Lynette Maggs
My name is Lynette Maggs and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I started my practice in a community mental health agency in the state of Florida gaining a wealth of knowledge and perspective of the scope of mental illness within our communities. This led me down the path to specialize in areas such as the welfare of children and families affected by trauma and its impact not only on the individual, the family but also the entire community. I have worked with families and individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, abuse/neglect, parenting difficulties, addiction, stress, loss, and the day to day hurdles each of us face in life. I would describe my approach as empathetic, warm, goal oriented, and client centered. I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy, as well as Client Focused therapy as the basis to my therapeutic approach to help my clients set goals and objectives, work through their traumas, and feel empowered once they have met their goals. I earned my Bachelor Degree through attending universities in the eastern U.S as my family traveled with my husband in his Coast Guard career. My Master Degree from Liberty University, Virginia in Mental Health Counseling. I have been practicing in the field for the past 20 years with a wealth of training and experiences prior to this time. I believe humor is essential as we face our hurdles in life and this has been lent to me through the 36 years of marriage, a daughter and navigating this all through 20 years of military life.

Ashley Irish
Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. My approach is grounded in evidence-based care and informed by experience across a variety of behavioral health settings, including outpatient treatment, schools, correctional programs, and community-based care. I work with adolescents and adults facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, attention-related difficulties, emotional regulation concerns, and obsessive-compulsive and related disorders. I believe meaningful growth begins with supportive relationships, practical skill development, and a collaborative therapeutic process. Together, we will identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build on existing strengths, and develop sustainable strategies that support long-term wellness and personal growth. My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each individual's unique needs, goals, and experiences. I integrate evidence-based behavioral therapies with a strengths-based perspective to help clients improve emotional wellbeing, navigate life challenges, strengthen relationships, and develop healthier patterns of thinking and behavior. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, attention-related difficulties, emotional and behavioral challenges, and obsessive-compulsive and related disorders. My therapeutic style balances warmth, compassion, and support with direct guidance and accountability when helpful. I take a holistic approach to wellness, recognizing that meaningful and lasting change often involves multiple areas of life, including emotional health, relationships, work, and daily functioning. Clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they are encouraged to openly discuss their experiences, concerns, and goals at their own pace. During the first session, I focus on building a strong therapeutic connection, gaining an understanding of current challenges, and identifying strengths, patterns, and areas for growth. Together, we begin developing meaningful and realistic treatment goals tailored to each person’s needs, values, and long-term wellbeing. I aim to create a collaborative space that balances emotional support with practical direction, helping clients feel understood, grounded, and empowered as they begin the therapeutic process.
