Lead Therapist & Clinical Director
My Qualifications
Hello and welcome!
My name is Antwan McKenzie-Plez, Owner & Clinical Director of Its All Grief, LLC, Grief & Trauma Specialist, Author, and bona fide Neuroscience Fanatic. I love the human brain and all of its amazing capabilities, including its ability to access true healing and restoration. I study it intensely and am constantly engaged in perfecting strategies to help people do just that. I consider myself, "Counselor by Profession... Healer by Calling". It's important to know that I practice therapy in a very de-colonized, non-traditional, and non-oppressive manner. By that, I mean that in our relationship, I may be the expert on mental health and healing, but YOU ARE THE EXPERT ON YOUR LIFE! So we both use our best skills to work together in healing and liberating you.
I am a mental health counselor located in Broward County, Florida.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), licensed by the State of Florida (currently working on licensure in additional states).
I hold a Bachelor of Science in ESE K-12, a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and a Graduate Certification in Alcohol & Drug Abuse Counseling.
I am trained and experienced in providing various types of therapy, including Brainspotting, EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT just to name a few.
Clientele
I am experienced in treating a myriad of issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma-related disorders.
I work with individuals ages 11 and up, and provide a focus on helping people survive and thrive in the systems they live in, with particular focus on the ever present role that unresolved grief plays in many of our situations in which we feel “stuck”- unable to move forward with life. My clients benefit from learning what it is that is causing them to feel stuck, and then becoming empowered to take effective action in their own lives toward getting “un-stuck”. Sometimes this includes freeing oneself from the bondage of expectations, which can sometimes keep us from living as our truest and most authentic self.
I am a strong advocate for all gender minorities, to include cisgender women, women of color, and trans-identified individuals.
I am a fierce defender of every child’s right to live and grow in a supportive and loving environment, and a champion for families.
I am an advocate for human rights for all people. My therapy office is a safe space for all people.

Good Faith Estimate
A New Federal Requirement
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Federal law requires health care providers to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
⦁ You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
⦁ Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
⦁ If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
⦁ Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
Don’t Let Finances Become a Barrier...
I do offer Sliding Scale!
As a clinician who represents and shares the lived experience of those I most desire to help, I never want your finances to become the thing that stands in the way of your decision to begin the healing process.
Therefore, on a case-by-case basis, I do offer a sliding scale for those who may not be able to pay my full fees but feel as though they could benefit from our working together. My standard Sliding Scale rate is $100 per session with demonstrated financial need. Sliding Scale slots are limited and may be subject to availability. This discussion of rates is handled discreetly and confidentially. Do not hesitate to contact me if you require assistance.
Pay with your FSA or HSA!
I am not in-network with many insurance networks. However, you do have the option of paying with FSA or HSA if you have one through your employer. Ask how!
