The face of someone who looks for support-looks like mine. Sometimes it's struggling with anxiety or depression. Maybe diabetes and the toll the healthy management takes on your life. It could also look like a young adult feeling stuck with so many opportunities in the world. It could look like someone who has lost their job or home and turned to Alcohol or Gambling to ease the pain. Or someone who just can't shake things they may or may not label as TRAUMA in their lives. More important than any of these situations, is the question: How do we regain CONTROL over Happiness and OUR own lives? I believe in taking a holistic and collaborative approach. This means we work together, as a team to improve your whole life-not just your mental or emotional health. There are multiple ways we can go about finding this answer, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EFT, EMDR, Addiction models, Mindfulness-based modalities, Motivational Interviewing and, more. I have been supporting individuals just like you for over 14 years. I am committed to helping people learn how to live their BEST lives! My practice focuses on targeting Anything that stands in your way of functioning as your Best self!

Dhaima Chin
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 want you to know that I recognize the courage it takes to ask for help, in this case to seek out therapy. We all know difficult times are real. I have been a bilingual Marriage and Family therapist since 2006, and my style is client-centered, meaning I believe it is important to meet you right where you are today emotionally. I also draw from CBT techniques. As a clinician it is important to me that you feel safe and heard. I thrive to offer you a confidential, safe, judgment-free space where you can process your goals, learn coping skills, find purpose, and look for solutions. I believe that learning new ways to tackle life’s challenges is brave and can be achieved through mindfulness, compassion, and active listening. Therapy is a journey; healing is a process and a team effort for both client and therapist. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me.

Michelle Filippi-Robb
Hi! I'm Michelle – a 40-something cisgender heterosexual woman with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I co-own a small private practice with my husband (also a therapist), and while we don’t have human kids, we do have multiple dogs who I am over the top with as a proud "dog mom." While this isn't something typically discussed in therapy, I’m liberal-leaning in my values and have a personal faith, though I wouldn’t describe myself as traditionally religious. A Few Things to Know: Therapy Fit Matters: If I’m not the right fit for you, that’s okay! Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. You’re welcome to unassign and continue your search—your comfort is most important. My Approach: I practice Person-Centered Therapy, which means: You set the pace—I'm here to listen, not to judge or direct. I believe you are the expert on your life, and I work alongside you with empathy and support. I focus on building trust, validation, and a space where you feel safe to be yourself. About Me: I was born with Spina Bifida and use a wheelchair full-time. This perspective deepens my empathy and reminds me that no two experiences are the same—even when the issues look similar on the surface. My Style: I’m laid back and authentic while remaining professional. I don’t typically assign homework or suggest reading, though I might occasionally if it feels helpful. Who I’m Not a Fit For: I’m not trained to work with active addiction or severe trauma/PTSD-related symptoms. My Focus Areas: Grief of all kinds (people, pets, jobs, life stages, etc.) Depression Life transitions (divorce, career shifts, big changes) Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m here if you think we’d be a good match. .
