My name is Iyana McCain. I have been a licensed therapist for the past 7 years. Has anyone checked in with you lately? I want to offer support to my clients. I work towards solutions. I am an advocate. I help clients navigate life stressors with parenting, family, careers, relationships, and self-esteem. I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Therapy is a big step to take. It's okay to feel overwhelmed in life with multiple responsibilities as a student, parent, friend, or significant other. Opening up about your fears, worries, and struggles in life can leave you feeling vulnerable. I want you to feel seen and heard without fear of judgement. I advocate for my clients. I aim to become one of your biggest supporters. I believe in education on tools that you can use to lead a tolerable day to day life.

Sometimes in our lives, we will have experiences that will require some form of intervention. Together, let's explore healthy interventions. Trauma doesn't have to mean catastrophic. My goal is to provide a safe space. To assist with the development or refinement of skills that will allow you to explore opportunities for change. The ability to motivate someone requires patience, understanding, and listening skills; truth and honesty. These are traits that I am empowered to bring to therapy.

I'm skilled in techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Crisis Interventions, Psycho-education and Coping skills. However, my theoretical orientation is Person Centered therapy. In our work together, I use a person-centered approach. That means I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. I’ll focus on understanding your perspective, being genuine in our conversations, and accepting you as you are. You're in the driver’s seat here, and I am here to walk alongside you.

Change is possible, and you do not have to go through life’s challenges alone. With extensive counseling experience, including multiple years practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I help adults work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues just to name a few by using practical effective tools.

Every journey begins with a single step, let’s take it together.

I’ve enjoyed working with clients who are looking for change in their lives and are willing to take an honest look at patterns and behaviors that have historically led to conflict or unhappiness.

My goal is to be the client's most avid cheerleader.

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.
