Trauma and PTSD Support Groups in Florida

Mind-in-Motion™ uses easy, flowing, movements combined with free expression, to open the heart, shoulders, hips, and other areas where we “hold” stress. The combination of flow, dynamic stretch, and sound promotes a psychomotor feedback pattern that helps us “let go” of emotional and physical stress. I developed Mind-in-Motion™, my original movement therapy method, from my 25+ years' experience of dance teaching, fitness training and in-depth study of anatomy. My own research study—published in the peer-reviewed journal, The Arts in Psychotherapy, in 2022—showed that Mind-in-Motion™ significantly reduced depression and helped increase self-esteem. RESUMES SEPT. 2023.

I have found a passion for working with trauma of all varieties experienced by individuals and couples trying to find healing after disclosure of infidelity.
After experiencing trauma and/or infidelity you may be struggling to find your footing again. So much has changed in so many ways. Or perhaps you’re so accustomed to feeling the way you do that you can’t pinpoint what went wrong but you know you need something to change. You don't want to have to figure it out alone and you don't have to. I can help you find clarity and healing.

The death of a loved one is difficult. We grieve in different ways and for different lengths of time. Sometimes grief takes such a strong hold on us that it is difficult to move on with one's life. Sometimes individuals feel that if they give up the feelings of grief, they will be giving up the memory of their loved one. By being in a group with others who share similar struggles, it is easier to process thoughts and feelings that can seem overwhelming. I can offer the group support, direction and coping skills to better navigate grief and find hope for the future.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, or challenges in relationships, it's completely okay to seek support.
Supporting clients with mental health challenges requires a compassionate, client-centered approach tailored to their unique needs. For those struggling with depression and anxiety, it's essential to explore the underlying causes of distress, such as past trauma or unaddressed stressors. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help individuals identify and reframe negative thought patterns, while mindfulness and relaxation techniques offer tools to manage anxiety in real-time, reducing its impact on daily functioning. These approaches aim to build emotional resilience, helping clients regain a sense of control and well-being.
