Shanecia N. Harvey, MS, RMHCI
Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern
Shanecia Harvey is a Mental Health Counselor in Florida. She works with Adults and couples of all ages. Many of Ms. Harvey’s clients come in to address anxiety, depression, life transitions and parenting. Ms. Harvey is particularly passionate about serving women and children. She also have advanced training in school counseling.
Ms. Harvey is trained in Cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness based CBT, and person centered modalities in which she examine thoughts, beliefs and behaviors to identify if they are helpful and shift them into healthier habits and beliefs. In session, Ms. Harvey focuses on grounding, emotional regulation and self care. This approach supports clients to openly express their thoughts and emotions with clarity on how to care for themselves.
Ms. Harvey's style is open, non judgemental and supportive. When clients first start therapy, we will work to understand your history of current symptoms and relational dynamics along with identifying your therapeutic goals.
Ms. Harvey received her Masters in School Counseling from Capella University. She has worked at working as a certified school counselor within the school system. Outside of private practice, She enjoys spending time with my family to make prominent memories traveling or trying out new local spaces. Shanecia only provides telehealth sessions to clients that reside in FL.
Deserae Anderson, MA, RMCHI
Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern
Sometimes life asks more of you than you feel ready to give. Anxiety creeps in, transitions feel overwhelming, and it can be hard to know where to turn — especially when you're still figuring out who you're becoming. If that resonates with you, you're in the right place.
Deserae is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in the Tampa Bay area specializing in anxiety, depression, life transitions, and coping skills for adults and adolescents. As an African American woman and clinician, she brings genuine cultural awareness into every session — so you never have to shrink your story to be understood. Drawing from Person-Centered therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and strength-based approaches, Deserae creates a space that feels safe, judgment-free, and grounded in who you actually are.
Her style is warm, engaging, and thoughtful. She meets you where you are — whether you're navigating the pressures of young adulthood, processing stress, or simply trying to feel more like yourself again. You don't have to have it all figured out to begin. Deserae is here to walk alongside you.
Deserae offers virtual therapy across Florida.
LaTranette Long, LMHC-QS, LPC, CCATP
Licensed Mental Health Counselor-Qualified Supervisor
I became a therapist because I understand what it means to carry patterns that were never yours to begin with. As a woman of color, I know that anxiety often isn't just about today — it's about everything that was passed down, absorbed, and quietly accepted as normal. The pressure to be strong. The wounds from how you were parented. The version of yourself that got buried somewhere along the way. That's the work I'm here for.
I specialize in anxiety and life transitions with a deep focus on generational healing — helping women of color connect the dots between their present struggles and the patterns rooted in their family history. I'm trained in perinatal mental health, and I support women navigating the emotional weight of parenting, including the inner child wounds that often surface when we become mothers ourselves. My approach is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, drawing from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness — tailored to your story, not a template.
After 14 years in this work, what I know for sure is this: healing doesn't just change you — it changes what you pass on. When you're ready to break the cycle and come back to yourself, I'm here to walk alongside you.
Healing doesn't just change you — it changes what you pass on!
I offer virtual therapy across Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
Qualified Supervisor for Florida Registered Interns and mentor for graduate students.
