Does it feel like anxiety and stress are running…the…show? You're constantly stressed out, exhausted, irritable, and overwhelmed. You can’t stop the anxious chatter in your head. You're going a mile a minute and running on empty! Your self-esteem is at an all-time low. You’re tangled up in negative self-talk that is fueling your self-doubt. You constantly seek approval, feel like you're not enough, and worry that you're being judged or rejected. You’re so tired of living this way but you don’t know how to do things any differently.

I have worked within the several areas, which allows me to work with a lot of different and sometimes difficult situations. Several of those areas include the Department of Chiildren and Families, the Department of Juvenile Justice, as a vendor for Orange County Public Schools and the Ninth Judicial Court System and sports programs. Allowing someone to have the nonjudgemental platform of support, while empowering growth, is something that is very valuable.

With this group you can delete the programs we inherit the residue from traumatic events that have taken place in our family. While our physical traits are easily discernible, this emotional legacy is often hidden from us. Anxiety, fear, financial worries, depression, illness and unhappy relationships can all be forms of our unconscious inheritance. Unresolved traumas, some going back two or three generations, can block us in feelings and situations that don’t even belong to us. They can create a blueprint for our life, and can even pass onto our children. It doesn’t have to continue.

I am currently in my fifteenth year of providing neuropsychological assessment services throughout the state of Florida. I accept referrals from many physicians and case managers. However, often, family members concerned about the functioning of parents with memory issues, other family members with brain injuries, or children with learning and/or behavioral difficulties contact me directly to arrange an evaluation. Once an evaluation is completed, interventions are implemented to facilitate improved functioning. Fortunately, many insurance carriers including Medicare will pay for the services.

If you're reading this profile, you are likely feeling a need for change. Or perhaps you hear a voice whispering, "There has to be something more". Life is too short to live with pain, fear, loneliness, and confusion. Just because you can't see how to get there doesn't mean it can't be done. I would be honored to walk this path of rediscovery with you.

You're used to walking on eggshells or having one-sided relationships because you’ve always done what’s expected of you, but never what you truly wanted for yourself. You’re not happy in your relationship and you feel resentful, hurt, and disrespected. You want to put yourself first, but sometimes that makes you feel anxious or guilty. Maybe you’re still together right now, and even though you’re unhappy and your gut is telling you it’s not right, sometimes the idea of staying feels easier than leaving. You want to learn how to find fulfillment and happiness again. You’re ready to work towards building up your confidence.

We take a different approach to Anger Management. We don't want you to just "manage" your anger. Rather, our goal is to help you learn from your anger. What is it trying to teach you about yourself? We know however, that unbridled anger can be devastating to you, your family, and your career. Anger is always a secondary emotion and we work to identify the underlying issue. We believe that anger in and of itself is good. Anger is a core emotion that should be felt. Our anger management support groups are kept small enough to provide quality interaction.

Are you looking for relief and freedom from emotional issues such as, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and addiction? I can help you heal from past hurts, traumas, and relationships using the counseling modality that’s right for you. I have more of a solution focused approach as, in my experience, reliving, restating, or retelling the past prevents us from moving forward and keeps us stuck in our story. You have an amazing life to live and too many things to do, to allow your past to dictate your present and future. Freedom is possible!

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups

How can I find a support group in Orlando?

Search for nearby support groups by inputting your city, zip code, or the name of the group into the search bar. From there, you can filter to find a group that suits your needs, whether you are looking for support for a teenager, a group that focuses on a specific issue, such as depression, or a particular program type, such as one geared toward developing social skills. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

How does group therapy work?

Therapy groups are led by one or more therapists and serve to help people process their experiences and learn from others who understand their challenges firsthand. They can be based on a specific issue, such as addiction, grief, physical illnesses, parenting, and caregiving. They can involve a specific type of program or therapy, such as a social skills group or CBT group. They can also be specific to a particular population or community, such as teens or LGBTQ.

Support groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous, also focus on a specific issue, but are typically led by members with lived experiences and are less structured than therapy groups. Most therapy groups will meet for a fixed length of time with a consistent group of members, while many support groups meet for an indefinite period of time with members coming and going.

What are the benefits of group therapy?

Support groups help connect people with shared challenges or physical and mental health conditions. In a group setting, participants can receive support and feedback from peers and can acquire new skills, strategies and perspectives by listening to one another. Discussing your experience with someone who also has a cancer diagnosis, or whose son also struggles with addiction, for example, can help you feel less alone, reduce distress, find empathy and connection, and learn practical or medical information that has helped others. Group therapy can also be a more affordable option than individual therapy and just as effective.

Is group therapy as effective as individual therapy?

Support groups can be deeply valuable for both emotional support and/or treatment outcomes. It’s difficult to make a blanket statement on efficacy due to the many different types of support groups and conditions treated, but group therapy has been found to be just as effective as individual therapy in establishing long-term abstinence for conditions such as substance abuse, addiction and alcohol abuse.

How much does group therapy cost?

Group counseling is typically less expensive than individual counseling, with each session costing on average between $60 to $75. Meanwhile, individual therapy sessions can run anywhere from $100 to $200 and up, even after insurance. It is possible to find low-cost group therapy options and many therapists offer group sessions free of charge.

Does insurance cover group therapy?

As with individual therapy, many insurance companies do offer coverage for group therapy sessions. However, the coverage varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider. Individuals are encouraged to check with their insurance providers to verify coverage.

How long does group therapy last?

The length of a support group session is often one hour but can fall anywhere between 45 minutes and two hours. The amount of time that people remain in a support group varies based on their specific needs and goals and the type of therapy. Some individuals may seek a shorter-term group, such as a bereavement group, that may last between six and 20 weeks. Some may seek a longer-term group that lasts for a year or indefinitely.

What are the limitations of support groups?

Support groups have many benefits, but there are a few limitations as well. Support groups do not constitute formal therapeutic or medical treatment, and are not run by licensed mental health professionals, so some people may opt for group therapy or individual therapy instead. Additionally, support groups can depend on the other participants, so a disruptive individual has the potential to mar the group dynamic, and the anecdotal information shared may sometimes be unhelpful or inaccurate. Because it is a group setting, confidentiality can be more difficult to guard and participants receive less personalized attention than they would in an individual therapy session.
