Hello, and thank you for your interest in working with me as your therapist. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), licensed in both Florida and Texas, with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida, and have had the privilege of working in a wide range of settings—including homeless shelters, crisis stabilization units, and outpatient treatment centers. These diverse experiences have shaped a compassionate, person-centered approach to therapy. My clinical practice integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I specialize in working with men who may find it difficult to express intimacy and affection, and those experiencing challenges related to anger, irritability, performance anxiety, or emotional disconnection. I offer a supportive space where clients can freely explore their thoughts, emotions, and personal goals without judgment. Many of the individuals I work with are seeking greater balance, fulfillment, and clarity in their personal and professional lives. Therapy can offer a safe and confidential environment to explore these challenges and begin the process of healing and growth. Together, we’ll work on building healthier coping strategies and uncovering deeper insight into the issues you may be facing. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and begin this meaningful work togeth

Hello! My name is Latonia Jennings and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I also have a MA in Psychology and am certified as an Education Specialist. I have worked as a professional Social Worker for over 20 years in various fields including child welfare, couples counseling, military veterans issues, substance abuse, criminal justice, domestic violence, and bereavement. As a clinician for approximately 6 years, most of my work has been with grief and loss, couples counseling, domestic violence, and life issues. I believe that good clinical social work is not only compassionate and encouraging, helpful and goal oriented, but also educational. You should not leave a clinical experience just feeling better about your current issue. You should leave with confidence that you have gained new knowledge and skills to help you with future challenges as well. I also believe that individuals are their own experts in what they need. My experience as a clinician has taught me that people have an innate ability to overcome life's challenges on their own; they just need a little help sometimes figuring out how. My favorite quote is: a bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you don't negotiate the turn. You might be feeling like you are at the end of the road right now. I see myself as a co-pilot on your journey of self helping you to navigate the tough terrain and negotiate the turns in order to get back on track. I consider myself to be quite eclectic in my approach to clinical social work. I typically incorporate elements of solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into my work with clients, as I have found these two approaches, or a combination thereof, to be most effective with a broad range of mental health concerns. Depending on the goals you identify and my professional expertise, I will select the best approach for you, educate you on the approach, and make adjustments as needed to ensure the best possible outcome for you. Thank you for taking the time to review this profile. I hope I have an opportunity to work with you but if not, I wish you the best of luck finding the right clinician to help you in your journey. Be well.

Hi there! ¡Hola hablo Español! I started my career as a therapist as a graduate intern at an elementary school in Boston, Massachusetts. The passion I had to help children and different struggles drove me to help other populations. My second year internship was in Worcester, Massachusetts through UMASS Medical school at an inpatient hospital for adolescents with severe and pervasive mental illnesses. Most of these adolescents stayed for a minimum of 6 months and had a history of trauma and abuse, Schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. I was also able to work with their families proving counseling, psycho-education, support, etc. I moved back to my home state of Florida to begin a new path of working in an outpatient and residential substance use clinic for adults. I spent 2 years working with adult females struggling with substance use, trauma, mental illnesses (e.g depression, anxiety, trauma, and Bipolar Disorder). I ended up starting a more permanent path in 2019 at a Children's Advocacy Center. I see children, adolescents, and adults struggling with various forms of trauma. Most of my clients are victims of sexual abuse, domestic violence, struggling with grief/loss, struggling with life changes, sexuality, etc. I have worked with a variety of populations in the past but my main focus are individuals dealing with any form of trauma and coping with life changes. Fortunately, these situations can be worked through with the proper tools, support, and a helping professional. Therapy can be extremely beneficial in addressing these struggles. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) in the state of Florida. I use an eclectic approach of using a variety of different therapy modalities that can be used and applied for different struggles. One therapy approach is not a one size fits all. I use what is best for you and your needs! However, I am more prone to use trauma focused therapy approaches such as EMDR, TF-CBT, and DBT. However, all of these modalities help individuals use coping skills, emotion regulation, etc. that can be applied for everyday use.

HI, my name is Heather. I have experienced the benefits of counseling personally, and I understand the courage it takes to make the decision to take that first step, especially if the concept is new to you. My goal is to provide a comfortable and supportive environment for you. I work in a very empathic and non-judgmental manner. l I have worked in health care most of my life-first as an RN, and later as a Nurse Practitioner. I realized that many of my patients were struggling with stress, anxiety and depression, so I decided to become educated as a Psychotherapist. Since that time, I have been able to help many people suffering with these issues as well as those with PTSD. I have worked with people with traumas including those who have been sexually abused or assaulted. I use several therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, rapid resolution therapy, solution focused therapy and person centered therapy. I am also trained and certified as a life coach, which is helpful for people working on career goals as well as health issues and weight loss. Actually this is very helpful for everyone who wants to make positive changes in their life. If you feel stuck where you are in life, and want to move ahead, Coaching can help with that.
