As a counselor intern for the state of Florida, I provide therapeutic services for individuals and couples from a client centered and cognitive behavioral therapy approach. I have experience working with individuals from a wide range of ages, including children, adolescents, and college students. Within those populations, we focused on a wide array of presenting problems including anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes.

Healing is a process that begins with your decision to act. You do not have to be in pain alone. I am a Licensed Counselor and EMDR Certified with more than twenty years of experience with a broad range of concerns and can guide and support your journey through skilled, evidenced-based techniques. I am a compassionate listener and my main goal is to help you find your solid center and emotional balance. I am intuitively skilled at successfully cutting through confusing dynamics and reactivity to identify core issues that haven't been resolved through other therapies.

I am a licensed mental health counselor committed to serving teens and young adults in Florida who are struggling with anxiety and related concerns. I use an evidence-based approach, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), proven to be the most effective form of therapy for adolescent anxiety. Prior to joining Lumate, I provided counseling in private practice, community-based settings, schools, and residential facilities. I've also provided supervision for clinicians starting their careers in mental health. Before moving to Florida, I was a clinical director at a community-based organization serving children, teens and families.

Gulf Wind Counseling was founded with a vision of providing high-quality psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults regardless of socio-economic background. We develop treatment strategies based on the specific needs of clients using evidence-based therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Structural Family Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy. Typical challenges we can help with include depression, anxiety, anger, opposition, defiance, family conflict, couples conflict, school refusal, blended families, manic behavior, grief, trauma and substance misuse.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, fear, or other trauma-related symptoms due to current or past family or other relationship abuse? Do you struggle with trust and have difficulty forming and maintaining healthy relationships? You may also experience feelings of shame, guilt, and self-blame. These types of relationships can be isolating and erode your self-esteem. I would like to help you reconnect with people and rebuild your self-worth.

You've occupied invalidating spaces for too long and you're tired! You've tried to express your feelings and emotions to others only to hear, “it’s not that serious,” “you’re overacting,” or “get over it.” As such, you’ve adjusted your emotional responses and behaviors to appease others but are still left feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, hurt, lonely, and unheard. Your unmet needs and emotions are buried in your work, accomplishments, or going above and beyond to meet the needs of everyone else but yourself. It's time to share your life's story and explore how you ascribed meaning to challenging experiences.

My ideal client is someone who is open to exploring themselves using creative expression. I have experience with many art mediums and use art to assist clients with gaining insight in areas that align with their needs and goals. I enjoy working with clients on emotional expression and identification as well as helping clients identify coping strategies that work for them to assist with mood and emotional issues.

Hi there, I'm Kristen. Do you feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety? Do you feel pulled in a million directions? Are you struggling to cope with anxiety or social situations? I can help you navigate these feelings and find a path forward. I help teens and young adults ages 12-25 manage anxiety and OCD. Together, we can identify what's not working and find a path to keep you moving forward. We'll challenge the negative thoughts and beliefs you hold about yourself to help you form a new relationship with yourself and recognize that U Matter.

I work with children, teens, and families to support them as a family and strengthen their connections with each other. I see children and teens for individual counseling, group counseling, and also provide family counseling. Growing up is hard and so is parenting! We all have times when we could use extra support. I specialize in blended families and co-parenting support for all types of families.

You find yourself constantly avoiding triggers, unable to go certain places or do things that remind you of your unresolved hurt - a lost relationship, childhood abandonment, the death of someone you love dearly. You feel limited and held back by your painful past. You get sucked into self help videos on Tik-Tok looking for a solution and find yourself more sad, more alone, and feeling empty after hours of scrolling. Together we can face the past head on. I guide clients to work through past hurt and do the work to heal. My clients finish therapy confident, emotionally healthy, and free to move forward into a hopeful future.

Are you experiencing problems with sleep and concentration? Is it difficult to cope with feelings of anxiety and depression? Do you have trouble connecting in relationships?

Focus: college students and professionals struggling with depression, anxiety, and/or relationship issues. I'm trained in evidence-based therapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which concludes that through mindful meditation, we can defuse ourselves from our thoughts and emotions, allowing us to commit to value-congruent actions in a way that brings us life purpose. I am also passionate about working with couples, helping them navigate through their struggles at any point in their relationship or deal with sensitive issues. Lastly, I'm a sex-positive Sex Therapist who welcomes individuals to explore their sexual issues in a safe and non-judgmental setting.

I am a licensed therapist (LCSW) who has over 7 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with adolescents and adults who were struggling to cope with adjustment disorders, depression, anxiety, anger, panic attacks, behavioral challenges, mood changes, trauma, grief, loss, spirituality-related issues, relationship conflicts, communication, and self-esteem problems. I believe we are all in this journey of life together, so we do not have to do it alone. I am more than happy to help you reach your goals. I look forward to speaking with you.

As you scroll looking for someone to understand you, I want you to pause for a moment. You have already taken a huge leap just by doing this research. That in and of itself is a huge accomplishment. You have thoughts about bettering your situation, healing, and empowering yourself in this life. You are already stronger than you think. If you've gotten this far, I already think you are a great fit and I would love to work with you. I know what it's like to feel stuck and not know what direction to go. I'm here to walk down the path with you, one step at a time.

The way we feel, act, or react is not fully determined by external factors- regardless of the circumstances we are in, but also by our outlook on life and perspective toward specific situations. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic relationship that is provided in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I strive to support and assist clients on their journeys to create meaning in their lives, change or replace patterns of thinking and behaviors that are no longer working for them, develop greater self-awareness and deepen their relationships.

Our thoughts, emotions, and sensations aren't just experienced in our minds; they are experienced in our bodies. When we become disconnected from our emotions and sensations due to things like stress, trauma, or shame, it can leave us feeling "stuck" and unable to truly thrive. The weight of our past experiences can make it difficult to move forward in life. I help clients strengthen their mind-body connection and tap into their own inner knowing to facilitate meaningful change and healing.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed, I believe there is hope for you to feel better by learning strategies to cope with these difficult feelings. I will work with you to help you understand yourself better and to learn tools you can use to make positive changes in your life and relationships. I offer a non-judgmental, objective and confidential environment to explore thoughts and feelings and uncover patterns that may be preventing you from being where you want to be in your life.

My goal is to provide compassionate therapy services, working in collaboration with you to help you meet your goals and guide you through the healing process. I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of challenges, including dating, relationships, trauma, violence and assault, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-harm, and sexuality or gender identity diversity. My background includes victim advocacy and outreach, clinical crisis counseling, animal assisted therapy, and human sexuality education. Taking the first step to reach out for help is not only brave but will be incredibly rewarding.
