With over forty-five years of experience, I have worked with a wide range of people, from young adults navigating early adulthood to older individuals managing major transitions. I support clients with relationship issues, affective disorders, addiction, work-life balance, vocational challenges, and complex problems that come with being human. My continuing education across these areas gives me knowledge, while my outgoing, active, and engaging style brings enthusiasm to every session. I show up fully, and I expect us to do real work together.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida and currently accepting new clients. I hold a Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work, with 10 years of experience across law enforcement, community agencies, education, substance recovery, and a military installation. I support clients with stress management, emotional and anger regulation, communication and relationship concerns, life transitions, and everyday stressors. I offer a compassionate, welcoming space to begin meaningful change.

Welcome! I'm Juliet Araujo, LCSW, BCBA who is passionate about helping people overcome life's challenges and build meaningful, lasting change. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, trauma, self-esteem issues, and parenting challenges. I also have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism and ADHD, helping them build emotional regulation, confidence, healthy relationships, and greater independence.

In addition to my clinical work, I am frequently invited to appear on national television to provide expert guidance on mental health, parenting, and emotional well-being.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish and enjoy working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Growing up in the Bronx as a first-generation Dominican American shaped how I think about mental health — and who I became as a therapist.

I'm Yesenia Aponte, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist. I've spent 8 years working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and the specific weight of living between cultures. I work with clients from all backgrounds, but I have a particular connection to clients from immigrant families, Latinx communities, and anyone who's ever felt like a therapist didn't fully understand their world.

I got into this work because mental health support wasn't always visible or accessible in communities like the one I grew up in. Beyond my practice, I'm involved in community outreach and advocacy to make mental health less stigmatized and more reachable — especially for people who've been told it's not "for them."

I also offer therapy in both English and Spanish.

Hi! I'm A'layah Matamoros, PMHNP-BC, founder of Mariposa Integrative Psychiatry.

I’m someone who values honesty, communication, and creating meaningful relationships.

I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds and helping them feel confident throughout the process. My goal is always to make clients feel heard, supported, and satisfied with the results.

Many of my patients come to me feeling overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, frustrated, or stuck. Whether you're struggling with focus and organization, generalized or social anxiety, intrusive thoughts, low mood, burnout, sleep difficulties, or the challenges that come with major life changes, I'm here to provide a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

I provide psychiatric diagnostic evaluations, supportive treatment, and medication management for adults throughout Florida via telehealth. My areas of focus include women's mental health, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, sleep concerns, life transitions, stress management, and healthcare burnout. I also provide an eight session ADHD skills therapy program that helps with planning, organization skills, and understanding executive dysfunction.

I believe the best care happens when you feel comfortable, involved, and supported throughout your treatment journey. Together, we'll work to better understand your concerns, identify your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and your life.

If you've found your way here, chances are you're carrying something heavy. Maybe anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that reshaped your world, the exhaustion of new motherhood, or a quiet sense that you've lost track of who you are. Whatever it is, I want you to know you don't have to hold it alone anymore.

I became a therapist because I believe every person's story matters, and because I've seen what happens when someone finally feels safe enough to tell theirs. That's the part of this work I love most: watching people move from stuck and overwhelmed to grounded and free. I bring warmth and empathy to every session, but I'll also be honest with you. My clients often tell me they feel truly heard for the first time, and that's exactly what I'm hoping to give you.

I especially love working with people navigating identity, maternal mental health, grief and loss, cultural and ethnic experiences, and anxiety. I bring a culturally sensitive lens to all of it, because your background, your faith, and your family are part of your story too — not something to leave at the door.

I believe that effective mental health care starts with trust, respect, and open communication. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and experiences. I work with individuals facing a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and other psychiatric conditions. Together, we'll focus on understanding your unique experiences and developing a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with a master’s degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. For five years, I have supported people in outpatient and inpatient addiction settings, hospitals, needle exchanges, and those living with severe and persistent mental illness. Today, I primarily help adults ages 18 to 45 navigate anxiety through individualized, one-on-one therapy. I bring compassion, curiosity, and experience to every session.
