Virtual • Palm Beach Gardens, FL


True healing isn't just about managing symptoms — it's about addressing the whole person.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes that lasting stability and happiness require working on three levels: your physical experience, your emotional patterns, and your spiritual wellbeing. When all three are addressed together, real change becomes possible.

I work with clients to identify what's getting in the way of the life they want — and build the tools, insight, and coping strategies to actually get there.

Nashat Ali

Nashat Ali

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I trained in medicine before I became a therapist, and it changed what I listen for. When a client tells me her chest tightens before every meeting, or that she can't stop thinking about a diagnosis, I take the physical side of that seriously.

I hold a PhD in health psychology and I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and Florida. My published research is on post-traumatic growth in women. Since 2020 I've also taught graduate counseling and psychology as an adjunct professor.

I see adults dealing with trauma and complex trauma, chronic illness, health anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. I work with women through perinatal and postpartum struggles and through fertility challenges. I also see adolescents.

I speak English, Hindi, Arabic, and Urdu. If you're dealing with immigration, acculturation, or family expectations that don't translate easily, you won't have to explain that context to me first.

Therapist

I work with teens, adults, and families who are facing addiction, mental health concerns, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, and barriers to personal growth. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or ready to make positive changes in their lives. You may be struggling with shame, guilt, anger, repetitive thoughts, poor sleep, concentration problems, or the effects of trauma that make it hard to feel calm, present, or in control. I also support family members who are trying to manage the impact of a loved one’s substance use while learning how to set healthier boundaries.

Welcome! I have over 25 years experience in helping individuals and couples improve relationships, anxiety, parenting struggles, narcissistic abuse, pain of infertility, and women’s issues.

Alvis Duncan

Alvis Duncan

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Gainesville, FL


Hi, I’m Alvis — a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Gainesville, FL.

Before counseling, I spent years in the health and fitness industry in New York City, helping clients who felt stuck or overmatched in their goals. I later trained in spiritual wellness at St. Andrew’s Church here in Gainesville. Both experiences taught me the same lesson: real growth means working with mind, body, and spirit together. It brings me immense joy to see my clients go from stuck to flourishing.

I work with adults, couples, families, adolescents, and college students.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, substance abuse, codependency, family and couples counseling, and life transitions.
