You’re in pain, losing hope, and self-worth is nowhere to be found. You're smart, highly educated. You ask yourself, 'Why can't I figure this out?!' You work in a high-pressured job, likely serving and taking care of others. Your spouse can’t stand you. Your kids won’t talk to you. Your boss is starting to ask questions. WTH is going on? You’re drinking too much? Using a little something on the side to get through the day? You’re not sure how long you can keep up this charade. You want your spouse and kids back (most of the time). You want your boss off your back. How to stop the madness? You want to feel normal again.

Hello and welcome! I go by Mac and I am a queer, Chinese-Panamanian and White-American mental health counselor. I welcome folks of all identities and their unique reasons for seeking counseling. My intention is to empower clients toward holistic wellness, particularly those who hold marginalized and systematically oppressed identities. Over time, I have worked with a range of clients and concerns including identity exploration, relationship issues, abuse, assault, substance use, incarceration, self-harm, and suicide.

I am dual trained in Mental Health in addition to Marriage and Family therapy. Therefore I work with individuals as well as couples and families. My approach to working with clients is to identify where they are currently at, then help them identify where they want to be. Through collaboration I work with clients to identify clear, identifiable short term goals to aid them in growing closer to their main therapeutic goal.

Seeking help is an important and personal decision. As a licensed marriage and family therapist and a licensed mental health counselor, I offer a style of counseling that is both gentle and challenging to individuals, couples and families. My approach in the therapeutic process is one that supports and guides you to gain greater understanding of yourself and your relationships as you work to resolve the issues you choose to address such as: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relational issues and disruptions in life. In therapy we set goals explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors and work together toward your desired outcomes.

My goal is to improve client mental health so that they feel and perform better. I provide a space where clients can be “heard” without judgment and are able to identify their strengths. These strengths are then combined with research-based practices to build skills needed to achieve one's personal goals. If a client is unsure about their goals, they have my support in helping to clarify them. We will then learn, practice and apply the skills. At other times, a simple objective ear is all a client needs. My services are provided in the least restrictive and quickest manner possible.

Are you interested in personal and relationship growth? Or simply need a reset after a trauma? Do you have a question about sexual health that you aren't sure how to ask? I work with individuals, partners, and couples developing their own unique individual identities as well as finding a balance between connection with others and a connection with themselves. A strong sense of self enables us to set appropriate boundaries with those we love.

Whether your goal is to become more productive, to find more meaning and purpose in life, to reduce emotional reactivity, or to gain some control over the symptoms of a mental illness, change is possible, and counseling can help. My approach is individualized for each client, but I most often employ mindfulness, solution-focused, and behavioral strategies. I work with individuals, families, and groups.

If you feel depressed or anxious, frustrated with yourself or someone else, or reeling from an important life transition, therapy can be life-changing. As your therapist, we will identify the source of your discomfort, and guide you toward repairing the disconnect between how you feel and who you want to be. I work with couples and families as well, having difficulties with communication and living harmoniously together. I specialize in young adults (18-35), for whom therapy can be pivotal in achieving great growth and change. Another specialty is those having issues with parenting, and balancing work/family/individual needs.

Hello! There are times in life where we may find ourselves struggling with current stressors or are experiencing challenges coping with wounds from the past. While seemingly functioning in the day-to-day routines of work, school, home, and within relationships, it becomes increasingly difficult or sometimes even impossible to manage.

Deciding to go to therapy isn't an easy decision, but it certainly is a courageous move. Our world often beats us down and tells us that we should be able to deal with struggles on our own. Fortunately, we are made to walk through life's struggles together. I consider it an honor to walk with you and to help you work through challenges that are keeping you from experiencing life the way you deserve. In therapy, I use a positive, strengths based approach to help you reach your goals.

My approach is to offer clients the support, acceptance, insight and guidance needed in order to achieve a healthier and more fulfilling level of functioning in their lives. You may have already identified goals for self-improvement that you’d like to sort through, or maybe you are not yet able to articulate anything beyond your desire to alleviate a general discomfort, soreness, pain or paralyses you feel in one or more areas of your life. It is OK to enter counseling with more questions than answers! Your counseling journey has already begun as you’ve started to research counselors and take this important step for yourself.

Hi! My name is Tatiana and I am a licensed Mental Health Therapist in the state of Florida. A lot of my clinical work is in helping teens and adults navigate through anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, identity, grief, self-harm, LGBTQ+ related issues, racial oppression, and relationships. Additionally, I practice play therapy (i.e. helping children through life transitions, ADHD, and emotional regulation). I am formally trained in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) which incorporates somatic practices as we give attention to your emotional experiences.

The couples, individuals, and families I work with bring a myriad of issues including communication differences, sex and sexuality, life transitions, anxiety, multicultural issues, trauma, ADHD, eating disorders, and depression. Being able to come alongside to help them live to their full potential with complete freedom from roadblocks and mental/emotional issues is my passion. I do this through teaching emotional, body and mind awareness, everyday coping strategies, and working through some of the areas where they may be feeling "stuck."

Welcome! I believe our best work is created in a collaborative spirit; this is why I choose to coach over therapy. We each have personal strengths. Let’s utilize yours to stabilize your weaknesses while we work through your present transition. Life comes at us fast. Sometimes, we need someone beside us to remind us we do have what we need inside, if we know where to look. Often times it’s just a matter of finding a bit of clarity and setting goals. In our work together we’ll strive to ensure you reach success in practicing new skills and attain new heights. It’s time to define that life desired. What is your True North?

We all want to be the best version of ourselves. Knowing what that looks like can be difficult, especially when you feel overwhelmed by the stressors of life. If you feel that you need some extra support and guidance through these feelings, Therapy can be the catalyst for guidance and change when you feel overwhelmed and struggle finding the joy in your life. In therapy, we will identify how these feelings may be holding you back, and learn to integrate skills to help you step into the best version of yourself.

Are you at a turning point in your life and looking for change but not sure what to do? Frustrated with behavior that seems to be counterproductive? Haunted by past events, nightmares or anxiety? You can't get your ducks in a row if they are all in the closet; therapy is a good way to get them out and gives you someone to help herd them. “More Joy” is my motto, in life and in counseling, and I'd love to help you.
