Hello, My name is Philomena , but you can call me Philo, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker- Qualified Supervisor in the state of Florida who has been in the field since 2013. My work history is colored with working with Teen Mother experiencing Crisis Pregnancy who opted to parent or place their children for adoption, assessing the Veteran population for biopsychosocial needs, and working in the educational setting as a School Therapist for Middle and High School age students. I have a love for Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies and Social Work Practice with the Elderly and have Undergrad and Graduate Certificates in both areas, respectively.
While my resume and credentials may speak to my professional qualifications, I have many additional experiences that support my knowledge and cultural sensitivity. I offer a zeal for working with older teens, young adults, and women wishing to manifest change in their lives. I have worked with students struggling under social pressures and depression and have a natural knack for life skills, career guidance and helping others adjust to "Adulting." I firmly believe in the connectivity to ourselves and our environment and utilize a Systems / Strength-Based approach, focusing on what can be accomplished rather than deficits. Working as a Psychotherapist at NOLA Adulting LLC, I am able to help in bridging the gap between what formal education has taught us and life experiences. High School has prepared us for solving the quadratic equation, running a mile under 10 minutes, and understanding that in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue, but we are not prepared on how to manage that feeling of emptiness we may experience post graduation and entering the workforce, setting appropriate boundaries in interpersonal relationships, or correct work email etiquette when we are fed up.
Welcome, I am Feven!
Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? 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. I believe that mental wellness isn’t just individualistic; but includes the ecosystem surrounding the person. My praxis acknowledges and aims to support the village needed by all.
I’m also passionate about the transformative impact of safe and brave spaces for those who often experience exclusion. My career has afforded me opportunities to build trust with LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, Latina/o/x, and Refugee communities across the nation. It is a personal privilege to center wellness and holistic care for all as ‘self-care is a radical form of resistance.’
Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, trauma, PTSD, self-acceptance, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion, empathy and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back.
Let's work together!
As a therapist, I am caring, empathetic, reliable, and committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard and respected. I believe in building genuine therapeutic relationships based on trust, honesty, and collaboration. While I provide compassion and understanding, I am also assertive and direct when needed, helping clients identify patterns, challenge barriers, and work toward meaningful change.
I believe that therapy is most effective when it balances support with accountability. Clients can expect me to listen without judgment, provide honest feedback, and encourage them to explore new perspectives. I strive to empower individuals to recognize their strengths, develop healthy coping strategies, and make decisions that align with their values and goals. My commitment is to walk alongside my clients through life's challenges while providing the guidance, encouragement, and tools needed to f
My therapeutic style is warm, relational, experiential, and direct. I use humor to help clients relax and feel at home where I can. One of the first skills I teach a new client is nervous system regulation. This is a gift that will pay dividends in the future. Somatic approaches are a nice place to start and helps clients to build skills in sitting with the hard moments, slowing down when needed, cultivating curiosity, and deepening their emotional experiences. I encourage self-compassion and self-love as explorations we can make slowly and together, and over time, clients find that this can become comfortable and even joy-inducing. I believe we’re called to grow and change when the strategies that once helped us survive and adapt start causing us problems. This doesn't mean we are broken or need fixing, not at all. In fact, it is those very skills that got you here, and we celebrate that. We might consider safe and tiny ways we can help move beyond old patterns of shame, guilt, people-pleasing, and self-judgment... and into a more authentic life that is a more rewarding, exciting, and consistent way of being who you want to be. Together we aim for more authenticity, more self-forgiveness and and self-acceptance as we work towards the life YOU want.

**Let's be real, life can get messy.**
Especially when you've been carrying things for so long that you barely notice the weight anymore.
Maybe it's complicated family dynamics, childhood wounds, or the exhaustion of always being the strong one. Or maybe you're starting over, navigating loneliness, or trying to figure out who you are outside of everyone else's expectations. Whatever it is, you don't have to keep carrying it alone. We can unpack it, sort it out, and leave what no longer serves you right at the curb.
I'm Kalena, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with 7+ years of experience helping people stop pretending they're fine and start doing the deeper healing work. I specialize in dysfunctional family dynamics, emotional neglect, trauma, relationship patterns, and life transitions.
And here's the thing: **You don't need your entire family in therapy to work through family issues.** Sometimes healing begins with one person deciding to break the cycle.
My approach combines clinical expertise, lived experience, empathy, honesty, and zero judgment. I understand that breaking cycles, setting boundaries, and choosing yourself can be uncomfortable, especially when you've spent years putting everyone else's needs before your own.
Working with me means no fluff. Just honest, empowering conversations that help you understand yourself, process difficult experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and make meaningful changes.
I believe healing isn't about fixing yourself. It's about returning to who you were before life convinced you that you weren't enough.
**Ready to start doing things differently? Let's do the work together.**

I believe that everyone has the strength within them to overcome their struggles, and my role is to support you in discovering and harnessing that strength.

My name is Charity Midy. I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Arlington where I earned a Master of Social Work Degree. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in the state of Texas . I help adults handle stressful life events, negative self-talk, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression by providing a safe, nonjudgmental space to heal.
My path into counseling began in 2006, working as an addiction counselor in the prison system. Since then, I've worked in a variety of settings, including private practice, psychiatric hospitals, and intensive outpatient programs. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and life circumstances, while reinforcing a belief that lasting change happens through connection, self-awareness, and authenticity.
Clients often describe me as warm, genuine, and easy to talk to, while also being direct enough to gently challenge unhelpful patterns when they arise. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a clinical checklist. While I draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy, I also believe growth happens when we slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and pay attention to what truly matters. My love of nature and the outdoors has shaped both my life and my work, and I value helping clients find greater balance, self-acceptance, and alignment with their values.
My goal is not to fix people, but to help them recognize their strengths, trust themselves, and move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose.
Hi, I’m Lakitha Thomas, a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Nu Found Peace Counseling and Wellness, PLLC.

Shannon believes that every person is the expert on their own life, with the insight, strengths, and capacity to guide their own journey. She recognizes that life's challenges can leave us feeling lost, questioning who we are, what we're doing, and where we're headed.
With compassion and curiosity, Shannon is committed to walking alongside her clients through those difficult moments. She provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges, gain clarity, and build on each person's existing strengths. Her goal is to help clients move toward greater confidence, resilience, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.
Nobody comes to therapy because they need someone to tell them to “think positive.” They come because they’re tired. Tired of anxiety calling the shots. Tired of repeating the same relationship patterns. Tired of carrying things they were never meant to carry alone.
Life is complicated enough. Understanding yourself shouldn’t be. My job is to help you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface and give you practical tools you can actually use long after our sessions end.
No two people are the same, so no two sessions are either. We focus on what you need most that day while never losing sight of where you’re trying to go. Some days we’ll process. Some days I’ll challenge you. Some days we’ll laugh because life has a weird sense of humor. Every session has one goal: helping you move forward.
If you’re looking for a therapist who’s engaged, honest, down-to-earth, and willing to have real conversations, I think you’ll feel right at home here.
In my practice, I utilize an integrative approach that draws from a variety of evidence-based modalities. I believe that no single therapeutic method works for everyone, which is why I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual I work with. My toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns; Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which focuses on building skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness; Person-Centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard; Solution-Focused therapy, which concentrates on finding practical solutions to present challenges; EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is particularly effective for trauma processing; and Psychoeducation, which empowers clients with knowledge about their conditions and coping strategies.
Hello and welcome! My name is Deandra, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas and a faith-based therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and hope.
Life can change in an instant. One moment everything feels familiar, and the next, you're facing challenges you never expected. I understand that reality personally. At 31 years old, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, an experience that strengthened my faith, resilience, and perspective on overcoming adversity.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can process challenges, build healthy coping skills, and move toward meaningful growth.
If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Together, we can work toward healing, growth, and thriving.
Greetings! I'm a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker, boasting over 6 years of invaluable experience. My journey includes the attainment of a Master's of Science in Social Work from UTRGV. Throughout my career, I've dedicated myself to empowering teenagers and adults as they navigate the challenges of anxiety, ADHD, and depression. My focus lies in guiding clients through the complexities of self-discovery, aiding those who find themselves grappling with identity and purpose.
My passion for counseling comes from both my professional experience and my own life journey. Like many people, I have experienced seasons of loss, hardship, and uncertainty. Growing up in a home affected by abuse, alcoholism, and substance use taught me firsthand how deeply family dynamics can impact our emotional well-being. I have also experienced profound grief through the loss of my brother at a young age and, more recently, the loss of my father. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of having someone who truly listens and supports you through life's most difficult moments.
Hi, I'm Amanda, a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Matrescence and Mind Therapy. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 10 years as an educator, giving me a deep appreciation for the emotional, developmental, and relational challenges that children, teens, and families experience. As a mom myself for nearly a decade, I also understand the profound ways that parenthood can reshape identity, relationships, and mental health.
My goal is to provide a compassionate, collaborative space where clients feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, motherhood, life transitions, or the pressures of everyday life, I am committed to helping you build practical skills, deepen self-awareness, and move toward lasting healing and meaningful change.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addictions Professional, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, behavioral issues, and life transitions. I take a compassionate, supportive, trauma informed approach. I aim to provide clients with a safe space that they feel heard, respected, and equipped to develop healthier coping skills, emotional strength, and life changes.
Hello, I'm M.L.
I believe as humans we all want something similar, to feel normal. We want, desire, and try our best to feel like everyone else. Yet, simultaneously we desire to be unique, special, and individualistic. I believe it is necessary to think of humans as puzzle pieces in order to fulfill both. While the pieces share the same geographical space as well as have the same manufacturer, they are unique and serve varying purposes. Do you belong at the top but are content being a side piece? Are you on the bottom when you were meant to be at the center of it all? Let's collaborate and find out where you belong. You may discover the only thing wrong was where you (as a puzzle piece) tried to fit in.
In therapy, I collaborate with the expert on the client (you), identify obstacles, and come up with strategies for working toward your goals. I do this by first remaining curious about you as a client as well as your perspective of the issue. I serve to remind clients that everything in life does not have to feel good in order to end with good results.
You can't fix something that you don’t see. In a world of selfies no one is willing to look at any angle that doesn’t compliment their cuteness. What if you could see your truest self? The natural, emotional, relational, and spiritual you through a 3-way full body mirror. Imagine what would be possible. Good therapy, is a mirror into your soul.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in trauma, depression, anxiety, life transition, attachment, and grief. I began working as a counselor because of my own past traumas and hardships. Through my darkest days of depression and suicidal ideations, I found Jesus. With God's grace and other professional support, I learned the tools and skills to walk a life of freedom. Living a life full of hope and peace is my desire for everyone I work with.
I provide my clients with a collaborative, strengths-based approach and assist every person to be the author of their own life. To my core, I believe everyone deserves healing, transformation, and support to walk in their own freedom!
I am nationally trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, addiction, and trauma.
I enjoy traveling, reading, building relationships, and integrating spirituality as the source of my personal wellness.
I would like to describe myself as a guy who likes to collaborate with clients to reach their goals and help guide them to overcome barriers that are stopping them to achieve them. I specialize on being a great listener and collaborator with my clients to help them find the best solution to their problems. My strength is my ability to provide great empathy and listening to the problems of my clients. I understand how difficult life can be with overcoming all the many challenges that we must deal with in this ever changing world. I'm an ex-Marine and Christian that love to inspire through hard work and discipline what we can accomplish, if we just trust the process and not give up. "Trust in God and lean not into our own understanding." I'm licensed in Georgia and Texas and my ideal clients are from the age of 12 to middle adulthood. I've worked with adolescents and adults throughout my career. I specialize in working with individuals with challenges with life transitions, anger and depression, and grief.
Welcome, I'm so glad you've found your way here! I specialize in supporting teens and young adults as they navigate life's challenges, such as anxiety, life transitions, and relationship dynamics. Together, we'll create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore and understand the aspects of yourself that may be causing internal friction. As your therapist, my goal is to guide you toward greater understanding, compassion, and self-acceptance. I believe in working together to identify and address the unique challenges that may be holding you back or keeping you stuck in unhelpful patterns.
As a first generation college graduate, I understand what it means to navigate systems, expectations, and transitions without a roadmap. My own journey shaped the heart of my work: helping adolescents and young adults who are carrying similar pressures, hopes, and responsibilities. I know the resilience it takes to succeed while balancing family dynamics, cultural identity, and the desire to create a life that feels authentic and self directed. In my practice, I use a solution focused, strengths based approach that empowers clients to identify what’s working, build on their natural abilities, and create meaningful change in their daily lives. I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and deeply affirming—especially for individuals who have had to figure out so much on their own. I am passionate about supporting first generation students, high achieving youth, and clients from diverse cultural backgrounds who are navigating identity development, family expectations, academic or career stress, and the pressure to “be the one who makes it.” My goal is to provide a space where clients feel seen, supported, and equipped with tools that help them move forward with steadiness and self‑trust.
I am a licensed clinician with nearly twenty years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, life transitions, and complex stressors. Much of my clinical work has been in primary care settings, where I worked with individuals experiencing the intersection of mental health concerns, medical conditions, and significant life challenges.
I take a strengths‑based, collaborative approach and value creating space for clients to share their stories in a way that feels respectful and empowering. My work focuses on building practical coping skills, supporting emotional balance, and helping clients navigate change at a pace that feels manageable and meaningful.
I draw from evidence‑based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT‑informed), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT‑informed), mindfulness‑based strategies, Solution‑Focused Brief Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I also have extensive experience collaborating with psychiatrists and supporting clients who are receiving psychiatric medication as part of their care.
I value ongoing learning and continuing education to ensure my work remains thoughtful, ethical, and responsive to each client’s needs. I recognize that starting therapy can feel unfamiliar or overwhelming, and I strive to create a supportive, grounded space where growth can happen with honesty, compassion, and mutual respect.
Life can be challenging and uncertain, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you in creating meaningful change.
Hi, I'm Johanny Peña, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate while also being direct when needed. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported without judgment.
Together, we'll explore both the practical challenges you're facing today and the deeper patterns that may be contributing to them. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), ACT, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed care. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for change, my goal is to help you build greater self-understanding, resilience, and confidence in your life.
I am a licensed therapist specializing in supporting trauma survivors, and individual’s experiencing low self esteem, anxiety, depression, life transitions and relationship challenges. My experience working with Veterans, children, families and diverse populations has shaped my compassionate and client- centered approach. I am passionate about helping you heal from past experiences, build confidence, strengthen resilience and create healthier, more fulfilling lives.
First Session
In our first session, my focus is on getting to knowing you- what brings you to therapy, what you are hoping to gain from our work together, and what may have felt difficult or painful lately. I’ll ask gentle questions to better understand your experiences, your history, your strengths and the goal you have for therapy- where you want your life to be, a month, six months, a year from now. Then we’ll identify options and strategies you can use to get there. You will leave the session with a better understanding of what you are facing and I can help you begin making sense of your experiences, recognizing your strengths, and identifying the next steps toward healing. There is no pressure to share anything you are not ready to discuss. We will begin building a foundation of trust and understanding and develop a collaborative plan for our work together. Most importantly we will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Welcome! I am licensed to practice therapy in Texas. Thank you for taking the first step. My goal is to create an environment where you feel safe, heard, and valued through Telehealth. My desire is to listen to the many transitions you go through in life, providing practical tools that you can use in daily life for a fuller life and healthier relationships. I know making the first appointment can be hard and scary. I hope to talk to you soon.
My areas of expertise are in Anxiety, Depression, Women Issues, Life Transition, Christian Counseling and Self-Esteem issues. I use a Eclectic and Holistic approach to help my clients bring out the best in themselves. I like to use humor, challenging questions, and a warm open-minded approach.
Selecting a therapist can be difficult because it's not easy to know exactly who you are getting. "Will this person really know what she is talking about? Will she actually be able to help me?" These questions are the norm for clients and uncertainty comes with the territory of what you are searching for. I hope that you become a better and stronger you.
