Heather Champion
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Court Mediator
In a session with me, I will be honest but also supportive. My goal is to get you to a place where you do not need me because we have worked together to help you build a supportive and fulfilling life. To that end, I will incorporate counseling in emotional processing, interpersonal communication, self-care, and career into your sessions because it is our whole lives that determine our happiness and ability to handle stress.
I have about 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in business as an efficiencies expert. I have a wide variety of experience from my time in business working in IT and business administration in various markets (from finance to manufacturing).
My decision to become a therapist was based on my need to restart my life more happily and healthily a little over 10 years ago. I take a more existential approach to psychotherapy and utilize other approaches such as CBT and DBT and teach about the brain and how it reacts to stress.

Dr. Felicia Jackson
Psychologist, PhD
You may be tired of overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or feeling like everyday challenges take more energy than they should. Maybe you know what you want to change but struggle to figure out how to get there. Therapy can help you understand what's keeping you stuck, build practical skills, and start approaching life with greater confidence and flexibility. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes that last.

Lisa Botticelli
Psychologist, Ph.D., PMH-C, c-DBT
My aim is to tailor the therapy process to the individual, always bearing in mind their specific goals. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space and I'm active in session, often asking questions, reflecting, and providing more direct feedback. Overall, the space is often balanced between more unstructured, exploratory work and more skills-based interventions.

Dr. Ruth Viehoff
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP
Hello, I'm Dr. Ruth Viehoff, and it's a pleasure to virtually meet you! My practice is geared towards gen Z and millennial clients who struggle with anxiety, worry, perfectionism, and ADHD. My clients are often college students, graduate students, or are early in their careers as high-powered professionals. I have experience working with physicians and other medical professionals, engineers, high-stress business professionals, and lawyers. Often my clients over-schedule, over-optimize, and feel like they are working so hard to keep things in order in their lives. To other people, it may appear that you have it all together, but they don't see your internal struggle, your sense of overwhelm, and your hope that you will finally get a grasp on things tomorrow. Often my clients rely on achievement and external forms of validation and praise to feel like they are doing enough. They struggle to internally approve of themselves and their efforts. In therapy, I help my clients to cultivate self-compassion, re-evaluate and replace unhealthy personal standards, and increase attention to their own internal wants, needs, and opinions. Therapy is an opportunity to cultivate your own internal sense of knowing and increase your sense of agency in your own life. Reach out to me today to book a free consultation call!

Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I chose to enter the mental health field because I believe real change is possible, and I wanted to be part of helping people get there. My path into this work was shaped by genuine curiosity about people, a desire to be useful, and an understanding that meaningful progress rarely comes from surface-level conversations.
I earned my bachelor's degree from Saint Joseph's University, where I studied sociology, philosophy, and the Italian language. I later completed my Master's in Social Work at Monmouth University. Early in my career, I worked in outpatient and partial hospitalization settings, where I gained extensive experience treating individuals across a broad spectrum of mental health concerns. That work grounded me clinically and reinforced something I have carried into every setting since: effective care has to be individualized, honest, and focused on what actually moves the needle.
Over the past decade, I have built a practice around those same values. I work primarily with men from adolescence through adulthood, helping them navigate anxiety, depression, substance misuse, performance pressure, relationships, and life transitions. My approach is direct and collaborative. I help clients understand what is getting in their way, build practical skills, and stay accountable to the goals that matter most to them.
In addition to my private practice, I serve as a Director at Minding Your Mind, where I help bring mental health education to schools, businesses, and community organizations across New Jersey and Florida. That work has deepened my understanding of how stress, performance pressure, and emotional health show up across different populations and environments.
I hold active licenses in New Jersey, Florida, and South Carolina, and I am a clinical supervisor in New Jersey and Florida. I bring more than a decade of clinical experience to every client I work with, along with a straightforward belief that therapy should help people build the life they want, not just talk about it.
