Dr. Christina J. Gonzalez
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LMHC, NCC
Are you facing challenges in your life? I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Lori DeBlaker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Is everyone telling you its ok to be a little blue? Do you feel depressed, disappointed in the way life is going? Infertility, becoming a mom, being a mom of young children or teens, even approaching an empty nest all can cause stress and anxiety. Even life transitions such as a career change, loss of a job, diagnosis of a chronic illness or chronic pain can cause you to be stressed or anxious. Imagine a life filled with joy again, life like it used to be. Often this may mean learning skills that can help you deal with depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief/loss, chronic pain or a new medical diagnosis or improve your relationship/marriage. I enjoy working with women from 18-50 however I don't limit my practice only to this population.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Clients work best with someone they trust and feel comfortable with. One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I get is how easy it is to talk with me and they appreciate that I'm "real". I believe that a pinch of empathy and a dash of compassion makes the perfect recipe to provide you an accurate reflection needed to do meaningful therapy work.
