My name is Anthony and I have worked in the behavioral health field for 28 years. I am very active in the behavioral health field even being acknowledged as a Notable Leader in Behavioral Health in 2023 through Crain's Detroit. While a large portion of my work is spent training and managing a team of behavioral health professionals it is incredibly important to me to continue creating space to partner and directly serve people. This is where you come in, providing counseling is generally the best part of my work. It grounds me with why I am a work in behavioral health, it allows me to practice the skills I have learned over the decades and it creates energy and life satisfaction. You have many options of who to choose as a therapist, know that if you choose me I will be excited to see you and to partner with you. Seeing clients is literally not my job, I genuinely want to be your counselor and I look forward to seeing you.

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 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 Steven, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I have 7+ years of experience working with all ages of clientele. I’ve always had a passion for helping others work toward their goals and I've found that people can get stuck into a rut of "just surviving life" and not living it for a variety of reasons. My goal in being a therapist (and in life) is to help restore the "Joy of Living" back to my clients helping them be able to manage emotions and thoughts more consistently, improving satisfaction within key relationships, and helping clients heal/process through past trauma or barriers they perceive to be in the way of being able to live life the way they want too. On a personal note, I'm 36 years old, got married in 2020, and have two very needy, but lovely cats within my household. I'm a pretty big geek (board games, video games, fantasy sports, etc....) and pretty competitive. I like to give my best in anything that I invest into and that philosophy goes for my Professional relationships as well.

With nearly two decades of experience in my practice, I employ an eclectic approach tailored to meet diverse client needs. As an active researcher in the mental health field, I have authored numerous first-author publications in the expressive arts. My current research focuses on new and emerging tools for the treatment of anxiety. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, and I am dedicated to delivering the most effective and innovative services to support your mental health and well-being.

Hello! I am Alana and I am a licensed master social worker. I have been working for the past 7+ years in multiple different settings. Currently I work in a school as a school social worker with children ages 3-12. I have also worked in a community mental health that I served multiple populations and worked in the foster care system with families and children. I look forward to working with more people and assisting them with their goals.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, my aim to help clients build resilience, improve self-understanding, and develop practical tools for managing life's challenges and for them to become the best versions of theirselves. Whether you're struggling with past experiences, current stressors, or seeking personal development, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance. My philosophy is to help each client feel a little better everyday, by showing, teaching, or assigning homework related to thier current life stressors, whether that be low self-esteem, low self-confidence, and to empower each client to be a version of themselves.

I’m a husband and dad to three boys (ages 16, 13 and 8), and family is a huge part of my life. We live on a 20-acre homestead where we raise chickens, goats, pigs, and cows, and we spend a lot of time in the garden. Life on the farm keeps me grounded and reminds me daily of the value of patience, hard work, and slowing down to enjoy what really matters. Faith and community are also central for me. I’m actively involved in my church, and I see my work as an extension of that calling to walk alongside others. I’ve always had an entrepreneurial streak. Alongside my therapy work, I am starting a tech start-up, I’ve run an online store, and I even dabble in Bitcoin mining. I enjoy the challenge of building things from the ground up and thinking outside the box. I also read a lot, and my libertarian leanings have been shaped by writers like Murray Rothbard. The conservative/libertarian focus on freedom, personal responsibility and low time preference connects deeply with how I approach life and therapy: we’re at our best when we are free to live with responsibility in society, own our choices, and pursue truth apart from coercion. When it comes to therapy itself, I integrate my faith with practical, proven methods. I use Christian Counseling, CBT, Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method to help people grow emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. My goal is to give you a space where your values are respected, your faith is honored, and you feel equipped to face life’s challenges with hope and clarity. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the importance of faith, family, freedom, and practical tools for change, I’d love to walk with you on your journey.

I create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My practice is trauma informed, strengths based, and solution focused. I strive to help you navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. I am certified in utilizing dialectal behavioral therapy skills and am trained in a family systems approach.

My goal is to be the last therapist you have to see, that when we are done working together you have the skills to be able to manage life on your own. I love facilitating change and would love to help you develop a better way of being. I have found that developing a better relationship with yourself is essential for many people to achieve their goals. Self-awareness is not self-criticism. Having had experience working with many different people from many different backgrounds and issues has helped me to see how I can fit the tools I carry into something useful for you.

You wake up in the morning and wonder if today is the day you'll be exposed as a "fraud". Your twisting and turning on the inside. Everything inside you hurts. Your head is spinning with thoughts of what your life should be like. The voice's inside your head keep telling you you're a failure as a person, as a partner, and as a parent. You feel the the "weight of the world" pushing down on you. You're tired. You're tired of being tired. You are ready to reclaim your life. You are ready to make a change!

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!

Hello, I’m A.J., a Licensed Master Level Social Worker from the U.P. of Michigan. Faith, Family, and Fellowship are things that I strive to live for daily. My faith is very important to me.

I believe in therapy as someone who has done my own clinical work since I was in my mid-twenties. I grew up in NJ and moved to Michigan to attend college and have been here since that time. I spent the first part of my career working in the foster care system with children and adolescents which I really enjoyed. That gave me a great foundation for working with the adult issues of attachment, child developmental stages that were not accomplished and struggles with current relationships. I do a lot of work with people who were raised by narcissistic parents, people who are dealing with cancer diagnosis and those with chronic or life threatening illnesses. I work with people who are addressing childhood trauma, sexual abuse or emotional abuse. I have worked with adoptees who are seeking understanding of themselves and their past. I do a lot of work with individuals transitioning from a divorce situation and all the adjustments that this involves especially in coparenting situations. I find people and their life experiences fascinating and always worth unpacking and investigating to gain a better understanding of the self as a whole being; there is always something new to learn.

For over 26 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals, families, children, and veterans navigating life’s everyday challenges. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stretched thin by work and family responsibilities, struggling with relationship challenges, or discouraged by low self-esteem.

No matter what brings you to therapy, I believe your story matters. I strive to meet you where you are and create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. Life can be demanding and exhausting, and therapy can offer a place to slow down, reflect, and develop skills to manage it more effectively. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and strength-based. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), using evidence-based techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, manage emotions, and build practical coping skills. I also incorporate Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness strategies, and trauma-informed care to support individualized growth. Together, we focus on tools that can be applied in daily life—managing stress, improving communication, strengthening relationships, and increasing resilience at home, school, and work. I also have over 15 years of experience working with veterans, supporting life transitions, reintegration into civilian life, and access to community resources.
