Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Ocala, FL


Hi! I am Dr. Jessica Turner-Evans, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional, and Qualified Supervisor.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, understood, and empowered. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop practical tools for navigating challenges, and create meaningful and sustainable changes in your life.

My graduate school experiences centered around mental health and school counseling. My undergraduate background is in psychology and with most recent post-doc experience from Harvard University, I have a unique perspective of focusing on the mind, body, spirit, and emotional well-being.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and major changes in their personal or professional lives. My clinical and professional work has also included a particular focus on maternal mental health, postpartum experiences, racial and cultural stressors, and overall emotional wellness.

Nicole Wildeman

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


People come to me when they've been carrying something for a long time: a substance they keep trying to quit, a relationship dynamic that won't change no matter how hard they try, or an anger that costs them more than it should. I'm Nicole, a Licensed Professional Counselor with seven years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families in Michigan, and I believe the right support can shift what feels impossible to change on your own.

I specialize in depression and anxiety, life changes, substance use and addiction counseling, marriage and family therapy, and anger management. I also support clients working through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions, working with adolescents through seniors across a wide range of challenges. My goal is to help you recognize your own strengths, build the tools you need, and feel more in control of where your life is going.

Dr. Genesis Ettienne

Dr. Genesis Ettienne

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


If you've found your way here, chances are you're carrying something heavy. Maybe anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that reshaped your world, the exhaustion of new motherhood, or a quiet sense that you've lost track of who you are. Whatever it is, I want you to know you don't have to hold it alone anymore.

I became a therapist because I believe every person's story matters, and because I've seen what happens when someone finally feels safe enough to tell theirs. That's the part of this work I love most: watching people move from stuck and overwhelmed to grounded and free. I bring warmth and empathy to every session, but I'll also be honest with you. My clients often tell me they feel truly heard for the first time, and that's exactly what I'm hoping to give you.

I especially love working with people navigating identity, maternal mental health, grief and loss, cultural and ethnic experiences, and anxiety. I bring a culturally sensitive lens to all of it, because your background, your faith, and your family are part of your story too — not something to leave at the door.
