Jennifer Dahl, MS, CRC, LPC, LMHC
My background includes being a Florida State Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. I have practiced over 30 years in various areas of specialties since earning my master’s degree from Georgia State University. I continued my education at the Ellis Institute in New York City and have an advanced certificate in Rational Emotive Behavioral Techniques and also utilize Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral (DBT) and Brief therapeutic models. These types of techniques are effective for mental health disorders and/or life issues.
Since 2007 I have worked with veterans and their families as a contractor for the Department of Veteran Affairs and a large non-profit organization. I believe this uniquely qualifies me to understand the challenging needs of our armed forces personnel.

Yolmar Rodriguez Chacon, MSW, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a Master’s degree in Social Work from BarryUniversity. It is my passion to work with those who have struggled with trauma in their lives. I have worked with victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, people struggling with childhood trauma, victims of crime, veterans, trauma/emotional pain from medical diagnoses (stigmas), anxiety, depression and grief/loss. I understand healing is individualized to the needs of each person. I am committed to helping individuals affected by trauma heal those invisible scars left behind by emotional, physical and psychological abuse. I can help you find yourself again, and let go of toxic shame, anxiety, and false narratives that trauma has brought into your life. Let’s work together to help you heal. I’m here to serve as a guide, to help you reach your goals through trauma-informed therapy. It won’t always be easy, but you won’t be alone. I say “we” because we can achieve more together than we can alone.
I was born in Venezuela, but moved to Miami, FL in 1994. I joined the United States Army after graduating high school. After serving in the U.S. Army, I moved back to Florida where I began my journey to becoming a Clinical Social Worker. I am the mother of one teenage child. I enjoy spending time with my family, going to the beach and traveling.
