With over 10 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I’ve supported individuals through some of the most challenging moments in their lives—including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance use.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can work through what’s going on and begin finding a path forward that feels realistic and manageable.
My background in healthcare settings has given me experience working with both mental health and medical challenges, allowing me to take a more holistic view of what you’re going through.
I’m Laura Seigel, a psychotherapist who believes therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can better understand yourself and create meaningful change. I work with clients navigating anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other challenges that can feel difficult to manage alone. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in meeting each client where they are. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in the way and develop practical tools to help you move forward.
Dr. Jennifer Prada-Moreno obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from St. Thomas University, where she attended on a full-ride scholarship for volleyball. She then went on to pursue her Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Trinity International University and graduated Cum Laude with honors. She is bilingual with English and Spanish.
She completed her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in crisis and trauma at Regent University while developing her dissertation on the impact of shame on trafficking survivors. Her clinical background has helped her fulfill multiple roles in the mental health and substance abuse field, including therapeutic and administrative/managerial work.
Her professional experience includes substance abuse treatment centers, domestic violence shelters, the Office of Refugee and Resettlement, Emergency Management from the Dept. of Homeland Security, day treatment programs, and the justice system.
Her expertise includes individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, marriage counseling, crisis interventions, trauma work, and various treatment modalities that allow her to help those seeking a life of sobriety.
She is dedicated to helping others overcome their addiction and obtain recovery one step at a time.
My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I want to walk alongside you and help to empower you. Together, we find hope.
I am dedicated to the mental health field and have been both a therapist and a clinical supervisor. My areas of knowledge include trauma, depression, grief, anxiety, adjustment disorder, substance abuse, ADHD, self-esteem issues, and life transition difficulties. I work with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to making high-quality mental health care accessible to everyone, especially individuals in underserved and rural communities. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, and through telehealth.
I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, or another mental health concern, we’ll work together to build a treatment plan that fits your life, not someone else’s.
I combine evidence-based medicine with a whole-person approach, recognizing that sleep, stress, relationships, physical health, and daily habits all play an important role in emotional well-being. My priority is helping you feel better while empowering you with the tools to thrive long after our appointments.
I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.
I'm Sherman Brown, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) serving adults across Florida through telehealth. I specialize in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, substance use, and men's mental health. As a clinical mental health therapist, I understand the particular weight that comes with seeking help and the cognitive distortions that may keep one from getting help --Catastrophizing: Seeing only the worst possible outcomes of a situation. My clients often come to me having tried everything else, or feeling like therapy 'isn't for them.' I aim to change that experience from the first session.
