Aurelio received his Graduate Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Central Florida in Orlando. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Qualified Supervisor for the State of Florida, and Internationally Certified Interventionist.
“My counseling style has developed over time to become one that does not spend time dredging up the past or spending time talking about the past session after session. This approach focuses on finding solutions for today and the future and keeps you on your new path while discouraging looking back because you are not going that way”.
I’ve spent much of my life on and around the water, which has taught me that both the ocean and life can shift quickly from calm to unpredictable. Those experiences shape my approach to therapy: learning not to fight the current, but to move through it with awareness and resilience. I offer a grounded and compassionate space where you can slow down, reflect, and explore the parts of life that feel heavy or stuck, while feeling both supported and gently challenged. Our work together is collaborative and rooted in curiosity, honesty, and deep respect for your story. Alongside my clinical training and two master’s degrees, my years living and working throughout Southeast Asia have given me experience supporting people from diverse cultural, spiritual, and relational backgrounds.
I’m Jennifer Haynes, LMHC, Founder and Clinical Director of Fr33 Mind LLC. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, emotional wellness, and helping clients better understand the patterns that shape how they think, feel, relate, and respond to life.
I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, family dynamics, and periods of feeling disconnected from themselves. My training includes trauma treatment, DBT-informed care, grief counseling, suicide assessment and management, parent training, neuropsychotherapy, mental health and nutrition, and personality disorder treatment. I am also a Florida Qualified Supervisor and am currently completing certification in Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga, anticipated in March 2027.
What I want clients to know most is that therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and individualized. I value warmth and compassion, but I also believe meaningful therapy includes reflection, accountability, skill-building, and learning how to make choices that better align with the life you want.
My work is increasingly focused on the connection between mind and body. Healing is not only about understanding what happened; it can also involve reconnecting with yourself, recognizing how stress shows up in your body, strengthening emotional awareness, and developing a greater sense of safety, agency, and choice.

Elizabeth Lerner received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Speech Communications and Sociology from the University of Miami in 1993 and earned her Master’s Degree in Social Work from Florida International University in 1995.

True healing isn't just about managing symptoms — it's about addressing the whole person.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes that lasting stability and happiness require working on three levels: your physical experience, your emotional patterns, and your spiritual wellbeing. When all three are addressed together, real change becomes possible.
I work with clients to identify what's getting in the way of the life they want — and build the tools, insight, and coping strategies to actually get there.
Above all, I want my clients to know that my priority is to create a space where they feel safe being fully and authentically themselves. As a gay man, I understand the importance of having spaces where identity does not need to be explained, defended, or minimized, and I hope to create that sense of safety for each of my clients. I welcome LGBTQ+ adults and young adults, and I offer affirming therapy where who you are is the starting point, not something you have to justify.
Professionally, I am a Miami-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering telehealth therapy to clients across Florida. I completed my Bachelor of Social Work in Indianapolis and my Master of Social Work in Miami. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with people navigating some of life's most difficult moments.
My experience includes providing therapeutic services within a homeless shelter's substance use treatment program, as well as working in an inpatient hospital setting. I have supported individuals through addiction and substance use recovery, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, medical crises, and major life transitions. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), harm reduction, solution-focused brief therapy, and positive psychology, and I tailor my approach to what actually fits your life and goals. I am no stranger to difficult conversations, and I want my clients to know that no thought or feeling is unwelcome in our therapeutic space.
Every individual, regardless of background, identity, or lived experience, is welcome in my practice. Whether you are working through recovery, grieving a loss, managing anxiety or depression, or facing a major life change, I would be glad to support you.
I look forward to meeting you!
I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel heard, respected, and supported. I work primarily with adults and specialize in health psychology, using a biopsychosocial perspective to understand the connection between physical health, emotions, and overall lifestyle. I specialize in supporting adults navigating Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, Sleep disorder, and Stress management. I provide compassionate, patient-centered care in a collaborative and nonjudgmental environment where clients can build resilience and create meaningful, lasting change.
Susan Goodwin is a highly qualified and experienced therapist holding licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). With a passion for helping individuals overcome mental health and substance use challenges, Susan brings a wealth of expertise to her practice.
You don't have to have it all figured out to start. There is no right or wrong place to begin.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I'm also a Certified School Counselor — which means I've spent decades not just in therapy offices, but inside schools, alongside kids and families navigating the real, daily pressures of growing up, parenting, and finding your way.
That breadth of experience shapes everything about how I work. I understand what it looks like when anxiety shows up in a classroom, when ADHD affects a family's daily life, or when an eating disorder hides behind achievement. And I know how to create a space where children, teens, and adults alike feel safe enough to actually open up.
You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, changes in mood, difficulty focusing, poor sleep, or simply feeling unlike yourself lately. Maybe you’ve tried treatment before and still have questions, or you’re considering psychiatric care for the first time and aren’t sure where to begin. At Harborline Psychiatry, we work with adults who want to better understand what they’re experiencing and take an active role in their care. We start by slowing things down, looking at the whole picture, and building a treatment plan that makes sense for you.
I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for patients throughout Florida. My approach is thoughtful and collaborative: we’ll consider your symptoms, history, concerns, and goals before deciding what treatment should look like. When medication is appropriate, I’ll explain the options and reasoning so we can make those decisions together.
Reaching out for psychiatric care can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve felt unheard or uncertain about treatment in the past. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we meet. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, collaborative approach to your mental health, I’d be glad to help you find a steadier way forward.
Taking the step to seek support isn’t easy, and I want to honor the courage it takes to be here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Life Coach, and retired Army veteran who believes caring for your mental health is essential to living a balanced, fulfilling life. I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves. I work with teens and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or major life transitions, and I strive to meet you with respect, compassion, and understanding.
