If you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, stress, or men’s emotional health, I’m here to help you get grounded, clear, and moving forward. I offer telehealth across Florida and in person sessions in Pace Fl (32571) and I’m currently accepting new clients.
I bring a unique perspective to therapy after spending 18 years as a law enforcement officer, working in high‐stress environments and walking with people through the hardest moments of their lives. Today, I use that experience—along with my formal clinical training—to support adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by life.
I have a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville University. I’ve been at Wekiva Springs Center since 2022, and have experience with patients all over the spectrum from mood disorders, to substance abuse disorders, anxiety, PTSD, and psychotic disorders.
You deserve a life that isn’t defined by guilt, anxiety, or the pressure to be everything for everyone.
Many of my clients are exhausted from being the responsible one. They're the problem-solver, the caretaker, the one who keeps it together. Everyone seems to need something from them, and somehow they're expected to handle it all without dropping a ball.
Meanwhile, they're battling anxiety, self-doubt, guilt, overthinking, relationship stress, or the feeling that they've lost touch with themselves somewhere along the way.
As a bilingual English and Spanish therapist, I work with people who are ready to stop running on autopilot and start understanding what's actually keeping them stuck. Therapy with me isn't about pretending everything is fine or endlessly talking in circles. It's about understanding yourself more deeply, learning new ways of responding to life's challenges, and creating meaningful change.
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.
I am a LCSW that is trauma informed. I have experience working with women that have had pregnancy complications, loss, and women that may be experiencing post partum depression. I work with parents on attachment and challenges that parenting may bring to the family.

I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and judgment-free. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, exhausted, anxious, discouraged, or unsure of how to move forward. My goal is to help you better understand what you are experiencing, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and build healthier tools to manage life with more confidence and stability.
I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as we work together toward meaningful change.
As a DNP-prepared, board-certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I firmly believe everyone has the right to quality mental health care.

I believe lasting change happens when you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you can grow at your own pace.
I want you to know that my role is to support you with compassion, respect, and evidence‐based care. I take the time to listen closely so I can understand what you’re experiencing and what matters most to you. My approach is collaborative—I believe treatment works best when we make decisions together. I’m here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and feel heard.

Hi, I'm Sara Buchanan, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida, and the owner of SSB Counseling Services, based in Jacksonville, Florida.

Whether you are navigating a major life transition, managing the weight of anxiety and depression, or simply feeling like you’ve lost your way, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 17 years of experience.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Port Saint Lucie, FL
Searching for therapists in Port Saint Lucie starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and work with people who have similar goals.
In a mid-sized city like Port Saint Lucie, you may find local in-person options near areas like Tradition, St. Lucie West, and downtown, along with virtual appointments from therapists licensed in Florida. The right fit often depends on practical details as much as clinical focus. Consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare approach, availability, and personal fit in one place.
Therapy in Port Saint Lucie can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept insurance, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you confirm coverage for your specific plan and schedule directly when you’re ready.
