Ciera Coyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I love meeting clients exactly where they are at. I often work with folks who can be very self-critical, usually because they've learned to believe harmful messages about themselves. They might have heard that they aren't good enough because of their beliefs, their sexuality, their neurodivergent brains, or any number of reasons. I help my clients learn to change that narrative. To honestly and fearlessly look at themselves with compassion and acceptance. It's only from that place of compassionate acceptance that can we create meaningful, lasting change.

Dr. Misty Gibson
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LMHC, LCPC, LPC, CST-S, ACS
Clients often tell me that working with me feels like finally being able to exhale. My practice is grounded in genuine care, deep clinical expertise, and a commitment to honoring the full complexity of your identity, your relationships, and your nervous system. You do not have to mask, explain yourself, or fit into a narrow idea of what healing should look like. Here you get thoughtful guidance, clear-eyed support, and a therapeutic space that respects both your boundaries and your brilliance. If you are ready for therapy that actually feels like it was built for you, I would love to connect and help you move toward a more regulated, connected, and satisfying life.

Dr. Christina J. Gonzalez
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LMHC, NCC
Are you facing challenges in your life? I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
In our work together, we'll focus on identifying your inner strengths, building coping tools rooted in your values, and creating a meaningful, realistic path toward healing. Emotional pain is something we often try to avoid, but real growth begins when we allow ourselves to fully experience and understand those feelings. My approach centers around shifting from emotional avoidance to emotional acceptance. I work through an attachment-based lens, recognizing how early experiences shape our current relationships and emotional patterns. I also frequently incorporate self-compassion practices to help you relate to yourself with more kindness and care.

Navjoat Kaur
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSWAIC
What makes my therapy approach meaningful is the blend of warmth, cultural awareness, and practical support I bring into every session. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely seen and understood, sometimes for the first time, because I take the time to learn their story, honor their lived experiences, and meet them where they are. I focus on helping people make real, lasting shifts in how they relate to themselves and the people they care about, without judgment or pressure. If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next step, reaching out is a powerful place to start. I’d be honored to support you in building clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of emotional wellbeing.

Jordan Sanders
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC-MHSP, Ed. S.
Are you struggling against an internal voice that says you aren’t good enough or worthy of love and acceptance for who you are? You may have heard this voice from others in your home, school, or on TV growing up, which turned this voice into beliefs that leave parts of you feeling unseen, unheard, and unloved. This is a common story for many people, however, it doesn’t reflect the authentic nature of who you are. You are lovable and worthy. In our time together, I will help you heal emotional wounds from the past, ground yourself in the present, and create a future from a more conscious, intentional, and courageous space inside.
Together, we’ll explore where you feel stuck in life by fostering a judgment-free, accepting, and safe environment. We'll build your self-awareness, self-confidence, personal boundaries, update outdated patterns that no longer serve you, and transform that disparaging voice in your head into YOUR voice; an authentic voice of self-compassion, truth, and love.
My approach integrates mindfulness and somatic evidence-based trauma therapies that are always tailored to your specific needs and goals. I encourage you to email or call me if you are interested in scheduling an appointment or to have a free phone consultation. Whatever brought you here, it is no longer yours to carry alone.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If your body is still feeling uncomfortable, agitated, or activated despite years of therapy and self-work, you're in the right place.
If you've already made the connection that some of your physical symptoms are probably stress related, you're well along your way. Once you've identified that, then there are ways that you can learn to work with your nervous system to start moving in a better direction.
I collaborate with intelligent, caring and curious humans to help them learn how to settle their nervous systems and resolve stress-related issues they may be contending with, ranging from digestive issues to anxiety attacks, nervous tics to emotional flares.
I currently have openings on Wednesdays and Thursdays: Let's schedule a free 15-minute consult to see if we're a good fit. Just go to this address: https://oncehub.com/thoughtfulintro

Brian Jones
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MEd, LMHC, LPC
Do you experience a lot of shame, anxiety, or trust issues? My main specialty is religious trauma, and whether you've experienced this kind of trauma or not, I work extensively with these sort of "trauma-adjacent" issues that affect people in their daily lives. Many folx grew up learning harmful lessons about themselves and their relationships, and now they're stuck in difficult patterns.
I've been there, and I can help. Not all therapists understand what religious and childhood trauma is like, especially "lower-case 't' trauma" when you can't point to one single explanation for why something was harmful to you. A lot of religious trauma therapists are also Christian; this doesn't mean that they're bad at what they do, but you might feel the need to work with someone from a more agnostic or skeptical worldview.

Matthew Wolfe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MHP
I believe that counseling should support building the life you want to live. In the lead up to action we may need to account for the systems we operate in, our authentic values and goals, and our established coping strategies. As you get a fuller picture of your experience, it will become clearer what the next steps are.

Christina Sheehan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC
You don’t have to explain away your sensitivity here—I speak your language. My practice specializes in helping highly sensitive, deep-feeling women untangle perfectionism, self-doubt, and the wounds of past relationships. What makes this work powerful is the mix of insight, realness, and radical permission I bring into the room. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you come home to yourself. If you're ready to stop shrinking and start showing up as the truest version of you, let’s talk.
