Therapy with me is very human and genuine. I don’t just focus on what’s painful or stuck but help to highlight the ways in which my clients overcome life's punches. While I take this work seriously, I believe laughter can be healing and disarming in therapy.

I earned my Master’s degree in Counselor Education from Florida International University and have worked in a variety of settings, including the foster care system, residential treatment, and community mental health. My background includes supporting individuals navigating trauma, persistent mental health conditions, substance use, eating disorders, and major life transitions. I’ve also worked with veterans, individuals who are unhoused, and LGBTQIA2S+ clients.

In my practice, I work with clients experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also support clients with PTSD, some OCD presentations, and concerns related to gender, sexuality, and queer identity. My work is trauma-informed, affirming, and rooted in helping clients feel both emotionally safe and genuinely understood.

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.

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hi, I’m Chiedza aka Chi Chi, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and families navigating life’s transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, self-esteem, and emotional overwhelm. I earned my Master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University and believe that healing happens when people feel safe enough to be seen, understood, and challenged with compassion.

My work is rooted in the understanding that we don’t exist in isolation—our relationships, experiences, and environments all influence how we think, feel, and connect with others. Whether you’re struggling with communication, navigating a major life change, or trying to better understand yourself, I’m here to help you move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned with your values.

I strive to create a space where clients feel accepted without judgment while also feeling empowered to grow. My goal isn’t to tell you who to be—it’s to help you discover who you already are beneath expectations, fear, and old patterns.

Karina Astigarrabia Ferraz

Karina Astigarrabia Ferraz

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Florida


I'm Karina Astigarrabia Ferraz, PMHNP-BC — a Board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner practicing in Florida. Before specializing in psychiatry, I spent years as a Board certified nurse in cardiac intensive care, an experience that deepened my understanding of how the mind and body are inseparable. That background shapes the way I practice: I see mental health as rooted in biology, physiology, and lived experience — not just symptoms to be managed. I believe therapy is one of the most powerful and underutilized tools in mental health care. My work centers on evidence-based approaches — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Interpersonal Therapy — integrated with a positive psychiatry framework that focuses on your strengths, resilience, and capacity to heal. When medication is appropriate, I incorporate it thoughtfully as part of a broader, individualized plan. Clients often describe me as warm, unhurried, and genuinely curious about their lives. I collaborate with Brain X Dynamics as an independent clinician, sharing a commitment to whole-person, holistic care — including attention to brain metabolism and the biological foundations of emotional well-being.

I am currently on maternity leave until mid-July. If you think we would be a good fit I can either add you to my waitlist or set you up with one of the clinicians that works for me (who are very similar to me). You can check out more information on my website www.wildlyauthenticcounseling.com

Do you feel like you have lost your spark and vibrancy? Do you struggle with the expectations of who you should be, never feeling like you are enough? Do you numb your feelings and ignore your hearts desires for comfort, stability, acceptance, and normalcy? That used to be me too! With my own ADHD and Trauma, life has not always been easy. I want to help you overcome the things that are weighing you down and help you actualize your most authentic life.

Rosaly Del Valle

Rosaly Del Valle

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hello & Welcome! My name is Rosaly Del Valle and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I see therapy as a space to pause, reflect, and process life’s challenges. I am here to help you navigate through it all. I am committed to providing an environment where clients can explore challenges, build on their strengths, and work toward becoming the best version of themselves.

Outside of the therapy office, I proudly embrace my “grandma at heart” personality. I find joy in embroidering, baking, antiquing/thrifting, working on a new craft project, or hosting a dinner party. I believe there is something powerful about slowing down and finding comfort in life's simple pleasures. Those same beliefs guide my work as a therapist. I aim to provide a warm and supportive environment for healing, self-discovery, and growth. Helping others navigate their unique journeys is deeply rewarding, and I am honored to be part of the process.
