Hi! My name is Judy Durdan and I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in both Florida and Connecticut. I graduated with a Master's Degree in Social Work from Fordham University in 2001. I have extensive experience working with a variety of people in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I've worked with people who are diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness, forensics, homelessness, and veterans, as well as people who just want an ear to hear them and help guide them through the steps to feeling whole. My goal is to help adults in difficult times figure out how to address those issue through thoughtfulness and mindfulness, utilizing their own strengths and experiences, as well as, a few skills I have to offer. The treatment is an agreed upon approach created through support and understanding, and my approach being adjusted to your needs. Please contact me so that, together, we can find the most convenient and beneficial time that we can meet to tackle those issues. Enjoy your day!

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 20-years-experience. I have worked with clients in a variety of settings from community mental health, to private practice, to residential substance abuse. My clients have presented with many different concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, panic disorders and addiction to name a few. My firm belief is that despite the life experiences a person may have had, they are never broken. My job is to point them toward that healthy part of themselves and help it to strengthen. My goal is to help people rediscover their innate peace, happiness, and well-being. My counseling style brings together cognitive, holistic, and integrative. I don’t have a cookie-cutter approach to counseling, because every individual is different, and so the counseling approach needs to be flexible to develop the best fit for that person. I see the counseling relationship as a partnership where we work together creating a plan of treatment that will help you work toward goals that are important to you. Counseling can be a big step into a future that is more fulfilling. Let’s make your life the best it can be. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I’m Whitney. If you've struggled with trauma, self-doubt, insecurities, anxiety, and/or depression. You're in the right place. About my clients: My client's want to feel better. Plain and simple. They have a keen sense of when something is off about themselves and are ready to work towards a solution to getting their problems resolved. Life can be overwhelming these days. Therapy can provide you with insight on how to get out of the rut. I look forward to working together and helping you find clarity so that can get back to living your life on your terms. My background and approach: I have a background in individual and family therapy. I received my master’s degree in social work from the University of Central Florida, and I received my bachelors degree in psychology from the University of Central Florida. I use a combination of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and wholistic therapeutic practices when working with my clients. Many clients believe that it is the therapist’s job to make them feel better. While feeling better may be the outcome of counseling it is not always the case in every situation. My main role is to help you identify the root cause and triggers of your uncomfortable emotions, and to perhaps help you understand yourself more clearly and provide insight as to why some emotions are surfacing so intensely. You and I will work collaboratively to develop the capacity to endure intense emotions and channel them properly. By doing this you will be able to increase your ability to disperse/ relieve your symptoms at a quicker rate. Mental mental health challenges can be a persistent thorn in your side, but the thing about thorns is that they can be pulled out. Let me help you pull out your "thorn" and get you on the path to a life where you manage your mental health and your mental health doesn't manage you.

Hello! My name is Jordan King. I have my Masters in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling with a focus in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of South Florida.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, motivational interviewing, and family systems theory among other theories to help my clients succeed in their initial reasoning for wanting therapy.

Welcome to a space of healing and growth! Treating behavior alone does not resolve the root issue. I help individuals navigate challenging times by uncovering and healing underlying traumas, which in turn alleviates symptoms of depression and anxiety. I also offer compassionate guidance for adults facing the pain of relational betrayal, equipping them with practical tools to heal and move forward. In our sessions, clients frequently share that they feel truly heard, supported, and safe to explore their emotions without fear of judgment. As we work together, they begin to notice tangible progress, equipped with practical tools and strategies to manage their challenges. They leave sessions feeling more grounded, empowered, and confident, knowing they have the skills to navigate whatever life throws their way. The journey toward healing is deeply personal, and I’m committed to creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and capable of real growth.
