Lying awake at 3 AM while your mind replays everything that went wrong. Dragging through another day with pain nobody else can see. Worrying so much your chest is tight before your feet hit the floor. Feeling nothing where you used to feel something. You've tried pushing through it. Ignoring it. Waiting for it to pass. It isn't working. I'm Bryan Barry, a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. I help adults with insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression — problems that feed each other and rarely resolve on their own. Insomnia and pain don't respond to general talk therapy.

Hello, My name is Raquel Rezentes- Hernandez and I have been practicing in the field of mental health as a licensed clinical therapist for the past six years.

Hello, I am Shana Toney, a Licensed Professional Counselor. Over my lifetime I have always worked in human services. It was gratifying to work with clients in their time of need and support them through the process. Many of the clients would say they felt comfortable talking to me and I listened to their needs. Those years of serving the community led me to become a therapist. Once I became a therapist 8 years ago, I found my passion. I love having the opportunity and freedom to work with clients, helping them figure things out, learn to create change in their lives and coping with situations they have no control over. Change is not easy but possible. My role as a therapist is to walk with clients to help create their change and happiness they desire.

I work with adults who are experiencing OCD, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship frustrations. A lot of people I see describe themselves as high functioning but there is an internal struggle of questioning what needs to change or who they are at their core. I offer a warm, welcoming environment to explore these questions and I am neurodivergent affirming and LGBTQ+ supporting. My approach is trauma informed, collaborative, and grounded in respect for autonomy and lived experience. Fear of judgment from a therapist is a common concern and while I might challenge certain narratives or beliefs, I draw my responses from a place of curiosity. Sometimes I hear people say, "...I know that sounds crazy" or they apologize for the words they use. I want therapy to be a place where you can show up as you are. I am difficult to offend and I am not listening to your words so I can judge how you express yourself. The important thing is for you to just say what you need to and we will go from there. Please note: I am unable to prescribe medication, assess for ADHD/ADD, or write ESA letters. Many times, a psychiatrist can help with these pieces. Although this platform offers AI options, I will not ever utilize AI for your care.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relational issues, parenting concerns, career challenges, childhood/adult trauma, sexually harmful behaviors, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, life coaching and more. My therapy style is welcoming, engaging and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion, and I don't believe in put-downs as we have all experienced barriers and roadblocks at some point in our life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting adults, Veterans, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship stress, chronic health concerns, and systems-related challenges. I’ve worked across medical, community, psychiatric, and government settings, which means I understand how personal struggles are often connected to larger life circumstances—not just what’s happening internally, but what’s happening around you.

I specialize in women’s mental health and well-being, with over 15 years of experience helping individuals grow and meet goals. My direct and compassionate approach supports you through life’s challenges. My practice is rooted in mindfulness, CBT, and solution-focused practices to help you find balance and clarity as we work through concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions such as divorce, breakups, relationship trauma/ issues, self-esteem, and parenting. I’m dedicated to creating a safe and empowering space where you can process trauma, heal, and reconnect with your inner strength.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida, Oregon, Kansas (LSCSW), New Hampshire, and Texas. I received my Master's degree from Louisiana State University and have been practicing for 9 years. I help adults find ways to heal their anxiety and depression, help them become more self-aware, and to stop negative thinking, so they can become the best versions of themselves. I help adults ages 18+ struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, suicidal ideations, self-harm, grief/loss, and life transitions. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities such as CBT, CPT, DBT, ACT, Interpersonal, Narrative, Supportive, Compassionate, Grief, and various others depending on your needs. I help clients stay in the present moment (utilizing other techniques) as this can be very difficult to do in our busy lives today. I became a social worker because I want to help people feel better about themselves and their lives. I no longer wanted to be "just an employee" and work for a large organization. I wanted to use my strengths and abilities to help others because it would be challenging and rewarding. Therapy is a form of "self-care", and we will work together as a team to address your specific challenges, goals, and needs. I am dedicated, passionate, and caring. I also conduct emotional support animal evaluations in Florida, Texas, New Hampshire, Kansas, and Oregon. If you would like more information about me or getting an emotional support animal evaluation completed, please visit my website at instillinghopepsychotherapy.com.
