Hi, I’m glad you’re here,
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 13 years of experience. I’m also a husband and a father of five, so I know life can be unpredictable. When something hits you that you weren’t ready for, it doesn’t mean you’re broken. It usually means you don’t have the right tools yet.
I studied engineering and psychology, and it shapes how I work. I look for the patterns underneath a problem and what keeps you stuck. Then we build practical steps you can use in your daily life. I think of therapy as a workbench. We figure out what isn’t working and try new things together.
I use CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR, depending on what fits you best. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, and major life changes. I especially enjoy working with men, active duty military, veterans, and first responders.
I also see couples that want to improve communication and I enjoy helping with everything beyond that too: rebuilding trust, reconnecting, working through major life changes, and handling the stress that military, first responder, and family life put on a relationship.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to start. Reach out and we’ll talk about what’s going on and whether I’m a good fit.

I believe every person has unique strengths, and together we will build upon those strengths while addressing the challenges that may be keeping you from living the life you desire.

I would love to work with you to help you through whatever you are experiencing. I believe anyone is capable of change. I like working with people who are experiencing that "stuck" feeling, that we all go through, at times. I believe that someone's thoughts have a great impact on how that person acts and feels. The more you think a thought, the more ingrained it becomes in your brain. These thoughts eventually form habits, which also includes emotional habits. I offer practical tools to help people change their habits in order to change their lives.
My passion is helping people who experience anxiety, nervous system issues, as well as hormonal issues. I work with depression or low self-esteem. I work with stress management and developing coping skills. I use practical and experiential techniques such as relaxation and somatic exercises. I also offer Christian counseling.

My journey into counseling began after witnessing how military service affected the emotional well-being and relationships of someone close to me. Approaching those changes with compassion and curiosity led me to study human behavior, and since then I have had the privilege of supporting domestic violence survivors, individuals involved in the court system, outpatient community mental health clients, residents in substance use and personality disorder treatment programs, and military personnel during my own time in service. Today, I continue to build on that experience through specialized training in relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and trauma, creating a supportive space where adults can heal, strengthen relationships, and move toward the life they want.

It's easy to brush off signs that your mental health is in need of attention- until your body demands that you listen. Maybe you find yourself lying awake at night, or you're actually spending most of your free time sleeping. Tears seem to well up at the drop of a hat, or you carry a constant pit in your stomach. Some of us have been taught that strength means suffering in silence, while others have always used avoidance to cope. Oftentimes we are too busy taking care of others to take care of ourselves. Now is the time to take care of you.

My name is Amanda Chilleme, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina, as well as a Master’s Certified Addiction Professional. For over 11 years, I have supported individuals in identifying what truly matters to them, navigating obstacles, and building a foundation for a more fulfilling future.
My primary specialty is working with men and women struggling with substance use disorders as well as process and behavioral addictions, helping them find a pathway to a life that feels less burdened and more aligned. I also have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, grief and bereavement, trauma, attachment concerns, and personality disorders.
As a clinician, I take a human-focused approach. I am not here to tell you what you need to work on—you already know the what. My role is to help you understand the why, and ultimately the how: how to shift it, heal it, overcome it, or, when appropriate, let it go altogether.
Your first session is best described as a two-way interview. As I listen to your story and your narrative begins to take shape, we collaboratively determine two things:
Whether I am the right therapist for you, and
Whether this therapeutic relationship is the right fit for both of us.
If we decide to move forward together, identifying your goals becomes your first assignment. This process allows me to better understand how you think, how you interpret challenges, and how barriers such as stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship dynamics show up for you. From there, we focus on one goal at a time.
I see myself as your coach, teammate, and cheerleader!
Whether you are just beginning therapy or have been on this journey for some time, I invite you to plant that seed—and see just how beautifully you grow.

I'm Jeff, an LCSW and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), and I founded Rogue Sun Counseling & Consulting to work with adults navigating trauma, substance use, or both. Before launching this practice, I served as Clinical Director at a residential addiction treatment center and later as Executive Director at two wellness centers, where I oversaw clinical programming for hundreds of clients working through substance use disorders, trauma, and the broader mental health challenges that often accompany both. That experience shaped how I practice now: I don't assume every client's story fits a single mold. Some clients come to me specifically for trauma, with no history of substance use at all. Others are focused entirely on changing their relationship with alcohol or drugs, with no significant trauma history to speak of. And some are working through both, where one has clearly fed into the other. My job is to figure out how I can best meet you where you are, drawing on years of leadership in addiction treatment alongside trauma-focused clinical work, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach to every person who walks through the door.

I provide support and education for individual clients and families with empathy and kindness in a relaxed atmosphere. I also challenge clients to grow while building on their strengths for change. Small positive changes can lead to big changes!

I am currently accepting new clients for individual therapy only. I have many years of experience as a licensed mental health therapist, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients across different life stages and challenges. My approach to therapy is eclectic and collaborative, drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each client.
Throughout my career, I have witnessed meaningful change as clients make progress in their emotional well-being and personal growth. I work primarily with adults navigating ADHD; forms of anxiety; depression; life transitions; trauma; stress management and decision-making support.
My therapeutic style is grounded in empathy, compassion, and a genuine commitment to creating a safe and supportive space. I will be direct and challenge you when appropriate. I strive to help clients feel heard, understood, and empowered as they develop insight, resilience, and practical tools for change. I believe in each person’s capacity for growth and healing and I consider it an honor to walk alongside clients on their journey toward greater clarity, connection, and well-being.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
