Narrative
Jazmin Melendez
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMSW
I believe every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and respected for who they are and the experiences that have shaped them. As someone who identifies as queer and is part of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the importance of having spaces where you can show up as your full self without judgment or the need to explain who you are. I value culturally responsive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and identity-affirming care, and recognize that culture, family, identity, and lived experience are important parts of each person’s story. I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, honesty, and humanity, while honoring both the challenges you’re carrying and the strengths that have helped you navigate them. I also believe there should be room for humor and genuine connection in therapy. My hope is that our work helps you feel more understood, connected to yourself, and empowered to move forward in a way that feels authentic to you.
I work with children, teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, relationships, identity, stress, neurodivergence, and life transitions. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what’s happening, feel understood, and work together toward greater clarity, confidence, and meaningful change.

Embrace Psychotherapy, LCSW, PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My name is Elaine Hernandez-Cordova, but my friends all call me Elena! I am an Omnistic, bi-sexual, Latin-American psychotherapist, life coach and author. For the last 20 years, I have dedicated my life to practicing a holistic approach to lifestyle adjustments for myself, my family and the systems we all reside in. I like to consider all of humanity to be my family, and I try to reflect this in my work.
I was born in an impoverished part of Brooklyn, NY where I was adopted by a prominent lawyer and his wife who couldn’t bear children due to an early battle with cancer. This inspired my natural inclination to bond with people, both personally and professionally, and maintain meaningful connections. Seeing how imbalanced our society was, and eager to be the change I wanted to see in the world, I studied for a Master of Social Work from the School of Public Health at the University of Central Florida in 2003. I became increasingly interested in the mind-body connection, and so I became a yoga therapist in 2013 through the Long Island Yoga School.
I provide therapeutic services in relation to addiction and post-traumatic stress pro-bono at local hospitals and community centers. My personal experiences and professional expertise in mental health and substance use afford me powerful insight into the healing practices of the dually diagnosed. I am a proud social advocate, and regularly devote time to visit with veterans, inmates, consumers and the underserved. I encourage people to take time to write letters, make phone calls, sign petitions, send emails and donate to causes that matter to the unique values of the individual. Don’t be afraid of being a voice in the community of your choice. If you don’t stand for something then you will fall for anything!

Debbie Allen, A Safe Place To Share
Therapist, Betrayal Trauma Therapist & Coach, Sex & Porn Addiction Therapist & Coach. Visit my website 👇
Has betrayal shattered your sense of safety and trust? Are you struggling with sex or pornography addiction, compulsive sexual behaviours, or the devastating impact these experiences can have on your relationship? You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I’m a Sex Addiction Therapist & Coach and Partner Trauma Therapist & Coach, with advanced clinical training through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP). I specialize in betrayal trauma, infidelity, sex and pornography addiction, compulsive sexual behaviours, and relationship recovery.
My approach is client-centred, attachment-based, and grounded in compassion, authenticity, and a deep understanding of the emotional wounds that betrayal and addiction can create. I provide a safe, confidential, and judgment-free environment where you can speak openly, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’ve experienced.
Whether you’re struggling to regain your footing after betrayal, seeking recovery from compulsive sexual behaviours, or trying to rebuild trust and connection, I will meet you where you are. Together, we will work toward emotional safety, healthier boundaries, greater self-awareness, and meaningful, lasting change.
For those navigating the immediate aftermath of discovering betrayal, I also offer Post-Discovery Rapid Response, a specialized 90-minute coaching session designed to provide support, stabilization, and direction during those first overwhelming hours and days.
A Safe Place To Share is more than a name. It’s a place to be heard, a place to heal, and a place to rediscover hope.
