We develop strong and collaborative relationships with the medical communities who share the responsibility of identifying, prescribing and delivering the right care.

“Ms. Darla is very understanding and compassionate. Ms. Darla has helped both my son and myself with information and thought process skills to use. With every session that my son has had with her has made a positive impact on my son and has also helped me a great deal. I would highly recommend her. We love you Ms Darla 😻” Tammy C., Ocala, FL
“I’m supper pleased with Darla. She’s helped both myself, my daughter and my husband get through this hard time and she’s still working with us. It has taken me 5 yrs to finally find a therapist that I can trust and is willing to listen and help.” Elly P., Ocala, FL
“We were looking for therapy for my daughter, and was givin a referral to Families First of Florida and was contacted almost immediately by Desiree. She went above and beyond to get me the paperwork and make sure I had everything I needed filled out and ready for services. As soon as I let her know I was done with the paperwork she immediately went over it and worked around my unfortunate schedule with my daughter and was able to get her, her first intake appointment that week! So thankful for her. She is on point and very sweet and understanding of our situation. We need more people like this involved with getting our children the help they deserve! Thanks again.” Mary F., Ocala, FL
