Brent Schultz

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


With more than fifteen years of experience in behavioral health, my work is shaped by a deep commitment to helping individuals feel understood, supported, and empowered. My education and early training focused on counseling, addiction treatment, and behavioral health assessment, and I spent many years providing individual, group, and family therapy across detox, residential, and outpatient settings. I’ve worked closely with adults navigating substance use, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger or impulse concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and relationship or family challenges. I’ve also supported LGBTQ+ clients, justice‐involved individuals, and those managing chronic mental illness or complex psychosocial stressors.

In addition to my clinical work, I’ve spent more than a decade in behavioral health utilization management, leading teams that ensure clients receive appropriate, timely, and effective care. This blend of direct therapeutic experience and system‐level leadership gives me a unique perspective: I understand both the personal and structural challenges people face when seeking help. Clients can expect a grounded, compassionate, and collaborative approach—one that honors their story, builds on their strengths, and supports meaningful, sustainable growth.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to making high-quality mental health care accessible to everyone, especially individuals in underserved and rural communities. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, and through telehealth.

I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, or another mental health concern, we’ll work together to build a treatment plan that fits your life, not someone else’s.

My priority is helping you feel better while empowering you with the tools to thrive long after our appointments.

Lora Namoff

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I’m a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience supporting adults, older children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, and life transitions. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood, so I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where clients can show up authentically and feel comfortable exploring difficult emotions and experiences.

My work is centered around helping clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. I’m passionate about empowering clients to build self-confidence, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop practical tools that support long-term growth and resilience. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or simply looking for support through a challenging season of life, therapy can provide space for healing, clarity, and meaningful change.

I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Florida International University and have spent my career helping individuals and families move toward healthier, more balanced lives.

I support those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress management challenges, including panic disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and sleep disorders. I work with individuals experiencing grief and bereavement, end of life issues, infertility, chronic conditions such as diabetes, and other health-related disabilities that impact emotional well-being. My practice also supports clients living with bipolar disorder (also known as manic depressive illness), attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD), eating disorders, alcohol and substance abuse concerns, anger management and impulse control difficulties, and complex family or relationship issues.
