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.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I passionately advocate for self-care and mental wellness while working collaboratively with clients to empower and build resilience and achieve mental health goals in a safe, empathetic space for healing and self-empowerment. I am prepared to assist individuals in coping and managing emotional, behavioral, and psychological challenges.

I specialize in anxiety and stress management for adults, teens, and children. I have experience working with individuals struggling with addictions and have discovered a love of helping people in this capacity. A resilient individual is able to withstand or recover quickly from challenging life events. Let me help you grow through what you go through.

I have 23 years of experience as an educator and understand students' daily stresses. Mistakes happen. It's what you do with them that matters. Let me provide the compassion and empathy you need to overcome life's struggles. I will listen genuinely without judgment and support you in overcoming trauma, adversity, tragedy, daily stress, and much more.

I'm a retired veteran, have been working as a social worker/therapist since 2004, and have been in private practice since 2017. I have extensive and successful experience helping people with trauma/PTSD, relationships, boundaries, emotions, domestic violence, sexual trauma, substance abuse, grief, parenting, and more.

I'm Rachel, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with four years of experience in the mental health field and a background in psychology and counseling. I specialize in neurodivergence and trauma, which means I spend a lot of my time with people who have spent years feeling like they were too much, not enough, or just hard to understand. If that resonates with you, I want you to know that this is a space where that changes.

If you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, stress, or men’s emotional health, I’m here to help you get grounded, clear, and moving forward. I offer telehealth across Florida and in person sessions in Pace Fl (32571) and I’m currently accepting new clients.

I bring a unique perspective to therapy after spending 18 years as a law enforcement officer, working in high‐stress environments and walking with people through the hardest moments of their lives. Today, I use that experience—along with my formal clinical training—to support adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by life.

With five years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds navigating grief, loss, life transitions, and emotional challenges. Whether you are coping with the death of a loved one, divorce, health concerns, or unexpected changes in life, I strive to provide a compassionate and supportive space for healing and growth.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and for over seven years I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they work toward personal growth and healing. Whether you’re facing grief, disappointment, or patterns that keep you feeling stuck, I’m here to help you find clarity and create a more balanced, satisfying life. My approach is collaborative and supportive-helping people uncover their strengths and make meaningful changes in their lives.

With over 10 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I’ve supported individuals through some of the most challenging moments in their lives—including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance use.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can work through what’s going on and begin finding a path forward that feels realistic and manageable.

My background in healthcare settings has given me experience working with both mental health and medical challenges, allowing me to take a more holistic view of what you’re going through.

Navigating a difficult relationship, struggling with a life transition, or just unsure how to proceed in making your life what you want it to be? I provide a supportive and totally non-judgmental environment for you to explore your options and figure out concrete ways to move forward.

Hi, I’m Jeanina. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor, a people-person at heart and someone who believes deeply in the power of hope, healing, and being truly seen.

As a Latina, I understand the importance of culture, family, identity, and the expectations we can carry while trying to find our own voice. I believe therapy should feel compassionate, approachable, and genuinely human. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and show up as your whole self—without having to have everything figured out.

I especially enjoy working with women and young adults navigating life transitions, identity, relationships, family expectations, self-worth, burnout, anxiety, and the pressure of becoming who you are while still figuring out who that is. Your 20s and 30s and even 40s can bring so many questions: Who am I? What do I really want? Am I on the right path? Why do I feel like everyone else has it together?

Many of the women and young adults I work with have spent so much time taking care of others, meeting expectations, being strong, or simply surviving that they have lost touch with themselves. Therapy can be a place to reconnect—with your values, your voice, your relationships, your identity, and the life you genuinely want to build.

You don’t have to have all the answers before coming to therapy. Sometimes, you just need a safe place to begin asking the right questions.

I’m here to help you slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and move toward a life that feels more like you.
