Cassandre Charnel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Have you experienced trauma, abuse, relationship challenges or loss? Do you struggle with codependency? Do you have difficulty setting healthy boundaries? Do you want to build self-esteem and confidence? Have your attempts to create meaningful changes in your life been met, repeatedly with short-term- success? Are you losing hope with the prospect of a prosperous meaningful future?
Hi! My name is Cassie, and I'm a Christian, faith-based therapist licensed in Florida and Ohio and located in the sunny (and sometimes rainy!) state of Florida. The questions posed above speak to challenges many of us are regularly faced with but may find it difficult to speak about. Instead, we may find ourselves harboring feelings of shame and guilt which blocks us from pursuing and receiving the help we need.
My practice is exclusively dedicated to supporting those who wish to incorporate their Christian faith into the therapeutic process. I am passionate about serving Christian clients who are seeking support in navigating life’s challenges through a Christ-centered perspective. I believe in the power of faith to guide healing, and I am honored to walk alongside individuals who desire therapy that aligns with their beliefs.
Ultimately, my desire is to help you reach a place of freedom and peace, where you can begin experiencing incremental yet impactful improvements to your overall wellbeing so your life and relationships can bear the fruit they were always meant to.
I believe there’s hope for everyone, even those feeling utterly defeated in this season of their lives. If you’re here, then take it as evidence; the time for healing is now.

Rich Painter, M.S.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do you want a deeper sense of connection or a greater sense of purpose in life? You may be dealing with stress, fear, marriage issues, dating difficulties, confusion, life transitions, low self worth, career direction, or something else impacting your life and relationships. You might have a mistrust of men or women based on past, hurtful experiences. You are not alone. Imagine yourself living with greater peace, freedom, trust, creativity, courage, and empowering love. Getting you there is my specialty. With your life experience and my 20+ years of training and experience, we can team up to make your life and relationships more fulfilling. With my guidance, fear will be overcome, self-esteem will grow, and understanding will emerge. You can have the loving relationships you deserve, and the life purpose you desire. My clients often say they appreciate the calm demeanor and trust they feel with me. Together, we can help you craft the authentic life you were meant to live.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #114765 by the state of California and #3281 by the state of Florida. I offer professional counseling, life coaching, and spiritual direction for individuals, couples, children and families. I draw on the insights of psychological theory as well as spiritual resources for healing. I believe that by exploring unmet needs from the past, people can develop healthier relationships today. By working through painful losses and wounds, people can release unhelpful beliefs about themselves and others in order to live more fully in the present and with hope for the future. We are hurt in relationships; we are also healed in relationship, and the therapeutic relationship can be a useful resource. Areas of focus include couple, marital, and singlehood issues, family/parenting dynamics and attachment, anxiety, depression, adolescents and young adults, career coaching, abuse and trauma, spiritual growth and struggles, gender and sexuality issues, loss and grief, and pornography/addictions. I'm a certified Prepare-Enrich Counselor and offer premarital and marital couples counseling, and I'm also a certified Family Wellness Instructor. I'm a professional member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy as well as the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. My approach integrates Attachment Theory, Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Life Coaching, and is collaborative, supportive, non-judgmental, and tailored to fit your needs. If you are ready to take the next step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
