Grief counselors and therapists in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Hey, I’m Niki — I’m a therapist who loves working with people in all stages of recovery, whether you’re newly sober, years into it, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself after major life changes. I help adults explore behavioral patterns, long-term sobriety, self-discovery, and identity as they figure out who they are beyond the challenges they’ve faced.

I know from both personal and professional experience that healing isn’t linear. As a mom and someone who’s faced her own mental health and substance use challenges, I bring understanding, honesty, and zero judgment to our sessions. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are — no pressure, no pretense.

Life can feel overwhelming when stress, relationship challenges, difficult experiences, or emotional struggles begin affecting your ability to feel connected to yourself and the people around you. You may find yourself stuck in unhealthy patterns, struggling to communicate effectively, or carrying emotional burdens that continue to impact your daily life. Whether you are navigating challenges as an individual, within a relationship, or as part of a family system, therapy can provide a space to better understand what is happening and begin creating meaningful change.

Welcome - I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Chelle, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, offering Telehealth services to individuals & couples.

Do you love your partner but can't seem to stop arguing? Has an affair been revealed & you're not sure what to do after trust is broken? Are your past life experiences haunting your present thoughts? Are you successful on the outside but feel empty on the inside? I can help guide & support you from a place of struggle to peace with your partner & self. I specialize in domestic violence recovery, trauma bonds, relationship issues, divorce, betrayal recovery, and life transitions.

I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and EFT, Gottman and trauma informed therapy, along with a holistic mind-body-soul perspective. I provide a safe, compassionate space to help you heal, grow, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

I am an LCSW with a mission to untangle trauma and transform lives.

I've observed that many are unaware their struggles stem from unresolved childhood trauma. I focus on addressing core beliefs formed during these transformative years.

As I too struggled with unhealthy patterns of my past. Hitting rock bottom was my turning point. I immersed myself in retreats and inner child work, finding strength in spirituality. Healing myself and paying it forward to help others heal too.

The strength to heal isn't something I give you — it's already within you. My job is to help you find it.

I work with individuals, families, children, adolescents, and older adults, offering a personalized approach to care that adapts to each person's unique story, needs, and goals. Whether you're navigating something acute or something that's been quietly weighing on you for years, this is a space where you can speak freely, without judgment, and without having to have it all figured out first.

My goal is simple: to create an environment where you feel safe enough to be honest — and supported enough to actually move forward.
