About

With more than 28 years of clinical background, my experience as a Therapist, Supervisor, Consultant and Professor, I brings a vast knowledge of resources to any client
I work with. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, in Florida and California and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. I am EMDR trained, an EAP consultant and a Master Certified Addiction Professional. My training is in Holistic Health Counseling, and I employ alternative therapies which may include: Equine Therapy, Art/Music Therapy, EMDR, HeartMath Biofeedback, Somatic Therapies, and Nature Therapy to help you find balance.

I consult with working professionals in the field of Nursing, Medicine, Counseling, Law, and other helping Professions. Primarily focusing on Compassion Fatigue, Burnout, Employment issues, 2nd stage recovery (over 1 year in recovery), Grief, Disaster Mental Health Debriefing and Anxiety. Due to the COVID 19 Pandemic, many of us in the helping profession have over extended ourselves and have increased demands on our time. We are trained to take care of others and sometimes face obstacles in taking good care of ourselves.

Using alternative therapies, I can help you find yourself again and regain your health.

I am a graduate of John F. Kennedy University in Orinda, California In Holistic Health Counseling and The University of Florida, Counselor Education MFT Doctoral (COAMFTE) Program. My Current volunteer endeavors include volunteering at a therapeutic riding program for people with various disabilities and leading CEU workshops for therapists who want to learn more about how Equine Therapy can assist their clients in ways that talk therapy cannot.

To help balance and rejuvenate myself I enjoy walks on the beach weekly, hiking and being in nature. My new hobby that is peaking my interest currently is studying mineralogy and geology, and gem mining in North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina. I have been studying Chi Gong and Tai Chi on the beach and enjoy drum circles.

I look forward to getting to know you better as we take this journey together.

Best, Dr. Bracciale, Ph.D, LMFT, MCAP.
