Stacia McCahan, LMHC

I’m Stacia, and helping people is what I am passionate about. I work with adolescents and adults who are experiencing concerns with, but not limited to, disordered eating, eating disorders, and body image (I like to think of these as unhelpful/unhealing, and even toxic relationships with food and body); anxiety; depression; self-esteem; critical self-talk; relationships, including with family; and interpersonal communication. I integrate Feminist, Narrative, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (CBT), mindfulness, and Family Systems-informed approaches in counseling sessions.

I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach to counseling, and therefore ensure that sessions and interventions are individualized and intentionally geared toward meeting the client and/or family where they are in their journey toward growth, coping, healing, and empowerment.

Alyssa Finkelstein, LMHC

Hi there! My name is Alyssa, and I specialize in helping others to reach their fullest potential by using evidence-based counseling methods. Many people do not realize that anxiety, depression, panic disorders, unhealthy relationships, and even chronic pain can often be traced back to unresolved trauma, particularly if it took place over a long period of time or targeted your own self-worth. Your story doesn’t have to end there; I can help.

As unique individuals, we benefit most from unique treatment plans, designed to fit our specific needs and goals. I utilize several neuroscience-informed counseling methods, including mindfulness exercises, neuroeducation, and EMDR. I work with couples from a Gottman approach and I also believe strongly in the power of animal assisted therapy, as I have a therapy dog in my office to comfort my clients whenever desired.

It is a privilege to walk with you on your journey toward growth and wholeness, and my first priority is to establish a safe and secure space in which to conduct those explorations. I want you to feel comfortable with me and to feel heard and understood while we take this path together.

I’ve been a member of veteran and first responder communities for over 20 years and I specialize in working with those populations, including those struggling with chronic illnesses and rehabilitative medicine. I am currently involved with the Jacksonville Emergency Medical Auxiliary as a crisis counselor and lay chaplain and I lead a weekly support group with Brooks Rehabilitation for patients recovering from stroke, as well as spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries. Prior to counseling, I also served for fifteen years as an educator and developed a passion for helping adolescents and young adults to navigate their pathways to adulthood.

Chelsey Brooks

I am Chelsey Brooks, a two time graduate of the Florida A&M University, with a passion to serve as a voice for the voiceless. I have worked with adolescents and adults both doing in person and telehealth individual, group, and family therapy. I have aided in the journey of those experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and communication concerns just to make a few. Often times, we have not been given the space to talk about our struggles both past and current. Perhaps we haven’t quite found the language to put to those feelings that we have felt for so long or we weren’t taught how to express ourself effectively.
