Hello, I’m Veronica Powers, founder and lead therapist at CAVU Counseling. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida and certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, a CACREP-accredited program.

I am certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and hold the Equine-Assisted Mental Health Practitioner (EAMHP) certification from the University of Denver. I provide virtual and in-person individual psychotherapy as well as equine-integrated psychotherapy at our Keystone Heights location offering a unique experiential environment that supports emotional growth, self-regulation, and connection.

I work with individuals of all ages, addressing concerns such as trauma, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and complex family dynamics. My professional background also includes hands-on experience with Applied Behavioral Analysis which has strengthened my understanding of behavioral interventions and child development.

My approach is trauma-informed, integrative, and rooted in resilience, focusing on helping clients build insight, self-efficacy, and meaningful change through evidence-based and experiential methods.

Hi there! I am a latinx therapist. I have struggled greatly to find my place in a world that often feels I don't belong in. However, nothing makes me more proud than being me. My work as a therapist has been guided by fierce passion and compassion. I strongly believe we all have a place in the world, and that we not only fit, but we benefit it with our presence.

My roots are my power and my mistakes are my guide. I support all types of LOVE, all types of CULTURES, all types of GENDER EXPRESSION.

My journey of self-discovery has led me here and now. As most people do, we have hopes, dreams, and plans for our lives and aim for fulfillment. We do not always anticipate some of the obstacles that suddenly require a helping hand, a steppingstone, or a bridge. If you are currently experiencing any such challenge in your life, please reach out for help and support. I can provide counseling for individuals and the entire family. If you or your family is being impacted by addiction, relationship challenges, daily life stressors and disruptions and mental health concerns including depression and anxiety, your time might be now to receive some help.

I am skillful in helping families target the core issues that they are working through, whether driven by addiction or underlying mental health or dynamic factors. I employ strength based, cognitive behavioral techniques and a range of other modalities to achieve outlined goals. My role would be to listen, support, guide and to be transparent at all times.

Fear often holds us back from making a change or accepting help. Facing my fears has carved this amazing opportunity for me to help you. My years in the field has deepened my compassion for helping others of different cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. I am inspired by those I helped on their journey and would love to do the same for you.

This is a telehealth practice. As a personal choice, the use of narcotics or other controlled (DEA) meds are minimal, if any. I've been a psych nurse practitioner for at least 14yrs. I believe in managing conditions with psychiatric and non-psychiatric treatment modalities that are evidence based. The use of the least amount of meds, at lower doses that does the healing of symptoms, is an active process involving the client and based on the reported experiences. Safety is the core of my practice and my job is to help clients understand internal signals and how to prevent another crisis.

My name is Minerva M. King, LCSW, and I am a Survivor. I graduated honors with my master’s degree from Florida Atlantic University. I specialize in therapies which include Rapid Trauma Resolution/ Hypnosis, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Certified Sex Offender Treatment and EMDR among others.

I am Qualified to provide Clinical Supervision to the next generation of Social Workers; securing competency, knowledge and skill in the practice.

I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida since 2010. I provide counseling support to children, couples, and families and offer a warm, empathetic approach to improve self esteem, mood, and relationships.

My personal journey was not one I would choose. My first husband was diagnosed with cancer in September 2004 and died in February 2006. The experience of spousal caregiving and young widowhood, and 10 years as a federal Special Agent eventually led me to change careers to become a counselor.

I love helping individuals and couples build meaning, self-acceptance, and self-worth despite grief, trauma, shame, and problematic behavior and relationship patterns.
