“We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing”. -Charles Schaefer. Play is vital for children to express themselves and learn about their surroundings and general environment. In addition to exploration, it is essential for their development. Allowing the space for them to play freely generates the possibility of understanding their world and their motivation. Instead of the traditional format of communication, we often learn more about a child's thoughts, feelings, motivations, and struggles by watching them play.

Hi and welcome, let me share a bit of my philosophy with you… After several different career choices, true to the vocational model, at thirty-something I discovered the field of psychotherapy. I began my career in accounting, moving into the medical field, then the business world and found my true passion in the study of human behavior. I may be one of a few therapists with physics and organic chemistry as electives! I have three grown children and am Gaga to eight grandchildren and 0ne great grandchild (I have finally lived long enough to be great at something!).

My name is Isis and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida with over 8 years of experience. I have worked professionally as a counselor, school counselor, and motivational therapist. I have worked with clients to navigate a wide range of challenges including anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, parenting and family issues, depression, and women's issues. I believe in an integrative approach to therapy. I do not believe in a one size fits all approach. I like to meet people where they're at with techniques that will be beneficial for them.

Maya Angelou said, " People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” My goal is to create a space that allows you to FEEL seen, valued, and empowered. Life can be challenging, and seeking support can be even more difficult at times. However, if you are reading this it tells me that you are likely making the first steps to change something in your life or in the lives of your loved ones. I believe that everyone has an inner strength and the ability for growth and change. I would be grateful to support you on that journey.

I am a Board Certified Licensed Mental Health Counselor that believes in science and faith. I believe that a person’s current thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviors are determined and/or prescribed by past Experiences/Events of trauma, joy and pain. Experiences are stored in memories from the time that we are able to receive information; and transform into automatic thoughts and behaviors as various situations/conditions occur. An individual’s perceptions and evaluations of experiences affect how they manage current episodes of stress, anger, adversity, relationship problems, grief, trauma, low self-esteem and problems in living.

Whatever your reason for considering psychotherapy, I applaud you for prioritizing your mental health and urge you to continue on this road. Psychotherapy is a process of self-discovery and healing, which provides an opportunity to get to the root of your emotional and psychological challenges. Many of the challenges in your life can be better managed with psychotherapy, including feelings of anxiety and depression; living with unhealthy relationships or substance use; as well as identity issues or crises. ​

I work with the Pride community and others on anxiety, depression, gender identity, and self-esteem issues.

Are you tired of saying "it's fine" when you know that is the farthest thing from the truth? Trying to keep it all together, yet feeling like everything is crashing down around you. You worry that if you take a moment for yourself, you will be letting someone else down or be seen as selfish. Your wants and desires are often pushed to the side because you don't have the energy to add another thing to your plate. You worry about doing everything you think you “should” be doing, and struggle to know what you actually want; to live in a way that feels good to you. You long for a life that incorporates creativity, joy, and intention.

I am accepting new clients! I am a down to earth therapist, who wants to help you during this time in your life. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and can treat symptoms such as depression, anxiety, OCD, history of abuse, managing stress, and effects of trauma. If this is your first time ever going through therapy I want to ensure that your are comfortable and feeling safe while we go through this together. You are not alone, and I would love to work with you!

Hi all! I'm a Licensed Therapist in Florida and I truly enjoy working with adolescents & adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, social issues, and oppressive issues. Over the last few years, I've been lucky enough to work with a diverse population of clients, including those experiencing mental health concerns, houselessness, racial oppression, and gender dysphoria. This has helped me develop a number of creative, client-centered, and community-centered techniques designed to help clients identify their current strengths & challenges, and to develop treatment plans that allow them to track progress throughout treatment.

I have over 19 years of diverse experience in the social work and mental health field. I entered the profession because I wanted to help people learn the skills necessary to live their best lives. I have served in community behavioral health outpatient, residential group treatment, and general healthcare settings primarily with individuals, children, adolescents, families, and groups with mental health and co-occurring conditions. I look forward to serving you and your family.

Exhale. You have arrived at the right moment in your journey. Imagine your difficulties fading away like a bad dream in the rearview. You are moving toward your destination with confidence. Purpose. Butterflies. You’re Alive. And it feels inspired. What kind of therapist do you want beside you on your journey? An experienced traveler, no doubt. No stranger to life and death. Curious, warm, and open. Perceptive. Sees the beauty, heartbreak, irony, and even humor, in any given landscape. Instigates laughter. Invites silence. Beholds tears. Amplifies the good stuff. Kind. Respected. Affordable. Finds a way to schedule on short notice.

I believe that true emotional healing comes through holistically tending to the body, mind and spirit. I offer full range psychotherapy services that I combine with several Somatic or body-based techniques. As a registered Yoga Teacher, I have been known to incorporate meditation, breathing or physical postures in my sessions. The research shows that trauma, grief and the after effects of some of our experiences are stored in our bodies. What better way to heal or release them from our bodies than to intentionally use body exercises to move this harmful trauma energy out for good. I work with new mothers, children and families.
