My name is Dr. Natalia Kuzmina. I hold a Ph.D in Couple and Family Therapy. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified EMDR therapist. My work centers on people who feel stuck in painful relationship patterns—survivors of narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, experiencing trauma bonding, or relationships where they’ve been used, manipulated, or made to feel small. Many of my clients come to me exhausted from always being the “strong one,” the peacekeeper, the fixer. They say yes when they want to say no. They feel guilty for setting boundaries, or they’ve never had the chance to build them in the first place. They’re people-pleasers, and chronic caregivers who keep ending up with partners or family members who take far more than they give. I help you break that cycle. With EMDR and other science-based approaches, we work at the root—not just on the symptoms. We target the wounds and experiences that trained your nervous system to accept too little, tolerate too much, and abandon yourself to stay safe. My style is direct, grounded, and compassionate. I will challenge you when it helps you grow, and I’ll support you without judgment. My goal is for you to build a solid sense of self—one that doesn’t collapse around other people’s needs. One that knows how to say no without guilt, how to choose partners who respect you, and how to walk away from relationships that damage you. If you’re ready to stop repeating old patterns and start building a life where you feel safe, valued, and in control, I’m here to walk that path with you.

 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.

 Stay well!
