32 years of experience

Hello, My name is Moises Ramy. I am a licensed mental health therapist in the State of Florida and a doctor of psychology. I graduated as a Doctor of Clinical Psychology from Carlos Albizu University, Miami Campus and completed my doctoral internship at the Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Lexington, Kentucky. At that time, the mission of FMC was a federal prison/hospital for incarcerated females with medical and psychological conditions. During my doctoral internship, I completed three clinical rotations. Two at FMC, in the Crisis Wing and in the General Population Unit and an elective rotation at Ridge Behavioral Health Sstem (formerly Charter Ridge Hospital of Lexington), Lexington, Kentucky assessing suicidality of adolescents in crisis from the Lexington area and the Appalachians. My clinical spectrum covers female and men from diverse populations, members of the LGBTQ community, homeless veterans, and young college students struggling with moderate to severe adjustment issues. During these clinical years, I have acquired vast experience helping clients from all walks of life who suffer from depression, anxiety, stress, interpersonal and relationship conflicts, bipolar disorder, sexual and gender identity issues, abuse and trauma, and co-occurrent substance disorders. I have offered most of my clinical services in diverse prisons and rehabilitation centers, private and community mental health hospitals, and veteran homeless organizations. My exposure and experience working with these populations have extraordinarily helped me gain more awareness about the human greatness and become a more empathetic, non-judgmental and non-directive clinician. My whole idea about psychotherapy is helping clients to help themselves so that they work on healthier solutions, develop strength to cope with their daily challenges and regain competence and control of their life.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with experience working in a variety of settings including outpatient, inpatient, and residential helping people with substance use and mental health issues. Specific concerns I work with include depression, anxiety, OCD, and ADHD. I have a specific area of expertise in helping people who have experienced trauma or abuse, including those who grew up in a dysfunctional household and those dealing with PTSD. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I get to know my clients through genuine curiosity, avoiding labels so as to not put my clients in a box; I find it more valuable and useful for both myself and my clients, to get to know an individual for who they are rather than what their diagnosis is. My approach combines humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, and some psychodynamic. I will adjust my approach to best fit your unique and specific needs. By coming this far, you have already taken a courageous step toward changing the thing that brought you here. If you are ready to continue that courage, I am here to support and empower you. I'm looking forward to meeting and working with you!

Hello! My name is Marian Bach. I have worked in the mental health field for the past 25 years. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, Certified Addictions Professional, Certified Life Coach and National Certified Counselor. My goal over my years of working with many, many clients has been to help them learn how and to practice moving forward from suffering and dysfunction to living in wellness and positive purpose in life and life style. Some of the issues I have helped clients with are various trauma experiences, self esteem building, food and/or body image problems, as well as coaching for career choice concerns, educational problems and any unclear situation that might require dissecting and guidance from a non-judgmental "eye'. My style is warm and comfortable. I am respectful and encouraging. I empathize with my client's problems and help to separate emotions from behaviors. I am very solution focused. I definitely work to get into the solution and help my clients move that way as well. I feel it is very brave of someone to come and ask for help for themselves. I like to help clients learn about and practice mindfulness and learn how to appreciate what is positive in their lives by practicing daily gratitude. I am looking forward to meeting you and being your good listener, guide, and us working as a team to help you build and live in inner peace.

Thank you for reaching out! I am a general psychologist and licensed clinical therapist with over 25 years of experience and four years on BetterHelp. I was born and raised in Central New Jersey, enjoying the seasons, playing tennis, and vacationing in Florida. Friends asking for advice led to a career in psychology/social work, which was a good fit. After college and graduate school, I moved to Chicago and, ironically, to South Florida! I am Jewish, married for 31 years, and have three children, ages 26, 23, and 20. My lived experiences in a variety of circumstances allow me to be a very empathetic therapist: Relationships, friendships, spectrum issues, loss, illness, motivation, relational bullying, sociopathy, self-esteem, empowerment/self-strengthening, family issues, career concerns, and sports psychology. At 23, I traded in my tennis racket for figure skates: I have been skating ever since, at the Silver Ladies Freestyle Level, and have tested in Silver Ice Dance and Bronze Pairs. My approach combines guidance and support, motivating others to make life changes as they explore the inner self. Life is full of hills and valleys, and sometimes a steep climb. I provide a different vantage point and insight to begin the journey of change. Each of us is unique, and our therapeutic pathway reflects that individuality. I enjoy helping clients become motivated to make life changes while exploring their inner selves. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with relationship difficulties, parenting, self-esteem and self-empowerment struggles, goal management, career goals/issues, familial concerns, grief and loss, psychopathy, and manipulative tactics within relationships. I take an eclectic approach and enjoy integrating different treatment modalities into sessions to adhere to the individual needs of the client: Psychodynamic, EMDR (I am EMDR trained), Couples therapy (Gottman Level 1); Systemic, Insight-Oriented, Solution-based, Narrative, Rogerian-Strength-based, Emotion Focused Couples Therapy, Vulnerability Cycle Approach, Emotion Focused and Client Focused Therapies, and Cognitive-Behavioral. My specialty is relationships, boundaries, change, organization, and self-control. By helping individuals learn how to respond to others and daily stresses healthily, I help them live happier, more fulfilling lives. I take a client-centered approach to assisting clients to gain clarity, perspective, and self-esteem so they can be their best versions. I particularly enjoy working with couples, helping them communicate and reflect on themselves, each other, and their relationship. Men and women often have very different perceptual styles. Understanding these differences and how to approach and embrace these unique aspects helps couples become stronger and more unified. If you do not see a time on the scheduler that accommodates you, it does not mean that I cannot do a specific time for you. I often schedule "by appointment" significantly earlier in the day and on weekends. I also utilize a sincere approach, so if you desire to be lulled into a false sense of security, I am not the therapist for you. Quotes: "Who is afraid of the wolf does not go into the forest."

Hello, in an effort to introduce myself, I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I became involved in counseling because my husband was a Vietnam veteran that suffered from chronic PTSD and unfortunately Agent Orange. Initially, I wanted to only work with veterans' administration but there were other opportunities in life for me. I have worked in the prison system here in Florida, I have also worked at a community counseling centers and I have also had the pleasure to work with children, most of which were in the DCF program. Children are incredibly resilient. I have worked with clients that have suffered from depression, anxiety, anger management, abandonment issues, ADHD, and trauma. Counselling for me is a way to help people reconnect to who they are, encourage faith, compassion and sensitivity and respect for who they are. I work to develop an empathetic working relationship based on trust. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help and change is hard, but incredible rewarding. Reach out and take the first step. I look forward to hearing from you!

Most people don’t work with me because things are “kind of hard.” They come because something isn’t working anymore. Individuals often reach out feeling anxious, discouraged, or emotionally worn down—stuck in looping thoughts, struggling to find motivation, and wondering why even small things feel harder than they should. Couples often arrive after the same arguments keep repeating, followed by long stretches of silence or emotional distance, both partners feeling misunderstood and unsure how to break the cycle. I work with both individuals and couples who want more than surface-level relief. My approach is practical, forward-looking, and focused on helping you understand what’s happening beneath the patterns you’re stuck in—so you can begin making real, sustainable changes. Working With Individuals When anxiety or depression has been present for a while, it often shows up as a mix of emotional heaviness, high anxiety, low motivation, and strain in relationships. Many individuals I work with feel mentally exhausted and frustrated with themselves for not “handling things better,” even though they’re trying. My work with individuals focuses on helping you understand your emotional patterns, regulate intense feelings, and develop practical skills for managing symptoms in everyday life. Rather than just talking about what hurts, we work toward clarity and direction—so you know what you’re dealing with and what to do when symptoms show up. Clients often say they feel more hopeful within the first few weeks because they finally have a clear sense of what’s going on and a realistic plan for addressing it. Early wins—such as improved emotion regulation—help rebuild confidence and momentum. Working With Couples Couples usually come to me caught in a familiar cycle: frequent, recurring conflict followed by long periods of silence or emotional withdrawal. Arguments tend to repeat, resolution feels temporary, and both partners are left feeling disconnected or defeated. In my work with couples, I focus on helping each partner understand their relationship blueprint—their expectations, assumptions, and ways of relating—and how those differ from their partner’s. Most couples aren’t struggling because one person is wrong. They’re struggling because their expectations are misaligned, and each assumes the other’s way of relating is the problem. As couples gain insight into these differences and develop new skills, conflict typically becomes less frequent, less intense, and shorter in duration. Communication improves, emotional safety increases, and repair becomes more possible. A Practical, Coaching-Oriented Approach My style is often described as more coaching-oriented than traditional counseling. While we don’t ignore past experiences, our work is primarily forward-looking. Understanding the past can be helpful, but it isn’t required for significant, meaningful change. I focus on teaching practical skills, setting clear goals together, and helping clients stay accountable to what they say they want for themselves and their relationships. This includes structured homework, weekly review, and ongoing adjustment—so insight turns into real-world change. Many clients tell me this approach has been more effective than years of standard counseling. Who Is a Good Fit? Individuals tend to do best in my work if they’re looking not just for emotional support (though you'll get that), but also for practical help managing anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm. Couples tend to do best when both partners are committed to making the marriage work, even if they feel discouraged or disconnected right now. If you value clarity, structure, and actionable change—and you’re willing to engage the process—my approach is likely a strong fit. Faith and Values I work respectfully with clients from a variety of backgrounds and belief systems. I will never proselytize or impose my personal faith on anyone. At the same time, I’m comfortable engaging faith as a meaningful part of life and relationships when clients want that included. For Christian individuals and couples, I’m able to honor and work within our faith commitments in a thoughtful, grounded way. For those who are not religious, our work remains practical, focused, and fully respectful of your worldview. My background includes an MS in Counselor Education from Mississippi State University, an MDiv from Baylor University, and a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Florida. I’ve served as a psychologist and professor in university settings and am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of Florida.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits.
