Ilana Lane
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Are you an "overachiever" who is feeling anxious, burned out, stressed, and/or just generally "out of alignment"? Is this impacting your ability to show up in your various life roles (whether that be as parent, employee, caregiver, etc.) in the ways that you'd like? I am passionate about working with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by juggling life's various roles and are looking to get back into alignment with what matters most to them. Together, my clients and I work on identifying their priorities and values, addressing what's been getting in the way, and implementing concrete skills and tools to get them feeling back to themselves. I only implement psychological approaches that have been proven to work, while also having a treatment approach that is highly individualized and holistic - rather than viewing you as a diagnosis, I recognize that you are a unique person with your own unique goals, dreams, and values, and my goal is to partner with you as you move closer and closer to living a life that is in alignment with those things that matter most to you. As a psychologist who is authorized under PSYPACT, I am able to provide Telehealth services to clients in over 40 states. If you are interested in seeing if we might be a good fit, please feel free to reach out to schedule a free initial 15-minute consultation call.

Dr. Christina J. Gonzalez
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LMHC, NCC
Are you facing challenges in your life? I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
