Hello and Welcome!

 You are here for a reason and your intuition may be pressing upon you to reach out for help, guidance, insights, and healing. I understand how life circumstances, traumas, hurt, and emotional instability can make you feel. If you are experiencing a situation that is challenging your wellness and stability, possibly disrupting optimal living, I am here to help! I commend you for taking the first step to reach out.

 My name is Dr. Claribel Perez; and many address me as Dr. Claire. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 2005 and a Certified Clinical Sex Therapist in Florida, since 2015. Also, I am a retired English Teacher since 1989, with over 30 years of experience and a retired UCF Adjunct Professor.

 My counseling tone envelops a communication style characterized by a warmth, caring, resourceful, supportive, and an empathic genuine demeanor, fostering a safe, non-judgmental space. Accordingly, my clinical approach unfolds from getting to know you first followed by building trust; focusing on your presenting concerns, your presenting problem and your overall goals. Afterwards, contingent on your needs, I interweave clinical approaches encouraging a mutual collaborative effort to work on treatment interventions, implementing and adapting therapeutic strategies and tools towards the accomplishment of your goals. In your best interest, I provide you treatment intervention options to "adapt and adopt", a healthy sense of “self”, empowering you towards a positive self-actualization and self-fulfillment (based on The Self Theory by one of my favorite classical Philosophers: Carl Rogers and Albert Bandura). I implement collaborative, evidence-based treatment interventions to address each person’s unique objectives and needs via Teletherapy. Clinical counseling approaches that I implement include: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCBT) combined with a Psycho-educational Approach, Sex Therapy (specifically the Psychological Barriers Type for women undergoing biological or traumatic issues), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Reality Therapy, and Psycho-dynamic Therapy, tailored to help each individual address their unique wellness goals.

A Collaborative Approach entails mutual, interactive, communicative and intentional working together through a formative process, which is essential to your progress. Whether you intend your sessions to strictly involve my listening skills and reflective insights, or whether you wish to establish detailed-specific goals to address specific issues, I will provide a structured framework tailored to provide you the therapeutic strategies, tools, and techniques.

 Embarking on the first steps towards your therapy journey requires courage and you already deserve a pat on your back for getting started! You are not alone on your journey towards empowerment, healing, and learning. At best, I am committed to provide insights and instrumental tools that will support your needs and goals.

Overall, my utmost approach is to provide you a safe therapeutic experience embracing emotional support, reflective insights, well-being, healing, and empowerment. I look forward to working with you.

 Stay well!
 ~ Dr. Claire

I'm Mariana — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained therapist. I grew up in a bilingual Latino household where two worlds, two languages, and two sets of expectations lived side by side. I know what it feels like to navigate between them. I lived and worked in Madrid, Spain which deepened my understanding of what it means to be "between" — between cultures, between the life you came from and the life you're building. That experience lives in my work every day. I believe the threshold — the in-between — is not empty. It's full of possibility. My job is to help you cross it with clarity, courage, and a lot less weight on your shoulders. With over eight years of clinical experience and specialized training in EMDR, I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, burnout, life transitions, relationship ruptures, and identity questions. I bring deep cultural curiosity to every session — because who you are in full is what belongs in the room.

I'm Patricia Rutledge-Capers, and I'm honored to support you on your healing journey.

My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for your unique story. I specialize in supporting clients through self-love, forgiveness, and the loneliness that often accompanies life's hardest moments. Whether you're processing past trauma, grieving a loss, or working to rebuild your sense of worth, I create a safe, affirming space where you can be fully seen and heard. I believe deeply in meeting clients where they are, honoring their values and identity. If you're seeking a therapist who understands the intersection of faith, resilience, and healing, I'm here to walk alongside you with genuine care and expertise. Taking that first step toward therapy takes courage. I'm truly proud of you for reaching out.

Hi, I’m Rochae, and thank you for being here. Finding the right therapist can feel like a big decision, so I’m honored you’re taking a moment to learn a little about me. Whether you’re navigating a difficult season, looking for support, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, I’m glad you’re here. I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a space where they can be fully themselves without judgment, pressure, or the feeling that they have to face life’s challenges alone. Asking for help isn’t always easy, and my goal is to create an environment where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely supported from our very first conversation. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with several years of experience as a Mobile Crisis Clinician, supporting adults through some of life’s most challenging moments. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, overwhelming stress, grief, suicidal crises, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. These experiences have taught me the importance of meeting people where they are with compassion, empathy, and hope. I enjoy working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, and life transitions. Whether you’re feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, uncertain about your next step, or simply looking for a place where you can speak openly without fear of judgment, you don’t have to face it alone. I believe therapy is a partnership built on trust, honesty, and collaboration. My role isn’t to tell you what to do or to have all the answers. Instead, I’m here to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and develop practical tools that support the life you want to create. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you while working toward meaningful and lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized to your unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based Therapy, always remembering that no two people or their stories are the same. I know opening up can feel vulnerable, especially if this is your first experience with therapy. My hope is that you’ll find our sessions to be a place where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow. I believe meaningful change is possible, and sometimes the hardest part is simply taking the first step. Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here to support you.

I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's complexities with compassion and clarity. My work centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and family dynamics while building stronger self-esteem and self-love. I bring specialized experience working with ADHD, communication difficulties, and the impact of chronic pain and illness. I'm also passionate about helping clients explore life purpose, process family-of-origin patterns, and cultivate forgiveness—both toward others and themselves. My approach is collaborative and person-centered. I believe in meeting you where you are and working together to identify what matters most to you. Whether you're facing relationship struggles, managing anxiety, or seeking greater clarity about your direction in life, I'm here to support your growth with genuine care and practical insight. I'm honored by the trust my clients place in me, and I'm committed to creating a respectful, affirming space where you can show up authentically.

I’m Patrick, a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, burnout, and major life transitions. I also welcome clients exploring identity, culture, faith, or questions of meaning, and I offer therapy in English and Portuguese. My style is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, psychoanalytic, existential, and humanistic approaches. We will address what is troubling you now while also becoming curious about deeper patterns that may keep it returning—such as early relationships, unspoken expectations, self-criticism, or the roles you often take with others. Therapy with me is thoughtful and unhurried. I pay careful attention, invite reflection, and help bring less-visible patterns into view. My aim is to provide a respectful, nonjudgmental space where you can understand yourself more fully, feel steadier, and make changes that last. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable; you do not need to have everything figured out before we begin.
