About

Let's do this together

Charlene Smith & Takiyah Joseph are licensed mental health professionals in the state of Florida versed in several modalities with over 12 years of experience combined. It's our honor to join you on your journey to healing and breakthrough. We share with our clients, regardless of age, healing is a process not a destination. Why? Because life is always happening, and sometimes, you stumble across something and feel ill-equipped to handle it. That’s where we come in! Are you just existing, instead of living? Have you found yourself physically present, but mentally and emotionally absent? Schedule a therapy session with one of us to uncover those things that may be hindering your ability to have quality relationships with others, but more importantly yourself.
