Dr. Pamela Bratton
I am a Florida Licensed Psychologist and I work with adults and mature teens. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities, providing a warm supportive environment where treatment is customized to best suit each individual. Sessions are collaborative and based on a fundamental respect for each client’s unique circumstances, talents, and goals. During my long career I have helped people who are dealing with a wide variety of concerns including family and relationship difficulties, workplace issues, depression, anxiety, loneliness, stress, and much more. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and needing assistance in sorting things out; or maybe you’re looking for a sounding board – someone to listen and offer feedback; or if you’re on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, I would be very happy to provide the assistance you are looking for to go from where you find yourself to where you want to be.

Carol Elder
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, low self esteem and career struggles, as well as those struggling to overcome addictions. I believe the most important part of working with an individual is to develop a strong therapeutic relationship with mutual respect as I work with my clients. I am always curious and seek first to know my client and understand why he or she is looking for help with a problem. I initially started my career working with employees in a corporate setting with a MS in Industrial psychology. I developed a passion for helping individuals make positive changes in their lives and went back to school to become a licensed MFT. As my client I will help you develop goals for change and then to implement a plan to make positive changes in your life. I use a variety of tools such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution Focused therapy and Narrative therapy. I am a believer in the tenants of positive psychology as a means to help you make positive changes in your life. I greatly look forward to meeting and working with you as a client. Together we can do the work and make positive changes in your life.

Deborah Maqueira
Hello, congratulations on taking an important first step towards a healthier you. I would love to help you with your next steps in that journey. Let's get to work on eliminating the thoughts that are holding you back. I have helped hundreds of people navigate through severe depression and crippling anxiety. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, but will tailor my approach to meet your needs. I use lots of strange analogies, but they seem to help trigger new insights for people and help them to change unhelpful perspectives that they may have been holding on to for years. You will be afforded empathy and respect while we do this work. Be prepared to be challenged, but with some laughs along the way too.

Jennifer Gasparri, MA
Hi there! I’m Jennifer and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida. I have been in the field and working with clients for over a decade. Throughout that time, I have worked in various settings, including community mental health, private practice, inpatient behavioral health, and within public schools. I am also a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor (CIEC) and I specialize in helping people struggling with eating disorders/eating and food-related issues, body image concerns, low self-esteem, and anxiety. I also specialize in and have spent a great deal of time working with couples, helping them to improve communication skills, increase emotional intimacy, heal from infidelities and broken trust, learn effective ways to manage conflict, and strengthen the foundation of their relationship. I am a Level 1 Gottman Method trained therapist and a Certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator. I am also trained in play therapy and have extensive experience working with children, teens, and families in order to help manage concerns ranging from family conflict, divorce/separation, parenting concerns, behavioral issues, reunification, and grief and loss. I am also a Certified facilitator of the Systematic Training for Effective Parenting Program (STEP). I primarily utilize a person-centered approach, meeting clients where they are by implementing empathy, active listening, and a non-judgmental environment. I believe YOU are the expert of your own life. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). When I’m not working with clients, you can usually find me outdoors (I’m a true, born and raised Floridian!): cycling, hiking, running, gardening, paddleboarding, or reading a book on the beach. I also love to travel, try new recipes in the kitchen, and most of all, spend time with my family. I believe in a warm, fun, collaborative style of therapy, and I am passionate about providing a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to gain the insight and awareness they need in order to express themselves, heal, change unhealthy patterns, and reach their goals. You’ve already made a huge, brave first step toward healing and feeling so much better. I am ready when you are to join you on your continued journey. You are not alone. I look forward to getting to know you and learning how I can help.
