I enjoy working with people of all ages who are looking for some help along their journey in life. It is important to me to provide a safe, calming and non-judgmental environment that allows clients to pursue their goals in a supportive environment.

I enjoy encouraging others who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, as well as life transitions and changes. I have counseled with others for more than 20 years, in many different age groups and areas, from children to seniors and those struggling with issues surrounding life changes and transitions, chronic illness, disabilities and grief and loss.

I look forward to meeting you and walking along side of you through your journey!

I have developed curriculum for several states in thousands of schools. I have been a children's, courts, school, outpatient, and substance abuse therapist. I love all populations, people, ages, and lifestyles. My purpose is to help and grow my clients. I will learn from you just like you will learn from me, this is a partnership. I have a Bachelor of Science in Social Work, Master of Social Work, and a Master of Medicine in Public Health from Wayne State University School of Medicine.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) located in Ocala, Florida. I recieved my Masters degree from the University at Bufallo in the Sate of New York. I've been practcing for 40 years and work with people of all ages who are struggling with anxiety and depression. I utilize cognitive behavior therapy, active listening and support to help clients gain coping skills and independence. Everyone deserves to become the best version of themselves, feel good and make healthy decisions.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. I specialize in working with men’s mental health, career challenges, and building practical skills for long term emotional resilience. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and narrative therapy. I focus on helping you understand your patterns, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change not just symptom relief. Clients often describe my style as direct, down to earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a clinical script. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just trying to get your life back on track, we’ll work together to build clarity, confidence, and momentum.

I am dedicated to creating a welcoming environment where every client feels genuinely heard and appreciated. Imagine a warm, safe, and creative space where laughter and empathy are as valuable as meaningful conversation. Here, every topic is worth exploring, and there's no room for judgment. I may gently invite you to look at things from new perspectives, but my focus is on helping you recognize your own potential for positive change. I truly believe in your ability to make choices that lead to growth and happiness. Let’s embark on this journey together, crafting a personalized plan to enhance your overall well-being. Along the way, I incorporate various therapeutic approaches, including Art Therapy, to provide a creative outlet for your personal growth. Together, we'll work as a team, guiding you toward informed decisions and the realization of your dreams, one step at a time. It is a privilege to be part of each client’s journey of growth and self-discovery. If you're ready to begin, please look at bookings for availability. Let's take this journey together, where creativity and exploration light the path to healing and transformation.

Feeling stuck in your career, relationships, or life direction? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. I work with individuals who are ready to better understand themselves, overcome obstacles, and create meaningful, lasting change. Using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, clarify what you truly want, and build realistic, achievable goals that move you forward. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. As you grow and your needs evolve, our work can shift with you. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, empowered, and equipped with practical tools for real-life change. If you’re ready to move beyond feeling stuck and start creating the life you want, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in that process.

As a therapist, I strive to provide a supportive, safe space for clients where they can become their best selves and feel validated in their experiences. I hope to help clients gain perspective on their individual situations and create a plan to achieve personal goals. I enjoy throwing in a bit of humor along the way & will meet you where you’re at!

I am in my mid-life body years but my spirit and soul are forever young. I love people. I value my innate ability for unconditional positive regard for all souls. I believe all people are born good and beautiful, but through tough life experiences we get stuck in pain and fear. By identifying autonomic body responses and the connection to our thoughts there is a way to get back to the person we were intended to be, happy and full of life.

Hi, We all have rough patches from time to time and can use an impartial person to help get us back on track, and that is what Rick can do for his clients. Rick is well versed in traversing life's obstacles and assisting in overcoming many different types of challenges. He has 25 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, and couples. Rick specializes in working with borderline personality disorder, substance use disorder, and self-harm clients. His years as a college professor give him a patient and attentive approach to psychosocial therapy. Rick helps clients overcome challenges with different treatment approaches like cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), person-centered, and trauma focused therapies among others. I'm a LMSW, with a CAADC I received my Masters in social work from the University of MIchigan-Ann Arbor and have been practicing for 25 years. I help young adults struggling with career stress and burnout become the best versions of themselves.

I am an LMSW, soccer coach, and former collegiate athlete. Formerly the Ehrenberg Family Fellow for Athletic Counseling in the University of Michigan Athletic Department. I provided mental health and athletic performance care for up to thirty Division 1 varsity student-athletes. I received my master’s degree from the University of Michigan School of Social Work in 2020. My passion is to help individuals become masters of themselves and to help them accomplish their goals. I work from a social justice lens to be culturally sensitive, utilizing strength-based, solution-focused interventions. I strive to work collaboratively toward clients’ objectives. I have worked with patients on athletic performance, injury support, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, sleep issues, relational stressors, grief/loss, trauma and suicidality. My approach is foundationally a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework, and I am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I intend to earn my certification in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). The area I am most passionate about is the study of traumatic, toxic-stress, and mind/body symptoms. I have been interested in how trauma extends beyond some of the more historic notions of PTSD and ACEs. I myself was a collegiate athlete and, through many hardships and obstacles, on and away from the field, went through my own mental health journey. After coaching youth soccer for eight years since college, it became apparent to me that we had been neglecting the mental health of athletes and, oftentimes, of youth in general. In turn, my biggest motivation became de-stigmatizing mental health problems, particularly in the world of sport, and being a spokesperson for the value of therapy.

I am passionate about supporting individuals, groups, and communities through healing, growth, and emotional wellness. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and strengths-based, with a focus on helping clients feel empowered, supported, and understood. Therapy is not about “fixing” a person. It is about helping clients reconnect with themselves, build self-awareness, strengthen emotional wellness, and create practical tools for everyday life. We honor each client’s story and work together to create a path toward healing, confidence, and stability.

Over 15 years ago, I began my work as a licensed professional counselor. Since then, I’ve worked with diverse individuals and consistently seen that when people are empowered with the right information, they can often find the best solutions to their challenges. Using a range of evidence-based therapies, I guide purposeful conversations and reflection to support that process. I believe in discussing difficult topics with compassion and without judgment. Because you are the expert on your own life, collaboration is central to our work. Together, we develop practical and creative solutions, remain flexible as needs evolve, and build a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship focused on your goals. My experience includes four years working primarily with children and teenagers facing anxiety, mood concerns, relationship challenges, stress, and future planning. Prior to that, I worked in community mental health supporting clients ages 11 to 99 with a wide range of mental health concerns. I approach each client with respect for their resilience and capacity for growth. My role is to offer clarity, tools, and guidance as we work together to build confidence, develop strategies, and create meaningful progress toward your goals.

I am a trauma-based therapist, psychodynamic in orientation. I work with clients holistically, believing we are more than the sum of our parts and our trauma's. I tend to consider myself anti-diagnosis putting a major emphasis on making linkages to our pasts including prior relationships and family ties. I am also a dual diagnosis therapist believing with substance abuse concerns are composed of mental health issues and negative experiences. I also prefer but do not find necessary involvement with services from partners, husbands/wifes ect. I find the majority of clients we see also possess stress from unresolved issues with relationships, present and past.

I’m a therapist who works with individuals experiencing serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI), anxiety, depression, and substance use challenges.
