Mariana Carabantes, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
My passion is to help people going through difficult life transitions. Many events in life can affect our stability; divorce, retirement, grief and loss, illness, accidents, losing your job, or living through a pandemic. Sometimes it's even hard to know why we feel how we feel. I help individuals, and also couples, overcome these difficulties.

Maria Mirza
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As far as most people know you have your "life together." But deep down you feel stuck in a routine that feels overwhelming. You want to take the next step in your career or perhaps you want to ask an acquaintance out on a date but the fear of change, failure and self-doubt are holding you back. You have brilliant ideas that you want to share with others but you hesitate to act or speak because you are tormented by thoughts of "I'm not good enough." When you reach out to your friends, your colleagues, or your partner you feel unheard or misunderstood.
You want to do things differently but you feel lost. You want to have a balanced personal/ work life, feel confident about yourself, and be heard in relationships. I can help you recognize the obstacles that are getting in the way of your success and collaboratively work to create change that is meaningful to you.

Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Cindy Yu is a bilingual (English and Mandarin Chinese) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of both Florida and Alabama. She is well-trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, solution-focused therapy, Bowen’s theory, Gottman Method, CBT, and more. Cindy believes that each client is comprised of unique yet charismatic components such as personal upbringings, religious beliefs, and cultural backgrounds, that all contribute to narrate a cohesive personal story. This fundamental ideology has cultivated her into offering her clients unconditional positive regard and respect, while tailoring her treatment orientations to better serve each client’s individuality. Her passion is to help individuals, couples, and families to understand the misunderstood, to discover hope from the hopelessness, to speak the unspoken, and to seek possibilities through the impossible. Cindy also has a background in the medical field where she has obtained a strong foundational knowledge for medical diagnosis and medications. She understands the intricacy between medical burden and mental health.

Matt McDavid
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life often asks us to carry more than we should—self-doubt, overwhelming emotions, and the weight of expectations that feel impossible to meet. Maybe you’ve been told who you should be for so long that the person you are feels hidden. Therapy offers a space to let go of what no longer serves you and step into the life you’ve always deserved.
I’m Matt McDavid, and I specialize in helping insightful, creative individuals who are ready to transform their inner world. Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating life’s challenges, or seeking clarity, I provide a safe and supportive space to explore your story, reconnect with your authentic self, and build a life that feels meaningful and aligned with who you are.
My approach is anything but one-size-fits-all. I believe therapy should feel as unique as you are—creative, collaborative, and rooted in trust. Together, we’ll peel back the layers of self-doubt and conditioned beliefs that have obscured your light. You’ll discover the strength, resilience, and self-compassion that have been within you all along.
Using trauma-informed care and a strength-based perspective, I’ll guide you to release the stories that no longer define you and embrace the truth that you’ve always been enough. Through proven techniques like Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, we’ll uncover tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience.
Therapy with me isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s about transformation. My clients often share that our work has redefined their expectations of therapy, helping them feel truly seen and empowered in ways they never thought possible. They describe rediscovering their inner strength, letting go of what isn’t authentic, and stepping into lives filled with purpose, connection, and joy.
I know taking this step can feel intimidating. But by being here, you’ve already shown incredible courage. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s take the next step together—toward healing, toward clarity, and toward the life you were always meant to live.
Your story isn’t finished. Let’s write the next chapter together.

I'm a Flagler College alumnus ('95) and recently moved back to Saint Augustine with my wife and our three children. I've started my own practice, Elbow Tree Christian Counseling, because I wanted to paint the walls my own color, bring my dog to the office and wear flip flops!
