Dr. Kinsey Pocchio, LMFT
Founder, Director, and Primary Therapist
I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees from Mercer University in Macon, Georgia and earned my Ph.D in Marriage and Family Therapy at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. I have a long history of helping my clients through major life transitions and providing them with the training and support to start the next chapter of their lives with ease! I love to challenge myself and my clients and believe that each client brings something unique to therapy.
As a marriage and family therapist, I am trained to see individuals, couples, and families. I offer a judgement free space in which we can discuss whatever is bothering you. I enjoy working with individual clients who have relationship issues including a recent divorce or separation as well as couples who feel they are going down this path. Additionally, if you need a non-judgmental party to talk to about your issues with your partner, your parents, and/or your boss I would be a good fit for you. If you need support during a difficult transition in your life, I can help. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally. My priority is to make you feel welcome and safe in the space I provide for you.

Dr. Soojin "Susie" Han, LMFT
Services offered in English and Korean
Virtual services only
People do not exist in isolation. Many of the challenges we face are shaped not only by our individual experiences, but also by our relationships, families, and environments. I believe meaningful and lasting change happens when we understand ourselves within these larger contexts rather than viewing problems as the sole responsibility of one person.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide individual, couples, and family therapy through a systemic perspective. Together, we will explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, deepen your understanding of your experiences, and create new ways of relating to yourself and others that support growth and healing.
I integrate evidence-based approaches, including EMDR for trauma and emotional healing and the Gottman Method for couples seeking to strengthen communication, trust, and connection.
My goal is to help clients move beyond symptom relief toward meaningful, sustainable change in their lives and relationships.

Tracy-Ann Bennett, Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern
Tracy-Ann M. Bennett is a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern at Bloom & Heal Therapy, providing compassionate, trauma-informed psychotherapy to individuals and families. Tracy-Ann specializes in maternal mental health, infant and early childhood mental health, and family-based care, with a strong foundation in both clinical and community social work.
Tracy-Ann works with adults, parents, and caregivers navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, parenting stress, trauma, and burnout. As a trained doula, she has a particular passion for supporting individuals during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood, as well as those working through intergenerational and relational challenges. She is currently completing advanced training in Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), an evidence-based, attachment-focused model designed to strengthen the caregiver–child relationship following stress or trauma.
In private therapy, Tracy-Ann offers a supportive, collaborative space where clients can explore their experiences at their own pace. Her therapeutic approach integrates trauma-informed care, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based interventions, helping clients build insight, resilience, and practical coping skills. She believes healing happens when the mind and body are both acknowledged, and she works to help clients feel grounded, empowered, and understood.
In addition to her clinical training, Tracy-Ann is a certified yoga teacher and incorporates mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic awareness into therapy when appropriate. She is especially attentive to clinician burnout and caregiver fatigue, supporting clients who give deeply to others and are learning how to care for themselves more sustainably. Tracy-Ann is committed to culturally responsive, ethical practice and values creating a therapeutic relationship rooted in safety, trust, and authenticity. She welcomes clients seeking support, growth, and meaningful change.

Victoria Wilder, Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern
Life comes with challenges and changes that are as individual and unique as you are. I help those who struggle with trauma, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and depression to get to the root of their challenges so they can gain understanding and self compassion. I also love working with LQBTQ+ folks to navigate how their identity and mental health are impacted by today's world. Additionally, I help neurodiverse folks understand how to navigate a world that isn't built for them while maintaining self compassion. I have completed Gottman Level 1 training and integrate its research-based methods into my work to support couples in building stronger, more connected relationships.
My passion is empowering clients to navigate these challenges through warm, empathetic care in a safe environment. By working alongside clients and viewing them holistically, I believe it is possible to help them enact real change and personal growth. I utilize a holistic and feminist framework that helps me to understand what each client needs. I am currently accepting new clients. Please feel free to reach out and find out if we're a fit!

Yunzhi "Ariel" Zheng, Registered Marriage & Family Therapist Intern
Services offered in English and Mandarin
I am a client-centered and culturally attuned marriage and family therapist and a doctoral
candidate in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) at Florida State University. I hold a Master’s degree in MFT from Northwestern University and a Master’s degree in Human Development and Family Sciences from the University of Texas at Austin. I am dedicated to bringing in a systemic perspective to my clinical work, with awareness of the ways our identities, relationships, and cultural contexts shape our experiences of challenge, connection, and resilience.
To help my clients reconnect with themselves and their loved ones in meaningful ways, I integrate evidence-based practices (e.g., Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems Therapy) using Integrative Systemic Therapy and tailor care to meet the unique needs of each individual, couple, or family I work with. I am experienced in supporting clients facing a wide range of concerns, including individual depression, anxiety, relationship distress, conflict, communication issues, infidelity, co-parenting issues, and more.
Beyond the therapy room, I am also a researcher and educator, committed to advancing knowledge about what helps couples and families thrive. My work has been published in peer- reviewed journals and presented at national and international conferences, and I draw on my research to directly inform my clinical work with clients.
I believe everyone brings a powerful story with them, and I am here to listen to your story and
walk with you through your journey of healing, growth, and reconnection.
I am currently accepting new couples and families only and would be honored to be part of your journey with you. Please feel free to reach out for more information!

Dr. Marangelie Velez, Ph.D., NCC, Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern
Services offered in English and Spanish
I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Psychology and Marriage, Couple, and Family
Therapy, as well as my Ph.D. in Counselor Education, from the University of Central Florida, a CACREP-accredited program. In addition to my role as a counselor educator at Florida State University, I am also a Certified Relationship Educator through the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program and a National Certified Counselor with NBCC.

Therapist
Xinyun "Kaikai" Zhang, LMFT
I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from the Ohio State University and my
master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from the University of Akron. I have experience working with adolescents who have severe mental health and/or substance use issues, as well as supporting their families in managing their children's symptoms. I have also supported couples with issues ranging from communication issues to infidelity.
In my role as a therapist, I see myself as a collaborator, creating a warm, welcoming space where you can unpack what’s been on your mind about yourself, your romantic partner, or your family. I am a firm believer that although I’ve received training to be a therapist, you are the expert of your life, and I would like to support you in navigating through the weeds of life. When it comes to therapeutic approaches, I draw on evidence-based frameworks such as emotionally
focused couples therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and family systems theory, as well as
narrative therapy.
I am a systemically trained therapist, which means that when I am working with you (either
by yourself, with your romantic partner, or with your family), I am curious about not only what I can see in the therapy space, but also the external factors that have contributed to what brings you into therapy, such as cultural influences, societal expectations, systemic oppression, and so on. I am more than happy to provide a space to also process how these factors play a role in what brings you to therapy!
If you are looking for a space to process the difficulties you’ve experienced in your life, let it be unexpected changes, romantic relationship issues, or family-related concerns, I am more
than happy to hold a warm and supportive space for you! Please reach out for more information!

Master's Intern Therapist
Jenny ReyesGomez
I support people who feel disconnected from themselves, struggle with self-esteem, or carry childhood experiences into adulthood. I especially connect with perfectionists, people-pleasers, and those who learned to keep the peace while putting their own needs aside. I also support those who feel overwhelmed by expectations, burdened by responsibility, or unsure how to prioritize themselves without guilt. Together, we can work toward greater self-trust, confidence, clarity, and the ability to communicate your needs and make choices that feel aligned with who you are and not simply what others expect.
