I am a Masters-Level Clinician providing individual and couples counseling both in-person and via telehealth. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Eckerd College and my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I am a member of the Chi Sigma Iota Counseling Academic and Professional Honors Society, the American Counseling Association, and the American Mental Health Counselors Association.
My experience allows me to work with individuals seeking to improve their mental health. I am passionate about helping teens, young adults, and college students dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem issues, and trauma.
I work with individuals, children, and families, helping them rebuild life skills while addressing mental health challenges. I completed my Bachelor’s in Psychology at the University of South Florida and earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. I am bilingual in both English and Spanish, and I’ve worked extensively with Hispanic families, making me uniquely suited to address their specific needs.
My additional training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Integrative Harm Reduction Techniques, and I’m currently undergoing training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I grew up in central Florida and earned my Bachelor of Science in Family and Child Sciences from Florida State University, followed by a Master of Arts in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. During graduate school, I gained experience working in a treatment facility and with college students at USF, advocating for children’s educational needs while they balanced mental health treatment. This exposure led to my interest in behavior-focused therapy, particularly in using exposure techniques.
I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults dealing with obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, depression, Tourette's, and disordered eating.
I have a BS degree in Health Science from San Jose State University and an MSW degree from the University of Southern California. Yes, I’m originally from California. I’m a licensed clinical social worker in both California and Florida. I was first licensed in 2003. For the first ten years of my practice, I worked with children, adolescents, and families.
I have over eight years of experience supporting individuals whose mental health is affected by health and medical issues. Finally, I’m trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).
Many of my clients look like they have it together—but inside, they feel stuck, anxious, or emotionally overwhelmed in their relationships. I help adults untangle painful patterns rooted in emotional neglect, people-pleasing, or past relationships that felt confusing or unsafe. Together, we’ll slow down, go deep, and help you get to the root of the issue.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and founder of Roots Healing Alliance, where I help individuals and couples do deeper, meaningful healing work. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and relationship patterns, using a mix of insight-based and body-centered approaches. My style is warm, direct, and real.

Charolette Vozdecky
Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • New Port Richey, FL
I work with individuals and couples who are functioning on the outside but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected in their relationships. I especially enjoy working with men who want a straightforward approach, couples ready for real change, and women who tend to overfunction and feel exhausted by it.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Clearwater
Searching for therapists in Clearwater starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People often look for Clearwater therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or strength-based therapy.
In a smaller city like Clearwater, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near Clearwater, virtual appointments from home, evening or weekend availability, or a therapist who offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.
Therapy in Clearwater can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, add your insurance information, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. From there, you can compare therapists, choose someone who matches your needs, and book directly when you’re ready.
