Pamela D. DuVall, M.S., L.M.H.C., NCC, BCPC
Certified Family Mediator
Living Life can be difficult and painful at times. It is my desire to help clients find the power within themselves to navigate through these times with more awareness and insight. Through the support of compassionate and professional counseling, clients are able to express and explore their feelings and beliefs. My role includes providing feedback and direction to help clients find their path at their pace. I have a Masters degree from Stetson University in Mental Health Counseling and graduated with honors. I am committed to constantly expanding my professional knowledge through continuing education, involvement in professional memberships such as the American Mental Health Counselors Association, American Counseling Association, and Professional Academy of Custody Evaluators. I have had extensive training in the following areas, communication, pre-marital counseling, parenting, divorce, family mediation, and custody evaluations. I am a state Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a National Certified Counselor.
In addition to working with individuals, I also work with couples. Oftentimes, couples wait to come to therapy until things are unbearable. I try to encourage couples to come before the problems get too big to manage and to use therapy as tool to enhance their relationship. In couples counseling, I work on issues such as communication, intimacy, roles in the relationship, and damaging patterns.

Andria Estrella-Roa, MS, MFT
Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern #IMT1112
We have a relationship with everything in our lives: to people, to work, to play, and so on. When these relationships cause distress or become dysfunctional, problems arise. I believe the problems that arise are not within individuals but within the relationships they have to themselves and others. My goal in therapy is to help you change these relationships to make them functional again.
I graduated with my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Valdosta State University and earned by Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Florida. I am a member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy and the Florida Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. I have extensive experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings. I have experience working with sexual abuse victims, domestic violence victims, the homeless, adolescents, couples, and families with everyday problems. My goal is to help you better your relationships and make your life make sense again.
