Florida Therapist for High-Achieving Adults: ADHD, Burnout & Trauma Recovery I'm Michael Blake Edwards, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida, working with driven adults — executives, entrepreneurs, first responders, and veterans — who look like they have it together from the outside but feel scattered, on edge, or disconnected on the inside. If you've built the career, stayed disciplined, and kept pushing, and something still feels off, that's not a character flaw. It's usually a sign your mind and body are asking for something you haven't addressed yet.
