Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or simply “not like themselves.” Whether the root is mental health, hormones, or a mix of both, my goal is to help you understand what’s happening in your body and mind — and create a plan that actually helps you feel better.

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience treating complex chronic conditions, acute medical issues, and a wide range of mental health concerns. My background in the emergency room strengthened my ability to stay calm, think clearly, and support patients through some of their most difficult moments.

I am double board‐certified as an FNP‐BC and PMHNP‐BC, which allows me to integrate medical and psychiatric expertise. This means I look at the full picture — hormones, sleep, stress, mood, lifestyle, and physical health — to understand what’s driving your symptoms.

My approach is compassionate, practical, and evidence‐based. I take time to listen, explain things clearly, and work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your life. You deserve care that feels supportive, personalized, and focused on long‐term wellness.

If you’re ready to feel more balanced, focused, and in control again, I’m here to help you get there.

Latonia Ambush

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe that healing happens within the context of a safe, supportive relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore your experiences without fear of judgment. I understand that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they pursue healing and personal growth.

I am a licensed therapist in both Florida and California with over seven years of experience working with adults. I am EMDR trained and use an attachment-based, trauma-informed approach that integrates evidence-based practices, including EMDR, parts work, somatic techniques, and psychoeducation. My work focuses on helping individuals heal from trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, and grief and loss while developing healthier relationships, greater emotional resilience, and lasting change.

As a Christian counselor, I also enjoy integrating faith into the therapeutic process for clients who desire it, while honoring each person's unique values and beliefs. I primarily work with adults who are navigating the effects of trauma, difficult life experiences, anxiety, grief, and relational challenges. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I am committed to providing compassionate, collaborative care that supports your journey toward healing and hope.
