Competitive Intelligence Report

Juno Counseling and Wellness: Who They're Up Against

Palm Beach Gardens private practice market  ยท  June 24, 2026


The field

Palm Beach Holistic Counseling

Direct local competitor

palmbeachholisticcounseling.com
Website 14/49 Signal 12/49

Solo practice in Palm Beach Gardens. Forrest Dykes, LMHC, offers individual, couples, family, EMDR, and ADHD support under a holistic mind-body-spirit framing. Instagram has 694 followers; Facebook has 961. Content is almost entirely third-party quotes and stock infographics. Holds an ADHD-CCSP specialist certification.

The IDEA is unanswered. The holistic framing is a category word, not a belief. With no named editorial voice and an inverted follower-to-following ratio on Instagram, the signal tells the market nothing it could not find on any similar directory listing.

Thrive Therapy of Palm Beach

Direct local competitor

thrivetherapypalmbeach.com
Website Not scored Signal Not scored

Palm Beach Gardens group practice founded in 2020 by Dr. Mikayla Kress. Offers therapy, neurofeedback, and clinical supervision. Clean Squarespace site with a collaborative clinician model and a stated commitment to therapist support. No meaningful social media signal identified during research.

A well-intentioned internal culture story that has not yet been told externally. Without off-site signal, a first-time prospect encounters a practice that looks similar to every other modern group therapy site in the county.

Clarity Therapy NYC

National model

claritytherapynyc.com
Website Not scored Signal Not scored

Boutique group practice in Manhattan offering out-of-network therapy with a curated therapist-matching model and "next-generation" positioning. Instagram has 656 followers; Facebook has 148 likes. Website is clean and clearly positioned around the booking and matching experience, not just the modalities.

Useful as a category model, not a direct threat. Their differentiation is the experience of finding a therapist. If Juno gets serious about naming its IDEA, the Clarity model shows what pull looks like in this category at the national level.


The real competitive picture

Competitive Advantage

The Alignment Advantage

No local competitor in the Palm Beach Gardens market has built a founder with 4,000 LinkedIn followers, press placements in national outlets, and a recognizable public point of view on mental health. Palm Beach Holistic Counseling has 694 Instagram followers and no editorial voice. Thrive Therapy has no meaningful off-site signal at all. Juno's combination of a named founder, three consecutive award wins, a multi-modal service stack no one else in the market is running (sensory room, Safe and Sound Protocol, pediatric nutrition, EMDR, play therapy), and active board-level community leadership is not replicated by any direct competitor. The gap is not marginal. It is structural.

Commoditization never sleeps, but it cannot touch a practice that has already answered the B.H.O.Q. Dr. Vassilia has a recognizable point of view, an audience, and press placements local competitors cannot claim. The only question is whether that signal gets unified into a single IDEA across every channel before someone else decides to occupy the nervous system-based positioning that Juno already owns in everything but name.
