"I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you work through life's challenges and move toward what matters most to you. "

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's degree in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from the University of Florida. I work with adults navigating life transitions and challenges including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, addictive behaviors, and intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities. Whether you're adjusting to a major change, feeling stuck, or wanting something different for your life, I believe therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and move toward what matters most to you.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable exploring what's important to you. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns keeping you stuck, develop practical coping skills, and move toward your goals.

Starting therapy is a personal decision, and you don't have to know exactly where you want to end up before taking the first step. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you as you work toward the life you want to live. If you feel we may be a good fit, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

"My personal and professional experiences have shaped my trauma-informed approach and my belief that while our experiences influence who we are, they do not have to define us; by understanding the patterns behind our behaviors and reconnecting with what we value most, we can begin making choices that reflect the life we want to live."

My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I help clients understand how their experiences have shaped the way they see themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. Together, we explore patterns, build insight, and work toward meaningful changes that feel true to who you are and where you want to go. When appropriate, I incorporate Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to support trauma healing.

I believe therapy is most helpful when you feel comfortable being yourself and don’t have to arrive with everything figured out. Our work is collaborative, and I’ll meet you where you are while also encouraging you to look at things from new perspectives. We’ll explore what may be keeping you stuck, recognize your strengths, and find practical ways to move toward the life you want.

You don’t need the right words or a clear plan to begin therapy—just a willingness to show up and start somewhere. I encourage clients to ask questions, be curious, and bring their authentic selves into the room. Growth takes time, and the process can look different for everyone. If you’re ready to begin, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

"I believe therapy can be a space to slow down, understand the patterns we come from, and begin making choices that feel more aligned with who we want to be. "

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.

I address these concerns through medication management and psychotherapy. I'm conservative in my treatment plans and will rule out underlying medical issues.

"I am a therapist who works with you to focus on the tougher issues in life so that there are more days in your life that will feel easier.

"I’m Kathleen Joseph, and my path to becoming a therapist started by witnessing a profound truth: even the most resilient among us carry hidden hurts. Early in my career as a mental health counselor, I worked with Division I student-athletes. On the outside, these high-performing humans appear unstoppable, and are capable of leveling even the highest feats. But on the inside, many were silently carrying the burden of trauma, neglect, and systemic violence. Those early experiences changed me. It taught me that strength and suffering often walk hand in hand, and it shaped my lifelong commitment to helping people like student-athletes, who are often forgotten because they appear to have it all, to heal their deepest wounds."

Instead of forcing you to relive past trauma, we work at your pace to respect your boundaries and honor your body. Clients can expect a safe space to untangle the past, build resilience, and feel at home in their skin.

Healing doesn't mean doing it alone or pushing past your limits. Wherever you are in your journey, your story, body, and boundaries will always be honored here. You deserve a safe space to unload what you’ve been carrying and move forward with greater ease and resilience. When you are ready to take that next step, I would be honored to walk with you.
