Aloha, I am Dr. Edward Suarez. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 20 years of experience consulting, training and providing mental health services to a wide range of individuals around the world, including Florida, Hawaii and recently, headquartered in Morocco helping U.S. Peace Corps volunteers adjust to life in Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. I received my doctoral degree from the University of Hawaii, specializing in cross-cultural approaches to severe mental illnesses (such as schizophrenia, bipolar and major depression) but since then have expanded my expertise into areas of adjustment, stress & coping, anxiety (including social anxiety, OCD and phobias) My training and therapeutic approach focus on using best practices such as client-centered, trauma-informed, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including mindfulness and motivational interviewing, designed to help my clients efficiently assess and address problems in the here and now in order to achieve timely and lasting improvements. Usually this begins with a holistic assessment and focus on each person's health, diet, nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, socialization, stress coping skills and self-care regimen, in addition to any additional specific concerns of each client I serve. My therapeutic approach emphasizes rapport building, empathic listening, radical acceptance, genuineness, and helping client's develop interpersonal (communication), intrapersonal (mental hygiene) and problem-solving skills so they can build on therapy to independently maximize their potential. The therapeutic relationship involves mutual collaboration in creating a client-based and client-driven plan so we can honestly assess and document progress and client readiness to successfully graduate and move on in a reasonable amount of time, typically just 1-2 months.

Hello and Welcome. My name is Barbara Barr and I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience. Throughout my years of providing professional counseling, I have worked with individuals, teenagers, families and couples. My counseling focus addresses an array of issues including depression, anxiety, sexual, physical and emotional abuse and trauma, eating disorders, addiction issues, individual and adolescent counseling, couples counseling, and family relationship issues. My counseling style has been described as warm, sensitive, supportive, helpful and effective. I strive to help my clients feel safe, comfortable and trusting in me as their clinician, and comfortable to explore thoughts and feelings in a safe and trusting place free of judgment. It is important to me that you feel understood, really listened to, and confident in my ability to help you achieve your goals. I believe in emphasizing each person’s internal feelings, thoughts and sense of basic human worth. It is important for me to help individuals understand their own potential, accept themselves and others as unique individuals, and help individuals to take a problem-centered approach to life situations. Online counseling may be new for many individuals, yet it is being described as extremely comfortable, convenient, and very effective. Our work together will be structured to meet your specific and individual needs and comfort level. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, and I will be happy to respond with any information you may need, including reviewing the process with you. Live video sessions are scheduled between 6:00am EST. - 2:00pm EST; I am looking forward to this journey with you and look forward to hearing from you.

My name is Dhaima Chin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my masters degree from Florida Atlantic University in 2011. I have worked in many populations in this field. I currently have a private practice and I utilize three specific types of therapy with my clients. These therapies are Solution-focused therapy, which is often called "brief therapy," and focuses on what clients would like to achieve while in therapy. I also use cognitive behavioral therapy which focuses on the role of our thinking in regard to how we feel and what we do. The third therapy that I use with clients is solution focus therapy which empowers clients to own their abilities in solving problems. I can help you regain insight and get you back on track. I provide a non-judgmental space, which helps to create a safe and comfortable zone to express yourself. My goal is aimed specifically to help you identify the problem, find a solution, and provide empowerment tools.

I am a psychotherapist/mental health counselor licensed in the state of Florida with over 30 years of experience working in a community mental health setting. While I do not provide counseling anymore in my current professional capacity, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns particularly those with severe mental illness including those with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addiction, thought process disturbances, and affective/mood problems. On a limited basis, I also helped individuals who experienced emotional abuse. My counseling work is through the community mental health agency for which I work which I integrated in my administrative capacity to enhance my clinical expertise. I am an eclectic counselor who conducts my assessment from a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic and social learning perspective. My counseling approach is direct and interactive that combines cognitive-behavioral, social learning, motivational interviewing, solution-focused, and rational-emotive approaches. It is my belief that you have the solutions within you to overcome the challenges that you are facing, and I am here to guide you and uncover your inner strength. It does take courage to reach out for help in your search for a more fulfilling and happier life, and an even stronger courage to take the first step towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support you in your journey. I begin to see subscribers in the evenings and prefer that you evaluate your schedule and examine my published schedule here and schedule a session that best fits your availability. I will also try and accommodate your schedule if you will be so kind enough to let me know. I look forward to work with you.

Hello! I’m looking forward to helping you work through any life stressors by equipping you with the necessary tools to live your best life. I have a masters degree in art therapy and I am currently a registered art therapist and a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. I have 11 years of experience working with clients affected by trauma and abuse, ADHD, anxiety, autism, self-esteem issues, abandonment, and interpersonal relationships. My motto is that even a broken crayon can still work- in other words even if we are broken from life situations we still have the potential for greatness and success. I love being able to apply my art as therapy skills to provide my clients for an additional outlet on top of traditional talk therapy to express themselves in less vulnerable ways. Finally, I believe therapy should include some grit and grace- there are going to be days when you’ll have to grit your teeth as you work through hard issues but if you give yourself grace during that time and allow yourself to be forgiving towards yourself and others, you will flourish.
