Psychodynamic Therapy
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
I'm a licensed psychologist, trained at Harvard Medical School’s McLean Hospital, with a focus on treating children, adolescents, and perinatal women. I use evidence-based methods to address depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, social anxiety, autism, and social skills deficits. I also specialize in treating eating disorders and OCD, with extensive training in these areas. I run my private practice, A Secure Base Psychological Service, LLC, in Tampa, FL, where I’m committed to providing effective, compassionate care.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Kate Koslowsky
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help adults navigate uncertainty, stress, and life transitions while developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Many people seek therapy during periods of change, such as after graduating from college, entering or leaving relationships, growing their families, or adjusting to new roles. My practice often centers on anxiety, relationship concerns, and the complex challenges and rewards of parenthood, including the perinatal period.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding—of ourselves, our patterns, and the biological and emotional systems that shape how we experience the world. I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, integrating clinical experience, psychological insight, and education about how the brain and nervous system function under stress, trauma, and emotional strain.
Throughout my career in community mental health, private practice, medical settings, and teaching, I have worked with people facing complex emotional and relational challenges. These experiences have shaped a practical, compassionate, and direct style that focuses on helping clients understand why they feel and react the way they do, while developing concrete skills for change. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief but about increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and intention.
My work often includes helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses. By learning how to regulate the nervous system and tolerate uncertainty, individuals can respond more thoughtfully rather than react automatically. I aim to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, retell their stories when needed, and move toward a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding.
Therapy is a process of growth, accountability, and compassion. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help them build insight, resilience, and a more grounded sense of who they are and how they want to live.

Does setting boundaries feel uncomfortable or even unsafe? Do you find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or striving for perfection while quietly feeling exhausted?

Psychodynamic Therapy
Illana Jordan
Therapist, LCSW
For some, therapy is an opportunity to explore complex and overlapping parts of themselves. For others, it is an opportunity to better understand the impact their past is having on their current life circumstances. For each us, therapy should be an opportunity to be heard, to heal and feel better.
