We all face challenges—some big, some small—that can deeply impact our lives. These struggles can feel overwhelming, draining our mind, body, and spirit. I understand this personally, having walked through my own experiences with depression and anxiety. With the support of God, professionals, and family, I was able to grow stronger through those difficult times. My journey led me from Nursing into the field of Counseling, where I now feel called to help others find hope, healing, and strength in the midst of their own challenges.

Welcome! I’m Tamika of Life in Bloom. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Wedding Officiant. I’m here to help you navigate life's stressful relationships. In our talks, I refer to those stressors as “thorns.” Why thorns, you ask? Great question! Because even the most beautiful roses have some uncomfortable pieces. That doesn’t make them any less beautiful, valuable, or appreciated. I have been commissioned to help couples, families, friends, and any other relationship dynamic find their communication style, boundaries, and build trust. It is truly my joy and my personal life’s work.
Therapy isn’t what we have traditionally seen on television or in film. It is so much more than sitting on a big, comfy couch, sharing your innermost thoughts/feelings. Therapy is beautiful and transformative - and can take work. Don’t worry! I am here to help you every step of the way. Life and all the hats you wear from day to day can be challenging. I encourage and empower you to unlock the power you have inside of you. I promise you it’s there! I also help you reflect on how far you have come in order to celebrate your victories with you - big or small. Kudos to you for seeking help! You are in a safe space. I look forward to working with you and watching you bloom.
Things have started falling apart around you. You're worried about losing a relationship, your job, or worse. People close to you have started to mention they are worried about you. A part of you wants to change, but you're stuck between unbearable emotions and trying to keep everything under control. And it's not working out. You may be lashing out, drinking more, or avoiding people close to you. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, shame from the past, or out-of-control substance use, you don’t have to stay where you are – suffering. You’re resilient and persistent, and right now, you’re just stuck.
I help people recover from being stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or the shame that comes with out-of-control substance use. I can help you figure out how to get back on track by teaching you the tools you’ll need to manage your feelings and problems and how to recover your relationships. No one needs to go through what you are feeling, alone.
If you are ready for a new strategy and to try something different, I can help. The biggest result I could give you is to help you remove barriers that prevent you from achieving your goals. I do this with DBT, Brainspotting, and other therapy techniques. Take the first step and schedule an appointment online.
Hi! I am a licensed mental health therapist, currently practicing in 5 states (NJ, NC, FL, GA and TX).
I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling and Psychology from LaSalle University, over 10 years ago.
My goal is to give you the tools needed to stop surviving, and start living an authentic life. In a safe and secure place, we will face the past, heal it and bring you to become the best version of yourself.
I have over 19 years of clinical experience in Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities across a variety of settings. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Master Addiction Counselor, Certified Professional Counseling Supervisor and am certified in a number of various specialties.
I'm a foodie who enjoys traveling, reading, writing, fashion, and action-packed movies. I'm a lifelong learner and enjoy seeking more information via training and seminars on various topics.
I'm a fully licensed therapist who found my calling in mental health after spending 14 years in education. My transition into therapy was deeply personal—having experienced the power of therapy myself during a period of grief, I developed a profound respect for the healing process. That experience continues to fuel my passion for helping clients navigate life’s challenges and achieve their personal goals.
I don’t take it lightly that you’re here—seeking support is a courageous step. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. My commitment is to walk alongside you in this journey with the same care, empathy, and integrity that I would want for myself.
I am here to help you remember who you are and build the capacity to hold life’s waves and find ways to root back into yourself no matter what is happening around you.
My approach is person centered and creative. I weave nervous system regulation, expressive arts, mindfulness, and storytelling to help you feel safe in your body, clear in your mind, and hopeful about your future. Whether you are moving through grief, caregiving fatigue, anxiety, trauma, or simply the disorienting transitions of being human, I will meet you with compassion and honesty.
I know the terrain of loss, overwhelm, and starting again. My own story has taught me that healing is never linear but it is always possible. Therapy with me is an invitation to be fully yourself, to process what hurts, and to grow into the life you long for with more presence, confidence, and ease.

My goal is to create a supportive space that balances understanding and change, helping you move forward at your own pace.

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.
Are you struggling with anxiety? don’t seem to manage your daily task, difficulty adjusting to changes? Do you feel misunderstood and find yourself being frustrated? There is hope. You will learn effective communication skills that work to deliver your message to others with no room for misunderstand. Moreover, by understanding yourself and gaining insight, you will be able to take the control over your life. You have the choice to change the direction of the course of your life.
At times, certain behaviors do not serve you any longer. Even behaviors that you assume to be ‘good’ such as pleasing people, being flexible, being considerate, can impact you negatively. It takes a great amount of courage to be able to acknowledge this and learn the tools to prioritize oneself. Let me help you pour and fill your cup first so you can be there for your loved ones.
My goal as a clinician is to assist my clients to a point, they no longer need me, to be self-sufficient. You will feel confident to take the driver seat of your life and use the tools you have learned or discovered to help you navigate obstacles as they come up.
Over 10 years of clinical experience has thought me that you are the expert of your life. As an expert, you will be acknowledged and accepted unconditionally. I take a Person Center Approach and use Cognitive Behavioral Theory in most cases. I also combine other approached as I see fit to the individual needs. I am here to guide you uncover your own strength, inner powers, and self-worth.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, Master Addiction Counselor, and Certified Hypnotherapist dedicated to helping individuals break free from limiting patterns and reconnect with their authentic selves. My approach blends traditional psychotherapy with hypnotherapy, mindfulness, energy psychology, and trauma-informed care. I believe true healing happens when the mind, body, and spirit align—and therapy becomes a space where insight turns into transformation. I’m passionate about supporting those who feel disconnected, emotionally blocked, or caught between who they were and who they’re becoming. My role is to hold space for your evolution—to help you remember who you truly are and step into the life waiting for you.

Most clients report that they experience symptom relief, understand their triggers, and have developed healthier coping skills over time.
Hi, I'm Shelley!

I help people who are struggling with life issues develop better skills to cope with and redirect their lives in the way that makes them more genuine with themselves and others. Together, we explore how you view the world and if your view or thinking patterns can be adjusted to help you grow. I specialize in helping teens and adults work on symptoms of depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, life stressors, and life transitions.
My goal as a therapist is to be open, honest, genuine. I will provide unconditional positive regard. I love mixing talk therapy with things you can use daily to improve your view of yourself and your life. Therapy can be scary, being open to someone you don't know is risky. I want to provide a safe space for you to be yourself. I look forward to meeting you!

I help high-achieving women move from feeling overwhelmed and stuck to feeling calm, confident, and in control of their lives.

In therapy, we create strategies to help you manage mild anxiety, stress, overwhelm, burnout, and adjustment-related challenges, while building self-trust, boundaries, and emotional independence.
I understand these transitions on a personal level. I’ve walked through divorce, burnout, and seasons of carrying it all alone. Because of that, I offer a grounded, relatable approach where you can be vulnerable and honest while still being challenged to grow. If you’re ready to step into the next chapter of your life with clarity and confidence, I’d be honored to support you.

My Professional Background and Counseling Philosophy
My passion for mental health has shaped my work with individuals, families, and communities across a variety of settings. Over the years, I have had the privilege of collaborating with clients to enhance their well-being, drawing on my experience across diverse settings, including hospital Emergency Departments, psychiatric units, community organizations, and mental health agencies. My professional journey includes supporting individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities, assisting those facing mental illness, and working with people who have experienced homelessness and hopelessness. I have also provided both individual and group therapy within clinical settings.
Counseling Philosophy
At the core of my counseling practice is the belief that meaningful change occurs through collaboration and purposeful effort. I view my clients as the experts in their own lives and encourage them to take an active role in their treatment by investing time and energy in the process. Together, we identify the outcomes that matter most to the client and work to ensure consistent progress toward those goals. My approach centers on empowering clients by fostering self-awareness and resilience, and I am dedicated to ensuring every individual feels heard, understood, and supported throughout their therapeutic journey.
Commitment to Client Autonomy
What distinguishes my counseling style is a steadfast commitment to honoring each client’s autonomy. For example, I have worked with clients who struggle with anxiety and self-doubt. By collaborating closely, we identify the client’s unique strengths and develop practical coping strategies tailored to their needs. As clients move through this process, they gradually regain their confidence and begin taking meaningful steps toward their desired outcomes. This experience reinforced for me the importance and effectiveness of a supportive, empowering therapeutic alliance. In every interaction, my focus is on achieving the best possible results and facilitating lasting, positive change.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist and Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan. My clinical approach is grounded in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, emphasizing whole-person care and the integration of mental, emotional, and overall well-being.
