Therapists in Florida

From an early age, I felt a strong calling to help others and found deep fulfillment in making a positive difference in people’s lives. Raised in an immigrant family with limited resources, I joined the military as a way to pursue my education and create new opportunities for myself. During my time in the military, I relocated frequently and had the privilege of connecting with individuals from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and belief systems. These experiences shaped my understanding of how our differences enrich us, while also recognizing how they can create internal struggles, relational challenges, and emotional stress. This perspective led me to pursue a career in social work. Today, I am committed to providing compassionate, culturally responsive care and supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change—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.

I incorporate mindfulness techniques and play therapy to create an engaging and effective therapeutic environment. With a deep commitment to fostering resilience and personal growth, I strive to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those I work with, equipping them with the tools they need to thrive.

Do you often second-guess yourself? Do you have a hard time remembering some things? Do you often wonder why you do and say the things that you do and say? Do you feel anxious about… everything? Our lives are like puzzles. Some scenes and pictures are more complicated than others and require assistance being put together. The pieces often get mixed up, flipped over, and sometimes put in the wrong box. I'm here to help you flip those pieces over and arrange them in their appropriate spots to help you gain perspective, increase your self-awareness, and develop healthy coping mechanisms in a safe, relaxing, validating, and judgment free environment. I empower individuals in overcoming anxiety, setting boundaries, and identifying and processing traumatic or life altering events that may have been overlooked. Together we take a holistic approach, addressing your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual self, as well as the different roles you play in your daily life.

Hi, I’m Tami, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times, how easy it is to get stuck in painful patterns, and how hard it can be to take that first step toward change. You don’t have to do it alone! I’m deeply passionate about helping people find their way through difficult seasons of life and feel less alone in their struggles. I support individuals navigating anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, low self-esteem, mood challenges, relationship conflicts, parenting stress and guilt, trauma, eating disorders, and addiction, while helping them reconnect with a sense of balance within themselves. My hope is to create a space where healing feels possible, growth feels supported, and a more grounded, fulfilling life begins to take shape. To me, therapy is about more than just talking—it’s about creating a safe, supportive environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you feel more empowered in your life. I use a flexible, personalized approach that draws from CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Strengths-Based Therapy, and other evidence-based strategies—always meeting you where you are and moving at a pace that feels right for you. I believe healing from the past is often an essential step toward creating a brighter and more meaningful future. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and create balance emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, and intellectually. If you’re ready to begin your healing journey—or even just considering that first step—I would be honored to support you in moving forward, overcoming challenges, and creating the life you deserve.

As your licensed mental health counselor, we'll begin by building a strong and trusting rapport, which lays the foundation for effective therapy. Together, we will carefully identify your presenting issues and concerns, exploring the patterns, emotions, and experiences that have shaped your current challenges. Using evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices, I will tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs. Along the way, we will create clear, achievable strategies designed to help you reach your personal, academic, or professional goals. Throughout the process, you will feel genuinely heard and understood in a safe, supportive environment. You will gain confidence in your ability to navigate difficulties, develop greater emotional resilience, and foster personal growth that leads to meaningful and lasting change. My goal is to empower you to live a more fulfilling, balanced life while equipping you with the tools to continue thriving beyond our time together.

The path you’ve traveled has formed who you are today. To navigate that journey, you likely developed specific behaviors to help you feel safe, seen, or even just to survive. These patterns were once your necessary protectors, but sometimes they stop working for us as we grow. When circumstances change, our internal responses often do not adapt as quickly. This is because the body and mind can react to anything resembling a past challenge as a means of protection, keeping us stuck in cycles that no longer serve our current life. My goal is to walk alongside you as we create small, consistent shifts, just 1% at a time, to move from distress toward emotive wellness. Together, we will learn to meet these triggers with curiosity rather than judgment. We will examine the core beliefs that shape your world and begin to lay down firm foundations regarding who you are. At the heart of this work is a focus on both individual and relational health. We want to cut through the noise of expectations so you can finally embrace your truest self, not just the person you feel expected to be. By identifying how your survival mechanisms once helped you, we can begin to shift those behaviors into tools that foster genuine connection and lasting relief.

But a more grounded, regulated version of you. I’m not the therapist who just nods. I’ll sit with you in the hard things, and I’ll also tell you the truth about what needs to shift.

Thank you for taking the first step of courage and making yourself a priority today. Opening yourself up and being vulnerable can be a tremendous step to your healing process.

I will always provide a safe space of acceptance and non-judgement for you to share your emotional pain, grow to love and be kind to yourself, and find the peace you deserve to heal.

Hi, I’m Allison. Whether you’re feeling burned out, stuck in unfulfilling patterns, or having challenges in your relationships, therapy can help you recover and feel more grounded. Many of the people I work with are new to therapy. They may not have a specific diagnosis or crisis, but they know something feels “off.” Clients often tell me they feel comfortable opening up with me quickly. If you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, know that meaningful change is possible. Let’s work together to help you feel more content, empowered, and like yourself again. Clients often tell me they feel at ease opening up to me. Many feel relieved to have a therapist who offers active guidance, rather than just listening without direction. Finding relief and reconnecting with a sense of peace is more achievable than it might feel right now—and once you start, the process of change often unfolds more quickly than you expect. I approach therapy by looking at the root cause of problems, rather than focusing on one problem at a time. I work from a systemic perspective, which means we will dive into your personal relationships, behavior patterns, and lifestyle choices which are interconnected with the issues you may be facing. If you'd like to learn more about me and my therapy methods, feel free to visit my website at www.mindtalkhealing.com
