Grief counselors and therapists in Saint Petersburg, FL

I am licensed in Florida with 10+ years of professional work experience combined in conflict resolution and mental health counseling. I believe that empowerment is an essential and powerful tool in the healing process. I obtained a doctoral degree in conflict resolution and a master's degree in counseling psychology. I have experience in helping clients with LGBTQ+ related issues, relationship issues, life transitions, family conflicts, coping with grief, coping with loss, motivation and self-esteem. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

I had many years of corporate experience prior to getting my degrees in psychology. I use this expertise to help with problem solving as I did when I managed a large employee base.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Melanie D’Souza, LMHC with six years of experience helping adults work through depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I am also trained in EMDR, an evidenced-based approach that can help process and heal from past experiences that continue to affect the present.

I help military members, first responders, and law enforcement professionals carry the weight of service with more strength, clarity, and support through therapy built around their world. If you’re dealing with trauma, stress, addiction, relationship strain, or the silent pressure of always having to hold it together, you don’t have to face it alone. My goal is to offer a space that feels confidential, grounded, and free of judgment—where you can talk honestly without clichés, forced vulnerability, or someone who doesn’t understand the culture you come from.

I'm Rebecca Colas, a bilingual (English/Haitian Creole) LCSW based in FL. Also, providing telehealth services to clients residing in VA. In my profession I have had the honor of supporting individuals across the lifespan. I help individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, stress, and major life transitions and yes, sometimes we even laugh along the way. No matter what you’re carrying, my priority is to meet you exactly where you are and create a space where you feel genuinely supported.

Welcome! I'm here to offer you a safe space to work through past or current trauma, anxiety, or depression.

I have over a decade of experience as a licensed mental health counselor and consider myself a lifelong learner. As a therapist who has been in therapy, I have seen the benefits in my personal and professional life.

I received my bachelor’s of arts degree in psychology from West Chester University and my Master’s of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gannon University.

Clients often describe me as someone who is "easy to talk to", has a great sense of humor, and is down to earth. After 26 years as a full time therapist, I bring a blend of compassion, experience, and wisdom. I welcome the opportunity to meet and hear your story.

Recently I also published a best selling book, Self-Love Workbook For Women: Release Self-Doubt, Build Self-Compassion, and Embrace Who You Are. (2020) and Be Kind to Yourself: A 52-Week Workbook to Nurture Your Beautiful Self Through the Good Times, the Messy Times, and All the Seasons in Between (2022).

Hi! I'm Elijah. I am a LCSW and work with people navigating Addiction, Mental Illness, Trauma, and Stress. I offer a space that feels safe, respectful, and genuinely collaborative.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a background in psychology, nursing, and addiction counseling. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and life stressors.

As both a clinician and educator, I stay up to date with evidence-based practices to provide high-quality, personalized care. Whether you’re new to mental health treatment or continuing your journey, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
