Dr. Moises Ramy
Hello, My name is Moises Ramy. I am a licensed mental health therapist in the State of Florida and a doctor of psychology. I graduated as a Doctor of Clinical Psychology from Carlos Albizu University, Miami Campus and completed my doctoral internship at the Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Lexington, Kentucky. At that time, the mission of FMC was a federal prison/hospital for incarcerated females with medical and psychological conditions. During my doctoral internship, I completed three clinical rotations. Two at FMC, in the Crisis Wing and in the General Population Unit and an elective rotation at Ridge Behavioral Health Sstem (formerly Charter Ridge Hospital of Lexington), Lexington, Kentucky assessing suicidality of adolescents in crisis from the Lexington area and the Appalachians. My clinical spectrum covers female and men from diverse populations, members of the LGBTQ community, homeless veterans, and young college students struggling with moderate to severe adjustment issues. During these clinical years, I have acquired vast experience helping clients from all walks of life who suffer from depression, anxiety, stress, interpersonal and relationship conflicts, bipolar disorder, sexual and gender identity issues, abuse and trauma, and co-occurrent substance disorders. I have offered most of my clinical services in diverse prisons and rehabilitation centers, private and community mental health hospitals, and veteran homeless organizations. My exposure and experience working with these populations have extraordinarily helped me gain more awareness about the human greatness and become a more empathetic, non-judgmental and non-directive clinician. My whole idea about psychotherapy is helping clients to help themselves so that they work on healthier solutions, develop strength to cope with their daily challenges and regain competence and control of their life.

Theresa Grodi-Kennon
I am a licensed social worker with extensive experience in the mental health field. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals for over 17 years treating adolescents teens and adults. I have had a private practice the last few years helping people in the community on an outpatient basis. I am passionate about helping people survive and thrive through adversities. Often times depression, stress, an daily struggles run us down and debilitate us from being the best version of ourselves. It leads us to doubt our strength and abilities. and we become self destructive and loose our sense of self. Therapists like myself help to re program, hit the reset button and build your foundation again. We often need someone to believe in us and motivate us to make change and become invigorated. New coping skills and habits along side of a healthy, private, honest listener can help us begin to heal and strive in our own lives. It is a risk to disclose and discuss deeply buried feelings and insecurities which is why a therapist is helpful to label our feelings and help us reframe our thoughts and begin to unburden ourselves so we can become healthy and balanced again. Take a step and allow one of the therapists to help you get started today. I encourage you to be open and honest to change. Reach out to me or another therapist and start your journey. Take a deep breath hit the start button and begin............ I like to offer a safe, emotionally sound and inviting appointment for my clients. I believe in a non judgmental supportive and encouraging environment. I like to work as a team to help you to return to balance, confidence and success. Problem solving, listening and offering resources to work on the issues you feel are important to you. I assess the presenting problem, provide empathy, compassion, and problem-solving skills. Often I find just having someone understand us and support us in our own unique way is the best approach. I have worked with grief and loss issues in clients. I have compassion and tools to help navigate the survivor feelings and healing of those who experience the loss.
