- Hi, My name is Diane Kelley and I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I received my Bachelors of Social Work from Long Island University and my Master of Social work from New York University. I have worked in Mental Health Outpatient Clinics, Community Centers, Recovery programs and private practice dealing with a large variety of mental health issues, co-occurring and substance use issues.
I graduated with my Masters of Science degree with a major in Clinical Psychology from Barry University. My practical training began at Family Counseling Services of Greater Miami. I have also gained invaluable crisis care and intervention experience working with adults and adolescents at a Crisis Services Unit. My work at a private psychosocial rehabilitation organization allowed me to gain additional proficiency working with adolescents and adults with severe and persistent mental illness.
My name is Dr. Perpetua Ezeh-Aideyan, a Board-Certified Psychiatrist, and I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck. Some have tried therapy or medication before; others are reaching out for the first time. What they truly want is to feel like themselves again—to find peace, clarity, and stability. I’m here to offer compassionate, professional support and to walk alongside them on their path to healing and growth.
On the outside, you may look like you have everything together. You work hard, provide for your family, and carry responsibilities well. Yet internally, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, angry, or caught in the same patterns despite your best efforts to change. My practice is built for people who are ready to move beyond simply talking about their problems. Together, we’ll identify the underlying beliefs, emotional patterns, and coping strategies that keep you feeling stuck. Therapy becomes a place to develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and lasting change.
Life is about experiences and stories around those experiences. Some good, some unexpected, some "WTF." I get it. Being human comes with a lot and that includes challenges that might rock you to your core. However, if you're ready to widen your perspective on Who You Are and Can Choose to Be, then, It's time to tap into the More of You! I'll support you as expand your narrative and choices. Crying, laughing, cursing and venting is included. Spanglish is also offered.
My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I believe in treating the whole person — not just symptoms. Every patient receives individualized care tailored to their personal goals, medical history, and life circumstances.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a passion for promoting both physical and mental wellness.
With over a decade of experience in mental health care, I specialize in working with clients who carry complex trauma narratives. I hold a professional certification in Trauma & Resilience.
I received a Bachelor of Social Work in 2008 and a Master of Science in Psychology with a major in Mental Health Counseling in 2013.
I am an experienced psychotherapist in private practice for 15 years. I provide couples, family and individual therapy. As a couples therapist, I see couples that have destructive unhealthy and ineffective commuication patterns. Their inability to communicate effectively will lead to further deterioration with unresolved conflicts in their relationship, I also work with individual's who experience Anxiety, and depression. Sometimes, we just don't know why you feel sad, depressed or out of sorts

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Searching for therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with knowing what kind of support you want. A therapist may help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare Fort Lauderdale therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Their bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect in a session.
Fort Lauderdale has a broad mental health care community, with options across neighborhoods like Victoria Park, Las Olas, and nearby areas in Broward County. Your search may include in-person appointments near home or work, virtual sessions that fit your schedule, or a mix of both. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that work for you, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and decide who may be a strong fit.
Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care more affordable.
