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.

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in social work and therapy, and that experience has shaped how I think about mental health care. I’ve learned that what someone is experiencing is rarely just one thing. Our relationships, environment, past experiences, biology, and daily stressors can all play a role. I became a PMHNP-BC because I wanted to bring medication management into the same thoughtful, whole-person care I had been providing throughout my career.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience supporting individuals through a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, family issues, and chronic health conditions. My background in community mental health has given me the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and with a wide range of experiences. I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself and know that you’re truly heard.

Erica Graduated from Walden University, specializing in Psychiatry. She has over 10 years of nursing experience mostly in the field of psychiatry. Mental health has been her passion for several year. She wants to help eliminate the negative stigma associated with mental health.

Clients should know that I am non-judgmental, client centered, empathetic, and will work within their belief systems. I look to empower clients so they can live their best lives. I have a lot of experience working with co-occurring disorders, relationship issues, and substance use disorders/addictions of all types.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and an EMDR Certified Therapist. I also hold CBTI-C certification through the Board of Behavioral Sleep Medicine and have advanced CBT-I training, including a competency-based program through Stanford University’s Sleep and Health Insomnia Program.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, insomnia, perfectionism, rumination, trauma-related distress, life transitions, workplace stress, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are responsible, thoughtful, high-functioning adults who hold everything together for others but privately feel depleted, anxious, stuck in their heads, or disconnected from their own needs.

My work is structured, practical, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based care. I help clients better understand their patterns, build skills, and create changes that can continue beyond therapy.

I am fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I work with adults from diverse cultural backgrounds, including clients navigating cultural adjustment, identity, belonging, relocation, and cross-cultural stress.

I’m Dr. Madeline Michel, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with nearly 20 years of nursing experience and more than 13 years of experience as a nurse practitioner. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at Florida Atlantic University and hold three board certifications as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, and Gerontological Nurse Practitioner through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of caring for individuals across the lifespan in a variety of clinical settings. My professional background includes psychiatry, substance use disorders, cognitive disorders, and neurology. I previously practiced as a neurology hospitalist nurse practitioner at several hospitals throughout South Florida and as a cognition-specialized Gerontological Nurse Practitioner at the Louis and Anne Green Memory Wellness Center, a state-designated Memory Disorder Clinic. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of the relationship between mental, cognitive, neurological, and physical health.
