Therapist

I’m the founder and creator of Well Within, Mind Body & Wealth. I specialize in creating restorative, emotionally attuned spaces for healing and growth. My practice blends therapeutic insight through self-exploration and supports emotional well-being, leading you to live your most authentic and autonomous life. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, identity shifts, and major life transitions. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by a deep desire to create spaces that feel emotionally restorative and supportive. After receiving support from personal and college mentors, I discovered a passion to help people. My work is a reflection of my commitment to my own emotional well-being and the well-being of others.

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hello, and I’m glad you’re here. Whether this is your first experience with therapy or you’ve been in therapy before, reaching out can be a big step. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about what’s going on.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years of experience providing therapy and leading clinical teams. My background includes community mental health, residential mental health and substance use treatment, and crisis services. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with adults, children, adolescents, and families navigating a wide range of concerns and life experiences.

I have advanced training and experience supporting people with trauma, anxiety and depression, substance use, grief and loss, and the unique challenges faced by children and adolescents. I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to you—not a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we’ll identify what you want to work on, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move toward the life you want.

Jami Rieffel, LMFT

Founder & Therapist, CoAuthored Therapy

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels like a story we write together. I bring a collaborative, narrative-based approach to working with individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to create a space where clients feel both supported and empowered to re-author the stories that shape their lives.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University, where I focused on systems theory and narrative practice. Over the years, I’ve worked with diverse populations supporting clients through challenges such as relationship transitions, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.
