Superpower: Working with complex situations and family dynamics

I founded Juno Counseling and Wellness to create a safe, comfortable space for people to escape to, share what’s bothering them, and improve their lives.
I know what it’s like to be in a position where it seems like all roads are closed and how important it is to have someone competent, patient, and understanding to talk to.
Through both my professional and personal experiences, I have a realistic understanding of life, people, and problems. Sometimes, things don’t make sense until you look at them from a different angle. Understanding and working with complicated issues and gaining meaningful insight are my greatest strengths as a therapist. Whatever your problem is, you will not shock me and you will not incur my judgment. I have worked with many complex situations and I can help you as well.
A little more about me: I enjoy arts and culture, literature, and random knowledge. I am also an animal lover and enjoy traveling and experiencing new things. I am passionate about my work, friends, and the things I care about, being both a serious person and someone who loves to laugh. I am originally from Brooklyn, NY.

Therapist, M.Ed. RMHCI
As humans, we are naturally wired to seek connection and acceptance, which can make it feel difficult to reach out for support from others in our lives during trying times. It’s common to feel stuck and insecure in how to proceed, whether this may be individual, relationship or family struggles. Whatever it is you are experiencing, I am prepared to support and guide you to let the best you shine through and overcome the various life stressors with confidence. I believe in the power of accessing emotions to gain clarity into your life and into yourself, allowing you to implement healthy changes to establish a fulfilling existence.
My therapy focuses on self-esteem, stress, empowerment, life transitions, communication, co-dependency, sex, sexuality and relationship issues. I use a compassionate and non-judgmental, humanistic therapy approach utilizing various therapy modalities to cater to each individualized need. I have years of practice in CBT, DBT and am certified in emotionally focused therapy for individuals and couples. I am passionate about helping others, and love working with relationship dynamics.
My counseling journey begins with a background in Health Sciences with a minor in Psychology at Northeastern University where I received my bachelor’s in science degree. I continued my education at Florida Atlantic University earning my master’s in education for Clinical Mental Health Counseling. During my master’s degree, I worked my clinical internships at various substance abuse treatment centers helping individuals as well as their significant others and families. I am originally from Stockholm, Sweden and moved to Florida 15 years ago, and thus am also available to offer therapy in Swedish.
When I am not working, I love spending my time with my son, friends, and family. I am a foodie and love to experience new cuisines and find great places to eat. I enjoy traveling and exploring new places, including locally- every city has their hidden gems!

Katie Bullard
MSW, Registered LCSW Intern
Life is stressful. No one these days goes untouched by trauma. My work as a therapist is inherent to my belief that people want to heal, love and be loved, feel a sense of belonging and acceptance, and fulfill a higher purpose in life. Traumatic experiences, internal pain, family issues, and relationship challenges can all be shifted. My approach is to be human with you, hold space for all that you are experiencing, and help you assign meaning to your suffering.
During our time together, we explore patterns of thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck. Then, we learn skills in emotional regulation, mindfulness, self-compassion, & acceptance to help you re-write your story. With children, adolescents, and families, I specialize in treatment for trauma, behavioral issues, mood disorders, anxiety, self-harm, and parenting skills. With adults, I specialize in relief from anxiety, depression, perinatal mood disorders and trauma treatment.
My expertise comes from a unique balance of professional training and personal experience. Prior to becoming a clinical social worker, I was a client of therapy for many years. Because of this, I understand how nerve-wracking and vulnerable it can feel to begin this work. My goal is to always provide a warm, welcoming space where you are free to be fully yourself. Together, wewill work to help you unlock a deeper sense of purpose, hope, and joy!
I received my Masters of Social Work from Barry University. I am currently a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern working towards independent licensure. Before I pursued a career in social work, I worked as a marine biologist for the state of Florida. During that time, I crossed paths with a dolphin-assisted therapy center and the curiosity of such a thing guided me to this work. I love coming to work every day, but becoming a mother is definitely my life’s biggest privilege. In my free time, I love spending time with family, going to the beach, paddle boarding, gardening, traveling, and live music

Life is hard. We all need support along the way—whether to manage everyday stressors or navigate significant life changes. Therapy can help you develop greater resilience, confidence, and self-awareness throughout all walks of life.
I am pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University specializing in psychotherapy for adults.

Prior to becoming a counselor, I worked in wealth management and consulting, and received a M.S. in Commerce and B.A. in History from the University of Virginia.
I foster clients’ growth by providing a nonjudgmental environment, attentive listening, insightful questioning, and genuine support. My therapeutic style is warm and collaborative with a dose of humor. I believe in an integrative approach and draw upon experience with methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centered Therapy. My specializations include anxiety, stress, depression, career development, and life transitions.
