Elevating Growth
Therapist, LCSW, QS, RCSWI, MSW, MCAP
You've been holding it together for your job, your relationships, and your family. But when was the last time someone checked on you? At Elevating Growth, we work with high-functioning adults, college students, young professionals, and high-achieving women and men who are quietly struggling with anxiety, burnout, stress, and the weight of life transitions. You might look fine on the outside, but inside you're exhausted, overwhelmed, or just… stuck. We get it and we've built a space where you don't have to explain yourself.

Natalie Mena
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Hello and welcome. I'm licensed clinical social worker in NY, NJ, FL, and TX. I work with athletes and adults who are navigating life transitions, performance pressure, or the lingering effects of trauma, whether personal or generational. Maybe you're unpacking patterns passed down through your family or feeling stuck in survival mode despite seeming “successful” on the outside. I offer a warm, relational space to explore what’s shaped you and reconnect with who you are beneath it all. Together, we’ll build the clarity, resilience, and emotional freedom you deserve.

Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
I have always been fascinated by the human mind and why people think, feel, and behave the way they do. I love helping people better understand themselves and make sense of their experiences.
I work with people struggling with anxiety, trauma, anxious attachment, identity concerns, relationship challenges, narcissistic abuse recovery, and borderline personality disorder. I also support family memebers and loved ones affected by BPD.
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel understood, challenged, and supported. My goal is to help you gain insight, ;earn practical skills, and make changes that improve your relationships, your confidence, and your overall life.

Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What makes my therapy practice stand out is my commitment to truly meeting each client where they are, with authenticity, compassion, and respect for their unique experiences. I take a neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based approach that focuses not on “fixing” clients, but on understanding and empowering them. I prioritize building a genuine, trusting relationship, creating a space where clients feel safe to be themselves without judgment. By blending evidence-based strategies with flexibility and warmth, I help clients develop practical tools while also fostering self-acceptance, confidence, and meaningful personal growth.

Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I’m a clinical psychologist who believes therapy works best when it feels thoughtful, collaborative, and genuinely human. I work with adults who may be navigating stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, emotional patterns, questions of identity or direction, or simply a sense that something in their lives is no longer working as well as they would like.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based psychology, but I do not believe therapy should feel mechanical or overly clinical. I try to understand each person in the context of their experiences, relationships, values, and the ways they have learned to cope with life. Together, we look not only at what is difficult, but also at the patterns underneath those difficulties and the possibilities for responding differently.
I often help clients develop greater self-awareness, tolerate discomfort more effectively, challenge rigid or unhelpful ways of thinking, and make gradual changes that are realistic and sustainable. At the same time, I believe therapy is not simply about fixing problems. It can also be about understanding yourself more deeply, becoming more intentional in how you live, and creating a life that feels more aligned with what matters to you.
My practice is provided entirely through online therapy, allowing me to work with clients from the privacy and convenience of their own space. I currently provide teletherapy to clients in states where I am licensed or authorized to practice through PSYPACT.

Adrian Pinckney
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe meaningful change begins within a therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and genuine human connection. Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment.
As a licensed clinical social worker, I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the emotional demands of everyday life. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and tailored to each individual's unique experiences, values, and goals. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I collaborate with clients to develop practical strategies while exploring the deeper patterns that influence emotional well-being.
Whether you're working through a difficult chapter, healing from past experiences, or striving for greater clarity and resilience, therapy can be a powerful investment in yourself. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they build insight, strengthen their emotional health, and create lasting, meaningful change.

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.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
Have you felt "stuck" and unable to make that change you so desire? Do you hear from people that you're "not living up to your potential" or "you're so great," but you just don't feel it? Are your relationships plagued by anxiety or distress? These are the things I am expert in managing. I focus largely on work with women, being that I can "speak" the male and female language and navigate relationship issues. I also take a feminist, empowerment focus in our work - we build on your specific strengths, and take into account your objective limitations. Everyone can find happiness, let's find yours, together!
