Congratulations on your courageous decision to seek help! Self-awareness is the first step to change and I go above and beyond to help those like you who choose to actively help themselves. Understand that the path to self-discovery and growth is not easy. It involves commitment, personal investment, and a desire to delve into the process of growth, healing, and self-love.
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.
I’m Ashley Rhodes-Courter, LCSW-S, a trauma specialist, clinical supervisor, and founder of Sustainable Family Services with nearly 20 years of professional and lived experience supporting individuals and families impacted by trauma, attachment wounds, foster care and adoption, relationship challenges, burnout, and major life transitions.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California and advanced credentials in trauma and TeleMental Health, including Board Certified TeleMental Health (BC-TMH), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II (CCTP-II), Certified Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional (CATP), and Certified Family Trauma Professional (CFTP).
Outside of clinical practice, I am a New York Times and International bestselling author of Three Little Words and Three More Words and an award-winning keynote speaker and child welfare advocate. My work has taken me around the world speaking about trauma, resilience, child welfare, and strengthening families.
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.
If you're navigating a major life transition, processing trauma, or carrying the weight of military service, you don't have to do it alone. I'm a therapist based in Central Florida with over 30 years in the behavioral health field, and I specialize in helping people find their footing again — whether that's adjusting to a new season of life, healing from a difficult experience, or working through the complexities of relationships. I have a particular passion for working with older adults, and I also provide military resilience support for veterans and service members.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and retired nurse with more than 25 years of experience in healthcare, social work, and behavioral health. Born in Texas and raised in Brazil and Chile, I’ve spent much of my life moving between cultures. I provide therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and bring that multicultural perspective into my work.
I work with adults navigating anxiety and overthinking, depression, relationship difficulties, narcissism, grief and loss, caregiver stress, aging, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I also provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and help who want to create a meaningful life on their own terms and figure out what you want the next chapter of their life to look like.
I have a particular interest in helping people who have spent years being the dependable one—the partner, parent, caregiver, professional, or person everyone else turns to—and are beginning to ask, “What about me?”
Are you tired of what feels like the "same old" therapy?
My approach to create a space with my clients to have a more personally tailored approach utilizing a wellness approach!
Thriving instead of just surviving.
I am a strong believer in meeting those I serve where they are.
Whether you are experiencing loss, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, a life transition, stress or need a sounding board, I am here to be a support!
You don't need to have it all figured out to reach out. If anxiety, trauma, family conflict, grief, or the weight of ADHD or depression has been running your days, you deserve a space that's judgment-free and genuinely yours. I'm Brittany, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over a decade of experience helping teens, adults, and families find steadier ground. Clients often tell me our sessions feel less like an appointment and more like finally being heard.
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.
Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate life's challenges. I graduated from UCF and have called Florida home for the past 24 years. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment. While I work with clients facing a variety of concerns and come from all walks of life, I especially enjoy working with women who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-worth, and relationship challenges. I love helping clients gain insight, find their voice, and make meaningful changes that help them feel more confident and fulfilled.
