I am a pilgrim in progress, a man of faith, a student of people, a mental health counselor, and an avid lover of stories. I am grateful to have a Bachelor of Science in Religion from Liberty University, and both a Master's of Divinity and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. Professionally, I have worked with individuals and families from a variety of backgrounds including: grief, trauma, gender and sexuality, addiction, faith and spirituality, anxiety, depression, and behavioral disorders (ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, etc.). I have served clients across a variety of ages, children to adults both in clinical settings and also in community (professional Christian ministry) settings.

Hi there, I'm Emmy! I'm an LMHC in Florida, and I have been working in the mental health field since 2017. I've worked in psychiatric hospitals, residential facilities, IOP/PHP programs, and now am doing private practice. My passion areas lie in breaking societal barriers and embracing ourselves radically. Clients and colleagues alike describe me as direct but compassionate, humorous, and knowledgeable.

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, confusing, and difficult to navigate alone, but they can also be an opportunity for meaningful change. I offer an integrative approach to address the root causes of what you’re experiencing. Treatment may include medications when helpful, while attention to sleep, nutrition, movement, and social connectedness helps strengthen long-term resilience and well-being. Using a therapeutic approach, we offer space to explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools for change. I am here to help you feel better, live meaningfully, and thrive.

Is it difficult to find meaning to your life's struggles? Would you like to feel peace, love and harmony in your life? I believe that everyone can reach their potential to overcome personal obstacles that inhibit them from expressing themselves. I help people reach a sense of peace, purpose, direction and well-being. I foster the belief that everyone has something to offer and in their most difficult times can lead us to those special gifts that are within every one of us.

For your convenience I offer Tele-Therapy from anywhere across the state of Florida and in-person sessions at 1502 N. Donnelly St. St. 110 Mt. Dora, FL. I work with adults using CBT, EMDR, and Person Centered approaches. I help clients with trauma abuse, anxiety/depression, coping skills, and grief/loss.

I am Jackie Small and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Cert. School Counselor, Cert. Mindfulness Instructor, and Cert. Life Coach with nearly 25 years of experience I love helping people learn, grow, heal, and discover their own inner strength. Experience in education has taught me a lot about people—and I believe there is something wonderfully unique and valuable inside every human being.

As a metaphysical counselor, I believe that healing is not simply about changing what is happening around us—it is also about becoming more aware of what is happening within us. My practice incorporates mindfulness, play therapy, self-awareness, intuition, and the understanding that each person has the capacity to create meaningful change in their life.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 26 years of nursing experience in various capacities, including psychiatric mental health and addiction medicine for the last 8 years. My passion is to walk alongside my patients on their mental health journey, helping them navigate challenges, cultivate lasting wellness, and restore balance for a meaningful and fulfilling life.
