I believe healing is built through connection, trust, and feeling understood. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and feel safe throughout the therapeutic process.

With over 15 years of experience in behavioral health, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, grief, and other emotional concerns. I recognize that each person’s experience is unique, so I tailor therapy to your specific needs, strengths, and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

I see therapy as a collaborative process. Instead of directing you, I work with you to build insight, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and develop practical strategies for meaningful change. My approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in compassion, honesty, and respect.

Whether working individually, with couples, or with families, my focus is to help you better understand yourself and your relationships, navigate challenges more effectively, and build resilience. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with tools to support lasting growth and well-being.

Hi!

My name is Alexis. I have been practicing as a clinician for 15+ years. I have seen, heard and experienced it all with clients. There has not been one time where I have judged a person or their behaviors in a negative manner. I strongly believe we are all good people deep inside yet sometimes we are faced with challenges that bring out not the best sides of us. Sometimes we are all in situations where we so strongly want to respond a certain way, yet can't bring ourselves to do so. Sometimes life happens TO US and we are uncertain how to proceed with confidence and calmness. I have been trained in several forms of therapy that will allow me to help an individual or couple in whatever stressor they find themselves dealing with. The most important aspect of my therapy is to teach the client the tools they need to wake up each morning and live their life with appreciation and peace.

I work with children, adolescents, adults and couples. I am trained in several trauma therapies including EMDR and Trauma Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am greatly drawn to CBT and Solution Focused modalities as well. People reach out for therapy for all different reasons. If you find yourself in a situation causing you distress and you are seeking help for it, give yourself a pat on the back, the first step in healing has been accomplished.

I am excited to meet you and I appreciate you taking the time to read my bio.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that mental health is vital to creating a balanced life. I understand that change is difficult, and it is not easy to ask for help! I enjoy working with people aged 18 and over with a variety of challenges. I have specialized experience in depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, personality disorders, substance use and addictions.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in Brevard County, Florida. I'm authorized to serve clients throughout Delaware and Florida.

My focus is supporting clients through life transitions, trauma, and grief. Most of my clients are experiencing a combination of the following symptoms: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and social withdrawal—symptoms that often stem from unresolved traumatic experiences.

In therapy, I help clients explore and process the people, places, and events that contributed to their trauma. Together, we work to reduce the power of triggers and painful memories so clients can focus on their current goals, relationships, and overall well-being.

Additionally, I am a certified Adoption Competent Therapist. As an adoptive parent and former foster parent, I am passionate about supporting children and families in the child welfare system and post-adoption. I help families build, repair, and strengthen attachment, while navigating the unique challenges that can arise from early loss and transitions.

I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than eight years of experience in healthcare and a strong background in psychiatric services. I began my medical career in Cuba, where I earned my medical degree from the University of Medical Sciences of Havana “Calixto García.” After moving to the United States, I earned my nursing degree and later completed a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in family practice.

Throughout my career, I have worked in psychiatric care, women’s health, transitional care, pain management, and primary care. I support adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns. I am committed to helping each client feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their care.

I promote the healthy development of children, adolescents, adults and families.

I work with people who feel stuck and are ready for change. Whether you’re facing stress, relationship issues, past hurts, or life transitions, I’m here to help you navigate what feels overwhelming. I’ve provided counseling to adults, youth, and couples in both community mental health and private practice.

Hello! My name is Mirella, but most people know me as “Ella”. I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social worker with more than 14 years of experience in the field of clinical social work. I have mostly worked with clients in crisis. I consider crisis to be determined by the person experiencing it. I am here to walk you through whatever curveballs life is throwing at you. Whether you need support through a rough patch with work, family, friends or medical needs. Whether you need encouragement through a separation, divorce or unexpected life event. Whether you need accountability and solution focused therapy to get you thinking forward and moving up! My mission is to meet you, collaborate with you, tailor our sessions to meet your needs and serve you to the best of my abilities.

If you’ve been carrying anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, or simply feeling like life has become harder to navigate, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of counseling experience and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
