A Peaceful Mind Counseling Group Of Fort Lauderdale a different kind of therapy practice. We hire the best therapists that specialize in each area that we serve. We work differently because we believe that no one therapist can do everything. Some practices have one therapist who works with young children, teenagers, adults, and even seniors in all practice areas.
You see, they don't become really good at one thing because they do a little bit of everything. And our guests avoid this poor quality of care every day.
All of our counselors and therapists in Fort Lauderdale are specifically trained in the area that they practice because we believe that your story deserves an expert. We want to restore the trust that our guests have in counseling, and we do that by the very way we define our clients.
The Encarta Dictionary defines a patient as someone who receives medical treatment, who's willing to endure delays, obstacles, and other problems. A guest, however, is someone that receives hospitality from another. See, we've redefined the practice of therapy in Fort Lauderdale by the very experience that our guests receive from the initial phone call to the moment they enter our office.
We've created an environment within our office that is sacred because we believe that guests should always walk into an office that's welcoming and encouraging with every detail attended to.
From our lighting to our colors and artwork to smaller details like even the tissues we use, every detail matters when you're a guest. And we believe that when we pair that perfect environment with the ideal therapist, our guests heal.
Our commitment to our guests is simple, and it's truly what sets us apart from other therapy practices in the Fort Lauderdale area. If by session four you're not seeing the difference and starting to discover yourself again, we ask that you fire us. We call this our "Get Better Guarantee."
See, we believe that by putting our guests in control of their lives from session one, we allow relationships to establish themselves in trust. The way it should be. Our guests know exactly what they're working on and how much longer therapy will be because it starts to reflect in the quality of life that they're living.
We believe that through this commitment to our guests, we hold ourselves accountable for your results. The quality of the work that our guests do is the very reason they don't need years of therapy, and our guests experience this life change every day.
We always offer a free phone consultation to ensure we have a therapist that can meet your specific needs. We will never work with a guest that we are not completely confident we can help. And if for any reason we're not the right practice, we will personally connect you with the appropriate therapist in your area.
This is truly therapy redefined and what we want to offer you today. At A Peaceful Mind Counseling Group, we don't just offer counseling. We provide results through quality counseling.

Ann Gossy, LCSW
Counselor & Therapist In Fort Lauderdale
Hi. I’m Ann. I am an EMDR Therapist in Fort Lauderdale specializing in working with adults and couples suffering from Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Addiction.
I am passionate about helping middle to late-aged adults discover their best selves and live a life of peace from all their past and present stressors. In my years of work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, substance abuse, or just discovering their best life, I have discovered that it does not take months or years of therapy. It takes an approach that is direct, compassionate, and encourages you to look forward to life outside of therapy.
From effective communication, maintaining healthy relationships, or facing the challenges of everyday life, I see the life-changing results that my clients experience and know that it is just a matter of time before you experience the same peace. I encourage you to call me for a free consultation. We will not agree to work with someone that we are not completely confident we can help, so rest assured that you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
We are all given opportunities in life, and it is never too late to be what you could’ve been or to find the peace you wish you had. As long as you are committed to yourself, together, we can discover your best life and begin living it today.
Learn more about my approach and values, my training and education, and how the counselors and therapists at A Peaceful Mind Counseling Group in Fort Lauderdale can help you overcome the issues affecting your life at the links below.

Anthony Garcia, LMHC-QS, CAP
Owner - Counselor & Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Hi. I’m Anthony. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist In Fort Lauderdale, Who Specializes in Treating Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Veterans, First Responders. I'm also Bilingual and speak English & Spanish.
Let me be the first to tell you; there is hope! Thank you for taking the time to learn about my practice. It takes a lot of strength and courage to get this far, and, if nothing else, I commend you.
I believe it is no coincidence that you found me. As a man of faith, I believe that we are all blessed with gifts that sometimes we need to discover. And when we do, if we polish well enough, those gifts can make us shine brighter than any light on the earth. Turning on that light within you is the gift I was blessed with, and I take great pride in that every day.
So, what has me committed to working in the counseling field? I was born and raised by immigrant parents. I struggled with my identity throughout my adolescent years, and I had to fight hard to avoid the labels given to me by society. Statistics said I would be a high school dropout and would only survive by working dead-end jobs without a successful career or future. That ultimately that same pattern would repeat in my children because we become a product of our environment. Well, I took a stand against being a statistic — and I survived.
And now, I take great pride in helping clients remove negative stigma and influences from their lives. I now want to offer you the same thing I needed when I was searching for answers in my own life—the opportunity to understand your current situation and set a plan for a different future. The best part, you can start experiencing the change in your life from the very first session. You don’t have to go through it alone, and I take great pride in knowing that we will make it there together through our unique approach.

Chandrea Williams, M.S.
Counselor & Therapist In Fort Lauderdale
Hi. I’m Chandrea. I am an EMDR Therapist in Fort Lauderdale specializing in working with Children/Teens & Young Adults, dealing with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Parenting Stressors, or LGBTQ Issues.
First, I want to commend you for seeing therapy as something positive in your life. I understand firsthand the struggles that one can face, trying to live a quality life while struggling with internal battles that many others seem not to understand.
When carried for a long time, these symptoms can lead to a life of feeling helpless and hopeless. It then becomes even more difficult to trust someone like me with your story in hopes that it will make a difference. This is why our approach is so different. We always recommend a free phone consultation to learn about you, your specific situation, and if I am the right fit to help you. This puts you back in control of our time together because that is my opportunity to learn about your situation and explain my approach and how I could help.

Katherine Gutierrez, M.S.
Counselor & Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Hi. I’m Katherine. I am an EMDR Therapist in Fort Lauderdale and specialize in helping people with the following issues, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Addiction, in Children/Teens & Young Adults. I'm also Bilingual and speak English & Spanish.
I too know what it’s like to read a profile on the other end of the room and wonder, “Can this person really help?â€
Whether you are seeking help for yourself or someone you love, the attempts at trying to remedy the situation on your own have probably not gone well. And that is okay. Being here means you still have hope for a better future. Taking the time to be here today and learn about how I can help, is definitely a step in the right direction.
While it is never easy to ask for help, I take pride in knowing that we will never accept to work with you unless we are completely certain that we can help. This is why we always offer a free phone consultation before your appointment.
If you are experiencing difficulties with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, self-doubt, or trauma you are not alone and there is hope. I know it is difficult to see it now, but you are so close to finding the peaceful mind we all deserve.

Kerri Now, LMHC, CAP
Counselor & Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Hi, I'm Kerri. I am an EMDR Therapist in Fort Lauderdale specializing in helping Children/Teens & Young Adults with the following issues: Anxiety, Depression, LGBTQ Issues, Addiction, Trauma, and PTSD.
First, I want to congratulate you on considering therapy and taking that huge first step. I know what it is like to struggle with issues. I tried without therapy on my own for a long time, hoping they would just “go away.†It was not until I sought therapy that I found relief.
I have had bad experiences in therapy, where I had felt like I was not being listened to and felt invalidated, and I found a great therapist that wound up being life-changing. I take these considerations with my clients not only as an individual with degrees but as someone that has sat on the couch like you will be doing.
I want to help you understand what you are going through and set a plan so you do not have to feel burdened any longer. I take great pride and passion in my work.
