Hi! I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who has been practicing in Florida since 2012. I strive to help individuals and couples without judgement, providing feedback and support when needed. I understand the difficulty in reaching out for help, and will do my best to offer the support that is needed. I try to conduct myself with honesty and care, and believe my clients recognize that.

I have been working in the helping professions my entire adult life. I first became licensed over 25 years ago and have had the pleasure of helping many people over the years, both online and in my private practice. While serving on the Faculty at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine as the Assistant Director for the Office of Clinical Services and Senior Data Analyst, I learned the importance of setting measurable outcomes and establishing goals for treatment.

Hello, I’m Dr. Wynn, a Licensed Psychologist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and balance. I draw on evidence-based approaches to support clients dealing with stress, anxiety, mood changes, and adjustment issues. Some of the common concerns I help clients address include depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, and family-related challenges. I’m passionate about assisting clients in processing difficult emotions and developing healthy ways to cope with life’s many stressors within a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment.

I believe therapy works best when it feels human, so let me start by telling you a little about me. Outside of session, you will usually find me outdoors. I take long walks with my husband and our dachshund. I spend as much time in nature as I can, I go to yoga classes, longboard and sing. Those things keep me grounded, and they are part of why I believe so much in the value of small, sustainable practices that bring you back to yourself.

In my practice, I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and questions of identity. I also support people through family issues, relationship struggles, stress and burnout, ADHD, and grief. I am inquisitive, warm, and not easily rattled.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving women in Montana and Florida through my private practice, Heart Development Strategies, LLC. I earned my Master of Social Work from Western New Mexico University and hold a graduate certificate in Rural Community Social Work. I am trained in EMDR, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, Internal Family Systems, and strengths-based, person-centered approaches.

I specialize in working with emotionally and mentally exhausted women navigating anxiety, burnout, compassion fatigue, trauma, and major life transitions. Many of the women I work with are leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and caregivers who have spent years holding everything together while quietly losing touch with themselves. Women often come to me because they want someone real, warm, honest, and straightforward. I am not here to impress you or give you a script to follow. I meet you where you are with truth, compassion, and practical support.

Please note, outside of Headway insurance I also accept Mountain Health Co-Op, Peak PPO.

If you've found your way here, chances are you're carrying something heavy. Maybe anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that reshaped your world, the exhaustion of new motherhood, or a quiet sense that you've lost track of who you are. Whatever it is, I want you to know you don't have to hold it alone anymore.

I became a therapist because I believe every person's story matters, and because I've seen what happens when someone finally feels safe enough to tell theirs. That's the part of this work I love most: watching people move from stuck and overwhelmed to grounded and free. I bring warmth and empathy to every session, but I'll also be honest with you. My clients often tell me they feel truly heard for the first time, and that's exactly what I'm hoping to give you.

I especially love working with people navigating identity, maternal mental health, grief and loss, cultural and ethnic experiences, and anxiety. I bring a culturally sensitive lens to all of it, because your background, your faith, and your family are part of your story too — not something to leave at the door.

Hi, I’m Jheanelle Bailey, a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 17 years caring for people affected by cancer. My background spans pediatric and adult oncology, chemotherapy infusion, and inpatient and outpatient cancer care — so I understand the emotional weight a diagnosis can carry, for patients, survivors, caregivers, and families alike.

Supporting people through cancer is my passion, and I also care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate and evidence-based — including medication management and brief therapy — in a judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and genuinely supported.

Hi, I’m Crystal, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes everyone deserves a safe space where they feel heard, understood, and supported. Since 2021, I have been providing therapy services in private practice, community mental health, and crisis intervention settings, helping individuals navigate some of life’s most challenging moments, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, stress, and major life transitions.

My experience supporting individuals through different stages of their mental health journey has shaped my compassionate and understanding approach to therapy. I recognize that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable being your authentic self.

I believe therapy is a meaningful process where you can explore your experiences, gain insight, recognize your strengths, and develop healthier ways to navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to meet you where you are, provide support and guidance, and help you build the tools needed to create meaningful change, healing, and greater balance in your life.

Hi, I'm Gabriell! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we'll explore the challenges you're facing and develop practical strategies to help you feel more confident and achieve your goals. Outside of work, I'm a mom who enjoys spending time with my family, staying active, relaxing at the beach, and reading whenever I get the chance. I also have a cream mini dachshund named Honey, who may occasionally make an appearance during our virtual sessions!

Hi, I’m Courtney. I want more for you than just getting through another week. I know reaching out can feel overwhelming, but you’ve already taken the first step. With a background in high-stress environments, I specialize in helping people find calm in the middle of their personal storms.

I have specific experience supporting parents of children with difficult behaviors, including those in biological, foster, or kinship roles.

I work from a Christian perspective, though faith is only integrated into our sessions if you choose.
