Interpersonal Therapists in 23432

I am especially interested in serving children, adults, and adolescents with depression, anxiety, PTSD, schizophrenia, and Bi-Polar disorder. I have experience with providing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I take an interpersonal approach to treatment, with a special focus on individualized care that is based on research. I also offer trauma-informed and spiritually-integrated services.

I believe in the human spirit and our capacity to make positive changes in all aspects of our lives, even in the face of adversity. By exploring our thought patterns, we can better identify feelings that affect our actions on a daily basis. We can then make effective changes that improve the quality of our lives, decreasing stress, anxiety, and depression and providing us with a more peaceful and joyful life. I also believe in the benefit of human interaction with other loving creatures; you will meet my little Yorkie-Poo therapy partner, Mojo, when you come to visit me. He loves children and adults.

I consider it a true honor and privilege to come alongside and join in someone's journey of healing, growth, learning and self-actualization. I have worked with diverse populations, conditions and settings. Serving acute, residential, in-home, medical clinics, victim services, critical incident debriefings in schools and the workplace. As a Florida Licensed Teacher I have facilitated individualized learning for those with special needs such that of giftedness, learning disabilities and behavioral with emphasis on social and emotional goals.

Are you or a family member struggling with depression, anxiety, attention/concentration, managing anger, or anything that consumes one's thoughts/feelings on a daily basis? Persevering Families & Counseling may be able to help with that! Each provider at Persevering Families & Counseling aspire to join you on your journey to possibly discover/rediscover strengths within yourself and/or families, and work to improve everyone's mental health. We all strive to bring warmth, compassion and commitment to each session.

Openings available! Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or life’s challenges? I specialize in helping individuals navigate through difficult times and find their inner strength and resilience. My ideal client is someone who is ready to take the first step towards positive change. They may be dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or low self-esteem. They are motivated to explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. My clients want to feel happier, more fulfilled, and at peace with themselves.

Counseling is most effective when it is a collaborative process. Goals are established within the first few sessions intended to guide the course of our work. I will work diligently to provide you with compassionate and effective counseling that is respectful of your life experiences and individual perspective. Our ultimate goal is that your counseling experience will provide you with an opportunity for growth and healing. Together, we will strive to make each session a "safe place" to share thoughts and feelings, try new behaviors, and plan for a healthy and productive future.

Life throws all kinds of challenges our way, and sometimes we need support from a professional to assist in looking at things from a different perspective. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and a registered Art Therapist, I offer more than a traditional talk therapy experience by using cutting-edge integrative methods of the creative art process, mindful-based interventions, and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to support trauma recovery and address the root of anxiety, self-esteem issues, limiting beliefs, emotional instabilities, and unhelpful behavioral patterns.
