Healing Space Therapy Collective
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-QS, CST
At Healing Space Therapy Collective, we believe therapy should feel both grounding and transformative. Our practice was built on the idea that meaningful mental health care requires depth, warmth, and clinical skill—not just coping strategies, but real understanding.
We work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, communication breakdowns, intimacy concerns, and life transitions. Many of our clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who appear “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck internally. Others are couples who love each other but feel caught in repeating patterns they don’t know how to change.
Our therapists are trained in psychotherapy and sex therapy and provide identity-affirming, kink- and ENM-aware care. We balance compassion with thoughtful feedback, helping clients gain insight, build emotional regulation skills, and strengthen their relationships. Sessions are collaborative, intentional, and tailored to your goals.
We offer secure online therapy throughout Florida, making it easier to access consistent, high-quality mental health care from wherever you are. Whether you’re seeking clarity, reconnection, healing, or growth, we’re here to support lasting change—not just temporary relief.

You've been holding it together for your job, your relationships, and your family. But when was the last time someone checked on you? At Elevating Growth, we work with high-functioning adults, college students, young professionals, and high-achieving women and men who are quietly struggling with anxiety, burnout, stress, and the weight of life transitions.

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 Florida, Alabama, and Illinois. 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.

Deborah Redmond
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Your time and money are valuable and you want these Telehealth Video Sessions or Telephone Sessions to be a wise investment. I am highly experienced and I will quickly understand what makes you tick. We can flexibly focus on your different issues while finding common threads where they exist to help you create the life you truly desire. My only agenda is helping you understand your current situation, where you want to go, and helping you get there safely and sustainably. We may be able to do this in as little as a handful of sessions if you are currently addressing one or two issues only. We may take more time to help you make bigger changes. Either way, you are always welcome to "come back for tuneups" whenever you want to work on something new in your life.

Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
You deserve therapy that already gets you, not therapy where you spend half the hour explaining yourself. I'm Sarah, a queer, neurodivergent, non-monogamous, kink-informed LICSW with 14 years of experience, and I created Courageous You for people whose full selves have sometimes felt like too much for the therapy room. My specialties are Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Somatic EMDR therapy - deeply supported, body-informed approaches that can help when trauma, depression, burnout, or long-held patterns just haven't shifted through talk therapy alone. I share these communities and identities myself, so you truly won't have to translate your life for me.

Carlos "Charlie" Garcia
Registered Psychotherapist, RMHC, CCC, MSc, CCTP
Something feels off, and maybe you've been pushing through it for a while now. Anxiety that won't quiet down. A relationship that's started to feel more like work than connection. Questions about who you are, what you want, or what you actually need, that you haven't had space to sit with.
That's what therapy with me is for.
I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, identity, and sexuality, relationship challenges like communication challenges, trust issues, conflict, and repair, and intimacy and sexual concerns that often go unspoken. I'm not here to hand you a protocol. I'm here to help you understand what's actually happening for you and move through it in a way that fits your real life.
If you've been waiting for a space that's honest, real, affirming, and doesn't feel clinical or preachy, this is it.
