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.

Matt McDavid
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life often asks us to carry more than we should—self-doubt, overwhelming emotions, and the weight of expectations that feel impossible to meet. Maybe you’ve been told who you should be for so long that the person you are feels hidden. Therapy offers a space to let go of what no longer serves you and step into the life you’ve always deserved!
I’m Matt McDavid, and I specialize in helping insightful, creative individuals who are ready to transform their inner world. Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating life’s challenges, or seeking clarity, I provide a safe and supportive space to explore your story, reconnect with your authentic self, and build a life that feels meaningful and aligned with who you are.
My approach is anything but one-size-fits-all. I believe therapy should feel as unique as you are—creative, collaborative, and rooted in trust. Together, we’ll peel back the layers of self-doubt and conditioned beliefs that have obscured your light. You’ll discover the strength, resilience, and self-compassion that have been within you all along.
Using trauma-informed care and a strength-based perspective, I’ll guide you to release the stories that no longer define you and embrace the truth that you’ve always been enough. Through proven techniques like Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, we’ll uncover tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience.
Therapy with me isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s about transformation. My clients often share that our work has redefined their expectations of therapy, helping them feel truly seen and empowered in ways they never thought possible. They describe rediscovering their inner strength, letting go of what isn’t authentic, and stepping into lives filled with purpose, connection, and joy.
I know taking this step can feel intimidating. But by being here, you’ve already shown incredible courage. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s take the next step together—toward healing, toward clarity, and toward the life you were always meant to live.
Your story isn’t finished. Let’s write the next chapter together.

Dr. Christina J. Gonzalez
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LMHC, NCC
Are you facing challenges in your life? I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

A Butterfly's Journey Therapeutic Services, LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Hello, I’m Jazmin, a licensed mental health counselor with a deep commitment to helping individuals heal from medical trauma, PTSD, and the emotional and physical toll of chronic illness. I specialize in a holistic, integrative approach to healing that combines EMDR therapy, hypnotherapy, and nutritional coaching to support your overall well-being.
Having worked extensively with individuals who have experienced significant medical challenges, I understand how deeply medical trauma can affect your life. Whether you’ve faced a serious illness, surgery, or ongoing health struggles, the emotional scars can linger long after physical healing has occurred. It’s not uncommon to feel anxious, disconnected from your body, or overwhelmed by the long-term effects of medical experiences.
My approach to therapy integrates both the mind and body, recognizing that true healing requires addressing the emotional, psychological, and physical aspects of trauma. EMDR therapy is a powerful tool for processing and releasing trauma stored in the body, while hypnotherapy helps you tap into your inner resources for relaxation, stress relief, and emotional healing. Through nutritional coaching, we also explore how what you eat can impact both your mental and physical health, helping you create healthier, more sustainable habits.
I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, which is why I work collaboratively with you to understand the root causes of your distress and empower you to take control of your healing journey. Whether you are dealing with the lasting effects of a traumatic medical experience, the emotional burden of chronic illness, or PTSD, I’m here to offer compassionate, comprehensive care that supports both your mental health and physical wellness.
Together, we’ll create a safe space for you to process, heal, and transform. My goal is to help you regain a sense of empowerment and peace, so you can live your life with renewed strength and vitality.
