Welcome. I provide virtual therapy to adults 18 and up in both Washington state and Florida. In addition to seeing people for a wide range of concerns including mental health conditions like depression and anxiety, I have expertise in adjustment issues/life transitions, relationship concerns, grief and loss, coping with chronic health issues, and concerns related to aging.
Hi, my name is Richard Ehrhardt and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor in the state of Florida. I absolutely love what I do. I have a passion and drive to help others implement skills we will learn and get the results they desire. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including substance abuse/addictions, ADHD/HD, mens issues, anxiety/stress, relationship issues, and parenting concerns with children/teenagers.
Amy Penny is a passionate and dedicated therapist who believes that every person holds limitless potential and inner strength waiting to be discovered. Drawing from her own experiences of overcoming adversity and her clinical expertise, Amy creates a safe and supportive space where individuals feel empowered to connect with their inner resources and move toward growth and healing.
On the outside, you may look like you have everything together. You work hard, provide for your family, and carry responsibilities well. Yet internally, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, angry, or caught in the same patterns despite your best efforts to change. My practice is built for people who are ready to move beyond simply talking about their problems. Together, we’ll identify the underlying beliefs, emotional patterns, and coping strategies that keep you feeling stuck. Therapy becomes a place to develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and lasting change.
I’m Nicole Alvarez, LMHC, a Tampa therapist for couples, blended and traditional families, and individuals. I help busy partners and parents reduce conflict, rebuild connection, and gain practical tools for daily life. Evening and weekend telehealth across Florida; part‐time in‐office sessions in Tampa. Private‐pay welcome; superbills provided. Whether you’re an executive couple facing withdrawal, repeated conflict, and work–life spillover, or a blended family navigating loyalty, boundary, and logistical strain, you want discreet, time‐efficient, results‐focused therapy that fits your schedule.
Using Emotion‐Focused, systems, and skills‐based methods, I create evidence‐informed plans for executives, couples, blended and traditional families, and individuals. We set clear goals, improve communication and co‐parenting, and use brief between‐session practices. Same-week telehealth, evenings/weekends, part‐time Tampa office, packages and superbills.
