Madelyn Biles
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I know that taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. I work with adults 18+ who are ready to care for their mental and emotional well-being, whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or major life changes. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where you feel truly heard, understood, and encouraged. Using approaches like IFS, CBT, DBT, ACT, and positive psychology, I’ll tailor our work to fit you—your story, your strengths, and your goals. My role is to walk beside you as you heal, grow, and discover the version of yourself you’ve been hoping to meet.

Denise Bike
Psychologist, PhD
Are you driven, creative, and self-aware — but inside, you feel anxious or on edge? You already know the skills to use and how to do all the “right things” to cope, yet the anxiety doesn't go away. Anxiety might be embedded in your body, placing you on constant alert to try and stay safe. Through an IFS or Constellations intensive, we can partner with your nervous system by inviting new ways to release old patterns of fear, fawn, and freeze. You can learn to create an inner sense of safety that embodies true calm, presence, and connection.

Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Cindy Yu is a bilingual (English and Mandarin Chinese) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of both Florida and Alabama. She is well-trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, solution-focused therapy, Bowen’s theory, Gottman Method, CBT, and more. Cindy believes that each client is comprised of unique yet charismatic components such as personal upbringings, religious beliefs, and cultural backgrounds, that all contribute to narrate a cohesive personal story. This fundamental ideology has cultivated her into offering her clients unconditional positive regard and respect, while tailoring her treatment orientations to better serve each client’s individuality. Her passion is to help individuals, couples, and families to understand the misunderstood, to discover hope from the hopelessness, to speak the unspoken, and to seek possibilities through the impossible. Cindy also has a background in the medical field where she has obtained a strong foundational knowledge for medical diagnosis and medications. She understands the intricacy between medical burden and mental health.
