Hi, I’m Jackie, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in trauma and anxiety. I work with adults who feel stuck in survival mode—struggling with chronic anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and constant overwhelm.

I specialize in childhood trauma, relationship trauma, and first-generation stress, and I bring my Latina background into my work with clients who are navigating cultural expectations, family pressure, and the emotional weight of being “the strong one.”

Using EMDR and nervous-system-based, trauma-informed approaches, I help you move beyond just understanding your experiences to actually calming your nervous system—so you can feel more grounded, present, and safe in your body, not just more self-aware.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pittsburgh. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and the Unified Protocol (UP).

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 7 years of experience helping people feel more grounded, confident, and connected. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship stress, and self-doubt, and I often help clients understand how past relationship patterns may still be affecting them today. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, so we can meet in the language that feels most comfortable for you.

I’m Arasay Montero, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience working with adults facing anxiety, depression, insomnia, personality disorders, and other mental health challenges.

Carlos Todd, LCMHC, Ph.D. is an anger and conflict management specialist with 25 years of experience. He sees couples and individuals who struggle with relationship problems. Coming from a childhood home with domestic violence, he knows the journey from hurt to healing and the struggles to overcome anxiety and depression. He looks forward to being an ally in your healing journey.

I truly enjoy helping people achieve their goals for emotional well-being. Whether you are experiencing anxiety or depression, or simply struggling with motivation, I would love to help you on your journey! I have 20+ years experience working as a therapist. I am a graduate of Northern Michigan University and University of Michigan. My professional internships were completed at Marquette General Hospital Adult Inpatient Psychiatric Ward and at the University of Toledo Student Counseling Center. Following graduate school, I worked as a counselor for foster and adopted children. I also worked as a K- 8th grade school counselor. In 2002, I joined the United States Air Force, where I spent 8 years working to improve the mental health of military members and their families. While deployed, I operated a combat stress clinic and responded to emergent mental health needs of soldiers, sailors and airmen. After separating from the USAF, I have continued working as a therapist, serving adults from various backgrounds. I embrace diversity, and welcome all people!

Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout Florida, Ohio, and Indiana, offering a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship challenges, trauma, eating disorders, chronic pain, infertility or IVF, and major life transitions. Together, we’ll better understand what’s keeping you stuck, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and help you move forward with greater confidence.

I have a special interest in supporting adults living with chronic pain, chronic illness, infertility, IVF, and other medical conditions that impact mental health. These experiences can affect every part of life—including relationships, identity, self-esteem, work, and daily functioning. You deserve a space where those challenges are understood and where you don’t have to carry them alone.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation where you feel comfortable being yourself while also feeling supported and challenged to grow.

I earned my B.A. in Psychology and my M.Ed. in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from Florida Atlantic University. With more than 11 years of experience helping adults, my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to support you.
