Hi, I’m Bradley. I have my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Palm Beach Atlantic University, where I also earned my under graduate degree in Musical Theatre. Yes, you read that right - I was a theatre major. Before going back to school for my masters, I performed professionally as an actor and singer throughout Central and South Florida as well as Los Angeles. Along with performing I also was a teaching artist for several years where I taught elementary, middle school, and high school. I also worked for Disney Musicals in Schools where I helped build sustainable musical theatre programs in title one elementary schools. I am a dad of two, a lover of standards and jazz music, a fitness enthusiast, and have a passion for making and drinking coffee. As a therapist, I incorporate person centered therapy where we work together to uncover what’s going on under the surface and bringing that to awareness. I also infuse solution focus to develop healthy coping mechanisms and to help clients rediscover who they are. I am also trained in Trauma Focus Hypnotherapy. I specialize in anxiety, depression, wellness, and complex trauma.

My name is Glynn Suzanne Vincent. I was born in Orlando. I love living in this city and have loved raising my family here. For the last 13+ years I have worked as a program analyst with the U.S. Army. I am a professional "noticer" - managing funds and timelines. But, over the last years, I felt a heart-calling to shift towards the mental health counseling field/profession. In August 2021 I began my FT masters level coursework in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program at Palm Beach Atlantic University Orlando. I am a learner, a listener, and my graduate level education at PBA is equipping me to support clients on their mental health journey. I will provide a therapeutic space allowing clients to be safe and brave. We can explore important questions like, "Where are you?", "Where were you?", and "Where do you want to be?" In my coursework and personal curiosities, I find that I lean towards several counseling theories but have openness to find accommodating approaches or tools to support the needs of my clients.

I'm Laura, and I'm thrilled to have you here. As a dedicated therapist and health coach, my journey has been all about guiding individuals like you towards embracing their true potential by nurturing every aspect of their wellness - the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions. My approach isn't just about addressing isolated challenges; it's about embracing the entirety of your being. When we work together, we'll delve into the rich landscape of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. We'll explore how these elements interconnect, creating a holistic understanding of who you are. This process isn't just therapy - it's a journey of self-discovery and transformation. So, let's embark on this adventure together. Whether you're seeking guidance to overcome challenges, find clarity, or unleash untapped potential, I'm here to provide a safe space for you to explore, heal, and thrive. Together, we'll navigate the intricate threads of your story and create a tapestry that radiates with resilience, wisdom, and the beauty of your uniqueness.

My name is Jeanine Alexis, I am a Florida native and was born and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida. I moved to Orlando where I received my Bachelors in Psychology at the University of Central Florida in 2019. I am currently achieving my Masters in Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of West Alabama where I am on track to graduate in August 2024.

As a therapist my passion is learning about who you are as a unique individual and helping you manage obstacles in your life by finding the best regime that works for your journey. I am a big believer in proper mental health and personal well-being as the foundation to the healthiest self care. When we work together I plan to provide a comfortable and safe environment for you to speak your emotions and difficult feelings.

Hi, my name is Sara Edwards. Do you ever feel like you lose yourself in your relationships, career, and trials of life? I’ve been there and it took a few good therapists to help me regain my sense of self. Now, as a therapist myself, seeing my clients begin to feel empowered, hopeful, and confident is why I love my job. I’m currently a student at Palm Beach Atlantic University in the Clinical Mental Health Program. My favorite therapeutic approaches are Person-Centered Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. Most importantly, you and I will collaborate together to find what works best for you. I enjoy researching and learning new approaches to help those struggling with a variety of challenges, including codependency, trauma, and anxiety. Having been through the therapy process as a client, my hope is that you feel welcome, safe, and free to be yourself the minute you walk through the door for your session.

Hi! I’m Keenan Geddes and I am a graduate student at the University of Central Florida, seeking a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Within my program I’ve been trained to work with people of all ages, from young kids to adults, individually or as couples/families. My main approach to therapy is using a person-centered theory, which means I’m focused on building the most therapeutic relationship with you. This allows me to introduce  elements from other theories that match whatever concern you bring into the room as we collaborate throughout the process. Part of my focus during sessions will be on the relationships in your life and how they can influence mental health. As I continue to learn and grow, I have found interest in researching grief, the impacts of relationships on mental health, and tools to help manage anxiety and  depression. Ultimately, I want to assist you in building your confidence to make the changes in life that you need.
I was born in Utah and grew up hiking in the mountains. Now living in Florida I have grown to love spending time at the beach with my wife. Recently I’ve been learning to surf, speak Spanish, and searching for the best place to get pizza in   Orlando.

Hi everyone,

I’m Joy, a graduate intern at UCF, working toward a masters in clinical mental health counseling.
I live laugh love therapy because the safe space it opens for growth. I approach therapy with a Person-centered approach, meaning our relationship is to be based on congruence, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. Therapy isn’t one size fits all, so we’ll find out what works best for
you.

I have coursework in play therapy, but love any opportunity to connect with people. I have had previous experiences working with young adults and adolescents in areas like anxiety and depression, core beliefs, and life adjustment. Outside of counseling, I love to be reset with watching Seinfeld with my two cat children, a good bowl of soup, or get moving with weight training, a simple walk, or something more restorative. With my own share of counseling experiences as a client, I know how overwhelming it can be to find a fitting therapist. My hope to help ease some of obstacles of searching for help, and provide a comfy environment from the get go!

mountain love in Denver. Now she's setting up shop in Orlando, where you might catch her barefoot on the beach between sessions.

When she's not guiding you to inner peace? Monica's probably busting a move (she loves to dance!), indulging in some serious foodie adventures (hello, dark chocolate!), or just soaking up the sunshine.
Oh, and did we mention she's a total pro? Monica's worked with top athletes, entrepreneurs, and basically anyone else crushing life who needs a little stress-busting support. She's your go-to for:
