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.

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.

l have been practicing for over 20 years. Listening to my clients and helping them navigate this increasingly complex world is my starting point. In therapy, I meet you where you are to help you look inward to find yourself and your strength.

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.

Finding the right psychiatric provider is about more than credentials. You want someone who will listen, take your concerns seriously, and help you understand what is going on without making you feel rushed or judged.

I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 20 years of healthcare experience. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep concerns, stress, and life transitions. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish.

My approach is simple: I want to understand your story, not just your symptoms. I take time to explain your options, answer your questions, and include you in decisions about your care. One of the compliments I value most is, “You actually listened.” That is the kind of experience I want every patient and family to have.

Great to meet you! I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with six years of professional experience helping individuals navigate major life changes, transitions, and daily stressors. Seeking help takes immense courage, so congratulations on taking this first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life. My practice is rooted in absolute non-judgment with extensive experience helping clients process grief, chronic pain, isolation, aging, and mood or sleep disorders. I also offer specialized, inclusive care for the LGBTQ+ community, polyamorous relationships, and the BDSM/kink/alternative lifestyle culture. No matter who you are or what you are going through, you will find a safe, affirming space here.

Welcome, I'm Hannah! I am a licensed therapist based in Florida. I deeply enjoy working with clients of various identities and cultural backgrounds. Together, we can navigate things like identity development, relationships, emotional regulation, and all of the unique parts of yourself. I strive to help you find useful tools that promote empowerment and self-understanding. As your therapist, I welcome you as are and I am eager to support you in your wellness journey. If you are seeking therapy that prioritizes authenticity, curiosity, and new insights, then we may be a great fit.

I believe that meaningful change happens when people feel heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to provide a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where we can work together to address life’s challenges, build on your strengths, and help you move toward the life you want to live.

I earned my master’s degree from Columbia University and have completed post-graduate training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based practices. With more than 20 years of experience, I have worked in inpatient medical and psychiatric hospitals, outpatient community mental health, and telehealth settings, helping adults from their 20s through their 80s navigate depression, anxiety, ADHD, chronic illness, stress management, life transitions, relationship challenges, family stress, and caregiving.

My approach is practical, compassionate, and evidence-based, integrating CBT, mindfulness, positive psychology, and other proven strategies to help clients develop lasting skills for emotional well-being. I view therapy as a partnership and believe that each person is the expert on their own life. Together, we’ll identify meaningful goals, overcome obstacles, and celebrate progress along the way.

For clients who wish to incorporate faith or spirituality into therapy, I welcome those conversations with openness and respect. While my own background is rooted in the Catholic faith, I strive to honor each person’s unique beliefs, values, and life experiences.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my two boys and our two dogs on Florida’s Gulf Coast. You’ll often find me at the beach, swimming, paddle boarding, or relaxing with a good book. I believe that nurturing the relationships and activities that bring us joy is an important part of living a healthy, balanced life.

My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I want to walk alongside you and help to empower you. Together, we find hope.

I am dedicated to the mental health field and have been both a therapist and a clinical supervisor. My areas of knowledge include trauma, depression, grief, anxiety, adjustment disorder, substance abuse, ADHD, self-esteem issues, and life transition difficulties. I work with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families.
