All of us have felt overwhelmed, sad, anxious, or stressed. You may feel like the past is constantly intruding on your present. You might feel hyper-vigilant, struggle with nightmares, or find it difficult to trust others. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but it’s the best investment you can make when you prioritize yourself and your well-being. My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I don't just sit and listen; I actively work with you to attain your goals. My goal is to create a secure, non-judgmental space where you feel truly seen and heard, and to help you move from simply surviving to truly thriving
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist who integrates clinical expertise with Christian values to support emotional healing, resilience, and personal growth. I believe that true healing occurs when mind, body, and spirit are nurtured together. My work focuses on helping clients manage stress, regulate emotions and move forward with hope, faith, and intention while honoring each individual's unique journey.
I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of South Florida and my graduate studies at the University of South Carolina. Throughout my career, I have served diverse populations, including children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults. Services are provided to individuals who are physically in the states of SC, FL, GA, PA and OH.
In my spare time I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with my family and friends.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Melanie D’Souza, LMHC with six years of experience helping adults work through depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I am also trained in EMDR, an evidenced-based approach that can help process and heal from past experiences that continue to affect the present.
I am a licensed bilingual therapist who supports individuals struggling with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I place a strong emphasis on trauma-informed care and work collaboratively with clients, meeting them where they are in their healing journey. I have experience working with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking, as well as college-aged students navigating early adulthood. I am trained in EMDR, TIR, and ERP, and I tailor these approaches to each client’s unique needs. I have also presented at local, state, and national conferences on mental health and trauma-related topics.
If you’re feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict, you don’t have to figure it out alone— I can help you break unhelpful patterns and claim the life you want.
I am a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Qualified Supervisor, Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS). I provide therapy for adults in -person in the SWFL area, and across Florida via telehealth. I am currently accepting new clients.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, relationship concerns, and difficulties with emotional and behavioral regulation. I also have advanced experience in anger management, substance use, problematic sexual behaviors, sexual offending behaviors, and court-mandated counseling. My work is grounded in both clinical expertise and real-world application, helping clients not only gain insight but make practical, sustainable changes in their lives.
Hi, I’m Kara Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas, and the founder of Unfiltered Clinical Services. I specialize in working with individuals navigating complex life stressors, trauma, and system involvement, including those connected to the legal or forensic system.
My approach to therapy is real, direct, and grounded in clinical expertise. I create a space where you don’t have to filter your experiences, we work through them together with honesty, structure, and intention. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, or major life transitions, I help you build insight, emotional regulation, and practical coping strategies that actually translate into your daily life.
In addition to therapy, I also provide forensic-focused services, including competency-related support and evaluations. My background in correctional and forensic mental health allows me to understand the intersection between mental health and the legal system, and I bring that perspective into both my clinical and evaluative work.
I have extensive experience in crisis intervention, behavioral health, and working with high-acuity populations. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more aligned with the life you’re trying to build.
If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are but also challenge you to grow, I’m here for that work.
