Each life transition inevitably forces us to navigate "stormy waters." If the challenge has become overwhelming, reach out and give me a call at 423-342-6422.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with over nine years of

experience helping individuals navigate life’s emotional challenges. I have

supported clients through a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression,

stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. I

also have specialized experience working with mothers navigating postpartum

depression, anxiety, and the emotional adjustments that come with pregnancy

and early parenthood. My work includes providing therapy in homes,

community settings, and virtually—meeting clients where they feel most

supported.

I believe you are the expert of your own story, and your God-given

strengths—whether fully realized or still emerging—can guide your healing

journey. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empathy, faith, and

respect. Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I commend you

for choosing healing. You do not have to walk this road alone.

Hi, I’m a licensed clinician committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, while also providing clinical and forensic evaluation services. My goal is to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with a combined seven years of experience in the mental health field (including three years of clinical supervisory experience), where I have been providing care to clients in multiple agencies throughout the state of Florida, utilizing clinical models to improve patient care and drive positive clinical outcomes. I have worked with diverse client populations and multiple diagnoses (anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorders, etc.) throughout the years, including serving young children through older adults.

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience, I work with children, teens, adults, and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, stress, and life transitions. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and understood. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change so you can live a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I don't believe anyone's story is ever over. Life can leave us carrying burdens we never expected. Anxiety, depression, broken relationships, grief, trauma, addiction, or simply the weight of holding everything together can make it feel like peace is out of reach. But I believe that pain does not define you, and it does not get the final word. As a Christian counselor, it is my mission to help people find hope and strength in the middle of life's hardest moments. Healing doesn't pretend the past never happened, but it does mean that your wounds don't have to control your future. I utilize a mix of evidence based practices, which includes trauma informed care, that align with God's design to help you get as close as you can to the peace you were designed to live with.

I believe that effective mental health care starts with trust, respect, and open communication. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and experiences. I work with individuals facing a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and other psychiatric conditions. Together, we'll focus on understanding your unique experiences and developing a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values.

I am an LPC in Virginia and LMHC-S in Florida my background in practice consists of treating adolescents, families, children in at risk populations and treating adults with depression and anxiety. I take a holistic approach to counseling and meet the client where they are at. I include CBT and solution-focused techniques in order to assist clients dealing with a variety of issues. I also have a background in TF-CBT informed therapy and utilize this as needed.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're managing anxiety, ADHD, trauma, chronic health concerns, or the emotional weight of trying to keep everything together. You may feel exhausted, misunderstood, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or frustrated by challenges that affect your relationships, confidence, and daily life. I work with adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, chronic illness, physical health concerns, depression, bipolar disorder, stress management challenges, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by circumstances beyond their control and looking for practical tools that create meaningful change. Together, we'll build on your strengths, identify obstacles that may be keeping you stuck, and develop strategies that support healing, resilience, and long-term emotional wellness. My goal is to help you feel empowered, capable, and confident as you move forward.

Jami Rieffel, LMFT

Founder & Therapist, CoAuthored Therapy

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels like a story we write together. I bring a collaborative, narrative-based approach to working with individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to create a space where clients feel both supported and empowered to re-author the stories that shape their lives.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University, where I focused on systems theory and narrative practice. Over the years, I’ve worked with diverse populations supporting clients through challenges such as relationship transitions, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.

I’m Diera Woodard, LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Clients often describe my style as warm, honest, and empowering. I meet you where you are and walk with you as you develop the insight and tools needed to create lasting change. I believe that therapy should feel like a collaborative conversation — one that helps you understand your emotions, strengthen your coping skills, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.
