Family therapy and counseling in Key West, FL

My name is Toni Gayle, and I am a Qualified and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a background that bridges clinical care, education, and holistic wellness. I hold a Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Florida and have worked across correctional settings, public schools, and nonprofit organizations — giving me a uniquely broad perspective on the human experience.

I am also the founder of The Real Tonic Wellness Brand, where I blend mental health principles with practical, whole-person wellness strategies. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, or simply trying to grow into a better version of yourself, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine compassion to every session. My work has always centered women, families, and communities — and that heart has never changed.

Hi!

My name is Alexis. I have been practicing as a clinician for 15+ years. I have seen, heard and experienced it all with clients. There has not been one time where I have judged a person or their behaviors in a negative manner. I strongly believe we are all good people deep inside yet sometimes we are faced with challenges that bring out not the best sides of us. Sometimes we are all in situations where we so strongly want to respond a certain way, yet can't bring ourselves to do so. Sometimes life happens TO US and we are uncertain how to proceed with confidence and calmness. I have been trained in several forms of therapy that will allow me to help an individual or couple in whatever stressor they find themselves dealing with. The most important aspect of my therapy is to teach the client the tools they need to wake up each morning and live their life with appreciation and peace.

I work with children, adolescents, adults and couples. I am trained in several trauma therapies including EMDR and Trauma Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am greatly drawn to CBT and Solution Focused modalities as well. People reach out for therapy for all different reasons. If you find yourself in a situation causing you distress and you are seeking help for it, give yourself a pat on the back, the first step in healing has been accomplished.

I am excited to meet you and I appreciate you taking the time to read my bio.

My goal is to help you better understand yourself and create lasting, authentic change.

I have over 25 years of professional experience in addition to having a dual degree in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy. I have been one who always believed that you never stop learning. I am humbled by my vast interactions with both individuals, and or couples who have allowed me to learn and grow as a person from them. This is what separates me from my colleagues. My training is derived from not only you but gaining valuable experience by working in Hospital Emergency Rooms, Inpatient Psychiatric Hospitals for Both Children & Adults, Substance Abuse -Dependency Clinics, Correction Mental Health as well as Alzheimer's-Dementia and Nursing Home Facilities. In addition, working in Private. Practice. I am extremely comfortable working with people of all ages, genders and ethnicities.

Hola, bienvenida/o.

Buscar ayuda no siempre es fácil. Muchas personas llegan a terapia sintiéndose abrumadas por la ansiedad, la tristeza, los conflictos en sus relaciones, el estrés o experiencias dolorosas que han cargado en silencio durante mucho tiempo. Si ese es tu caso, quiero que sepas que no tienes que enfrentarlo sola/o.

Soy psicóloga graduada de la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas (UCLV), en Cuba, y continué mi formación profesional en Estados Unidos en Albizu University. Mi experiencia trabajando con la comunidad latina me ha permitido comprender los desafíos emocionales, familiares y culturales que muchas personas enfrentan mientras intentan equilibrar sus responsabilidades, relaciones y bienestar personal.

Ofrezco terapia en español para adolescentes y adultos que experimentan ansiedad, depresión, trauma, baja autoestima, dificultades en las relaciones, conflictos familiares, procesos de duelo y transiciones importantes de vida. También trabajo con personas que desean comprenderse mejor, fortalecer su autoestima y desarrollar herramientas para afrontar los desafíos cotidianos de manera más saludable.

Mi enfoque terapéutico es cálido, colaborativo y libre de juicios. Creo que cada persona tiene una historia única y merece un espacio seguro donde pueda sentirse escuchada, comprendida y valorada. Juntos exploraremos los patrones que están afectando tu bienestar emocional, identificaremos tus fortalezas y desarrollaremos estrategias prácticas para ayudarte a alcanzar cambios significativos y duraderos.

Creo firmemente que la terapia no solo ayuda a aliviar el sufrimiento emocional, sino que también puede convertirse en una oportunidad para crecer, sanar y construir una vida más plena y satisfactoria.

Será un honor acompañarte en tu proceso hacia una mayor comprensión de ti misma/o, bienestar emocional y crecimiento personal.

I'm a trauma-informed therapist in New York and Florida who works specifically with moms of explosive boys. My training is rooted in understanding the nervous system — which means I work beneath the behavior, not just at the surface of it. I'm not going to hand you a sticker chart or tell you to pick your battles. I understand what you're actually dealing with — and I take it seriously.
