Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Palm Coast, FL

Making the decision to start therapy is a profound investment of your time, energy, and vulnerability. If you are looking for a blank-slate clinician who simply nods and listens, we might not be the best fit. I offer a highly engaged, malleable, and unflinching partnership.

My approach is rooted in the belief that while the work of untangling our lives is deeply structural, the room itself doesn't always have to feel heavy. I bring a grounded warmth to my practice—which means knowing how to sit quietly in the gravity of a difficult truth, but also knowing when to break the tension, exhale, and find the light in the sheer complexity of being human. I won’t just sit in silence while you do all the heavy lifting; I am an active collaborator who adapts to exactly where you are.

Hi! My name is Wendy Pugh. I graduated with a master's in social work from The Ohio State University, and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I enjoy working with people of all ages and from all walks of life. I specialize in treating LGBTQIA issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.

Hi, I’m Lizandra — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida and U.S. Air Force Veteran passionate about helping others navigate life’s most challenging transitions. I specialize in military and veteran mental health, trauma recovery, and faith-informed counseling for individuals seeking balance, purpose, and peace.

Whether you’re working through anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or life changes, my goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I draw on both evidence-based practices and my own experience as a veteran to help clients process emotional wounds, strengthen resilience, and rebuild confidence from the inside out.

I’m especially passionate about working with those facing military-related stressors, reintegration challenges, and identity transitions, as well as women navigating seasons of growth and rediscovery. My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in both clinical expertise and faith-based understanding.

Together, we’ll focus on developing practical coping strategies, improving communication, and creating sustainable emotional wellness—so you can move forward with clarity, courage, and renewed strength.

I received both my Bachelors and Masters degrees from Central Michigan University. I have worked in hospital settings as well as private practice. I have had great success with the virtual format and am thankful for such ease for my clients to have sessions without the trouble of travel. I work primarily with teens and women, working to build skills to manage a variety of snuggles.

Greetings!

I’m excited to welcome you to work with me. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with years of experience working with individuals who chose to focus on themselves in a holistic manner. I believe our minds, bodies and souls heal best when we address them jointly.
