Amber Creamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Are you a woman that looks like they have it all together on the outside, but on the inside you feel like you are struggling to hold things together? You pride yourself on being able to do all the things- excel at your career, manage family responsibilities, maintain an active social calendar, and more- but you have lost sight of what you actually enjoy doing. Your life is far from what you envisioned and you are unsure of where to start to get things back on track.
Or maybe you are a woman who experienced something that has been hard to leave in the past. You’ve been trying to hold onto moments of normalcy because it allows you to downplay what happened. In order to feel safe you have sought out control and predictability in your life and relationships. You are afraid of what will happen if you “open the door” to the past although you desperately want to live a life that isn’t shaped by what you have experienced, but you don’t know where to start.
Whether you are dealing with struggles with anxiety, perfectionism, or trauma, I will be with you every step of the way. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where every woman I work with can feel seen, heard, and valued. I will utilize my knowledge, training, and expertise to help you develop the necessary comping skills and accomplish your goals. Through our work together I want to help you learn to live your life more authentically, learn to quiet your inner critic, and live your life boldly without second guessing so you can cultivate a life you love.

Dr. Kahina Beasley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Let’s work together on finding solutions for your life. When we run into challenges, it can be so tough to figure out the best plan to move forward. Sometimes we just need that extra boost or coping strategy to get where we want to be. Through therapy, I provide my clients with tools to cope effectively when adjusting to these life hurdles or changes. I help you find strengths you may not realize you have, by tapping into what you may be unable to see during your time of stress, depression, or anxiety. Together, we'll collaborate to determine what steps would work best for you to come out of your life transition feeling empowered and psychologically healthy. My therapy model is short-term and solutions-focused, aimed at reaching steps toward your goals as soon as possible to begin finally feeling like your best self again.
Separate from therapy, I also specialize in psychological assessments for children and adults. Testing is typically for school-based concerns, such as learning disabilities, behavior challenges, ADHD, or gifted eligibility. My reports help as needed for clients to receive accommodations in class/standardized exams and meet their life goals.

Ornella Dickson
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, MPA, RCSWI
I help clients truly heal from life or marital crisis, overwhelming sadness, generational trauma, panic attacks, self-defeating thoughts, intimacy issues, anxiety, stress, anger and grief. My expertise is in emotional release therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, clinically supporting and empowering you to finally release the painful emotions and agonizing thoughts that has been consuming your peace. You will begin to love yourself, “Feel Understood”, and adopt the skills to support healthy relationships, restoring you to a healthier sense of self. My style is evidence-based, down-to-earth, client centered and solution-focused with a mixed treatment approach.
For couples, I am passionate about helping you resolve the power struggle “to be heard” that happens in relationships, helping you see that the past can influence how you both show up to each other. We build mutual understanding, conflict resolution and communication skills, and address the areas causing disunity, sometimes that means generational trauma.
I am registered with the Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling, certified in Crisis Prevention Interventions (CPI), specializing in Crisis Stabilization, Marital-Crisis Intervention, Trauma Recovery (TRM), Grief, Substance Abuse, Diagnosis Navigation, Stress, Emotional Disturbances, Body Image and Life Crisis, working in Mental Health for 8 years, and in intensive outpatient and in-patient crisis stabilization since 2021.

Cassandre Charnel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Have you experienced trauma, abuse, relationship challenges or loss? Do you struggle with codependency? Do you have difficulty setting healthy boundaries? Do you want to build self-esteem and confidence? Have your attempts to create meaningful changes in your life been met, repeatedly with short term-success? Are you losing hope with the prospect of a prosperous meaningful future?
Hi! My name is Cassie, and I'm a Christian, faith-based therapist licensed and located in the sunny (and sometimes rainy!) state of Florida. The questions posed above speak to challenges many of us are regularly faced with, but may find it difficult to speak about. Instead, we may find ourselves harboring feeling of shame and guilt which blocks us from pursuing and receiving the help we need.
And if you're not seeking faith based counseling? No problem at all! With over six (6) years of professional experience, and a host of treatment methods to rely on, you can rest assured in my ability to meet you uniquely in your place of need. Ultimately, my desire is to help you reach a place of freedom and peace, where you can begin experiencing incremental yet impactful improvements to your overall wellbeing so your life and relationships can bear the fruit they were always meant to.
I believe there’s hope for everyone, even those feeling utterly defeated in this season of their lives. If you’re here, then take it as evidence; the time for healing is now.
