Anthony Kesner
My practice is based on the understanding that the degree of enjoyment and happiness in each of our lives are closely tied to the quality of our relationship with our self and our relationships with others. If you are experiencing a lack of inner peace, of enjoyment and happiness in your life and relationship (s), or if this has been a pattern in your past relationships that you desire to resolve, I encourage you to contact me. I am a seasoned therapist with over 25 years of experience, that has ranged from helping persons living in the inner-city of Chicago as they learned to recover from an addiction and abuse/ trauma- related experiences, to helping families displaced from Hurricane Katrina, as well as working with men and their families, teaching and coaching the development of improved self-image, interpersonal, and fathering skills to heal and re- build their relationships affected by sexual, emotional, physical abuse, and neglect in their family histories. Of course, over the years I have had many persons with less severe issues and focus on here-and-now concerns that are affecting their quality of life. Whether you choose short-term or longer-term counseling I have expertise in multiple therapy modalities but always view each person with a multi-cultural lens so I may understand each person in the contexts of which they experience their own unique life. I offer you a warm, non- judgmental, honest atmosphere that invites you to explore your relationship strengths and build new skills that can enhance your current, as well as future relationships where you can experience the joy, warmth, and happiness you seek and deserve.

Michelle Skoien
Resiliency means “bouncing back” from difficult experiences. I believe everyone is resilient. My passion is to help others learn to deal with difficult experiences and ‘bounce back’. My goal is to help you to have balance in your life (physically/intellectually/emotionally/spiritually) through skills, which you will learn about during our sessions, in a comfortable welcoming environment. Dealing with difficult experiences are what led me in the direction of becoming a helper for others. I am grateful to have learned about, and been able to help, individuals for the past twenty five years who have battled many types of experiences. I can help you learn skills to help with feelings associated with grief and loss, whether due to a trauma or the loss of a loved one. I also teach skills to help children learn to cope in the classroom environment. As you learn and practice these skills, you can expect to gain a sense of calmness and confidence. My belief is that “…suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” Romans 5: 3-4. My goal is to try instill the belief in you, that there is always hope.

Lynn Gordon
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in sunny South Florida, I've been lucky to work with individuals facing addiction and mental health challenges for over five years. I earned my master's degree in social work from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, where I gained valuable experience in providing individual and group therapy services for the treatment of substance use disorders and co-occurring psychiatric conditions at all levels of care. My approach is client-centered, and I tailor my techniques to meet your unique needs. Whether we connect via phone, or chat, my goal is to support you in achieving your mental health and wellness goals. My experience has prepared me to help with a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, codependency, career-related concerns, trauma, and grief and loss. I'm dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel at ease exploring your struggles and working toward positive change. I understand that finding the right therapist and the right mode of communication is crucial for effective therapy. While many clients prefer live video sessions, I want to assure you that phone calls and live chat can be equally effective, especially if you’re waiting for a therapist to become available. 1. **Flexibility and Convenience**: Phone calls and live chat sessions offer greater flexibility, allowing you to connect with me from anywhere, whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go. This can be particularly helpful if you have a busy schedule or limited access to a private space for video calls. 2. **Immediate Support**: Sometimes, waiting for a video session can delay the support you need. With phone calls and live chat, you can receive timely assistance and continue your therapeutic progress without interruption. 3. **Comfort and Privacy**: Some clients find it easier to open up and discuss sensitive topics without the pressure of being on camera. Phone calls and live chat provide a level of anonymity that can make it easier to express your thoughts and feelings. 4. **Effective Communication**: Research has shown that the therapeutic relationship and the quality of communication are more important than the mode of delivery. Phone and chat sessions allow us to build a strong, trusting relationship and work effectively towards your goals. **Let’s Get Started** If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to help. Feel free to reach out and schedule a session. Together, we can find the best way to communicate and work towards your well-being.
