I’m Dr. Saarah Nicolas, a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of experience helping people heal from trauma. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, I support clients in overcoming PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and other trauma-related challenges.
Trauma can deeply affect our sense of self, relationships, and daily life—but you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll explore your experiences and develop tools to help you move forward with balance and confidence.
As a biracial Black Jamaican woman, I integrate cultural responsiveness into therapy to ensure clients feel seen and understood. I have extensive experience working with Veterans, women, male sexual trauma survivors, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC individuals. I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Southern Mississippi and began my career in the Veterans Affairs system, specializing in complex trauma.
Having overcome my own traumas with the support of therapy, I know firsthand the power of healing. My goal is to provide a compassionate, authentic, and safe space where you can reclaim your life and thrive.
For over a decade, Dr. Carlos Garcia has helped individuals and leaders break free from limiting patterns, rebuild confidence, and unlock their true potential. His work goes beyond symptom management, uncovering the deeper fears and beliefs that keep people stuck, and guiding them toward lasting transformation.
Dr. Garcia specializes in executive coaching and performance healing, supporting high-achieving professionals in overcoming internal barriers, reconnecting with purpose, and stepping into greater clarity, resilience, and confidence. He also treats anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma, and brings a unique understanding of how faith and spirituality intersect with mental health.
Before becoming a psychologist, Dr. Garcia served as a U.S. Marine, firefighter, and paramedic—experiences that shaped his perspective on resilience and grounded leadership. He earned his doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Nova Southeastern University and completed his residency at Rutgers University.

I am a recent graduate of the University of South Florida with a Master’s in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling. My work is rooted in a Psychodynamic approach, helping clients identify and process unresolved past experiences that may still be shaping their present. I believe that while our past does not define us, it influences how we see ourselves—and therapy can give us the power to reshape our lives with greater understanding, healing, and self-acceptance.
In our sessions, I aim to create a safe, individualized experience tailored to your needs. I integrate a variety of therapeutic frameworks to support symptom reduction and collaborate with clients to build practical toolboxes of coping skills. Whether we begin with immediate challenges or deeper past experiences, I will meet you where you are most comfortable.
I have experience across diverse settings, including inpatient hospitals, the Clearwater Public Defender’s Office, and the University of Tampa counseling center.
