Fernandina Beach has a long history of battles and occupations from early colonial times, but has settled into a nice quiet suburb of Jacksonville. Life too can sometimes be filled with small battles and changes in allegiance. When life seems uncertain and you are not sure how to get to the other side, it helps to have someone impartial to talk to.
Counselors in the Fernandina Beach area are available to offer that guidance. These licensed therapists are able to give you a fresh perspective and discover your own allegiances and goals. If you are finding yourself caught in an internal battle, contact a counselor today.

Cory Sasloglou
My name is Cory Sasloglou. I have been working in the field of counseling and social work since 2017. In the first three years of my career, I worked with the homeless, low-income, and at-risk youth populations in the city of Miami. I have been working full-time in private practice since the beginning of 2021. I work with clients managing a myriad of issues at varying levels of severity. I believe true growth and healing comes in moments of loving authenticity. We often grow up in environments that push and pull us in so many directions. The expectations can be overwhelming. We feel like we don’t know who we are or where we’re going. The feeling of security we’re looking for can be found within our cores. In choosing to be authentic to ourselves, and listening to our own needs, we can find the strength to take responsibility for our lives. My number one priority in therapy is creating the sense of safety we need to be truly vulnerable. I work diligently with you to gain an understanding of where your concerns and fears come from, assist you to find meaning in the events of your life, and guide you in defining your authentic self. If you can commit to reconnecting with your core, I am committed to guiding you.

Deborah Hilyard
Hi. I am Deborah K. Hilyard and have been a licensed mental health counselor for over 30 years in Florida. While I have worked in different venues during that period of time and have seen a diverse group of people from all aspects of life, we all share basic wants and needs. I completed my graduate degree in counseling at the University of Memphis in 1988 and worked in the campus career counseling office during graduate school years. I later worked for the U. S. Air Force and U. S. Navy in their family centers setting up a new transitional program for service members leaving the service and then later mental health counseling for the service members and their families. Service members and their families are under some of the greatest stress with the uncertainties in their lives, along with clinical depression when feeling as if they have no control of their lives. As might be expected there are many relationship issues with the separations that families often go through. I have worked with clients through their relationship issues, anger, anxiety and depression frequently. I have also worked with many clients with parenting issues, career challenges and work discord. I have also worked in the foster care system doing comprehensive assessments on the children, their previous and current environment and their parent(s) or guardians. My experience includes working with victims and their significant others in regards to emotional, physical and sexual abuse. The past two years I have been at Betterhelp working with issues of every kind. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines client centered, cognitively-behavioral, solution focused and rational-emotive counseling, although I will tailor the dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! Specialties * Stress and Anxiety * Relationship Issues * Trauma and Abuse * Depression * Grief, loss * PTSD * Aging & Caregiving Issues

Rachel Salerno
I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in Florida with over 25 years of professional work experience. Sometimes, "therapy" seems to be identified and connotated with an idea that the psychologist or therapist has the answers to all of one's challenges. I believe therapy to be a place in which you can express yourself without judgement, there is likely a natural rapport and connection. One has to feel comfortable in this process. Who are we. Who am I. The multitude of variables and influences that influence us. This carries on through our life as we work, have children, and suffer loss, change, and attempts to see our lives as worthy. We are human. I can tell you my work history, that varies from state psychiatric, to homeless, addiction, to the elderly. I have worked with clients suffering from depression, bipolar, anxiety, trauma. I am EMDR certified, technique helping those that suffer from trauma and anxiety. I believe all connected. It is all encompassing. Our childhood history follows through the multitude of variables we face as we grow older. To follow our hearts, to self-actualize, to be authentic, to self-love. So much to say, so little space, it's only a conversation and then you go from there. I believe that you are the expert of your story, I am here to listen to it.
