Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
I believe therapy is a space for deep, meaningful change—not just symptom relief. My work is grounded in a parts-based practice, depth psychology, and a trauma-informed lens, helping clients explore the aspects of themselves shaped by past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns. I approach this process with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story.
I specialize in working with trauma recovery, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, codependency, and relationship issues. I view these challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as signals pointing toward deeper patterns that deserve attention and care. Together, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome—especially those that have been overworked, hidden, or misunderstood.
My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, inner balance, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.

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.

Brighter Day Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D
At Brighter Day Psychological Services, understanding your mind is the first step toward healing and growth. As a licensed Clinical and School Psychologist, I specialize in neuropsychological and psychological evaluations that help people gain clarity about how they think, learn, and cope with life’s challenges. Many of my clients come to me feeling confused or overwhelmed, wondering why they struggle with focus, memory, learning, or mood. Through compassionate, thorough assessment, I help uncover the “why” behind these challenges and create a clear plan for moving forward. My evaluations explore areas such as ADHD, learning difficulties, anxiety, depression, trauma, memory changes, and executive functioning, always tailored to each individual’s unique story. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful. Every report I provide translates complex information into practical insights that can make everyday life easier—whether that’s at school, work, or home. My goal is for every person I work with to leave feeling seen, understood, and equipped with tools for a brighter day ahead.
