ZENcentrate® Therapy and Emotional Healing | Ornella Dickson
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, MPA, RCSWI
I help clients truly heal from life or marital crisis, overwhelming sadness, generational trauma, panic attacks, self-defeating thoughts, intimacy issues, anxiety, stress, anger and grief. My expertise is in emotional release therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, clinically supporting and empowering you to finally release the painful emotions and agonizing thoughts that has been consuming your peace. You will begin to love yourself, “Feel Understood”, and adopt the skills to support healthy relationships, restoring you to a healthier sense of self. My style is evidence-based, down-to-earth, client centered and solution-focused with a mixed treatment approach.
For couples, I am passionate about helping you resolve the power struggle “to be heard” that happens in relationships, helping you see that the past can influence how you both show up to each other. We build mutual understanding, conflict resolution and communication skills, and address the areas causing disunity, sometimes that means generational trauma.
I am registered with the Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling, certified in Crisis Prevention Interventions (CPI), specializing in Crisis Stabilization, Marital-Crisis Intervention, Trauma Recovery (TRM), Grief, Substance Abuse, Diagnosis Navigation, Stress, Emotional Disturbances, Body Image and Life Crisis, working in Mental Health for 8 years, and in intensive outpatient and in-patient crisis stabilization since 2021.

Cassandre Charnel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Have you experienced trauma, abuse, relationship challenges or loss? Do you struggle with codependency? Do you have difficulty setting healthy boundaries? Do you want to build self-esteem and confidence? Have your attempts to create meaningful changes in your life been met, repeatedly with short term-success? Are you losing hope with the prospect of a prosperous meaningful future?
Hi! My name is Cassie, and I'm a Christian, faith-based therapist licensed and located in the sunny (and sometimes rainy!) state of Florida. The questions posed above speak to challenges many of us are regularly faced with, but may find it difficult to speak about. Instead, we may find ourselves harboring feeling of shame and guilt which blocks us from pursuing and receiving the help we need.
And if you're not seeking faith based counseling? No problem at all! With over six (6) years of professional experience, and a host of treatment methods to rely on, you can rest assured in my ability to meet you uniquely in your place of need. Ultimately, my desire is to help you reach a place of freedom and peace, where you can begin experiencing incremental yet impactful improvements to your overall wellbeing so your life and relationships can bear the fruit they were always meant to.
I believe there’s hope for everyone, even those feeling utterly defeated in this season of their lives. If you’re here, then take it as evidence; the time for healing is now.
