatest tool for change. You’ve got the vision—let’s build the path to get you there.

Hello there, my name is Mariana, and I am here to help you reach your goals. Working in the Mental health, and substance use field for the past 14 years has taught me healing does not necessarily come from one path. Based on the positive outcomes and feedback with those I have treated, I use an integrative healthcare approach, I assess the whole person including body, mind, and spirit in the context of community, considering lifestyle and habits; I work by looking at the whole person, not just symptoms. This leads us to being able to identify and to work on the challenges experienced through a lifetime. I believe that wellbeing is a general state of "contentment" with life and the way things are. In this state of contentment, we experience a sense of balance and connection to a purpose. In my practice I explore with you the main areas of wellbeing and the blockages that have been impeding you to reach your best. I see therapy as a teamwork between you and me in where you share your own experiences and I provide my clinical expertise to implement an individualized plan that works for you. I can provide therapy in Spanish or English. I work mainly using tele therapy in the state of Florida. I am a psychologist in Colombia, South America, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I am also certified to work with trauma, and hold a certification to diagnose and treat personality disorders. I am also a qualified supervisor for graduate students seeking to obtain their master’s degree in mental health. If you still have other questions about therapy or want to know more about me and my professional approach, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss further

I have been serving people for over 15 years. I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in 2006 from the University of Florida in Recreational Therapy.

You may be feeling, sad, angry, anxious, depressed or you may be struggling with addiction or family issues. I can empathize with and learn how you may be feeling at this moment and I am here to help you through this stressful, troubling time by empowering change. My Specialties Include: Anxiety, Depression, Substance Use / Addiction, and Trauma

I have been in practice for over 25 years with a PhD and an MS degree as a Florida Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I taught at St. Thomas University in Miami as an adjunct professor for several years. I have worked in Mental Health facilities, and I practiced as a sole provider for over 20 years. I use an eclectic approach with solution-focused, cognitive behavioral and experiential modalities. I work with children (over 10 years old), adolescents, and adults. I assist clients with coping skills and improving their communication with others.
