Dr. Sonia Ovuehor Ovy
Counselor/Therapist, Doctor of science in Counselling Psychology, Msc Conflict Resolution, Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapy, Counselling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Certificate in Mental Health Studies, Suicide Prevention and Intervention, Diploma in Relationship and Family Counselling, CPD in Neuro Linguistic Programming.
I am a globally certified relationship and marriage coach, licensed Counsellor, seasoned Therapist. My years of hands-on experience cut across relationship therapy, marital counselling, business coaching, career mentorship, grief/trauma/addiction recovery, etc.
I possess grandiose expertise in listening, absorbing and analyzing human problems without prejudice. As an individual who has experienced life from all angles (right from a tender age), I am apparently in a better position to counsel and admonish individuals who battle with depression, anxiety, retrogression/set backs, financial turmoils, addiction, emotional/domestic abuse, rejection, youthful exuberance, juvenile delinquency, child abuse, marital/family crisis, etc.
My professional background makes me capable of being a great confidant and less judgmental. My sense of humor often gives my clients a soothing sigh of relief, irrespective of the burden at hand.
I also provide spiritual counselling services for deeper issues beyond basic comprehension.

Brianna Gomez
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS - Bilingual Trauma Informed Therapist
My name is Brianna Gomez, and I’m a pre-licensed counselor with deep roots in Miami, Florida, where I was born and raised. I earned two master’s degrees—one in Psychology and the other in Clinical Mental Health Counseling—from the University of Louisiana Monroe. My approach to therapy is informed by a trauma-sensitive lens and is strongly influenced by narrative therapy principles. I also incorporate elements from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), grief work, and attachment-based interventions. This blend allows me to support individuals in making meaning of their experiences and moving forward with a clearer sense of direction, self-assurance, and purpose. I believe no one should have to navigate life’s difficulties in isolation. Through our work together, we’ll build toward healing, insight, and personal growth—step by step.
