I have extensive experience with individual therapy, working for substance use treatment centers, and working at various psychiatric hospitals. I have worked in roles including Behavioral Health Tech, Case Management, Primary Therapist, and Clinical Supervisor. I have worked with age groups ranging from young children to geriatrics. I prefer to work with adults of all ages with all types of substance use histories/mental health issues. I firmly believe that in order to help someone, you have to understand them. In order to understand someone, you require personal life experience to truly understand where they are coming from. I am very passionate about what I do. People have asked me previously if I enjoy what I do. I inform them that in my perspective, this is what I "designed" to be. There is no "taking off the therapy hat" for me - this is simply who I am and my purpose. You will learn very quickly how dedicated I am to serving people. I have I near eidetic memory and am well-versed in both DSM-IV and DSM-5 (the manuals used to diagnose someone). I have dedicated approximately 29 years of my life to this. Many clients throughout the years told me in their words that I am the "best therapist" they ever had. I encourage you to hire me and judge for yourself. I was entered into two international honor societies (top 15% of students in the field across the span of 8 countries with a flawless 4.0 GPA).

Welcome! As many of us know the modern world can be a frantic place, one where demands are constant, and space is limited. In therapy you have a chance to pause and take stock, to become more aware of our feelings and to re-examine the choices we are making in a reflective and constructive way. I aim to provide a supportive relationship within which my clients can safely explore and better understand themselves and their relationships. I take an active role in helping people investigate a broader range of options than at first may appear and invite them to expand the limits of their imagination. I wish to encourage confidence and resilience in managing feelings of doubt or despair, and to help find a positive and affirming way ahead. My clients consist of children, adolescents and young adults experiencing roadblocks from emotional turmoil to family stressors and communication issues affecting that satisfaction and joy we all strive for. Like most people, we want to lead a life of significance and balance, and we know we are meant for more. You don't have to experience this alone with the right support you will learn that happiness is not a mysterious force it is the result of a set of skills that anyone can learn. Working together we will improve on positive emotional well-being and getting to your comfort zone.

Hello, my name is Takiyah Thomas Licensed Mental Health Counselor LMHC based in Florida with 4 years of experience. I want to start affirming you by saying "You are improving your mental health symptoms every day." I'm stating this because you made the healthy choice to seek therapy. As your therapist I will always be on the lookout for strengths and empowering tools that I can use to keep you motivated to stay the course. Why? Because many times our maladaptive responses to our mental health symptoms form habits that require motivation and practice to unlearn. I will be there every step of the way to encourage you to keep moving forward. You got this, but it's nice to have your own personal cheerleader encouraging you and believing in you.

A little bit about me, my name is Amanda Chilleme, I am a Florida and North Carolina Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master’s Certified Addiction professional. For the last 11 years I have been helping my clients identify intrinsically important goals, overcoming obstacles, and build the foundation for a better future. My specialty has been working with men and women struggling with both substance abuse and process or behavioral addictions; helping them to find the pathway to a life unencumbered. I also have years of experience treating clients with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, bereavement, trauma, attachment, and personality disorders. As a clinician, I utilize a human focused approach. I am not here to tell you what you need to work on; you already know the “what”. As a clinician, it is my job to help you understand the “why”, and eventually, the “how” (to fix it, overcome it, or just plain throw it away). Your first session, is essentially a two-way interview; as I listen to your story/narrative, and the “rough draft” begins to unfold, WE as a team determine if, 1) I am the right therapist for you, and 2) If you are the right client for me. If we both agree to move forward from the first session, identifying your goals will be your first assignment; giving you the opportunity to do this, helps me to better see how you think and interpret your barriers (i.e. stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, etc.). I am your coach, teammate, and cheer leader! We will focus on one goal at a time. Whether you are just starting this process, or you have been in it for a while, I encourage you to plant that mustard seed, and watch just how beautifully you can grow.
