I am a compassionate and authentic therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, creating a safe space where clients can explore their experiences without judgment. I work with individuals who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together. I specialize in supporting clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation. I integrate evidence-based approaches including EMDR, CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused interventions to help clients process painful experiences, develop healthier coping skills, and reconnect with their sense of self. My style is compassionate yet practical. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” someone, but about helping people understand themselves, recognize their strengths, and create meaningful change. I value honesty, curiosity, and meeting each client where they are in their healing journey. Through my own life experiences, I understand that life can bring unexpected challenges, loss, and moments when we question our ability to move forward. These experiences have deepened my empathy and strengthened my commitment to helping others feel less alone in their struggles. My goal is to walk alongside my clients as they build resilience, gain confidence, and create a life that feels more aligned with who they truly are. You do not have to navigate your healing journey alone.

I'm a therapist with six years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. My approach is person-centered — I meet you where you're at, using CBT and EMDR depending on what's useful for you, not a one-size-fits-all plan. I have a particular passion for substance use work, and I believe change is possible even when it feels impossible right now. Sessions are held virtually, at a pace that's yours.

Hi, I'm Heather, a Licensed Professional Counselor providing telehealth therapy to adults and couples in Oregon and Florida. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine relationship where you can show up exactly as you are—without fear of judgment—while also being challenged to grow. I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen, understood, and accepted, while helping you move away from shame and toward greater self-acceptance and confidence. I especially enjoy working with trauma, anxiety, relationship concerns, intimacy and sexuality, veterans, neurodivergent adults, religious trauma, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those in the BDSM/Kink and consensual non-monogamy communities. I believe everyone deserves therapy where they don't have to educate their therapist before they can begin healing. I'm genuine, down-to-earth, and I use humor often because sometimes laughter can be just as healing as tears. Outside of therapy, you'll usually find me reading, playing video games, watching anime, tending my garden, spoiling my pets, or planning my next Halloween Horror Nights trip. I also love weaving clients' own interests into therapy. Whether it's video games, books, art, music, fitness, Dungeons & Dragons, or another hobby, I believe healing is often more meaningful when it connects to the things that already bring you joy and help you feel like yourself.

My name is Natalie Cunningham, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Originally from New York City, I have called the South home for the past 10 years. Before entering private practice, I completed my graduate internship at a long-term residential treatment facility serving individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. For the past several years, I have worked in private practice, specializing in the treatment of trauma and trauma-related concerns, including depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and other mental health conditions. My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and client-centered therapy. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel comfortable, understood, and accepted. While I maintain a professional and evidence-based approach, my style is warm, approachable, and conversational. My goal is to create an environment where therapy feels like a genuine, collaborative conversation rather than a clinical experience, allowing clients to feel at ease as they work toward healing and personal growth.

Life can feel heavy and overwhelming, and we don’t have to carry everything alone. I’m here to help shoulder some of that weight and guide you toward the life you’re envisioning. I practice from a holistic perspective, considering all aspects of your life and how they influence one another. Even when we focus on a single concern, we’ll explore the broader patterns and connections that shape your wellbeing. Growth is rarely linear, and we’ll navigate that journey together with intention and compassion to help you get lasting change. I thrive with clients who understand they need to work for change, want to gain insight and value personal evolution. Sessions often lead to new insights, “aha” moments, and sometimes even a laugh or two. Humor doesn’t replace healing, but it sure can soften the edges of difficult moments. For my qualifications, I’m have a bachelor’s in Social Work and a master’s degree in counseling earned back in 2013. My background spans substance abuse treatment, grief and trauma work, suicide prevention, attention concerns, and mood and anxiety disorders — I’ve walked alongside people through some of life’s toughest chapters. And if you’re interested in Law of Attraction coaching, I also offer that as a way to help you align your mindset with your goals and dreams.

believe healing is not about fixing what is “wrong,” but about building a kinder, more trusting relationship with yourself. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating life transitions, issues around identity and self esteem, or feeling the lingering effects of traumatic experiences. Together we will work towards restoring a sense of grounding, choice, and self-compassion. With compassion and curiosity, the survival responses that once protected us can begin to soften opening the door to healing, thriving, and building a life lived with intention. My approach is heart centered and trauma informed. My work integrates EMDR (technique for reprocessing traumatic experiences), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). As a certified yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner, I value the body’s wisdom and may incorporate mindfulness or somatic awareness into our sessions.

I didn’t become a therapist because I believed life should be perfect—I became a therapist because I know how complex, messy, and deeply human life can be. Over the years, I’ve sat with many people navigating anxiety, overwhelming life transitions, relationship struggles, and the quiet pressure to “hold it all together.” My goal in therapy is to create a space where you don’t have to do that alone. A space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment—and begin to make sense of what you’re carrying. My work is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that healing happens when people feel truly seen and understood. I often work with adults who feel stretched between responsibilities, expectations, and their own emotional needs. I also have a special place in my heart for supporting women and mothers as they move through pregnancy, postpartum changes, and the many emotional layers of parenthood. In our work together, I integrate evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, while also focusing on practical tools that help regulate the nervous system and create meaningful change in everyday life. Therapy with me is collaborative—we work together to understand patterns, process difficult experiences, and help you move toward the life you want to build. I founded my practice with the intention of creating a space that feels warm, supportive, and human. A place where both clients and clinicians can feel safe to grow, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. Outside of my work, I value time with my family, creativity, and designing environments that feel calm, comforting, and restorative—because I believe the spaces we create, both internally and externally, play an important role in healing.

My approach to therapy is to help the client find resiliency through empowerment and help them find the keys that they already have within themselves through trauma-informed techniques. I believe that we are capable of overcoming maladaptive beliefs stored in the body by forging a mind-body connection to restore our true, authentic selves. I approach therapy with the objective of empowering the client to create their own success. Although I am warm by nature and approach therapy with compassion and empathy, I can be direct when needed, if the client needs to be challenged with irrational beliefs that may be limiting their success. Rapport is vital in exploring trauma and healing. In the initial intake, I will work with you to create a collaborative treatment plan using motivational interviewing, as well as collect relevant information that you deem important to the process. I will likely provide a few coping skills, especially if the goal is to work through traumatic events using EMDR.

I am passionate about trauma and helping others who have suffered from trauma in the past. The impact of trauma is largely unrecognized and can last a lifetime. Additionally, symptoms of trauma masquerade as many other diagnoses. For example, thousands of children are diagnosed each year with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, when their symptoms are actually due to trauma. Trauma disguises itself as anger management issues, impulsivity, depression, anxiety, phobias, panic attacks ... the list goes on and on. For me, treating trauma and helping others overcome its devastating effects is intensely rewarding.

You're accomplished, dependable, and outwardly composed, yet feel anxious, depleted, or disconnected from yourself. I work with creatives, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public-facing leaders who are accustomed to functioning at a high level but no longer want success to come at the expense of their peace, identity, or relationships. You may be overthinking decisions, carrying pressure that no one else sees, questioning your direction, struggling with imposter feelings, or realizing that the version of you that helped you succeed no longer feels like who you are. Sometimes the problem is not that your life is falling apart. It is that the life you built no longer feels fully aligned with you. My approach is identity-focused, emotionally attuned, and practical. We will look beneath the immediate symptoms to understand the patterns, experiences, expectations, and internal pressures shaping how you move through your life. From there, we will work toward meaningful changes that support greater self-trust, emotional steadiness, and a stronger relationship with yourself. Therapy with me is not about becoming better at tolerating a life that no longer fits. It is about coming back to who you are and building from there.

Do you feel overwhelmed these days? Are you constantly trying to strike a balance between the demands of work and parenting or co-parenting, while also managing your health, housework, and perhaps other demands? In your family, does the caretaking always fall to you? Are you experiencing depression and anxiety in reaction to either a past trauma and/or burnout from stress? I work with women who are experiencing what I like to call "multiple-role fatigue". I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma-related stress disorders common to women who face an ever-mounting load of responsibilities in a complex society, where being a mother or a caretaker often comes with diverse challenges and responsibilities. I also like to work with clients on their recovery from trauma. With this in mind, I incorporate various treatment modalities, where healing and recovery can take place through a combination of compassionate conversation, active listening, homework assignments journaling, mindfulness, self-reflection, cognitive behavior therapy, grief counseling, boundary setting and trauma-informed care. I also offer a faith-based support, where clients seeking a Christian approach are welcome. I like to form a supportive alliance with caregivers to help them navigate the demands of parenting a child or children with higher needs. I focus on parental needs, and I work with clients using evidence-based techniques to empower them to achieve balance and experience lasting well-being. For parents, I'm a big advocate of self-care, and I help my clients learn to nurture themselves in a sustainable way to avoid burnout. I also believe that parents need to feel seen and heard, and the stress of parenting cannot be overemphasized. Forming a partnership with parents, giving them a forum in which they feel consistently supported in a compassionate and non-judgmental way, therefore, is one of my top priorities as a therapist.

I know how easy it is to become the person everyone depends on while quietly carrying stress, pressure, anxiety, or emotional pain underneath the surface. Many of the clients I work with are high functioning professionals, caregivers, parents, and leaders who are used to pushing through life while putting their own emotional needs on the back burner. Over time, that emotional weight can start showing up in relationships, work, sleep, mood, self esteem, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. My goal as a therapist is to create a space where you no longer feel like you have to hold everything together alone. I specialize in EMDR therapy and work with adults and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is warm, grounded, and direct. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation with someone who is present, engaged, and genuinely invested in helping you heal and grow. Together, we will explore not only what is happening in the present, but also how past experiences may still be shaping the way you think, feel, react, and connect with others today. EMDR can help reduce the emotional intensity connected to painful experiences so you can move through life with greater clarity, confidence, and peace. With over 16 years of experience in mental health and substance use recovery, I am passionate about helping people move out of survival mode and feel more emotionally connected, balanced, and like themselves again. I provide virtual therapy to clients in Georgia, Florida, and Virginia.

I am passionate about helping clients learn more about how those earlier experiences impact their world-view today about themselves and others. To do this effectively, I use a combination of cognitive and body- based theories, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

My name is Nicole Nonclerc, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Master's Level Certified Addictions Professional (MCAP), and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) in Florida with 10+ years' experience in mental health and addiction treatment. I have worked with clients of all ages, from early childhood through elderly adults, and am comfortable treating a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and personality disorders. I have also helped clients who need assistance navigating difficult systems of care such as drug court, DCF agencies, and foster care. I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at Florida State University, and my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Walden University. I recently completed my PhD in Criminal Justice at Nova Southeastern University, as well. My counseling style tends to be solution-focused and interactive. I believe that, although a therapist does bring skills and techniques to the sessions, clients are still the experts of their own lives and solutions should fit within the client’s unique lifestyle, values, and views. My approach combines multiple therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral, motivational enhancement, and humanistic approaches in order to create a unique plan of action for each client. I recognize that making the decision to pursue counseling as a method of making positive changes in your life is daunting, but if you are ready to improve your life, even if you’re not sure where to begin, then I am happy to support and encourage you along this journey! Please note, due to conflicts of interest, I will not treat anyone who is living in, has a civil or legal case in, or is associated in any way with Hillsborough County, Florida.

Hi, I’m Brooke, a licensed therapist who helps adults find relief from anxiety, heal from trauma, and navigate the transitions that life inevitably brings. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative . I want you to feel comfortable, understood, and supported from the very beginning. I primarily draw from CBT, ACT, and EMDR, but I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I get to know you as a person so that we can tailor therapy to what works best for you. Clients often describe me as “calming,” and I think that reflects the kind of space I try to create : one where you can let your guard down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to move toward real change. I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to suffer and I believe that no one should have to stay stuck in pain or face it alone.

I want to know if you are tired of feeling anxious or depressed, you've tried, but nothing has helped, it just keeps spiraling? Do you feel confused and conflicted, maybe feeling like you need to change but have no idea how? Are you feeling stressed about a job, a relationship, not having a social life, or like you're functioning at a low level? Are you experiencing mood swings, in relapse mode, or struggling with post traumatic stress? Acknowledging the situation was the first step, that is self-awareness. Now making the decision to seek guidance because you haven't healed or changed on your own, is the second step. You've made progress already. I specialize in helping you decide what you need, what you want, and finding out how to make the changes that will open doors for the new you. We walk part of your path together; I may be your guide but you are the driver. I take a holistic, solution-focused approach, focused on what you need in your life right now. I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a modality that helps clients quickly make changes by accessing the deep roots that keep the negative and painful emotions alive. We access what lies beneath the thoughts and words, making changes in the emotional brain; by the end of the session, you feel empowered, happy, light-hearted.

My name is Nikki Caravella and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida. I earned my Undergraduate Degree in Social Work at Youngstown State University in 1996 and my Master's Degree at Case Western Reserve University in 1998. Since that time, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse group of clients. Each of them came into service bringing a unique history and presenting with equally distinct needs and expectations of counseling. As a therapist, I treat a wide range of mental health issues and life adjustment challenges. I am experienced in helping clients relieve anxiety using various techniques, including neuro-linguistic programming. For those who have suffered past traumatic events, we can use cognitive/behavioral tools to help reconcile the emotions connected to the events. If you happen to live in or near Ocala and are able to come in person for session, we can utilize a treatment called Accelerated Resolution Therapy to neutralize heightened emotional responses.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
