Meet A Licensed Therapist in Florida: Certified Trauma Specialists Dedicated to Helping Helpers
Healing Speak Counseling was founded in 2018 with a clear mission: to help those who don’t think they can be helped. As a licensed therapist Florida practice, we specialize in treating empaths, caregivers, and helping professionals—nurses, physicians, therapists, teachers, and students—who struggle with complex trauma, dissociative disorders, and the aftermath of narcissistic abuse. Our certified trauma specialist brings over 11 years of clinical experience to provide the specialized care you deserve.
Too many people are told their symptoms are untreatable or are dismissed by providers who don’t understand the complexity of their struggles. As a personality disorder therapist with advanced certifications, our founder recognized that these individuals simply needed different approaches—techniques that go beyond traditional talk therapy to create real, neurological change.
Our clinical director is a licensed therapist in Florida with credentials that set us apart from big box therapy platforms. Holding an LCSW Florida license and a Master’s Degree from Barry University, our founder brings specialized expertise as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II), Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider, and Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Provider.
What makes our EMDR therapist approach unique is the commitment to treating cases that others find difficult. After spending years in substance abuse and community mental health settings, our founder developed a deep understanding of complex trauma, personality disorders, and the specific challenges faced by empaths and caregivers. This experience shaped the philosophy behind Healing Speak Counseling: everyone deserves specialized care that creates lasting change.
Why Our Certified Trauma Specialist Approach Creates Real, Lasting Change
Many clients come to us after traditional therapy didn’t work. They’ve sat in sessions where they talked without resolution, where their trauma remained unprocessed, and where they felt their therapist didn’t truly understand the complexity of their situation. As a certified trauma specialist, our founder recognized these patterns and made a commitment: if we can help, we help quickly and efficiently. If we can’t help, we honestly refer you to someone who can.
This honest, ethical approach is rare in mental health care. We refuse to draw out treatment unnecessarily or “milk” clients for extended sessions. Our LCSW Florida practice operates with integrity—you deserve efficient, solution-focused care that respects your time, energy, and resources.
Being a licensed therapist Florida is just the starting point. What distinguishes Healing Speak Counseling is our advanced training in evidence-based techniques that create real change. Our EMDR therapist certification allows us to help clients reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. We’re also trained in Brainspotting, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Somatic Therapy—techniques that access trauma stored in the subcortical brain and body.
As a personality disorder therapist, our founder completed specialized certification to understand the complex dynamics of conditions like Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and the impact of narcissistic abuse on survivors. This expertise is critical for empaths and caregivers who have experienced these relationships and need therapists who truly understand their experiences.
Our founder’s belief is simple but profound: anyone can get better, and everyone is good at heart. As an LCSW Florida provider specializing in complex cases, we love working with tough cases because everyone deserves peace. We stay current with the latest research and continuously learn new techniques, ensuring our certified trauma specialist commitment means staying at the forefront of evidence-based practice.
As a Black male licensed therapist Florida, our founder brings unique cultural perspective and sensitivity to treatment. We understand intersectional identities and provide culturally competent care for diverse populations, including LGBTQIA+ clients. This perspective enriches our work as an EMDR therapist and personality disorder therapist, allowing us to connect with clients from all backgrounds.
If you’re a helper who needs help, an empath struggling after narcissistic abuse, or someone who has tried therapy without success, our licensed therapist Florida practice is here for you. We believe you can get better, and we have the expertise to help you find peace again.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis and need immediate help, please contact the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 or visit SAMHSA’s National Helpline for free, confidential support 24/7.

The clinic offers top-notch services and a welcoming atmosphere. The doctor took the time to explain everything in detail and offered practical solutions to improve my health naturally. My only suggestion would be to reduce wait times, but overall, it was an excellent experience.
I’ve visited many clinics before, but this one stands out for its compassionate approach. The practitioners here truly care about your well-being and focus on treating the root cause of your issues rather than just the symptoms. I feel healthier and more balanced than ever!
