Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to effective therapy. Because of this, I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

Kaitlin Joyce Therapy & Consulting, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, NATC, TCTSY-F
I specialize in working with high-achieving adults (18+) who are outwardly thriving, but carry the invisible wounds of narcisstic abuse, complex trauma, emotional neglect, or early attachment ruptures. You may be someone who’s loving, thoughtful, and aware—but feels stuck in patterns of self-criticism, doubt, unstable emotions, or people-pleasing.
You are not broken! Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your distress to help you reclaim your inner peace, regulate your nervous system, and create healthy relationships. I offer a safe, collaborative space for you to learn how to manage your feelings, find your voice and heal from the past.

Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Cindy Yu is a bilingual (English and Mandarin Chinese) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of Florida, Alabama, and Illinois. She is well-trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, solution-focused therapy, Bowen’s theory, Gottman Method, CBT, and more. Cindy believes that each client is comprised of unique yet charismatic components such as personal upbringings, religious beliefs, and cultural backgrounds, that all contribute to narrate a cohesive personal story. This fundamental ideology has cultivated her into offering her clients unconditional positive regard and respect, while tailoring her treatment orientations to better serve each client’s individuality. Her passion is to help individuals, couples, and families to understand the misunderstood, to discover hope from the hopelessness, to speak the unspoken, and to seek possibilities through the impossible. Cindy also has a background in the medical field where she has obtained a strong foundational knowledge for medical diagnosis and medications. She understands the intricacy between medical burden and mental health.

Ashley Mason
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LMHC
I work with thoughtful women who have built careers, families, and lives that look “put together” on the outside but quietly carry the old wounds of growing up with critical, narcissistic, or emotionally unavailable mothers. Even now, after all they’ve accomplished, many of my clients find themselves wrestling with guilt, people-pleasing, and an unshakable sense of never being enough.
My approach draws from 20 years of psychoanalytic training, finely tuned listening, and a spacious, non-intrusive presence. Together, we explore the hidden patterns that keep them stuck — the echoes of a mother’s voice that still shape their self-worth and choices — and create room for their own true voice to emerge.
Through this deeper work, my clients learn to set boundaries without collapse, let go of guilt that never belonged to them, and cultivate trust in themselves. The outcome is not just external success, but something more profound: the freedom to live authentically, with peace, confidence, and a genuine sense of being at home within themselves.
15 Years Experience
Online in Tallahassee, FL Florida (Online Only)
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.
