Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or emotionally exhausted? I help adults manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and ADHD through structured, supportive online therapy. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals who feel pressure to “hold it together” while struggling internally.
I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 13 years of experience. I provide online therapy and am in-network with major insurance plans to make care accessible and practical.
The strength and courage it takes to be able to share our experiences is a beautiful and sacred part of being human. My passion is to help individuals express, embrace, and empower their whole selves. Through trauma work, we have the opportunity to break free from shame, guilt, fear, and struggle. This helps us reclaim our power and build resilience. This doesn't justify the pain or trauma, but I wholeheartedly believe that the root of our pain is also the source of where our healing begins.
My approach is direct and encouraging. As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), and Certified Mental Health Nutrition Specialist (CMHNS), I am devoted to therapy that explores how trauma shapes the nervous system and influences our mindset, beliefs, and emotional responses. Through continued education in neuroscience and integrative health, I can help you understand the elements of the mind, body, and self. This way, we learn about the unique makeup of your whole self and how these elements manifest in your life. With nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field, I have supported individuals navigating complex trauma, including:
- chronic stress, insomnia, and health concerns
- Neurodiversity including head injuries, TBI, ADHD, ADD, and ASD
- burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and work-life balance
- emotional, physical, and sexual abuse
- codependency and attachment trauma
- religious, cultural, and generational trauma
- grief, loss, and bereavement
I specialize in helping couples and adults navigate relationship challenges, cultural differences, and major life transitions. My work is especially focused on couples who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to rebuild trust and emotional closeness. As a Level 3 Gottman Method-trained therapist, I help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a stronger relationship. I also support individuals balancing career, family, cultural adjustment, and the demands of a new chapter.
I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals find balance, healing, and hope. I provide medication management and supportive therapy for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and life stressors. My goal is to create a compassionate and judgment-free space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to take control of your mental health.
My name is Jazmine. I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). My passion is helping people take charge of their mental health and overall well-being. Life can be challenging, and whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, trauma, or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
I believe in a holistic, patient-centered approach to care—one that prioritizes your unique experiences, goals, and strengths. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take positive steps toward healing. Mental health care shouldn’t be intimidating or one-size-fits-all, so I work with you to find the best strategies and treatments tailored to your needs.
Building a strong, trusting partnership with my patients is at the heart of my practice. I know that small steps can lead to big transformations, and I’m committed to walking alongside you on your journey to better mental health.
I look forward to working with you and helping you build the tools and confidence to live a healthier, more balanced life!
I am an LCSW with 5+ years of experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and women's issues. I work with adults across the lifespan, including those managing ADD/ADHD, family conflict, and identity transitions. My approach centers on creating insight, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and building the practical skills you need to live the life you choose. I earned my MSW from Florida State University and have experience working with youth, adults, and families in outpatient and community mental health settings. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a genuine investment in your growth to every session.
With over 15 years of experience, I have helped countless individuals navigate the challenges they face and find peace within themselves. Together, we can work towards culminating a healthier and more fulfilling future.
When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my dogs, hiking with friends, cooking, and making flower arrangements. I also enjoy spending time doing artsy activities or attending local events.
I am passionate about helping others along their journey to achieve healing, growth, and balance. I know firsthand that life can often take us down unexpected roads that might feel extremely scary, intense, and at other times, exciting. I also know that there is infinite power and resilience that comes from seeking help, leaning in, and doing the work that helps us cope during the difficult times and feel grounded once again.
I'm Astrid, a dedicated nurse practitioner with over 18 years of healthcare experience, including over 7 years in mental health, presently welcoming clients in FLORIDA and COLORADO.
I believe everyone deserves care that respects their entire being and honors the uniqueness of their life story.
My mission is to create a supportive and healing environment where mental health is approached holistically in a safe and judgment-free environment.
I am deeply committed to supporting individuals, especially women across the lifespan, from puberty and postpartum to perimenopause and beyond, as they navigate challenges, reclaim their power, and thrive.
Hi, I’m Samantha. I'm a LMHC based in Florida with over a decade of experience helping individuals with anxiety, depression, work/life stressors, challenging relationships, and adjusting to major life transitions. I specialize in working with young adults, millennials, and pregnant/postpartum/burnt out moms. I aim to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be unapologetically you. In our sessions, we'll manage overwhelming stress, overcome unexpected changes, and dial down big emotions.
Hello and welcome to therapy. You are one step closer on your journey to achieving your goals, passions, and intentions. You and I will develop a therapeutic relationship as you work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and other areas that you would like growth in. You will utilize the strengths that you already have, and keep expanding on those. It is my job to create a safe, open, and person-centered environment. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey! Keep going and growing.
