Hi, I’m Mary Rose Gullet, LCSW. I am a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about helping adolescents and adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, authenticity, and hope. I earned my Master of Social Work with honors from Saint Leo University and have experience working in both inpatient behavioral health and outpatient settings. I currently provide telehealth therapy and have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

My approach is strengths-based and collaborative. I believe that healing happens when people feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop new coping skills, and reconnect with their values and goals. I also have a special interest in trauma recovery, emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, and supporting adolescents and young adults.

Alexandra McGrath

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Welcome, and come as you are. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding yourself on a deeper level. Many of the struggles we experience in adulthood, whether in relationships, self-worth, anxiety, trauma, communication, or life satisfaction, are shaped by patterns that developed long before we were aware of them. Often these patterns started as adaptations, ways of coping or relating that once helped us navigate our family or environment and made sense at the time. My role is to help you identify those patterns, understand why they exist, and create lasting change rather than simply managing symptoms.

Hector Lopez

Therapist

Virtual • Kissimmee, FL


Hello! I'm Héctor López, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than ten years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, stress, grief, and other emotional challenges. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, identify your strengths, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. I believe therapy works best when it is built on trust, authenticity, and collaboration.

In therapy, I strive to create a space where clients feel accepted exactly as they are. Many people spend years feeling misunderstood, judged, or pressured to hide parts of themselves. I believe healing often begins when we can show up authentically and know that we will be met with compassion and respect.

If you're looking for a therapist who values empathy, authenticity, resilience, and genuine human connection, I would be honored to work with you.

Thank you for taking the time to read this! I look forward to the possibility of supporting you on your journey toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.

You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained, unsure why things feel harder than they used to. Maybe your thoughts won’t slow down at night, your mood shifts more than you’d like, or daily responsibilities feel heavier than before. You might feel frustrated trying to manage it all on your own, wondering if things will ever feel easier.

At Journi Alignment Mental Health, I help adults and older adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders move toward emotional balance through personalized psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing support, offered via telehealth or in an outpatient clinic setting.

When you meet with me, you’ll find a calm, welcoming space where your concerns are heard without judgment. I take time to listen and understand your story, symptoms, and goals. Together, we create a personalized plan that may include thoughtful psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and practical strategies to help you feel more stable and confident in your daily life. My approach is collaborative, you are always part of the decision-making process.

Over time, many clients begin to feel more balanced, more rested, and more in control of their emotions and routines. Imagine sleeping better, feeling less anxious, and having the energy to reconnect with the people and activities that matter most. My goal is to help you regain clarity, confidence, and peace as you move forward in your mental health journey.

Hello, I’m Star. I am a Licensed Mental Health and Addictions Counselor and am currently returning to school to pursue a Master’s Degree in Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, with the goal of holistically integrating mental and physical well-being. I graduated from the University of Colorado in 2016 with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health.

I began my counseling career working and volunteering in drug rehabilitation centers and community mental health centers and later gained experience within the criminal justice system through work in county jails and the Colorado state prison system, where I have been practicing since 2016.

My primary interests include working with trauma, substance use disorders, and general mental health and wellness, with an emphasis on movement and proper nutrition due to their impact on how we think and feel. I prefer a holistic approach, focusing on finding what works best for each individual client. I am trained in diversity and inclusion and utilize a person-centered approach in my professional practice.

My motto is, “You can’t pour from an empty cup,” and my goal is to help clients fill their cups so they can be more present for themselves and their loved ones.
