Happy and Free Healing
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LICSW, MEd, LCSW
Currently accepting new referrals! We have shifted to a fully virtual model, but still have the feeling of a small local practice.
Are you looking to explore new ways to heal and grow? Do you want to expand on traditional talk-therapy, and work with therapists who take an integrative approach (mind, body, and spirit)? Utilizing holistic modalities aimed at treating the whole person, our practice hopes to help you reach your goals and explore your potential. Sometimes we all need extra support in our journey through life; we are here to offer guidance, empathy, and a safe haven to explore your thoughts, hopes, and fears.

Lucas Saiter
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.A., LMHC
My approach combines psychodynamic, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to support insight and meaningful, lasting change. I am trained in EMDR and incorporate it into treatment when helpful. Therapy with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and engaged. Together, we’ll explore patterns, clarify your goals, and build a stronger sense of authenticity, self-understanding, and agency.

Sarayu Meraki
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NARM Master Therapist
I work with late-identified Autistic and AuDHD women who are untangling the cost of masking, anxiety, trauma, and losing themselves in relationships.
You are most likely perceptive, emotionally complex, and highly practiced at adapting. On the outside, you might look capable, responsible, insightful, or “fine.” Inside, you may be carrying self-pressure, shame, exhaustion, relational fear, or the ache of not quite knowing where you went.
Therapy with me is slow, spacious, relational, and deeply curious. I’m not here to hand you a script for becoming anything. I’m here to help you understand the patterns that helped you survive, reconnect with your agency, and build a more trusting relationship with yourself.
Living inside the mask does not mean you are broken. It means you adapted. And the parts of you that helped you survive can also travel with you as you unmask.

Lisa Saponaro
Psychologist, PhD
Each of us faces obstacles and difficulties in life differently, and at times we can all use help. Individuals frequently seek my services during times of transition, when decision making appears to have a greater impact on our future directions.

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.

Tallahassee is home to Florida State University and Florida A&M University — the latter one of the country's most prominent HBCUs — creating a large and diverse student population alongside a substantial state government workforce, and a therapy community shaped by both academic stress and the particular pressures of public service careers. The city's African American community, anchored by a historically rich FAMU culture, drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial identity, HBCU community life, and intergenerational resilience. Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare and Capital Regional Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community. Tallahassee's geographic distance from Florida's major metros makes it an important regional mental health hub for a large surrounding rural area.
