CJ Joerg

CJ Joerg

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Tampa, FL


CJ deeply believes that a person’s past does not define their future. With a potent blend of empathy and expertise, she is passionate about helping individuals uncover their innate resilience and capacity for healing. Her approach is rooted in the belief that even the most painful histories can be transformed into sources of strength.

Having grown up in foster care, CJ brings a lived understanding of adversity—not as her reason for becoming a therapist, but as a quiet source of strength that has shaped her superpower: the ability to sit with any form of trauma without judgment or shock. Her presence is steady, compassionate, and unshakable—able to hold space for stories that are often too heavy for others to carry.

Specializing in trauma-informed and somatic therapies, CJ supports individuals, couples, and families through experiences of PTSD, anxiety, and complex trauma. Her mission is to guide clients toward a life marked by grace, growth, and resilience.

Dr. Vimary Rodriguez

Psychologist

Virtual • Florida


Ever since I was a teenager I knew that one of my purpose in life was to help others. Also, I knew that one of my strengths is the capacity to connect with others.

Understanding the nature of our behaviors and the way we interpret life became a great challenge. I enrolled in Psychology School with a clear understanding of what I wanted professionally, but never imagined the profound and deep journey that I was about to begin.

Figuring out who you are, and where you fit, can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying anxiety, family stress, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Therapy can be a space where you don't have to have everything figured out.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families to create a supportive, affirming environment where people feel safe showing up exactly as they are. Many of the clients I work with are navigating anxiety, identity exploration, family conflict, relationship concerns, stress, or major life transitions. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that support confidence, resilience, and meaningful growth.

Gamaelle Lubin

Gamaelle Lubin

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hi, I'm Gamaelle Lubin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting children and adolescents. If you're a parent worried about your child — or a young person feeling overwhelmed — I'm here to help you feel heard, understood, and equipped with real tools to move forward.

For the past three years I've focused on the unique emotional and behavioral needs of youth, helping them navigate challenges and build lasting resilience. I work with children and teens facing anxiety, anger management, OCD, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and other behavioral concerns. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Florida International University, and I'm deeply committed to fostering growth, healing, and empowerment in the individuals and families I serve.

My approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — tailored to each client rather than one-size-fits-all.
