I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a nursing and counseling career spanning over 25 years. I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Developmental Psychology from Ohio State University in 2000, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Otterbein University in 2006, a Master of Science in Nursing from Otterbein University in 2013 and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (Psychiatric-Mental Health Lifespan) at Rush University in 2016. I've taught as a clinical instructor and preceptor at both undergraduate and graduate levels. I have experience working in inpatient, outpatient and residential settings with patients ranging from adolescents to octogenarians. Much of my career has been specializing in substance use disorders, although I am happy to treat a broad range of mental health, as well as dual diagnosis. I am passionate about mental wellness and I enjoy helping people be the best version of themselves!

Hi, my name is Kiersten Kelley, LCSW (she/her). I am here to provide access to quality teletherapy and mental health and social justice resources. As a mixed Lesbian woman, I see every day how environments and systems can affect our mental health and ability to heal and feel safe. That is why social justice and counseling go hand in hand in finding liberation. I specialize in working with LGBTQ adults with autism, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma.

My approach to therapy is rooted in meeting you where you are. I believe healing begins in a space where you feel safe, understood, and accepted without judgment. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, creating room to explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion.

I have a passion for helping clients understand how their past experiences have shaped the way they think, feel, and respond today. As we begin to recognize these patterns, they often become less overwhelming. Rather than judging the ways you've learned to cope, we'll work toward understanding them with compassion while exploring new ways to meet your needs and navigate life's challenges.

I view therapy as a collaborative process. My role isn't to tell you who you should be, but to help you reconnect with the strengths you already have while developing new tools to support your growth. Whether you're working through anxiety, trauma, grief, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you build a deeper connection with yourself, cultivate greater self-compassion, and develop a stronger sense of your own worth. I believe meaningful change happens when we feel seen, understood, and empowered to move forward in a way that feels authentic to who we are.

My name is Chemal (Sha-mall). I have a Latino - Caribbean background and prescribe to the label of islander. Where I’m from they use the term “crazy people” without clear understanding of what it truly means, but as a therapist and person, I believe differences exist beneficially and I try to understand them all. I aspire to be my best everyday inside and outside of therapy. I love nature, basketball, family and exploring the mind. Therapy is not just a career for me, but a passion.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. I am a certified EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist and trained in Brainspotting as well. I specialize in working with people who feel overworked for other people in their life while feeling underappreciated and left alone, feeling confused about who they are and what they can do to gain a sense of control back in their life.

Everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow. As a licensed mental health therapist, I’m dedicated to creating that space for my clients, fostering a journey of healing and transformation.

Originally from the Midwest, I found my heart and home in Florida when I moved here for school in 2014. The sunshine, warm community, and opportunities to grow professionally made me stay! When I’m not working, I love spending time with friends and family—movie nights, game nights, and afternoons at the park with my nephew are some of my favorite ways to recharge and stay connected.

With over five years of experience, I’ve worked closely with children, adolescents, young adults, and families to address a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, PTSD, grief, sexual trauma, childhood trauma, self-esteem struggles, bullying, and LGBTQ+ issues. I also have experience supporting individuals with autism, antisocial personality disorder, and schizophrenia.
