Psychodynamic
Dr. Brandi Norman
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, Post-Degree Certificate Marriage and Family Therapy, PsyPact
I believe that being truly seen, heard, and understood is at the heart of meaningful change. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe being yourself, exploring difficulties emotions and working through life’s challenges at your own pace. I do this while using evidence-based practice. It is my goal to understand you as a whole person—not just the struggles that bring you to therapy. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, develop greater self-understanding, self-compassion and to build the psychological flexibility to navigate life’s challenges. You deserve a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, authenticity and compassion, and that is what I work to offer every person who enters my practice.

Psychodynamic
Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
My initial interest in psychotherapy was sparked by studies in history, music, visual art, and the major world religions. These seemingly disparate interests helped me understand individual narratives in the context of our larger collective history. We all have a sense of who we are and how the world works based on years of lived experience. By deepening the understanding of our personal narrative we prepare the way for a sense of meaning and purpose that can impact our lives and those around us in profound ways.

Devon Davasher
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCM, CFSW, Master ART Practitioner
I became a therapist because I needed one. I lost my mom when I was 18, and in the years that followed I struggled with anxiety and depression and reached for whatever would take the edge off. When I finally sat down with a therapist, it changed my life. Not because it fixed everything right away, but because for the first time I had a space to say the things I had never said out loud. As a gay man, I know what it is like to carry parts of yourself quietly for longer than you should have had to. That lived experience shapes how I show up in the room. Affirming care is not something I do. It is something I live.

Dr. Laura Testiler
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
When I ask clients why they’ve come to therapy, many share a simple hope: "I just want to feel better." Often, they’re tired of feeling depressed, anxious, irritable, overwhelmed, or angry. They're unhappy in a relationship or job or are having trouble adjusting to a life change (marriage, divorce/break-up, becoming a parent, losing a loved one, pursuing a degree or career). As a psychologist with years of experience, I know how challenging these experiences can be. And I also know that positive change is possible.
I'm a licensed psychologist based in Florida offering virtual individual therapy to adults in Florida and 40+ PSYPACT states. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I especially enjoy working with adults who grew up in dysfunctional families, helping them heal from the past and recognize how their experiences shape their current relationships. I am also a mom of 3 and am passionate about supporting women in their transition to motherhood. As a perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C), I have completed advanced training in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.

Psychodynamic
Dr. Megie Shean
Psychologist, PsyD
Clients often share that they feel at ease working with me because I bring warmth, authenticity, and genuine care into each session. I value real connection and strive to create a space where clients can show up exactly as they are—without pretense or pressure. While I maintain a professional approach, I also believe that being human together matters; I’m genuine in my communication, often imperfect, and always deeply invested in helping clients feel understood and supported as they move toward healing and growth.
