Hi, I'm Joella! With 18 years of dedicated experience as a Nurse Practitioner, I bring a wealth of clinical expertise and a deeply compassionate approach to mental health care. As a Florida native, I am committed to serving my community by offering flexible access to care, including evening and weekend hours, to ensure that support is available when you need it most.

My journey in healthcare is rooted in a dual-certification that allows me to view wellness through both a physical and emotional lens.

Family Nurse Practitioner: Graduated from Frontier University in 2008. Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner: Completed post-master’s certification at Florida State University in 2021.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're managing anxiety, ADHD, trauma, chronic health concerns, or the emotional weight of trying to keep everything together. You may feel exhausted, misunderstood, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or frustrated by challenges that affect your relationships, confidence, and daily life. I work with adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, chronic illness, physical health concerns, depression, bipolar disorder, stress management challenges, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by circumstances beyond their control and looking for practical tools that create meaningful change. Together, we'll build on your strengths, identify obstacles that may be keeping you stuck, and develop strategies that support healing, resilience, and long-term emotional wellness. My goal is to help you feel empowered, capable, and confident as you move forward.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate life's challenges with confidence and support. With years of experience in behavioral health, child welfare, crisis intervention, and family services, I understand that seeking help can be a difficult first step, and I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space for healing and growth.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and self-esteem issues. Together, we will identify your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward meaningful goals that support your overall well-being.

I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Informed Care. My goal is to empower clients to build resilience, improve emotional wellness, and create lasting positive change.

Whether you are facing a current challenge or seeking support for personal growth, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.

My specialty & love are helping individuals at transition points of their lives, with a focus from Adolescence to Mid-life and beyond. These are times of dealing with many changes in one's life. These changes may include family, friends, and your role in community. This is also a time when we are surrounded with "Transition Myths" i.e.; How we should be feeling, acting and thinking. Some of these are Memory Loss, Depression, Physical Fitness, Sexuality. My goals are to educate and separate myth from fact while helping YOU ease life's transitions so YOU can continue YOUR life with new hopes, dreams, respect and dignity.

I have over 15 years of therapeutic services with individual, couples and family.

I provide a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and confidential space where you can express yourself freely. My priority is to create an environment where you feel heard, valued, and respected. I believe therapy is not “one-size-fits-all.” I tailor my approach based on your unique needs, experiences, and goals, using evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Strategies.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and I will walk alongside you. I empower you to set the pace, make decisions, and discover solutions that work best for you. While we address challenges, I also highlight your resilience, strengths, and personal growth, helping you recognize the progress you are making along the way.

I understand that life can be overwhelming, and I will never expect perfection from you. I approach my work with authenticity, empathy, and a sense of humor when appropriate because I believe healing happens best when we can be real.

There is no "right way" to heal, and setbacks are part of growth. I am here to support you in moments of triumph as well as struggle, without pressure or unrealistic expectations. If something isn't working for you, we can adjust. Your comfort and trust in this process matter, and I encourage open communication to ensure therapy is effective and meaningful for you.

Ultimately, my goal is to help you gain clarity, build coping skills, and create a life that aligns with your values and well-being. You are not alone, and I am honored to be part of your journey.

Hi! 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.
