Registered Therapy Intern

Sha 'Tarra Coles, MS, RMHCI

I was raised in Suwannee County, FL, and began my college and professional career at Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Community Psychology.

I have 7 years of experience which includes, multicultural mental health, substance abuse and addictions, cognitive behavioral therapy, and family counseling of all ages. As well as working with individuals managing ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety, grief, trauma, anger management,
stress, coping skills, LGBTQ+, self-esteem, and women’s issues. When not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and days at the beach. I ultimately aspires to inspire future generations about mental health and actively seek mental health help and treatment.

I am currently accepting new clients. Please feel free to reach out and schedule a session today!

Registered Therapy Intern

Emily Hardy MSW, RCSWI

Understanding and communicating emotions can be stressful to children and adolescents. During session clients explore their emotions and experiences through creative outlets. I create a nurturing and supportive environment that allows clients to foster personal growth and healing.

I am passionate about creating a safe environment for my clients to feel heard and understood.

My experience includes anxiety, depression, trauma, coping skills, and self-esteem. I utilize expressive therapy, strength-based perspective theory, and trauma informed approaches.

As a Tallahassee native you can find me spending time on walking trails, hanging out with friends and family, or playing with my two pups!

I am currently accepting new clients. Please feel free to reach out and schedule a session today!

Ph.D Student Therapist

Daniel Smedley, MFT

Using a strong background in couple and family therapy models and an emphasis on trauma-informed care, my main goal in therapy is to help people feel safe and empowered as they navigate through their own complex challenges. I have a passion for helping couples and families find healing through increased awareness, deeper emotional connection, better communication, and through creating new pathways of growth. I also enjoy helping individuals increase their emotional regulation skills, overcome negative thought processes, and find strategies for healing past emotional hurts or thriving as a person.

I grew up enjoying hiking and skiing in the mountains of Utah, and after receiving a B.S. in Human Development and Family Science (2021) and an M.S. in Marriage and Family (2023) Therapy from Brigham Young University, I now find myself pursuing schooling at FSU where I hope to further develop as a researcher and clinician and contribute to our understanding and application of how families heal and grow.

I am currently accepting new clients at a rate of $100 per session. Please feel free to reach out and schedule a session today!
