Michael Epstein

Michael Epstein

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Sarasota, FL


Hi, I’m Michael, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 27 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate both difficult and meaningful life transitions.

Whether you’re struggling with stress, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, anxiety, or feeling stuck, I offer a compassionate, direct, practical, and occasionally humorous approach to therapy. My work is grounded in Systems Theory, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Cognitive-Behavioral strategies, helping clients better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that shape their lives.

I have extensive experience working with military families, first responders, and individuals facing crisis situations. My goal is to help you develop greater emotional resilience, stronger relationships, and practical tools that continue serving you long after therapy ends.

I strive to create a judgment-free environment where honest conversations can lead to meaningful change. I offer evening and weekend appointments and can occasionally accommodate other scheduling needs. As a single father, I raised three children over a 15-year period, an experience that deeply informs my understanding of life’s challenges and responsibilities. My Australian Shepherd service dog may occasionally be present during sessions unless you prefer otherwise.

Nicole Brown

Therapist

I'm Nikki Brown — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of clinical experience across some of the most human corners of this work: drug and alcohol rehabilitation, hospice and end-of-life care, and private practice. I've sat with people in the hardest moments of their lives, and I haven't looked away yet.

I specialize in grief, loss, trauma, and anxiety — but what ties my work together is a deep belief that the people I see deserve a therapist who has actually been in the room with pain, not just read about it. My sessions are warm, direct, and collaborative. I work with individuals and couples, adolescents through seniors, virtually throughout Florida.

Odalys Valencia

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Miami Lakes, FL


I have more than 30 years of experience in the behavioral health field and have been in private practice since 2003. I work with adults, older adults, adolescents, individuals, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, grief, stress, relationship challenges, ADHD, anger, impulse control, substance use concerns, cultural or ethnic issues, and major life transitions. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology in Cuba in 1982 and later completed my Master’s degree at Florida International University in 1998. My background has shaped a warm, culturally sensitive, and practical approach to therapy.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult at first. My goal is to help clients feel safe, respected, and supported as they take that courageous first step toward feeling better and becoming a healthier version of themselves.
