Hi! I'm Rachel!
​
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. I received my Bachelor's in Sociology from UNF and my Masters in Social Work from Florida State University. I have worked as a social worker in the medical field for over 15 years with a large portion in the labor and delivery and NICU departments.
I love helping women who need help navigating their parental journey in whatever capacity that may be. I also appreciate our healthcare workers and support them as much as possible.
I am a mother of 2 wonderful kids and enjoy spending as much time with them as possible.

Hi! I'm Sabrina!
I am a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern in the state of Florida, obtaining hours toward licensure.
After staying home with my children and helping my husband start an IT training business, I decided to pursue my passion for helping people by becoming a counselor. I completed a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Mental Health Counseling and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy, both from Colorado Christian University.
My husband and I will be celebrating 20 years of marriage this year and both of our children are now teenagers. In my spare time, I enjoy spending as much quality time with my family as possible.
If you’re struggling in life or your relationships, I would love to walk alongside you in your journey. I welcome you to come as you are and I will offer empathy and compassion. I look forward to working with you.

Hi! I'm Bailey !
​
I am a registered clinical social work intern. I completed my graduate studies at Florida State University. I am passionate about advancing LGBTQ+ rights and creating a welcoming space
that is safe for everyone!
I became interested in mental health care because I wanted to help people be their best selves. We all need help at some point in our lives. I strongly believe that social connection is our
greatest strength through hardship.
In my free time I enjoy rock climbing, cooking vegan food,
cross stitching, and playing games with friends!

I’m a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida.I am a mother of two beautiful children, one of which spent time in
the NICU, I’m the aunt that spoils her sister’s kids, and, I’m a self-care advocate. To me, all those roles are equally important because they create a balance in my life and for the work that I do to help those I meet.

Hi! I'm Lexie!
​
I'm a licensed counselor in Florida, a mom to three great kids, a recovered Postpartum Depression and Postpartum OCD ​mom, and the founder of Her Hope Behavioral Health.
For the last 16 years I've worked with women working hard to recover from addiction; trauma, anxiety, depression, stress due to reproductive health concerns (PCOS, endometriosis, menopause); women dealing with infertility and pregnancy loss; and moms working to recover from anxiety, depression, and OCD during pregnancy and after baby.
​
Some of my favorite things are hearing my kids laugh, time outdoors, gardening, spending time with my family and friends, and listening to music.

Hi! I'm Natalie !
​
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and certified in Perinatal Mental Health and maternal mental health is my passion. I have walked a unique and sometimes lonely journey through motherhood and am the mom of 2 wonderful children. I have had 6 lost pregnancies, secondary infertility, multiple IUI’s, uterine surgery and all of this is what has put me on the path to walk with others while their story’s are being told.
In my free time, you will find me outdoors or working out. Physical health is an outlet for me and is an important reminder to be grateful for what my body is able to do.
In addition to my two kids, I have an amazing husband and 2 dogs.

I graduated from Florida International University with a Masters of Science in Nursing. I’ve spent 14 years caring for women in both private Practice and the hospital setting. As a dedicated women’s health specialist I find joy in not only making sure my patients are happy and healthy but that they feel at peace in every aspect of their lives.

I am a first time mom to an amazing little boy and married to the best woman alive. I have found new joy in experiencing life through the eyes of a toddler. In the rare moments alone I find peace in cooking, shopping and getting to beach as often as I can.

Hi! I'm Hope,
​
I graduated with a BS in Communication Disorders from Bob Jones University in 2016.
I worked in social services for a few years until I became a mom. I then worked in the front office of an OBGYN and fell in love with helping women get the care they deserved. I am now a birth doula and a part of the admin team at Her Hope doing what I love.
​
Most days I am busy with my three boys and the animals on our small homestead when we’re not on camping adventures throughout Florida.
