Hello, My name is Candice Silebi. I currently live in South Florida, but I was born and raised in Barranquilla, Colombia. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 25 years experience. I work in outpatient settings doing individual counseling. I will provide a safe, non judgmental and open minded space to ventilate your problems and concerns while providing and learning the necessary coping mechanisms to deal with them.

Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, I strive to support, encourage, educate my clients. Together we'll work to help strengthen awareness, communication, increase personal growth, improve problem solving, self-confidence and coping skills among others. We will also Identify strengths and goals. Nevertheless, I can also utilize different therapeutic techniques depending on the needs of each client.

Hi! My name is Manuela and I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. I am passionate about helping individuals unpack and work through some of the things that keep them stuck in negative cycles. Sometimes it feels like you are making progress but then take a few steps back. While this is part of our growth, it can bring feelings of frustration, irritability, guilt, shame, and other emotions accompanied with the belief that things will never change or that you can’t change.​ This sometimes will lead to depression and just a general dissatisfaction with life. You feel like you’ve lost your spark. ​Let’s dig deep, and unpack the stories you are telling yourself about yourself and about others. Let’s work on getting you to a place where you can see things clearly and are able to own your emotions…not let them own you. ​This stuff can be so hard! Some of us live our lives carrying hurt and pain that we have never shared with another person. Or perhaps you tried to share it and were minimized or dismissed. That hurt won’t heal if you keep it all inside and never confront it. We cannot heal what remains hidden. ​I am also able to integrate faith in our work together if this is something you would like. When utilizing a faith-based approach, I combine psychological perspectives with wisdom found throughout Scripture only when it is relevant and appropriate to your circumstance. Reaching out for help takes so much courage and vulnerability, and it can be really scary. I want you to know that when we work together, I will do everything in my power to create a sense of safety and trust so that you feel comfortable bringing all of your "stuff" to our sessions. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. Let’s work on figuring out those hard places where you seem to get stuck and tackle those together. I look forward to working with you!

Hello, I'm Dr. Linda Chamberlain, a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Addiction Professional. I've been a practicing psychotherapist for over 40 years working with a wide range of populations and concerns. I know that making an initial contact with a therapist can be challenging. Congratulations on taking the first step! If we decide to work together, I'll want to get a deeper understanding of who you are and what's brought you here, how we can best work together, and your goals and aspirations . I value the unique perspective and experience that you bring to our collaboration. I'll want to find out about you and what you're hoping for when we begin therapy and invite you to ask me any questions you have. Building trust is so important to our relationship. I have experience and expertise that can be of help to you, but you are the expert on you. My job is to assist you in becoming the person you most want to be. I use various approaches to therapy including humanistic/existential perspectives, cognitive approaches, Buddhist psychology, and mindfulness techniques. My job is to find out what is most helpful in assisting you to reach your goals. Change and personal growth is often challenging and sometimes extraordinarily difficult, but the transformation that can occur is so valuable. I have been honored to witness people emerge from the fear and suffering that constrains them and become more of the person they long to be. Therapy is the journey toward your better self. I am always delighted when I have the opportunity to be a companion, consultant, and guide in that process. I look forward to getting acquainted and to our work together. I'm ready when you are....

I want to help you discover who you are and the incredible potential that you possess to overcome obstacles in your life and truly live the life that you deserve to live. I offer a nonjudgmental environment that can support your journey of self-fulfillment and happiness.

My interest in individual and social psychology developed when I was an undergraduate at Howard University in the latter part of the 1960s. While working my way through school I somehow also found time to provide volunteer services at various non-profit agencies in around the Washington DC area. After graduating with a degree in Sociology I worked at Federal Government clerical jobs crunching numbers but I really wanted to work with "real" people. I soon started working in case management and substance abuse counseling in New York City. I was recommended to enter a special accelerated graduate program in Clinical Social Work at Adelphi University by the director at one of the agencies. The Clinical degree launched my entry into a more research-based and specialized area of the field which had grown with the myriad social changes that were taking place in the country (substance abuse; HIV epidemic; two paycheck households; etc.). I moved to Florida in the 1990s I had to make adjustments to a culture that I was unfamiliar with but quickly assimilated to. I had the good fortune of working for some of the best agencies as well as having a successful run as an independent practitioner. I eventually spent my last ten years of employment as a mental health therapist for the Florida Department of Corrections before retiring in 2014. Over the years I have worked with individuals and groups from all walks of life and with a wide variety of concerns. I have also done presentations at schools and churches on the issue of emotional disorders and ways of identifying some of the symptoms in students. My training in Clinical Social Work would be categorized as a psychodynamic approach however, I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Approach and have been a certified trainer and Supervisor of Masters level therapists in the use of that method. Since retirement I have done some part-time quality-control work for a Community Mental Health Center and have been active in doing volunteer work with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, a local Hospice Center, and the American Cancer Society, however, these have been put on hold since the emergence of the COVID pandemic.
