Hi this is Carol. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker in eight states including Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Illinois. My career started in Pennsylvania where I attended Chestnut Hill College and received my Master's in Counseling Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy Option. It continued in upstate Pennsylvania and New York where I attended SUNY University of Buffalo and received my Master of Social Work Degree. I capped those off with a Psy.D. from CalSouthern University, an online doctoral format. I am also an Advanced Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor in the state of South Carolina. I was fortunate to have an opportunity to attend the University of South Carolina shortly after relocating where I received a certificate in Military Matters. If you are being stalked by traumatic memories that you cannot shake, we can disburse them using best evidence practices. If your anxiety has gotten out of control, we can combine forces to put you in control of the stressors and persistent thoughts that keep you from being your best and sleeping well at night. When depression makes you want to stay inside of your home or in bed each day, I have tools we can use to empower you and help you avoid guilt. For any problem that interferes with your life or life transitions, there is a tool in my toolbox that has the power to bring about change. If we need a tool from someone else's toolbox, I know how to either borrow that tool, gain that missing knowledge, or do a warm handoff without missing a beat. I strongly believe in the unity of and interaction between the mind and body. The body keeps the score and emotional and physical assaults leave scars. I believe that a respectful level of humor enhances one's ability to grow and accept the dialectal events in life. Research tells us that a sense of humor helps people to learn and grow. Therapy is one of many ways in which we learn to navigate the roads and streams of life.

Hi, my name is Melissa. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee specializing in helping individuals navigate anxiety, stress, depression, grief/loss and life transitions. I provide individual therapy sessions online. I take a holistic approach to therapy using traditional psychotherapy techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. In 2001 I completed a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work (MSW) from Florida State University. I received my Florida license in Social Work (LCSW) in 2004 and have since added additional licenses in Tennessee and Georgia. I have worked in a variety of settings including hospitals, Hospice programs, schools and as an independent contractor providing tele-mental health counseling services to individuals who are experiencing varying levels of challenges due to chronic medical conditions, life situations and/or mental health concerns. I enjoy helping people work through the challenges of today's world as we take the journey together to get you to where you want to be in your life.

As a licensed Psychologist, I first prioritize learning not only why a person is contacting me, but also to be able to relate to that person based on their individual needs and what are their expectations of therapy. I believe that we all need to have a sense of purpose or meaningfulness in our lives, something that our thoughts, emotions and life experiences contribute to the "heart" of our personalities. The process of healing from the challenges of life begins with a search for truth about our beliefs, habits and relationships. Physical health is affected by our mental health through the complex interactions between the brain and bodily functions. Interventions I use in my sessions include Cognitive Therapy, CBT, DBT and ACT. As a Psychologist, I have worked in private practice, long term care, and forensic and psychiatric hospitals. Even though these patient populations are diverse, the common denominator is the human "heart". My sessions work to connect a person's sense of meaning in life to help them overcome anxiety, depression and a loss of personal identity in this complex world.

In childhood, Anthony experienced a life change, had difficulty adjusting, and developed defenses and a persona non grata to ward off people. Anthony had angst from the very start after the adjustment. To connect with him you would have had to be unbothered by his irreverent personality, unruly Goth fashion, and intense love for Academy Award-winning actress, Anjelica Huston and her movies The Witches and the Addams Family. His preference for isolation brought him to develop an awareness of human complexity and in turn, caused him to disconnect from people. Anthony had whatever mood you would call this going for him (or not) up until his early twenties when for a small window of time, he unexpectedly fell into the role of a caregiver, and for however short of a period it was, it was rewarding nonetheless. Before Anthony knew it, he no longer was afraid to connect with people. The universe further surprised him when without clear intention he enrolled in social work school and earned his master’s degree– the shock! And, for about seven years, he has been a social worker and a therapist. Since then, he's enjoyed working with people and guiding them in their embrace and acceptance of their originality, especially their shadows, so that they can love themselves unconditionally. So, in short, he applied his kooky and quirky spirit to the greater good and alchemized his time of difficulty, and learning experiences to humanity and interconnectedness.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I provide psychotherapy in California and Rhode Island (LCSW / LICSW). therapeutic expertise is in the area of anxiety, depression, grief, relational issues, major life transitions, adjusting to challenging health diagnoses, and trauma processing. A significant focus of my work with clients includes building a partnership that enhances compassion, respect, self-esteem, and resilience. I am a United States Veteran who has experienced many deployments, making me highly attuned to the stressors of Military and Veteran life. I specialize in treating individuals who are struggling with the effects of past physical, emotional, or combat-related trauma. I am an EMDRIA-trained Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist who focuses on creating a nonjudgmental and supportive environment. My passion as a mental health clinician is an intentional one: To help navigate your wellness journey in a way that’s effective and authentic. I sincerely believe that no matter what someone has been through they have control of how they narrate their lives. It is my goal to help you find and accept your true self. Everyone’s path to recovery is different, which is why I help facilitate growth by creating custom treatment plans designed to reduce symptoms while helping you stabilize your mood. I use a comprehensive mental health model that addresses the whole person, including the physical, mental, emotional, and physiological aspects of each client. My greatest desire is to help you realize that long-term change is not only possible but also sustainable when it is intentional and consistent. Learning how to identify triggers to negative thoughts and beliefs gives you the power to regain control of your life while helping you infuse life with new meaning. For me, the importance of therapy is to recondition maladaptive perspective, build emotional intelligence, and educate you on how to better navigate life circumstances. Through conscious and constant effort, you will build adaptive coping skills, achieving the ability to manifest the very best version of yourself every day. The therapist-client relationship is unique and ours will be the foundation for change and set the stage for healing. Reaching out for assistance is difficult, but you are taking the first step toward healing and growth. I would enjoy speaking with you and assisting you in reaching your goals while helping you better navigate your struggles. Book an appointment with me today.

Hello! Thank you for beginning this journey. If this is your first time in therapy, welcome. Getting started can be tough, especially talking to someone you don't know about things that make you uncomfortable, sad, angry, or embarrassed. I maintain a nonjudgmental space and a process that is introspective. Therapy is difficult sometimes and at other times it can be an enjoyable part of your week. I encourage you to express your thoughts freely and without apology. Whether you had a not-so-great counseling experience in the past, or you’re returning because prior experiences helped you trust therapy and its benefits, you are welcome here. I look forward to working together. Jennifer
