Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Paulina Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
Working with me means entering a space where you don’t have to hold everything together. I bring warmth, clarity, and steady guidance to our work, helping you slow down, listen to what your body has been carrying, and make sense of your experience. Together, we create room for both practical change and deeper alignment, so growth feels grounded, intentional, and sustainable.

Princes McCarther
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I am a LCSW offering compassionate, trauma-focused care, grounded in the cultural insight I bring as an Asian therapist. I offer Telehealth appointments in FL, TN, NC, and IN. Many of the adults I work with come to me feeling weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or depression. They’ve tried to manage on their own, but the patterns keep repeating—emotionally, relationally, or in daily functioning. Together, we work to understand what’s underneath those reactions, reduce the intensity of symptoms, and rebuild a sense of safety, agency, and self-trust.

Tenikka Denard
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCMHC
I believe in a holistic approach to healing and believe overall wellness is the goal. In my practice, I am collaborative and strength based while utilizing evidence based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CPT, Written Exposure Therapy, and Trauma Focused CBT. My role is to support you on your healing journey so you can understand and utilize your emotions and thoughts to improve your ability to manage stress, learn healthy coping tools, heal from the past, and build confidence. In addition, we can also explore your needs using mindfulness, yoga and movement, and creativity to uncover your vision of a joyful and fulfilled life.

Unchained Brain LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Unchained Brain is built on the belief that therapy should help you make sense of your experiences, not just cope with them. I work with adults who want a thoughtful and supportive approach to therapy, especially when stress, anxiety, cognitive concerns, or health changes begin to affect daily life. Clients often tell me they feel heard, understood, and relieved to finally connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and brain functioning. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with clarity, and helps you move forward with confidence, I’d love to connect. Clients often seek me out when they want clarity, structure, and a deeper understanding of how the brain, emotions, and daily functioning are connected, including support with thinking skills, organization, and cognitive changes.
