Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida who has been practicing since 2015. I have a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida International University. I have an extensive background in inpatient and outpatient Substance Use and Mental Health treatment which allowed me to see firsthand the power of therapy in transforming lives.

I've spent the last 14 years walking alongside people through some of the tender, complicated seasons of life, like navigating depression and anxiety, managing overwhelming stress, working through relationship struggles, and supporting women through the physical and emotional shifts of pregnancy, postpartum, and infertility. I care deeply about the people I work with, and I bring warmth, honesty, and a genuine curiosity about who you are to every session. When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll usually find me outside moving my body, and soaking up whatever sunshine I can find.

I provide a comfortable and supportive environment in which we explore stressors, thought patterns and feelings that may be contributing to your challenges. Through a strong therapeutic relationship based on respect and empowerment, we will work together to resolve the challenges you are facing and to develop goals deemed most useful in moving you forward to a positive outcome.

I have worked with diverse populations in a variety of settings, including inpatient psychiatric stabilization, homeless prevention, and integrated healthcare. These experiences have allowed me to develop an eclectic skill-set with a person-centered approach. I love being a social worker and having the privilege of helping others heal and grow.

“I want you to know that I’m here to support you with you with warmth and honesty. I’ll listen deeply, but I’ll also be directwhen it helps. You move forward. I’d believe I’m working towards real practical solutions so you’ll always feel heard, and we’ll take steps that make a difference in your life.“

I’m the founder and creator of Well Within, Mind Body & Wealth. I specialize in creating restorative, emotionally attuned spaces for healing and growth. My practice blends therapeutic insight through self-exploration and supports emotional well-being, leading you to live your most authentic and autonomous life. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, identity shifts, and major life transitions. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by a deep desire to create spaces that feel emotionally restorative and supportive. After receiving support from personal and college mentors, I discovered a passion to help people. My work is a reflection of my commitment to my own emotional well-being and the well-being of others.

Hi, I’m Silvia Valdez, a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional dedicated to supporting women through the life-changing transition into motherhood.

Hi, I’m Maikel Echemendia, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving patients in Florida through both in-person and telehealth appointments. I specialize in helping adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, insomnia, panic symptoms, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, and life stressors.

I believe therapy works best when you feel seen, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to perform, have it all together, or carry everything on your own.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I’ve spent my career supporting children, parents, and families through some of life’s most challenging moments. My background includes working in the NICU, early childhood mental health, and supporting families navigating trauma, medical complexity, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.

I am especially passionate about working with women during pregnancy and postpartum, parents, caregivers, and individuals who have spent so much time caring for others that they’ve forgotten how to care for themselves.

I bring warmth, authenticity, and a little humor into sessions when appropriate. Therapy with me is a judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are.

Hi, I am Erin Elizabeth, I am a seasoned therapist who has been practicing in South Florida over 20 years . Have worked with adults, children, teens, young adults , families, couples, and seniors. I also work with substance abuse. I have helped people resolve their issues, set goals, and have a happier life. No problem is too big or too small. Everyone has their unique set of circumstances. I help people have hope and find joy again in life. We work together to improve brken relationships and let go of past resentments. My style is down to earth, yet professional. I am warm and clients feel safe with me. I give respect and positive regard to each individual I see.

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.
