Jerrod Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD
Being human means having anxiety, doubt, and painful experiences, but it also means having the capacity to grow, heal, and choose how we want to live. I work with people who want to better understand what’s getting in the way and start living more fully as the person they want to be.

Leandra Desinord
Marriage and Family Therapist, LPC
Who are you when no one’s around?
If you struggle to answer that question, you're not alone.
Maybe you've become really good at being who everyone else needs you to be. The dependable daughter. The successful professional. The partner who holds everything together. The woman who can handle just about anything — until you're alone with yourself and realize you don't quite know what you need anymore.
You don't have to arrive with everything figured out. You just have to be willing to get curious about yourself.
Who are you when no one's around?
Let's find out.

Staci Des Rault
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. M.Div
One of my favorite things about being a therapist is being able to support people in reclaiming power in their lives. I value the privilege of holding a safe space for people to process their deepest fears, struggles, and pain, but also to bear witness to their celebrations and victories, no matter how big or small. Diagnoses and labels can be helpful flashlights to help us find our way, but ultimately, therapy should be about having a safe place to come where you can be your full authentic self.

Sheila Bravo
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor
People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in familiar patterns, or disconnected from themselves and others—sometimes without fully understanding why. My work is centered on helping you slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
I provide a thoughtful, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions, relationships, and inner experiences at your own pace. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I tailor therapy to you, focusing on insight, emotional awareness, and lasting change—not just symptom relief.
Clients often tell me they appreciate feeling genuinely seen, heard, and understood in our work together. If you’re looking for a therapist who values depth, curiosity, and meaningful self-exploration, I invite you to reach out and see if we might be a good fit.

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.

If you’re ready for therapy that actually moves the needle — not just surface-level coping — reach out. We’ll help you rise into a stronger, clearer, more aligned version of yourself.

Lauren Rothstein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I became a therapist because I believe in the power of human connection and the deep healing that can happen when we feel truly seen and heard. My work is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s story. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions—each client brings something unique, and I tailor our work to reflect that.
Clients often tell me they feel comfortable with me right away, like they don’t have to pretend or hold back. I bring a calm, grounded presence to sessions, and while I am here to support and listen, I am also not afraid to gently challenge when it’s helpful. My goal is always to help you feel more at home in yourself and more empowered in your life. I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step, therefore, you can expect a prompt response from me. If you are interested in a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation, please contact me by phone, text or email.
