Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 32204

Let me begin by commending you for taking the first step on your counseling and healing journey. Seeking counseling is very personal and brave. Life obstacles and experiences can be stressful, overwhelming, and challenging at times. In therapy, I am here to serve as a guide and help you explore your deepest thoughts and feelings while providing you with a safe and non-judgmental space.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist and a National Certified Counselor, who believes in forming a positive relationship with my clients, by providing them with a safe and nonjudgmental environment, empathy, and genuineness. My goal is to promote positive changes in my client's life, help alleviate emotional distress, and help create healthy relationships within their lives. I specialize in trauma therapy, anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts. If you are faced with physical or emotional distress, I am committed to assisting and helping you deal more effectively with all that life brings.

Sometimes sh*t happens. And It can be an overwhelming decision to ask for help, especially when contacting a stranger. What happens when the story I have for my life doesn’t go as planned? My dream job isn’t bringing the fulfillment I thought it would. I envisioned myself fully showing up in this world, but now my trauma leaves me powerless beneath my anxiety and depression. I identified with a religion that once gave me freedom, but now it leaves me in bondage. My family was once a safe haven, but now dad is drinking too much and everything I knew is gone.

As a clinical psychologist, people contact me for psychotherapy when experiencing emotional pain or distress, within themselves and sometimes their relationships. This pain can feel stuck and take on a life of its own, with ways of coping that no longer seem to be working. Yet the person feels ready for a change - ready to begin a process of growth and healing. Couples approach me for relationship therapy who struggle with disconnection, miscommunication, reactivity - couples stuck in negative patterns. These couples are ready for a change, ready for greater intimacy, security and connection in their most important relationship.

Are you ready to come in to do the therapeutic work to take charge of your life? Are you ready to learn to trust yourself and others again? I continually strive to help clients feel empowered to reach their goals while feeling non-judgmentally supported by me. I am person-centered in that I consider the client as the expert on their lives while I am the expert on techniques that reconnect the client with themselves. I am also systems oriented in that I help examine the systems within the client, the client's relationships, and the client's community in order to create change on multiple levels in the client's life.

I envision my ideal client as a compassionate and growth-oriented individual who seeks to transform their life with a deep commitment to holistic well-being. They are someone who has experienced challenges, such as trauma, stress, anxiety, or relationship issues, and is now ready to embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery. My ideal client craves a safe and supportive space to explore their inner world, gaining insights into their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. They desire to break free from limiting beliefs and patterns that no longer serve them, seeking to cultivate a strong sense of self-awareness and compassion.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 17 years of experience. I have practiced in community based agencies and a private practice setting. I have extensive experience conducting individual, couples, and family psychotherapy, initial diagnostic interviews, and crisis intervention for all areas of mental health.

The primary focus of my practice is working with individuals who have experienced traumatic events in their life. Through the use of EMDR and other traditional cognitive behavioral therapies, my clients and I work together to achieve day-to-day functional successes as well as overall personal growth and development of positive relationships.

I approach counseling with a trauma-informed perspective and the fundamental belief that we are all whole individuals - each of us unique; equally deserving of love, understanding, and compassion; and capable of making positive changes to achieve well-being, contentment, and meaningful connection. While there are many factors that may interrupt your ability to live life fully, my goal is to help you identify, understand, and resolve your own unique life stressors.

My name is Brandi Jackson, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Are you experiencing a season of loneliness, sadness, worry or self-doubt? Are you tired of existing in a cycle of pain caused by unresolved trauma, toxic relationships or everyday social/cultural injustices? Would you benefit from reconstructing negative thinking, emotional regulation and releasing maladaptive behaviors? If you answered yes to any of these questions you owe it to yourself to find a safe space to start healing. My goal as a clinician is to provide my clients with “safe spaces” to address every day issues that are affecting their quality of life.

Hey there, I know reaching out for help can be a challenging step, but I want you to know that you're not alone. Dealing with anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and life stressors can be incredibly tough, and I'm here to walk this journey with you. I've been through my own storms, faced my share of rainbows, and I understand how these struggles can affect various areas of your life. Whether it's the constant worry, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, or the overwhelming stress, I get it. It's not just about hearing your words; it's about truly understanding the impact these challenges have on your daily life.

Deciding to begin counseling is one of the best and most important decisions you can make. Successful counseling begins with the therapeutic relationship between the counselor and the client. Trust is at the heart of being able to be vulnerable and honest. This is why I put significant effort into establishing rapport and creating a safe space, free of judgment, for you to feel comfortable discussing difficult issues. The goal is a harmonious relationship where you feel safe to address your feelings, ideas, worries, struggles, and dreams. Strong communication will allow us to move toward the changes you want.

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or unhappy? First, take a moment to BREATHE. The next step towards relief is to connect with a seasoned, empathetic therapist. Life often presents us with daunting challenges that can cloud our judgment and obscure our options in the midst of emotional turmoil. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free sanctuary where you can freely express your innermost thoughts and feelings. Together, we'll embark on a journey to explore your choices, bolstering your ability to effect positive change.
