Rich Painter, M.S.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do you want a deeper sense of connection or a greater sense of purpose in life? You may be dealing with stress, fear, marriage issues, dating difficulties, confusion, life transitions, low self worth, career direction, or something else impacting your life and relationships. You might have a mistrust of men or women based on past, hurtful experiences. You are not alone. Imagine yourself living with greater peace, freedom, trust, creativity, courage, and empowering love. Getting you there is my specialty. With your life experience and my 20+ years of training and experience, we can team up to make your life and relationships more fulfilling. With my guidance, fear will be overcome, self-esteem will grow, and understanding will emerge. You can have the loving relationships you deserve, and the life purpose you desire. My clients often say they appreciate the calm demeanor and trust they feel with me. Together, we can help you craft the authentic life you were meant to live.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #114765 by the state of California and #3281 by the state of Florida. I offer professional counseling, life coaching, and spiritual direction for individuals, couples, children and families. I draw on the insights of psychological theory as well as spiritual resources for healing. I believe that by exploring unmet needs from the past, people can develop healthier relationships today. By working through painful losses and wounds, people can release unhelpful beliefs about themselves and others in order to live more fully in the present and with hope for the future. We are hurt in relationships; we are also healed in relationship, and the therapeutic relationship can be a useful resource. Areas of focus include couple, marital, and singlehood issues, family/parenting dynamics and attachment, anxiety, depression, adolescents and young adults, career coaching, abuse and trauma, spiritual growth and struggles, gender and sexuality issues, loss and grief, and pornography/addictions. I'm a certified Prepare-Enrich Counselor and offer premarital and marital couples counseling, and I'm also a certified Family Wellness Instructor. I'm a professional member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy as well as the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. My approach integrates Attachment Theory, Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Life Coaching, and is collaborative, supportive, non-judgmental, and tailored to fit your needs. If you are ready to take the next step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Resilient Counseling, Coaching & Consulting
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
My own childhood was marked by many challenges, and it was my determination to rise above those hardships that inspired my path into counseling. I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling from Barry University while teaching full-time and raising three children. That experience deepened my understanding of balance, perseverance, and the power of compassion.
Throughout my training, I discovered the importance of nurturing the whole person—spirit, soul, and body. While addressing symptoms can provide temporary relief, lasting healing begins at the root. I often compare it to a gardener pulling out weeds: simply trimming the tops may make the garden look better for a while, but unless the roots are removed, they will return. In therapy, when we work together to uncover and resolve the deeper causes of distress, you can experience genuine growth and transformation.
My goal is to help you cultivate resilience and create meaningful change so you can move forward with renewed energy, healthier relationships, and a greater sense of fulfillment.

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.
