Hi there! I'm Sasha. I have over 13 years of counseling experience, 8 of those years as a licensed mental health counselor, providing support for adults of all ages. I received my Masters of Education in mental health counseling from the University of Miami and since have worked with individuals struggling through depression, anxiety, relational issues, PTSD, addiction, and loss of purpose and motivation.

You don't have to have everything figured out to be here.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, and I’ve been helping people work through meaningful change since 2011.

I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and addiction, with a focus on building resilience and a stronger sense of self. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQ+ individuals, those navigating recovery and the HIV/AIDS community. I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Southern Methodist University and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University.

Hello! I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. My approach is rooted in the belief that mental wellness is a collaborative journey, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard.

• Anxiety & Mood Disorders: Helping clients manage depression, panic, and generalized anxiety.
• ADHD Management: Providing comprehensive evaluations and personalized strategies for focus and productivity.
• Trauma-Informed Care: Supporting individuals navigating the long-term effects of difficult life experiences.
• Medication Management: Using a "less is more" philosophy to find the most effective pharmacological support when needed, always paired with supportive therapy.

Hi! I’m Kristi Myers, PMHNP

I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Tallahassee, Florida, where I was born and raised. I have a BA in Finance and a BSN from Florida State University as well as an MSN from Wilkes University as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. After completing my baccalaureate nursing education at Florida State University, I was drawn to major medical centers, which led me to North Carolina—a place I had come to love during my summers there. In my professional journey, I had the privilege of working at both the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University Medical Center, gaining invaluable experience in high-level evidenced based patient care. Now, back in my hometown, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive mental health care to my community.

As a professional counselor of over 30 years, with a wide range of life experience, my approach is real. I offer genuine empathy and will meet you where you are.

I create a safe place for you to share, explore and freely express your struggles.

I specialize in various areas and modalities. I value my relationship with you and believe that a trusting relationship is essential to the healing process. I will assist you with identifying and processing unresolved issues/grief/trauma utilizing psychotherapy techniques and methods. And help you overcome thoughts/behavior which are hindering your growth.

I look forward to having the opportunity to join you on your personal journey.

I am a bilingual Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who provides compassionate, patient-centered mental health care in both English and Spanish. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. I believe mental health care should be collaborative, and I work closely with each person to understand their unique experiences, challenges, and goals.

Hello and welcome.

I believe that true wellness comes from addressing the whole person.

I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and supported but this is that place...

Welcome! Taking the first step toward mental wellness takes courage, and I am here to support you in a safe, non-judgmental space. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe in a holistic, compassionate, collaborative, and patient-centered approach to care. My goal is to build trust and develop a strong therapeutic relationship with you.

My name is Tom Kauffmann and I am a licensed clinical social worker with ten years experience. I was awarded a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Utah in 2015, where I attended classes on their campus in Salt Lake City. I also graduated from a one year licensed alcohol and drug counseling program (LADC) in 2013 at the same university prior to getting my Master's degree. I specialize in using cognitive behavioral techniques and strategies to help folks investigate how they think about things.

I have been a counselor for 40 years, working with individuals, couples, families and groups with psychological as well as addiction issues. I have extensive experience in inpatient as well as outpatient settings. I am eclectic in my evaluation and treatment methods, which gives me flexibility to treat individual needs. Primarily, I use cognitive-behavioral techniques. Many of my clients suffer with depression, anger, and anxiety (panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder); all of which impact potential addictions. I also treat couples and families to better understand their dynamics and to improve their communication skills.

My background consists of psychological testing and understanding personalities. This has helped in my work with children, adolescents, & families. I enjoy working with gay and straight couples, to help them with empathy and communication. I do extensive cognitive work as well as teaching techniques with people suffering from anxiety, anger, and addictions.

I encourage self-awareness to stimulate one's potential. Understanding oneself is essential to reducing anxiety, depression & anger (and in improving relationships). I teach relaxation, meditation, & self-hypnosis techniques to improve personal balance. I guide couples and families to improve relationships through empathy, acceptance, and communication.

If you are looking for a therapist who can sit with the full picture- the child whose ADHD is shaping the whole household, the teen working through an eating disorder, the parent navigating divorce or the adult who's been carrying it for years- that's the work I've spent the last 23 years doing.

I'm an LMHC licensed in Florida, and I've worked with children, adolescents, families, and (over the past three years) adults across homes, schools, outpatient settings, and social service agencies. I have particular experience with military connected families, blended families, and clients navigating ADHD, eating disorders, anxiety, mood and bipolar disorders, grief, and the kinds of life transitions that shake your sense of self.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience providing individual and family therapy to children, adolescents and adults. My clinical background includes work with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, foster care youth, and individual navigating high-stress life transitions.

As a bilingual therapist (English and Haitian Creole), I am especially passionate about supporting individuals and families within multicultural communities where mental health may be misunderstood or stigmatized. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow.
