My name is Jazmine. I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). My passion is helping people take charge of their mental health and overall well-being. Life can be challenging, and whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, trauma, or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
I believe in a holistic, patient-centered approach to care—one that prioritizes your unique experiences, goals, and strengths. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take positive steps toward healing. Mental health care shouldn’t be intimidating or one-size-fits-all, so I work with you to find the best strategies and treatments tailored to your needs.
Building a strong, trusting partnership with my patients is at the heart of my practice. I know that small steps can lead to big transformations, and I’m committed to walking alongside you on your journey to better mental health.

Hello and welcome. I believe that healing happens through a connection of mind, body and spirit. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered to create meaningful change. Drawing from a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, I help clients identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck while building practical tools for growth and resilience. I believe in the strength of the human spirit and having the ability to reframe core belief's. Whether you are navigating a difficult season or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I would be honored to support you on your journey.
My experience includes mental health treatment, substance use treatment, eating disorder treatment, intensive family therapy, and grief work. I view each person within the context of their relationships, environment, and life experiences, and tailor treatment to meet their unique needs.

I believe every person has the capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and bring experience working with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families from diverse backgrounds. As a bilingual counselor, I provide therapy in both English and Spanish.
I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, trauma, grief, life transitions, betrayal and infidelity, self-esteem challenges, and stress. I also enjoy supporting couples who want to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection.

I have rotated through a multitude of mental health settings (e.g. emergency dept, inpatient, hospital consults, treatment resistant depression and many others). I believe every individual is deserving of quality care. Hablo español
If you're struggling with addiction, carrying the weight of complex trauma, or trying to cope while managing a chronic health condition, I want you to know there's a way forward — and you don't have to walk it alone. I'm a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) with over 16 years of experience across private practice, residential substance abuse treatment, medical social work, and the non-profit world. I've sat with people in their hardest, most overwhelming moments, and I bring that same steady, non-judgmental presence to every session.
Much of my work centers on substance use and recovery, complex trauma, and the emotional toll of chronic medical conditions. Whether you're in the thick of a crisis or finally ready to address something you've carried for years, I'll meet you exactly where you are — with compassion, real tools, and zero judgment.
While every person's journey is unique, many clients report feeling more hopeful, confident, and emotionally grounded as they begin the therapeutic process. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged.
For more than a decade, I've worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress. I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is a genuine, trusting relationship. I take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are, and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.
Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. They appreciate that I balance listening and validation with practical tools they can begin using in their daily lives. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
Hi, I'm Diana — a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with individuals and families, including older adults, navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, and life transitions. My background spans schools, foster care, supportive housing for youth, and outpatient mental health across New York and Florida. I know how hard it can be to find a therapist who truly understands your culture, your language, and the pressures you carry — whether that's family expectations, being the one everyone else leans on, health changes, caregiving, or figuring out who you are apart from everyone else's needs. Many of the people I work with are holding it together for everyone around them while quietly running on empty. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel understood, in whichever language feels most like home.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Over the past 10 years I have worked as a Substance Abuse Counselor, Group Facilitator, Counseling families, Individuals, The Sheltered Homeless population, First Responders, and the geriatric population. I have also worked with children who are in the foster care system. I have experience in anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma/PTSD, Behavior issues, and other areas as well.
