Grief counselors and therapists in Coral Springs, FL

My clinical background includes extensive experience working with underprivileged populations, victims of crime, and individuals coping with bereavement, grief, and loss. I have served as a school counselor for students from pre‐K through 12th grade, and I have supported college students navigating the challenges of major life transitions.

After completing my Master’s in Counseling from California State University, Sacramento, I co‐facilitated a children’s bereavement group with Hospice and led a suicide‐prevention program throughout inner‐city schools in Sacramento. These experiences have deepened my understanding of how individuals process adversity, build resilience, and find meaning in their healing journeys.

My therapeutic approach is humanistic and person‐centered, with an emphasis on play and art therapy. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution‐Focused techniques, and mindfulness‐based approaches to support clients in developing insight, strengthening coping skills, and fostering emotional well‐being.

Welcome! I’m Dr. Annakay Rhule, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults achieve emotional wellness and balance. My passion lies in creating a safe, supportive space where every patient feels heard, understood, and empowered to thrive.

With a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Palm Beach Atlantic University and years of experience across outpatient, telepsychiatry, and school-based settings, I specialize in caring for children and families navigating challenges such as anxiety, ADHD, mood changes, and behavioral concerns. My approach blends compassionate listening with evidence-based treatment to support long-term growth and resilience.

I’m Nicole Alvarez, LMHC, a Tampa therapist for couples, blended and traditional families, and individuals. I help busy partners and parents reduce conflict, rebuild connection, and gain practical tools for daily life. Evening and weekend telehealth across Florida; part‐time in‐office sessions in Tampa. Private‐pay welcome; superbills provided. Whether you’re an executive couple facing withdrawal, repeated conflict, and work–life spillover, or a blended family navigating loyalty, boundary, and logistical strain, you want discreet, time‐efficient, results‐focused therapy that fits your schedule.

Using Emotion‐Focused, systems, and skills‐based methods, I create evidence‐informed plans for executives, couples, blended and traditional families, and individuals. We set clear goals, improve communication and co‐parenting, and use brief between‐session practices. Same-week telehealth, evenings/weekends, part‐time Tampa office, packages and superbills.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, weighed down, or stuck carrying things you rarely say out loud, you don’t have to do that alone. I work with people navigating depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, attachment wounds, and PTSD. In therapy, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and help you build a life that feels safer, steadier, and more like your own. Nothing is “too much” here, and you get to set the pace.

Life can feel heavy sometimes. Maybe you’ve been carrying stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, or emotional exhaustion for longer than anyone realizes. You might feel overwhelmed trying to keep up with everything while quietly wishing you had a space where you could finally exhale and just be yourself. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to have it all figured out. I work with adults, teens, and children who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and everyday challenges while learning healthier ways to cope, heal, and reconnect with themselves.
