Hi! I’m Joanne, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. The fastest way to help yourself with life's challenges is thru counseling. You are in the right place! Thank you for your interest, and let's begin the journey. I have 15 years of experience working with clients (ages 5- 85) that want to make improvements to their life. I can help you explore your feelings, behaviors, and help you better understand your wants and needs. Many people are feeling different and alone, others are not coping with life changes, still others are struggling with addicitions, and some are trying to avoid problems all together. Maybe you can identify with one or more of these issues, or maybe you have other problems to talk about. You are not alone. My approach to counseling focuses on your strengths, promotes wellness, and helps you make changes that will guide you to a happier life. You will find me to be an intuitive and active listener. I have a diverse range of therapy approaches and utilize various techniques, but I will always keep your needs and your progress in mind. We will have continual collaborative evaluation to make sure your life is moving in the right direction, and I have the tools to help you exceed your expectations of counseling. Let's work together to achieve your goals!

Joannne is not only extremely professional, but she calm and caring. I like that she checks in, in between appts. Just to make sure I’m doing ok.

Using this service has been very helpful for me especially during the pandemic when local counselors were not taking new patients and I knew I needed help. She has been a good fit.
