I have over 15 years of experience working in behavioral health helping adults, teens and families. I hold certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and crisis prevention.

As a dedicated and passionate therapist and life coach, my mission is to nurture and ignite the inherent potential within each of my client's.

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.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for something to change? You don’t have to figure it out alone. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges who want more clarity, balance, and confidence.

Therapy can be a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to move toward lasting change—at your own pace.

I’m Dr. Madeline Michel, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with nearly 20 years of nursing experience and more than 13 years of experience as a nurse practitioner. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at Florida Atlantic University and hold three board certifications as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, and Gerontological Nurse Practitioner through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of caring for individuals across the lifespan in a variety of clinical settings. My professional background includes psychiatry, substance use disorders, cognitive disorders, and neurology. I previously practiced as a neurology hospitalist nurse practitioner at several hospitals throughout South Florida and as a cognition-specialized Gerontological Nurse Practitioner at the Louis and Anne Green Memory Wellness Center, a state-designated Memory Disorder Clinic. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of the relationship between mental, cognitive, neurological, and physical health.

"Healing isn't about forgetting what happened to you. It's about no longer being ruled by it." My name is LaQuanda Wiggins, and that belief sits at the center of my work, especially with clients carrying the weight of trauma and PTSD. Over several years in nonprofits, correctional and detention settings, and private practice, I've worked alongside people who've survived some of life's hardest moments, and I've seen firsthand how much relief comes from finally being understood rather than judged. Alongside trauma and PTSD, I support clients through depression, anxiety, grief, panic disorders, family and relationship strain, chronic health conditions, and the stress of navigating cultural and ethnic identity. Whatever brought you here, I bring a warm, open-minded, and creative approach to help you move forward.

Hello Clients!

I am Shanorah!

I am a Master's Level Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) at Relearn Counseling in Florida. I have been a clinician for the last 5 years in community mental health settings supporting clients from diverse background managing their life stressors and diagnoses. I am specialized in life changes, anxiety, depression and grief/trauma.

I have been trained in CBT, CPT, LSR, TIR, and others.

I believe that effective mental health care starts with trust, respect, and open communication. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and experiences. I work with individuals facing a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and other psychiatric conditions. Together, we'll focus on understanding your unique experiences and developing a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values.

I’m Amanda, and I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a place where they can show up exactly as they are. I bring warmth, authenticity, and even a bit of humor into the room when it feels right. I want you to feel genuinely seen—not judged—and supported in whatever you’re working through.

I’ve been in the counseling field for over 15 years and hold a PhD in Counselor Education from the University of Tennessee. My experience ranges from private practice and telehealth to correctional mental health, hospitals, and leadership roles in community programs. A. Simms Resume copy

I work with adults experiencing mood challenges, anxiety, identity concerns, life transitions, and LGBTQIA+ experiences, as well as individuals who are justice-involved or adjusting to major life changes. My approach integrates CBT, ACT, and Reality Therapy, giving us room to explore both deeper patterns and practical skills.

Clients describe me as encouraging, steady, and real—someone who helps them feel grounded and capable while taking meaningful steps toward a more balanced and authentic life.
