Danielle Poehlman
My name is Danielle Poehlman and I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. Many of my family members have suffered from addiction, mental illness and trauma. After losing two older siblings under complicated drug and mental health related circumstances, I decided to become a therapist. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Florida International University with a bachelor's degree in psychology, and obtaining a master's degree in mental health counseling from Capella University, this goal was finally achieved. Through my own personal growth and educational journey, I have implemented a variety of modalities to facilitate the wholistic healing of mind, body and spirit. I am a Certified Reiki Master with over 20 years of hands-on experience. I am knowledgeable on the concept of Highly Sensitive Persons or HSPs, (also known as Empaths), as I have found a large number of clients can be assisted profoundly with just simple education and practical coping strategies. My counseling style is motivational and strengths-based. My goal is to utilize profound understanding and my own empathic skills as supplements to psychotherapy in order to assist in the healing process. Through rapport and trust, we will work as a team to tailor treatment plans and therapeutic dialog to suit individual needs. I have assisted clients from a multitude of backgrounds and issues, including addiction, anxiety, grief/loss, abuse, trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship issues (kink-friendly) and more. These issues do not discriminate. Those that appear the strongest often struggle the most. Those that appear joyful sometimes reach the depths of despair. There is no shame in asking for help; it is, in fact, one of the most courageous decisions you will ever make. Please reach out.

Hendrice Tippit
Hi! Im Drice. I have been in the field for over 12 years and I've enjoyed every moment of it. I am married to a very loving Air Force man and we have three precious fur babies! We also have two sweet “bonus” children!! My hobbies are random because I take interest and find fun in most anything I’m presented with! I love to travel, learn about different cultures and if possible, meet the elders of the land to simply chat and absorb their beautiful energy and knowledge. A few other things that I enjoy are hiking, dining, walking in scenic places, dancing, and TikToking (haha). In Therapy, I find CBT to be most effective but I am very flexible in treatment. I am a natural helper and healer so I aim to effect change in each life that I'm given the opportunity to work with.
