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.

Yourdeline Sertyl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I started Safe Space Counseling Services to create the kind of therapy environment I saw so many high-achieving adults needing ; one that feels both supportive and structured. Many of my clients appear strong and successful on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt. I provide online therapy across Massachusetts to help you slow down, build self-trust, and create healthier patterns that support long-term emotional balance.

Dr. Nichole Vincent
Psychologist, PsyD
Not your typical therapist. No passive nods, no distant “mm-hmm” moments.
You deserve a space where you can be your unfiltered self, explore your thoughts, and make meaningful progress without feeling like you're talking to a blank wall. That’s where I come in.
Think of our sessions like catching up with a good friend over your favorite drink. I’ll ask how your week’s been, what book has you hooked, or how that recent trip turned out, not out of obligation, but because I genuinely care. I’m here to celebrate your wins, sit with you in the tough moments, and challenge the narratives that keep you stuck. And when needed? I’ll give you the honest, compassionate feedback that helps you move forward.
Clients often tell me they feel instantly at ease with me, like they can finally breathe. I bring warmth, humor, and a down-to-earth approach that makes the therapy room feel like a safe, inviting space where vulnerability is welcome. No judgment. No pretense. Just real talk, real growth, and real support.
I believe you are the expert of your own life, my job is to help you see that, own it, and step into the life you deserve.
