We Welcome our Newest Team Members
Tracy Onal and Christine Schulte Starting in February 2023!

Tracy has a Master of Human Development Counseling Degree from the University of Illinois. She obtained her Bachelor’s in Health and Human Performance from the University of Florida. She is a registered Mental Health Counselor Intern. She is also a Gottman Certified Couples Therapist.

Tracy has experience working in a hospital setting with transplant patients. She values the opportunity to support individuals and their families in times of need, as we all will experience hard times in life. Tracy has a great interest in relationships and what makes them work. She prioritizes understanding core values and helping couples identify places where actions may be misaligned with values. She is especially interested in helping couples who feel “stuck” in negative patterns. Integrating her health and wellness background with her passion to help others, she believes mind, body, and spirit work in sync and strives to guide others to a place of harmony. Her goal for clients is an exploration of inner core values while honoring personal strengths and unique assets. She describes herself as “real”, empathetic and a true optimist.

Tracy grew up in Florida. In her free time she loves spending time with friends and family, running, writing, and traveling.

Parents Please Note: We Now have a Child and Adolescent Therapist!

Christine has a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Hodges University. She is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in the State of Florida. She specializes in Child and Adolescent Therapy and is passionate about integrating both theology and psychology, in order to better support her clients. Christine has a great passion for helping children and teenagers overcome trauma, such as divorce, grief of losing a loved one and helping families reconnect in a healthy way. For the past several years, she has worked with children who have experienced severe trauma and abuse. Her focus is on giving children and young adults their voice back and helping them to achieve their goals.

Christine is currently receiving training in the art of play therapy and has in-depth training in trauma focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She previously did her internship and worked for H.E.A.D.S. Counseling, a therapeutic in-home service for at risk children and their families.

Christine believes that “Life is ever changing and our children´s struggles are always at the highest of our concerns. As parents we can feel lost and out of touch with our children, a frightening aspect of parenthood, but there is hope in overcoming these struggles and having a calmer and productive relationship with your child.” She looks forward to gently guiding your child or teenager in the process of finding their self-esteem, motivation and happiness.

Christine grew up in Germany and the United States. She is devout Christian and a mother of a beautiful girl.

Recommended Mental Health Apps for Your Phone

The use of Mental Health Apps have exploded during the pandemic. They can not only be useful during these difficult times with so many families staying at home, but they can be a tool that you can use with your therapist as you do work outside your session. We recommend you visit our new resource page that has an extensive list of apps based on diagnosis or issue.
