I have been an experienced licensed professional counselor for 16 years. Providing empathy, compassion and support, is part of my fundamental belief system. Everyone has a story to tell and to be heard! I provide a non-judgmental environment for clients to feel safe and respected. My approach to mental wellness is eclectic at times, as I try to meet my client "where they are" for treatment. I have the best job in the world meeting and inspiring individuals/couples!
I have over 30 years of clinical management , regulatory compliance, and consulting experience in behavioral healthcare systems both public and private. Former owner/operator of Community Health Center .I also have a deep knowledge of clinical program development including policies and procedures, staff training, and agency operations. I'm an expert in Florida Medicaid, Medicare and other state and federal regulatory compliance requirements . However, my real passion is working directly with clients offering support and having a first hand view of their personal growth. I speak Spanish and Greek .
I have 15 years of experience providing psychotherapy in multidisciplinary practices essentially as a generalist; the primary focus of my practice is very much on establishing a solid connection with my patients, which I believe creates a supportive and safe sense of relationship with me - essential for change and ongoing definition of goals.
My own personal goal for my patients is giving them a sense of what the solution might look, and feel, like.

I help individuals manage anxiety, depression and burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach; addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit.
I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the different challenges they face and build coping skills to create more fulfilling and holistic life experiences. From my journey, I can personally attest to the power of support, in its many forms. This support goes beyond clients I service but also to their families and communities.

My career has afforded me opportunities to build trust with LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, Latina/o/x, and Refugee communities across the nation.

Hi, my name is Bradley Levy LICSW and have 20 years of experience in the field. Are there changes that either you want to or need to act upon? If things feel too difficult to change and you need guidance, support, direction, and empathic listening you might be a great candidate for individual therapy from me. What separates me from other clinicians is my versatility. Throughout my career, I have worked at every level of care and every population. From individual therapy/group therapy to intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs to being the clinical director at a locked psychiatric hospital, I have seen pretty much everything.
My main objective in all cases is to try and build a trusting rapport/relationship in which no judgment is made and an atmosphere where one can feel safe talking about difficult issues, their current level or desire to change through motivational interviewing and CBT. Over the years I have come to develop areas of extreme expertise such as addiction (either oneself or a loved one), co-occurring disorders or dual diagnosis, dealing with any diagnosis from adjustment disorders to more complex or serious mental illness which includes major depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, and the conditions that fall within these categories. In addition, I can offer case management services, assist with paperwork, or find the right treatment if need a higher level of care.
I’m here to support you in navigating life’s ups and downs with care, curiosity, and compassion. I hold a PhD and am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I believe therapy should feel like a safe, welcoming space where you can be yourself, explore what’s on your mind, and discover new ways forward. My goal is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you work toward healing and growth.

I received my Master's from Boston College and have more than 10 years of Licensed Clinical Behavioral Health experience. My clinical background derives from psychiatric inpatient, corrections, outpatient services, family/school/ community-based programming, and emergency crisis services. Culturally sensitive, I am always eager to serve diversified backgrounds, ages and communities.
I hold the title of Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and am the proprietor of TEA Time Therapeutic Services LLC. My journey in the Behavioral Health field commenced in 2016, encompassing dedicated work with diverse individuals and families facing various life challenges.
I successfully completed two years of supervision, accumulating over 1,500 hours of clinical experience to attain the LCSW designation. Graduating from the Advanced Standing program at Florida International University in 2018 with a Master of Social Work, I have since applied my expertise in providing evidence-based treatment to a broad spectrum of clients, including children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly population.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida and Virginia with experience supporting adults through ongoing stress and major life transitions.

My work is grounded in the belief that therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely seen, safe, and empowered, especially if you’ve felt overlooked, misunderstood, or disconnected in other parts of your life.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. I bring a calm, nonjudgmental presence to the therapy room, and I meet you where you are- whether you’re navigating anxiety, cultural identity stress, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, or past trauma.
In sessions, I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. These approaches offer structure and flexibility, helping us identify what’s getting in the way and build tools to support your growth and well-being. That said, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model, I stay adaptable and responsive to what you need most in the moment.
Outside of therapy, I value the same things I support my clients in cultivating: meaningful relationships, mindfulness, resilience, and space to breathe. I believe in showing up fully, both as a clinician and as a human being, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate whatever comes next.

Hi, I’m Jamilex (she/her), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional based in Massachusetts. I offer online therapy for adolescents and adults navigating trauma, identity, and life transitions—especially those from BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities who are carrying complex stories that haven’t always felt safe to tell. My path to becoming a therapist began long before I earned my degree. Before I became a therapist, I was a young person surviving systems, silences, and scars; searching for safety, words, and meaning. My journey through abuse, family estrangement, foster care, and the military shaped not only my life, but my purpose. I know what it’s like to carry pain that feels too heavy, or too complicated, to name. That journey shaped my belief that even in silence, our stories matter. Even in pain, growth is possible.
