Hello, my name is Katrice Anderson, and I am a licensed mental health therapist with a master's degree. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and discover their strengths in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. I work with adults, adolescents, and children experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and trauma-related issues. Many of my clients have found themselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—seeking to be seen and heard, wanting guidance, and hoping to build coping strategies and trust themselves. 

My approach is compassionate and evidence-based, incorporating strengths-based approaches and tailoring treatment to fit each client's needs. I create a safe space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences while developing practical tools to cope with challenges and achieve meaningful change. 

Whether you are seeking self-understanding, emotional healing, or healthier coping strategies, I would like to support you on your journey. Your experiences and challenges matter, and taking the first step is a courageous act of self-care. I am committed to meeting you where you are with empathy and encouragement as we work toward lasting positive change. 

My name is David J. DeJesus, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. My work is grounded primarily in Bowen Family Systems Theory and psychodynamic thinking, with attention to how family history, relationships, and early experiences shape present-day patterns. I work with individuals and families navigating complex family dynamics, early recovery, anxiety, emotional regulation, internal conflict, and intergenerational patterns. I also integrate cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy-informed tools to support insight, coping skills, and intentional change. 

My approach is collaborative, reflective, and grounded in curiosity. I help clients better understand patterns in their relationships, family history, emotional reactions, and learned roles. Clients can expect a thoughtful, honest space that supports insight, coping skills, emotional regulation, and intentional change. 

Starting therapy can be a meaningful step toward understanding yourself and your relationships more clearly. My hope is to offer a space where you feel respected, supported, and encouraged as you work toward growth, healing, and more intentional change. I would be honored to support you in that process.

As case needs may differ from person to person, a variety of therapeutic approaches may be utilized within the session to assist you in reaching your goals. Techniques may be derived from the following: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Family Behavioral Therapy (FBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Mindfullness-Based (MBCT), and Person-Centered Therapy. Danny offers individual, family, and couples counseling services.
