Meet our newest member of the team, Mandi Rogers!

“I have a passion for helping individuals and couples create meaningful, lasting change. My path here wasn’t linear—it took me from newsrooms to TV sets to a few different continents—but each stop taught me something about people, connection, and the stories that shape us. Born in the Midwest and raised in China, I learned early that empathy crosses every cultural line. After earning my degree from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) and working in television production in Los Angeles, I realized my true calling wasn’t just telling stories—it was helping people rewrite their own. Now back in Florida, I work with adolescents, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and the wild ride of parenting. Outside the office, you’ll find me running, hiking, exploring new restaurants, or putting my many memberships (Tampa Zoo, Florida Aquarium, Ananda Farms—to name a few) to good use. I’m a fan of Lagree fitness, comedy shows, true crime, and chocolate—and happiest anywhere with ocean air or mountain views. Above all, my children are my greatest teachers and daily reminder of what truly matters.”

More about Mandi:

What are your favorite books about the mind/therapy? It’s tough to narrow it down, but my current top three are Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb, Good Morning, Monster by Catherine Gildiner, and How Does That Make You Feel? by Joshua Fletcher. I love these books because they’re insightful and thought-provoking while still feeling accessible and deeply human—engaging reads that explore the mind and therapy without getting overly clinical.

When you feel overwhelmed, what's your go-to tool? Walking. There’s something incredibly therapeutic about getting outside and moving while taking in fresh air—it’s an immediate tool I can always rely on. What makes walking even better is its versatility: I might catch up with a loved one on the phone, listen to music or an audiobook, or simply focus on my breath and be present in the moment.

Who would you invite to your dream dinner party? Adam Sandler. His humor is goofy and approachable, while his energy feels authentic—I’d trust him to make the evening fun without ever feeling intimidated.

What's your favorite pre-session snack? Peanut butter M&M’s for when I need a little pick-me-up, and Brad’s Everything Zucchini Flats for when I’m trying to be “good.” Balance, right?

What do our jobs, needs, relationships, and hobbies all have in common? First, they are all in fierce competition for our precious time. There are only so many hours in the day, and only so many days in a life. Second, and perhaps more important, they all start to lose meaning without a healthy sense of balance.

In this life, we cannot escape suffering. But when we strike the right balance, we can thrive even amidst the unpredictable tidal shifts of the human heart. By working with counselors like us, we can help you create balance where once was chaos, and acceptance where once was suffering.

It’s 2026, and our entire team agrees: this is the perfect year to heal your life.

Unnecessary suffering was for 2025. What felt right and even chic then is no longer serving us now. That means no more feeling sorry for yourself, no more self-sabotage, and no more pushing through alone when you’d be better off asking for help.

Now, let’s talk logistics. If we’re going to avoid those three beloved American pastimes (self-pity, self-sabotage, and self-neglect), then naturally, we’re freeing up a lot of time. How do we spend it?

Easy! We spend it learning how to care for ourselves properly, including getting support for anxiety, depression, and trauma.

"I have been where you are. Overwhelmed, stressed, looking for clarity, wanting to rediscover my purpose, and unsure of how to move forward." - Alli

Alli is here to help you find joy in 2026.

"I can help you reignite your inner child-like wonder, finding joy in the present moment and moving through the worries that might be holding you back. If you know that there is something more out there than the life you are currently living and you need someone to guide you, help check your blindspots, and hold the lantern for you as you illuminate your shadows, I am that person for you. The techniques I am passionate about are creative and expressive as well as somatic and body informed therapies. I believe that once we are able to regulate our body and our nervous system, we have the strength to move through negative thoughts. I also believe that joy and a positive atmosphere can enhance the therapeutic experience. I incorporate elements of playfulness, creativity, and lightheartedness when appropriate, fostering an environment where laughter and enjoyment coexist with the healing process."

"I believe in the magic of connection and creativity. When they’re missing, depression and disconnection sneak in and cloud our mind. I believe creativity and self-awareness can change our internal dialogue. If you are nervous, but looking to try out therapy or return after some time, I definitely encourage you and I am here to help." - Quinn

Quinn is here to help you think creatively in 2026.

"Are you a 20-something struggling with adjusting to a life transition, finding your true identity, and having solid relationships in your life? Are you looking for a creative approach to your therapy sessions?

I can help! Grief, guilt, doubt, heaviness, anxiousness are all human emotions, but when we experience these for long periods of time without relief, it’s time to talk to someone.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment, a break-up, loneliness, disconnection from self or others, or life transitions, you may benefit from seeing a therapist. I specialize in art therapy and talk therapy and I utilize an eclectic approach. I assess each and every individual client to evaluate which approach may work best. My theoretical approaches include mindfulness, person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and narrative therapy."

"Are you an individual with depression, anxiety, and/or autism looking for support? Do you seek a body-informed approach to your therapy sessions with mindfulness and grounding techniques at the forefront of your care? I can help." - Michael

Michael is here to help you find balance and purpose in 2026.

I remember going through the motions of living life how I thought others wanted me to live. I was always putting others first and myself second, and although I gained joy from some of these experiences, knowing that I was not true to myself and who I wanted to be made me feel lazy and unfulfilled. It wasn’t until I began practicing and learning the martial arts that I felt a calling to use the energy I was working with to incorporate it into my daily interactions and introspection. While I was working on my Masters, the teachings of martial arts and eastern philosophy coincided with my academic lessons in a way that gave me perspective on how I could better myself, my mood, and hopefully the lives of those around me. Since then, I have felt a great improvement on my outlook and my ability to assist others in battling their own struggles and crossroads."

Somatic therapy can help you begin to understand your own bodies wisdom.

When you learn to feel the feelings in your body without fear and anxiety, you are able to process your emotions easier.

When you have a feeling and attach anxiety to it, that feeling goes unprocessed and gets stuck within the body.

Being able to process your emotions in a healthy way starts with feeling your feelings without attaching a story or a narrative to it, and letting it move through you.

Typically, it takes about 90 seconds for an emotion to do its thing.

If you let it do it’s thing without shaming it, the emotion gets processed, you honor it, and then you move forward.

When we live with untreated anxiety, it can feel like there is danger and disaster around every corner. Our bodies are ill-equipped to handle unmanaged anxiety for long periods of time, and on a long enough timeframe, anxiety can start to feel like a physical illness rather than a mental one. Anxiety disorders can raise your heart rate, cloud your thinking, and even deepen your physical pain.

When we work with the right therapist, we can learn how to treat each of these symptoms and fight chronic anxiety the same way our body fights off a nasty cold.
