TEAM

Hi. I am Doctor Patricia Barreto, owner and creator of MAPS Integrated Wellness. I hold a Medical/Clinical Psychology doctorate from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and have had a passion for wellness since I was a young trainee. In my practice, I conduct psychological, pre-surgical, and forensic evaluations as well as Psychotherapy. I also collaborate with other providers to deliver integrated care to patients. I was born and raised in Havana Cuba but became an adult in the United States. I have traveled to many countries and I find pride in having met many interesting people over the years. I trained in Ballet in Havana during my adolescence. Artistic expression will always be close to my heart and I use it in many of my programs. When I am not at the beach, I can be found with my loved ones, having deep conversations with friends, running around Amelia Park, reading, and playing with my dog. I wish I could go to a play, the ballet, or the symphony more often. My kids and husband are present in almost everything I do. We live in Amelia Island and we love it here. Hope to meet you soon!

Meet our new Psychiatrist, Dr. Dutchak. In addition to Adult Psychiatry, she is board certified in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, and board certified in Forensics. She is also board certified in Acupuncture through the AAMA. Sharing the vision of MAPS Integrated Wellness, she blends psychotropic medication with other holistic treatments in her practice. Her only condition to move to Fernandina was having a ballroom dancing studio, as she is now learning the Argentinean tango!

Hello. My name is Beth Matricia and I’m the office manager here at MAPS. I’ve lived in Amelia Island my entire life.  I’m an island girl through-and-through and enjoy traveling, scuba diving, yoga, and spending time with my “mini- me”.  I truly believe in MAPS and everything we stand for. As Greg Anderson once said, “Wellness is the complete integration of body, mind, and spirit- the realization that everything we do, think, feel, and believe has an effect on our state of well-being.”

Hi. I am Ashley, Registered Dietitian and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist, as well as a Certified Lactation Counselor with nearly two decades of experience in public (Florida Department of Health) and private sectors. I obtained a dietetic nutrition degree from Clemson University, as well as a Master of Public Health degree (community health emphasis) from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Having grown up in rural Vermont, I developed an appreciation for holistic health (body, mind, and Spirit), including restoring one’s body from the inside-out. I specialize in wellness coaching, medical nutrition therapy (especially GI disorders and gut health), and empowering people to create a lifestyle of intuitive and mindful eating. My goal is to empower individuals to connect to their unique blueprints and create fulfilled lives that embrace love, self-care, and delicious foods. One of my nutrition strategies includes intuitive eating, where I teach people to break free from dieting and replace it with nourishing food choices that strengthen one’s body. I have traveled to over 20 different countries, including Italy where I studied abroad and refined my Mediterranean cooking skills.

Hi. I am Christina Wright and I have been in the fitness field for 25 years. I am certified in group fitness by the American Council on Exercise since 1999, and in Personal Training by the National Academy of Sports Medicine since 2018. My clients range from beginner exercisers to past athletes. I am a former Adjunct Professor in the School of Health Studies at the University of Memphis, teaching classes on topics related to overall health and wellness concepts, including nutrition and stress management.

I see health and fitness as lifelong, holistic pursuits. I enjoy the challenge of finding out what works best for my clients and creating workouts using a mix of bodyweight exercises and simple equipment. Programs must be effective, but also have to be fun - bringing elements of overall health into life outside the gym as well as inside. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to fitness.

Hello. My name is Dawna Cornelissen. I have a Master of Social Work from Simmons University. I also have a Masters degree in Women’s Studies from Texas Woman’s University and a Bachelors degree in Psychology from the University of Central Florida. I am originally from New Hampshire and moved to Fernandina Beach during high school. Most recently, I worked as a medical social worker for people experiencing chronic illness. I also have experience working with the elderly, survivors of domestic violence, teenagers, and mothers. Starting from a place of radical empathy, I utilize a systems theory approach to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that helps identify how core beliefs about ourselves affect how we interact with others. My goal as a counselor is to help people find love, acceptance, and validation within themselves, break the trauma cycle, and experience authentic relationships. I am very close to my family and grateful for being part of their lives. I love to travel to other countries, learn new things, and spend time with my dog.

Meet Dr. Judenie Raphael, Au.D., CCC-A, RN.  She is an audiologist and she will be seeing kids and adults at MAPS every Monday. She accepts most insurance plans. Dr. Raphael holds a Doctor in Audiology degree and a dual Bachelors of Arts in Communication Sciences & Disorders and Anthropology from the University of Florida. She has been licensed and practicing for 10 years and clinically certified in Audiology by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. She is also a licensed registered nurse and doula. We are honored to have her with us!

Hello! My name is Ace and I'm the office mascot at MAPS. I accept payment in the form of pets and have been working for MAPS since Oct. 2022. 

Hello! My name is Jade Hebert (like a-bear), a passionate social worker in the making, and I'm excited to share a bit about my journey with you. I graduated from the University of North Florida with both my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) degrees, and I am currently a registered social work intern in the beautiful state of Florida. As I work toward obtaining my license to practice clinical therapy independently, I am eager to make a positive impact in the world of mental health.

My journey into social work has been profoundly shaped by my own life experiences. At the age of 16, I was adopted, a pivotal moment that ignited my passion for understanding mental health and supporting others facing their own challenges. This personal experience fueled my desire to pursue a career in social work, as I know firsthand the importance of having a strong support system and the right resources to navigate life's hurdles.

During my time at the University of North Florida, I had the incredible opportunity to intern for two years at the Saint Johns County Sheriff's Office. This experience was nothing short of enlightening. I learned so much about the intersection of law enforcement and mental health, and how vital it is to have compassionate social workers in these environments. In my final year, I shifted my focus to community mental health, where I further expanded my knowledge and skills by working with diverse groups of individuals. These experiences have not only honed my abilities as a social worker but have also played a significant role in shaping my identity within this field.

When I'm not busy diving into the intricacies of social work, you can find me enjoying my free time with my beloved animals. They bring so much joy and companionship into my life, and I cherish every moment spent with them. Additionally, I'm an unapologetic fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Whether it's cheering them on during a game or discussing game strategies with fellow fans, my love for the team adds an extra layer of energy to my life.

As I continue this journey, I'm excited about the future and the opportunities to contribute to the mental health community. I believe that through compassion, understanding, and a sprinkle of wit, I can help others find their path to healing and resilience. I look forward to what lies ahead, and I am committed to making a difference—one person at a time.

Hello! My name is Claire Hall, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering psychotherapy services. I am committed to helping couples and individuals find more peace and harmony in their lives. I am incredibly passionate about seeing my clients thrive and reach their full potential. I offer assistance in navigating life transitions, managing anxiety, depression, and trauma, healing your relationship with yourself, and discovering the WHY behind what you do and who you are. My preferred modalities are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Person Centered Therapy. We will be exploring deeper topics within the realms of Spirituality, Law of Attraction, and Manifestation and using new tools and ideas to conquer your problems and open a world of possibilities you didn’t know existed. I am a Jacksonville native and received my undergraduate degree from the University of North Florida and my graduate degree from Florida State University. I love to sing, listen and dance to Salsa music, and play with my precious daughter, Layla. I am taking new clients and currently providing individual and coupletherapy sessions on video chat and overthe phone.

My name is Katie Worley, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist dedicated to supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges. Growing up in the picturesque upstate New York, I developed a deep appreciation for nature and the outdoors, which has greatly influenced my journey as a mental health professional. Seven years ago, I made the decision to move south, where I have since embraced new opportunities and challenges that have enriched both my personal and professional life.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Connecticut, where I not only focused on my academic pursuits but also had the opportunity to play collegiate softball. This experience taught me invaluable lessons about teamwork, resilience, and the importance of supporting one another, qualities that I integrate into my therapeutic practice. Following my undergraduate studies, I furthered my education by obtaining a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. During my studies, I developed a deep understanding of relational dynamics and the systemic factors that influence mental health. This knowledge has equipped me to provide comprehensive support to my clients, whether they are facing personal struggles, relationship issues, or family conflicts.

Professionally, I have had the privilege of engaging in crisis work for Nassau County, where I collaborated with local schools, the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office, and the Fernandina Beach Police Department. This experience has reinforced my belief in the importance of community and the vital role that mental health support plays in crisis situations. I am committed to advocating for mental health awareness and providing resources that help individuals navigate difficult times.

In my practice, I strongly believe in the therapeutic power of animals. I am currently training my chocolate lab, Arco, to become my co-therapist through animal-assisted therapy. Prior to Arco, my yellow lab, Leeka, served as my co-therapist, and I witnessed firsthand the positive impact she had on my clients. The presence of a therapy animal can create a calming environment and foster deeper connections, allowing individuals to open up and engage in the healing process. My love for animals extends beyond my therapy practice; I also have a mini dachshund and five cats, all of whom bring joy and companionship to my life.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy photography and cooking. These hobbies allow me to express my creativity and find joy in the simple moments of life. Capturing images of the world around me helps me appreciate the beauty in everyday situations, while cooking provides a comforting and nourishing experience that I often share with friends and family.

Overall, my journey as a marriage and family therapist is guided by my passion for helping others, my love for animals, and my commitment to fostering a safe and supportive environment for my clients. I look forward to continuing to grow in my profession and making a positive impact on the lives of those I work with.

Hello! My name is Tina, I am the Front Desk Office Receptionist here at MAPS Integrated Wellness. I am from Fernandina Beach, Fl and have watched this island grow over the years. I have studied Human Resources at Shelton State University and Theology at Heritage Baptist College. I have worked in staffing and recruiting for 18 years and now excited to turn the next page in my life working in a medical office with this team. I volunteer working with senior citizens in various functions, events, and home groups.  I am a Mother of three kids and they are my heart.

Hello! I am Dr. Felix Soleh. I completed my MSN with a Psychiatric/Mental Health

Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) specialty at the University of Alabama at

Birmingham (Roll Tide!) and my Doctor of Nursing Practice at the University of

Florida (Go Gators!). Admittedly a science geek, I also hold a Master of Science

in Computer Science from the University of Nebraska. Although I have been an

independent psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner for several years, my

ICU nursing background is a strength in my approach to patient care and team

relationships. I am grateful for the opportunity to help individuals throughout their

lifespan and deliver care professionally. My goal is to build the best therapeutic

alliance with my patients and to provide resources and support along with

pharmacological interventions. I believe each patient is unique and deserves my

undivided attention, honor, and respect. In addition to working at MAPS, I also

serve our community at the MHRC in Jacksonville and provide services to the

LGBTQ community there. During my spare time, I love to walk on the beach,

park, and botanical garden while listening to my favorite music to relax.

Hi there, my name is Megan Calik, a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern (RCSWI) with a Bachelor's in Social Work from Gallaudet University and a Master's in Social Work from Northcentral University. I am dedicated to connecting with individuals and families with a person-centered approach. My passion is working with people with disabilities and who are neurodivergent such as those with Autism, ADHD, and/or Deaf/Hard of Hearing (fluent in ASL) and exploring ways to process emotions on an individual basis including those who are late diagnosed, parents of children with special needs, and learning how to navigate different paths in life. I also specialize in working with the LGBTQIA population as a member myself ranging from coming out, self expression, transitioning, and self acceptance. I love spending time with my partner, my family, and my dog playing card games or with a good book and being surrounded by nature.

Hi, I'm Carin. I am proud that my family is native to Fernandina Beach. As my home welcomes new islanders, the mental health needs of residents continues to increase and become more diverse. Being a tem member of MAPS Integrated Wellness allows me to offer many welcomed services to my community. My participation will encourage growth of this practice and future social outreach. I am attentive to your individual needs and that of your family. I am pet friendly and ask that your pet request a treat, if not offered. I look forward to seeing you soon. 

Hello! I am Ross Wise. I am currently enrolled with Ohio University School of Nursing working on a post-

grad certification to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I received two

Bachelor’s Degrees from Francis Marion University – one in Biology and one in Nursing. I also have a

Master’s Degree in Nursing from United States University. I have been a nurse for 15 years. I recently

retired from the Army after almost 26 years of military service (5 years in the Coast Guard). I have been

on multiple mobilizations and deployments to include various stops in the Middle East. My goal is to

finish school and officially join the team here at MAPS so that I can assist individuals with issues that

they may be dealing with on this journey that we call life. I especially look forward to assisting my fellow

veterans. When not otherwise engaged with work and school, I enjoy spending time with my family,

traveling, watching college football (go Gamecocks!), and taking rides on my motorcycle.

Many people ask who took the captivating pictures we have at the center. Her name is Stacey Rushing (here with the pic that has become our logo, hangs in our waiting room) and she is a wonderful person and talented artist. I asked her to send me description of what she loves and this is what she said: " I am a nature photographer based out of Jacksonville Florida. My family and I are usually out exploring the beaches and nature preserves so I can find those magic moments to capture.

I hope that you enjoy my work as it is truly my passion."
