Your Partner in Personal Growth

Rana Abbas LMHC, LPC, NCC

I am Rana Abbas, a licensed professional counselor in the states of Florida, Michigan, Virginia, Arizona, and Washington State. I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and families on their journey toward mental and emotional well-being and healthy relationships.

As a mental health counselor, my mission is to create a safe and empathetic space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. I firmly believe in the strength of collaboration, viewing the therapeutic relationship as a partnership.

Together, we can work towards understanding your challenges, identifying strengths, building strong communication skills, setting boundaries, and developing effective strategies to navigate life’s complexities. Whether you’re facing specific issues, seeking personal growth, building healthy relationships, managing anxiety, depression, anger, or coping with the impact of trauma, I am here to provide support, guidance, and encouragement.

My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, and I draw from various therapeutic modalities to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. I value the uniqueness of each individual and recognize the importance of cultural sensitivity in our work together.

Embarking on the path to mental health is a courageous and empowering step. I am committed to helping you build resilience, enhance self-awareness, and cultivate the skills needed to lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you on your journey to well-being.

Peter Copan RMHCI

Hi, I’m Peter Copan. Before stepping into the mental health field, I worked in tech as a writer and project manager, and before that, I was a field researcher working in South Asia. My work has taken me to Latin America, Asia, and many places in between, but looking back, I realize that discovering and understanding people and relationships has always been at the heart of what I love doing. I’m endlessly fascinated and moved by stories, the ways we tell our own stories, and the ways our stories impact the people we are.

Over time, I’ve become convinced that each person is inherently amazing, and that our ability to embrace the beauty of who we are can get blocked by the pain we carry—sometimes without even knowing it. Uncovering and recovering that amazingness that’s always been there has become a passion and a joy of mine.

For me, walking alongside clients in a caring and curious way is at the heart of the therapy process. I’m here to support, not just as a mental health professional, but as a fellow traveler and fellow human. I’m here to get curious with you about your life and story and work together to discover what you need to thrive in your life.

I use a variety of modalities depending on the need of the client, but my main approach blends attachment-based therapy, trauma-informed therapy, family systems, Internal Family Systems / parts work, and narrative therapy.

I do my best to be a kind, authentic, hospitable presence with every client, and seek to create an atmosphere where people can be themselves and to be brave.

Jillian Jaiman MSWI

Hi, Im Jillian Jaiman. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from the University of Central Florida and my Master’s degree in Social Work from Columbia University. Growing up in Central Florida deeply shaped who I am, and the Sunshine State continues to feel like home to me. I value warmth, openness, and authenticity—qualities that guide both my personal life and my work as a therapist.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in somatic and narrative techniques, with a strong emphasis on helping clients reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and personal stories. I believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to explore not just what we think, but what we feel and experience in our bodies. I also draw from evidence-based modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other interpersonal approaches, allowing me to tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs, goals, and stage of life. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I collaborate closely with clients to find what feels most supportive and effective for them.

I have experience working with clients across the lifespan and supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, trauma, life transitions, and moments of acute stress or crisis. My work is trauma-informed and rooted in compassion, curiosity, and respect. I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels nonjudgmental, collaborative, and empowering—one where clients can show up exactly as they are and move at a pace that feels right for them.

Outside of the therapy room, I find grounding and balance through yoga, which has deepened my appreciation for the mind–body connection and strongly influences my somatic work. Yoga has taught me the value of presence, breath, and gentle awareness—tools I often integrate into sessions when appropriate. I also love spending time with my cats, who constantly remind me of the importance of rest, play, and attunement. These small, everyday joys help keep me centered and connected, both personally and professionally.
At the heart of my work is a belief in each person’s capacity for growth, resilience, and meaningful change. Therapy is not about fixing what is “wrong,” but about understanding your story, building insight, and developing skills that support a more fulfilling and connected life. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they navigate challenges, deepen self-understanding, and move toward the life they want to create.
