The Florida Center for Healthy Sexuality
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, CST, CSAT
Being a Sex Therapist, I like potential clients to know that I deliberately create a safe, non-judgmental environment both online and in person. My dream is for sex and relational health to be honored and easy to talk about, and for the myths and realities of what is possible to come to light.

Catriona Schmidt
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, NCC, National Certified Counselor
There are many reasons that people decide to seek counseling. Everyone experiences change, loss, life transitions, and challenges at some time in their lives; however, navigating our thoughts and feelings can become overwhelming to try and address alone. Therapy can provide a supportive environment that is safe, nonjudgemental, and accepting.
I specialize in the areas of depression, anxiety, life adjustments, mood disorders, grief and loss, perinatal health, and relationship issues. Identifying strengths, increasing insight, and developing skills are incorporated during the counseling process to promote growth and well-being.
My approach to therapy is client centered and strength based. Through a collaborative process of support and encouragement, I believe that clients are empowered to be a part of their own growth and healing. I look forward to working with you on your personal journey.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
As a relational psychoanalyst, I am trained to listen to what lives beneath your words: the unspoken feelings and unconscious processes that can leave you feeling stuck and quietly unfulfilled. Contemporary psychoanalysis helps us make sense of your life story and gently uncover the parts of yourself kept hidden for safekeeping. I appreciate that beginning the healing process can feel like a profound risk, especially when it means trusting another human being, even a therapist. My approach is shaped by who you are, what you need, and what we come to understand together.
Some of my specialties include working with survivors of childhood abuse (in all of its unfortunate forms); complex trauma; codependency and accommodation; narcissism (including relatives of narcissists); major depression; dissociative disorders (including DID); and dreams and nightmares. I see dreams as gifts our minds bestow upon us on a daily basis.
I absolutely love what I do. I learn from my patients every single day. I practice in person in Los Angeles, and am licensed in the states of CA, NY, NJ, and MA. I welcome you to reach out for a free Zoom consultation.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that each person’s story matters. I work with teens and adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.
In our work together, I combine psychiatric medication management with brief therapeutic support. This allows us to address symptoms while also exploring practical strategies that improve daily functioning, resilience, and overall wellbeing. I believe mental health is influenced by many factors, including stress, sleep, lifestyle, and physical health. I take a whole-person approach when developing treatment plans.
Seeking help can be a big step, and my role is to walk alongside you in that process. Together, we focus on identifying what is getting in the way of the life you want to live and creating a path forward that feels realistic and sustainable.
My goal is not only to help reduce symptoms but to support you in building a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.
