Hello I am Chemenda Sawyer. I am a licensed mental health therapist in Florida. The decision to seek counseling can be both difficult and overwhelming. Not to mention intimidating. To that end I want to reassure you that I will be non-judgmental and empathetic.
Therapy requires you to be vulnerable and honest yourself. Therapy is also an opportunity for growth and healing. My mission is to provide culturally sensitive service to my clients on their journey to healing.
I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy and mindfulness in my practice. I work collaboratively with my clients to explore negative patterns and find potential solutions, so that they can create healthy relationships with themselves and others.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:
She is very helpful and the best therapist I’ve had.
My therapist provides very good feedback on my mental health and feelings.
Since talking with Chemenda, I've gain some confidence to tackle my life and personal issues with an open mind. I'm very thankful to have her as my therapist and helping with certain point of views that usually draw me to negative perspectives. Overall happy to have her help with my journey and experience.
Chemenda is a great listener and seems to have a good understanding of my condition and I feel comfortable talking to her. I feel that it's very important to have trust with her and she has shown that she is a very calm person and she doesn't pass judgment. I feel comfortable sharing with her and that's the most important part.
Extremely nice and gets into the depths of my anxieties.
