Life can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate the path to healing alone. As a United States Air Force veteran, a mother of two, and a dedicated Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I bring a unique blend of structured resilience, deep empathy, and specialized clinical expertise to our sessions. I understand firsthand the complexities of high-stress environments, life transitions, and the daily balancing act of family life. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

With over 30 years of experience, I help adults manage sleep, stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. People often describe me as kind, perceptive, with a good sense of humor. My approach combines active listening, mindfulness, CBT, and applied neuroscience. We'll work together to create a plan tailored to your needs to help you focus and move forward with confidence. I'm an LCPC, Board Certified in Neurofeedback, with a certificate in CBT-I for insomnia and other sleep concerns.

I’m so glad you’re here. Navigating through adulthood comes with unique obstacles, especially in an era that we are saturated with social media, which keeps us connected, yet simultaneously challenges authentic connection.

Whether you’re exploring your identity, seeking affirming relationships, struggling with communication, facing societal pressures, or working through past experiences, I want you to know that you are seen, you are valued, and you are supported.

I take an eclectic approach to therapy; I tailor therapy to your needs. I am well-acquainted with Psychodynamic Therapy, and am receiving ongoing training in Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) , Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy. I specialize in Anxiety, Trauma, Phobias, OCD, BPD and Relationship issues.

My practice is an inclusive and affirming space where you can bring your full self—without fear of judgment. You deserve to be heard, understood and valued. If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out for a free 15 minute consultation. Let’s work together to help you create a life that feels more aligned, fulfilling, and true to who you are.

Perhaps you're struggling in silence, and from the outside, everything seems fine to your friends and family. But what happens when your outer world doesn't reflect what's going on inside? You may feel overwhelmed, lost, or too embarrassed to speak up. Who can you talk to or trust that you can say the things that you don’t feel right to say out loud? You are not alone, and it is more common than you may think. This increases anxiety and can stand in the way of building fulfilling relationships, achieving career success, or finding a place of peace where you truly feel at home.

I am licensed in Florida with 10+ years of professional work experience combined in conflict resolution and mental health counseling. I believe that empowerment is an essential and powerful tool in the healing process. I obtained a doctoral degree in conflict resolution and a master's degree in counseling psychology. I have experience in helping clients with LGBTQ+ related issues, relationship issues, life transitions, family conflicts, coping with grief, coping with loss, motivation and self-esteem. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

I'm Kat Paris, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, specializing in the treatment of OCD, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and body-focused repetitive behaviors. For over five years, I've worked extensively with individuals experiencing OCD and anxiety in a variety of care settings. I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. My approach also integrates other evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for skin picking, hair pulling, and other body-focused repetitive behaviors, and Behavioral Activation to help individuals experiencing depression reconnect with activities that bring purpose and fulfillment. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care in a collaborative environment where you'll gain the tools and confidence to overcome challenges and reconnect with what matters most.

Hi, I'm Lucero. I'm so glad you're here.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I've had the privilege of walking alongside children, adolescents, adults, and families for more than six years as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. But more than anything, I love helping people discover that they don't have to stay stuck.

Many of my clients come to therapy exhausted by repeating the same patterns, having the same conversations in their heads, or feeling like they're surviving instead of truly living. If that's where you are, I want you to know that change is possible. Sometimes we simply need someone to help us understand what's happening, uncover what's keeping us stuck, and walk beside us as we create a different path forward.

One of the things clients often appreciate most about working with me is that I love to teach. Understanding your brain, your nervous system, and the science behind anxiety, stress, and emotional reactions can be incredibly freeing. So often people think, "What's wrong with me?" My goal is to help you realize that your mind and body are often doing exactly what they were designed to do—they've just learned patterns that no longer serve you. When we understand the "why," healing becomes much less intimidating.

I also have a special place in my heart for mothers. I've seen so many women spend years carrying the emotional weight of everyone around them while quietly believing they're not enough. If you're overwhelmed, overstimulated, constantly giving to others, or have lost sight of who you are outside of caring for everyone else, I would be honored to help you rediscover your voice, your worth, and the woman God created you to be. For clients who desire it, I'm happy to thoughtfully integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.
