Meet our Team!

Hello, my name is Ismary Lopez and I am the owner and clinical director at Synchronized Counseling Group. I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida. I have completed Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and use Gottman Method Couples Therapy within my work. I comfortably provide therapy In English and Spanish.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, families and adults enduring mental and behavioral health difficulties. Additionally, I have been working in aiding couples to achieve synchrony in their relationship  while providing support to achieve their goals. 

My areas of specialty include emotional and behavioral challenges with individuals who are experiencing mood disorders such as but not limited to depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder in children, adolescents and adults. Moreover, providing parenting support, difficulty adjusting to new life situations, trauma, and gender identity. I also have experience conducting psychological evaluations for individuals undergoing the immigration process.

​

I utilize multiple therapeutic modalities such as but not limited to: Therapeutic Play Techniques, Sandtray Techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I received specific training in treating individuals who have experienced trauma and are displaying symptoms related to their trauma using different modalities such as TF-CBT and Narrative Therapy exercises.

I strive to work together with my clients to create goals and provide them with the tools to optimize their inner strengths through empowerment and support.

Hi, I’m Maryam, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida, where I was born and raised. Proudly of Venezuelan descent, I am bilingual in Spanish and English, which allows me to connect with and support a diverse range of clients.

I earned my undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Health Sciences from the University of South Florida (USF) and later completed my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU). My professional journey has provided me with a wealth of diverse experiences, including working with a mobile crisis unit, outpatient counseling, addiction treatment, and telehealth therapy. These roles have deepened my understanding of mental health challenges and how to provide compassionate, client-centered care.

In my practice, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming environment where you feel empowered to explore and address your treatment goals at your own pace. I take a holistic approach, integrating various evidence-based interventions tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll work on building a coping toolbox, navigating life’s challenges, and creating space to process the thoughts and feelings that can feel heavy to carry alone.

Healing is a collaborative journey, and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Whether you’re seeking support with stress management, mental health symptoms, or simply need a space to unwind and grow, I’m here to help. Let’s embark on this journey together!

Hi, I’m Jeremy Rosario. I graduated from the University of Connecticut with a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies and a Master’s degree in Social Work. I am currently a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern in Florida, working toward full licensure.

I have years of experience supporting students and individuals who need help managing emotions and behaviors. My therapeutic approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a Humanistic perspective, allowing me to meet each person where they are while encouraging growth, resilience, and self-discovery.

I believe therapy should be a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your unique life experiences. At the core of my work is the belief that we are all inherently good and capable of becoming our best selves. My goal is to walk alongside you as you uncover your strengths, overcome challenges, and move toward the life you want to create.

Hi, I’m Judes. I’m a Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern who is fluent in Creole and French and is passionate about walking alongside people as they navigate life’s challenges. I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and collaborative — a space where you can be yourself, explore what’s on your mind, and find new ways to cope, grow, and thrive.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and groups from many different backgrounds. My style is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental, and I approach each client with a genuine desire to understand their story. My education and training — including a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Social Work from Florida Gulf Coast University and certification as a Tobacco Treatment Specialist through FSU College of Medicine — gave me a strong foundation in evidence-based practices, human behavior, and social justice. I continue to build on that knowledge to make sure the care I provide is both up-to-date and tailored to each client’s unique needs.

I have a special passion for working with children, teens, and young adults, helping them build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and feel more confident in who they are. Whether we’re working one-on-one, in a couple’s session, or in a group setting, my goal is always the same: to create a caring, supportive environment where healing and growth can happen.
