For much of my life, I faced challenges that tested my emotional resilience and sense of self. Through my own healing journey, I learned the value of slowing down, reflecting, and developing healthy coping tools. Over time, I became the friend and support system others could turn to during their hardest moments. My experiences have taught me the importance of listening with compassion, respecting each person’s unique story, and creating a safe space where people feel truly seen. Now, I want to share that same steady presence to help others navigate change, rebuild confidence, and discover their own inner strength.

The pandemic disrupted more than routines - it reshaped identities , relationships and the way many of us relate to our bodies, boundaries and beliefs . For me COVID-19 wasn't just a global event; it was a personal reckoning. Isolation bought clarity, loss revealed what was unsustainable . In my own life I had to re-evaluate what safety meant, how I showed up in relationships an what parts of me were worth preserving - not just performing, especially during a time of great changes.

I’ve been the full-time caregiver, the one people lean on, the one holding it all together—and I know the deep cost it can take on your body, your spirit, and your sense of self. I’ve lived through compassion fatigue, emotional depletion, and the aching silence that comes when no one asks how you’re doing. Through my own healing journey—using mindfulness, spiritual practice, and support—I’ve learned how to create space that honors both your exhaustion and your love. I don’t offer advice. I offer presence, perspective, and a place to lay something down.If you’re always the strong one, the caregiver, the steady presence—this space is for you. I offer grounded, judgment-free support for people experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue. Whether you're parenting, caregiving for a partner or elder, or working in a helping profession, I know what it’s like to give until you disappear. In our session, you’ll have space to name what’s hard and not feel selfish for needing help.

As someone who knows the reality of navigating life with neurodivergence, I understand the overwhelm of trying to fit into a world that often feels like it wasn’t built for you. Whether it’s the racing thoughts of ADHD, the cycles of OCD, the depth of autism, or the weight of depression and anxiety, I’ve been there. Through my own journey, I’ve learned that being neurodivergent isn’t something to fix, it’s something to honor. By working with our unique wiring instead of against it, we can create rhythms, boundaries, and strategies that actually feel supportive. Now, I help others uncover their strengths, soften the shame, and build a life where their differences are not just tolerated but valued.

I know what it feels like to be burnt out, to be tired in your body, numb in your spirit, and overwhelmed by responsibilities that never seem to end. For years I tried to push through, believing rest had to be earned. But what I learned is that burnout isn’t a malfunction or weakness, it’s a signal. It’s your body and mind begging for a new way of being. Through my own healing, I discovered how to step off the hamster wheel, slow down, and actually hear myself again. Now, I help others honor their limits, create rhythms of rest, and rebuild their energy without guilt. Together we’ll find sustainable ways to feel human again.

At the age of 25 after having my two daughters I learned about postpartum depression, and was diagnosed with Asperger’s. Since then I have navigated life as a mother, spouse, educator and advocate for disability justice and I would like to help bring equity and inclusivity to the world

Suffering from chronic illnesses and difficulties taught m how to be a better advocate for myself so I know the pain of doctors, medicines, and treatments. and i am here to provide hope and resources so that you dont have to travel the road of pain suffering and agony alone

I know what it’s like to second-guess everything and feel like an imposter in rooms where everyone else seems more confident, more capable, more 'put together.' I’ve battled those thoughts in friendships, work, creative projects, and more. No matter how much I accomplished, that little voice telling me I wasn’t enough kept creeping in. Over time, I’ve learned that imposter syndrome isn’t a sign that you aren’t capable—it’s often a reflection of deep self-awareness, high standards, and past experiences that made you doubt your worth. Working through it isn’t about silencing those thoughts completely; it’s about recognizing them, questioning them, and learning how to move forward anyway. Through peer support, I’ve helped others navigate these feelings—validating their fears while uncovering strategies to build confidence in who they are. You don’t have to prove your worth to anyone. You just have to see it for yourself.

I thought resilience meant pushing through—gritting my teeth, swallowing feelings, and forcing myself to ‘just deal with it.’ But that left me drained and butting against as brick wall. You see, strength isn’t just enduring struggles; it’s about adapting, processing, and allowing yourself space to heal. Self-compassion was the hardest piece. I didn’t realize how much I held myself to unrealistic standards, expecting perfection where I should’ve offered myself grace. Over time, I started embracing the idea that strength isn’t about ignoring pain—it’s about acknowledging it and choosing how to move forward with care. Through my work in peer support, I’ve helped others cultivate resilience in a way that feels sustainable—balancing the need for self-protection with the power of self-kindness. If you’ve ever felt like you’re being too hard on yourself or struggling to recover from challenges, I get it. Let’s explore ways to navigate life with strength and softness.

I know firsthand what it feels like to ride the highs and lows of a mood disorder. I was diagnosed with Bipolar I, Rapid Cycling with Psychotic Features in my early 20s, after an involuntary hospitalization. At first, I struggled: going off medication, landing back in the hospital, and feeling like a shadow of myself. That was my turning point. From there, I committed to a wellness plan that truly supported my life. I’ve immersed myself in wellness and mental health education, including multiple college and university courses. I actively practice and teach skills from CBT, ACT, and DBT—tools that help me navigate challenges every day. Because I’ve been there, I can go there with you too. Together, we can talk openly about the ebb and flow of living with a mood disorder, whether you need validation, new coping strategies, or just someone who truly understands. This is a safe space where you don’t have to explain yourself: you can simply be heard, supported, and met with empathy.

As a mom of three, I know firsthand the complexities of raising kids in today’s world, especially when mental health struggles are part of the journey. My kids have faced a range of challenges, including learning differences, anxiety, and depression. One of my children was severely impacted by bullying, which led to mood disruptions and a lot of pain. The pandemic and the rise of technology have only added to the isolation they feel. It can be a scary place, not knowing where to turn for support or understanding. I’ve watched my children struggle, but I’ve also seen them make progress. It’s not easy, but I’ve learned the importance of leaning on the right resources—behavioral therapy, support from family and friends—and the power of connection. I’ve also supported a dear friend through her own challenges with her children, offering a safe space for her to talk openly about her situation. It helped her feel less alone, knowing others were going through similar struggles. Now, I want to provide that same kind of support to others who are navigating the often tough and isolating road of parenting kids with mental health challenges.

Midlife is not for the faint of heart!! I am a 45 year old woman, going through peri-menopause, living sober, with a husband of 20 years and two children, ages 20 and 16. So I get it ladies. Mental health challenges, physical challenges, life goals and values are different now than they were twenty plus years ago… but we are wiser now too!! With experience and wisdom, along with a few wrinkles, we have stamina and mental endurance that we need to harness and nurture. A year before I turned 40, I moved my family from the Northeast (where I had always lived) to the sunny shores of southeast Florida. I demanded that the next chapter of my life be on my terms, focusing on my own mental and emotional health and wellbeing. After years of being a caretaker, it was my turn to look inward and refocus my intentions creatively to build a life that reflects who I want to be and how I want to impact the community around me. We all deserve to live purposefully, one day at a time.

I was studying psychology in college and dreamed of becoming a psychologist. But before I even graduated, I began experiencing delusions and deep emotional swings I couldn’t explain. I was eventually diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and everything shifted. My diagnosis made it feel like my career goals slipped out of reach, and I lost my footing. I turned to substances like weed, alcohol, psychedelics to cope. I found myself in a string of chaotic and toxic relationships, including one that turned physically abusive. I overstayed, not trusting myself to leave, until I finally reached a breaking point. Medication helped, but so did having people in my life who reminded me I was still worthy of love and healing. Meeting my now-husband helped me believe in my future again. I got sober in 2023, and even though I still live with bipolar disorder, it no longer defines what I can’t do, it helps me know exactly what I need to thrive. If you’re navigating life after diagnosis, I want you to know you’re not alone. There is a path forward, and it gets clearer with time and support.

For years, I tied my value to how others saw me, especially in familial and romantic relationships. I experienced emotional abuse that slowly chipped away at my self-esteem. I became overly accommodating, confused love with approval, and didn’t know how to speak up for myself. I reached a point where I hardly recognized myself. My healing began when I stopped looking outside myself for validation and started listening inward. Through prayer, therapy, journaling, and lots of reflection, I learned how to love the woman I was becoming. I became certified in life and relationship coaching because I wanted to give others what I wish I had—someone to remind them of their worth when they can’t see it. I also created a support group for women where we talked honestly about self-image, boundaries, and joy. I realized that so many of us are silently struggling with how we see ourselves. Now, I live with clarity, peace, and a deep love for who I am, and I want to help others experience the same.

I live with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and polymyalgia rheumatica: chronic pain and fatigue that nobody can see while everyone expects me to just "power through." I know what it's like to look fine but feel terrible, and how exhausting it gets explaining why some days I can function and others I can't. And the constant unsolicited advice? Exhausting. I'm here for the real conversations about living with invisible illness. The guilt from canceling plans again, the frustration of medical gaslighting, the isolation when people don't understand that "getting better" isn't always the goal. No forced positivity, no pressure to be grateful for "lessons." Just honest talk about navigating life when your body doesn't cooperate and the world isn't built for people like us. I know how lonely chronic and invisible illness can be. You're not alone.

I am no stranger to stress! My background in health psychology and experience with the therapeutic process can help you achieve your goals of managing and coping with stress, in addition to regulating emotions. The mission isn't to rid our lives of stress - which is impossible - but to develop a healthy relationship with life's challenges and ourselves, and feel comfortable facing unpleasant emotions.

I’ve spent way too many nights trying to fall asleep with a brain that insists on replaying that one awkward moment from three years ago or analyzing every possible outcome of a decision I haven’t even made yet. Sound familiar? Overthinking can look like productivity on the outside like you’re being thorough or responsible. But on the inside? It’s often anxiety wearing a clever disguise. It’s fear of failure, fear of regret, fear of what people will think. And it can leave you stuck in loops: what if I mess up? What if I’m too much? What if I’m not enough? I used to think I just needed to “think my way out” of feeling overwhelmed. But that strategy kept me spinning. What actually helped was learning how to name what I was feeling underneath all the thoughts, to pause the mental ping-pong match, and to stop treating myself like a problem to be solved. If your mind is constantly racing, if you’re tired of second-guessing yourself into paralysis, or if you just want someone to help you sort through the noise—I'm your girl.

I’m Krista, and for years I battled with low self-worth and shattered confidence after surviving toxic relationships that left me questioning who I was. Those experiences broke me down but also became the turning point that sparked my journey toward healing and reclaiming my voice. Through deep personal work and my career in social work, child protective services, and counseling at a federal halfway house, I discovered the power of resilience and compassion—not just for others but for myself. Now, as a coach, I’m passionate about helping people who feel stuck or broken, especially those recovering from toxic relationships. I walk beside them to rebuild confidence, find their worth, and believe in a future filled with hope. Your story matters, and healing is possible no matter where you’ve been.

I'm a 32 year old woman who survived childhood sexual abuse and eventually got diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. I have experience with self harming, eating disorders, the pain of losing friends over something you feel like you can't control, and the grief of cutting out toxic family members. I attempted suicide in my late teens and basically had to figure out how to recover from that and make a life for myself all on my own. It took me a long time to figure out how to have more control over my emotions, how to get through feelings of abandonment, how to resist impulsive behaviors, and how to begin forming a stable self-identity. I've wondered for a long time how I can use this pain and all the bad experiences to help others, and I hope I've finally found a way.

Hello, my name is Jamie Henkin and I’m a Certified Peer Support Specialist. I experienced mild depression as a young child and it seemed to increase along with added anxiety as I grew older. I noticed it having a profound effect in and on my life as I entered my 30’s. I wasn’t as knowledgeable about healthy coping skills back then as I am now. Over the last 25 years, I used therapy and prescription medications to cope with my anxiety and depression, though not consistently. Unfortunately, in stressful times, when I couldn’t manage my symptoms, I turned to drug and alcohol use, which led me to hit rock bottom three times. All of these periods, included suicidal ideations, and two of them alcohol related consequences. Several months ago, I spent 30 days in a residential treatment center which saved my life and taught me healthy coping skills. It’s my goal to pass on my knowledge to you in the hopes that you can heal as well.
