The majority of my experience over the last 13 years has been with couples and individuals, and this is where I find myself to be most successful and happen to find the most enjoyment. I find great satisfaction in seeing couples discover the ability to reconnect, communicate, and discover new ways to live in harmony again, whether this is in an actual couple session or individually.

Sometimes in our lives we encounter experiences that may be overwhelming, traumatic, or indescribable. At other times, things may be going well, but we could still benefit from having a sounding board & someone to put things in perspective. Even when we have no complaints with how things are, there is always an opportunity for growth, always an opportunity for an enriching experience. I focus on promoting mental health & provide a variety of services. Contact me to begin your journey to being fulfilled.

Stressed? Anxious? Generally feeling overwhelmed with emotions, and need someone to talk to? Let's figure it out together! As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I put a lot of focus into trauma healing, utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. This method can be used for many different issues, as well as processing any early trauma, this is often present when we can’t quite figure out why our mind and body are always on high alert. Our bodies do really well in telling us what we need to work through. I can help you become more attuned to your needs.

Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida.

I help teenagers and adults learn not only to survive, but to thrive in this often hectic world.

I've been where you are. I know what it's like for life to turn upside down and not know which direction to move. Recover, regain strength and get back to being you...that's my desire for you and your relationships.

My heart longs to help couples who want to grow together and fully enjoy the marriage they crave in a healthy and sustainable way.

Life can be difficult.

We have people relying on us, responsibilities waiting on us while fears and pain hunt us....but we continue to press....We think the feelings, flashbacks, nightmares, anger, hurt or pain will go away not realizing it is trauma. Trauma is simply an event which causes extreme distress and can manifest in different ways for different people. Lets work together to live a healthy life healed from the effects of trauma.

Hey there, I am Tesia. I am a licensed clinical counselor in Florida with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping those with stress, self-esteem, anxiety, relationship issues, post-traumatic stress, and abuse. I also have experience working with family and communication-related problems. The first step in therapy is admitting that there are struggles that you need assistance with and with that; I have here to help assist you in becoming a better you.

My goals in practicing psychology are to help you narrow your focus, set strong goals, and deal more practically with life’s barriers. This can be an intimidating process, which is why I use humor - with a dash of hope - as essential tools. I am skilled in individual and family interventions, executive and consultative coaching, and therapeutic strategies including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution focused therapies. My experience in medical and rehabilitation settings, including private and veterans hospitals, helped me hone these skills for work with clients from all walks of life.

You don't have suffer in silence. There is hope. I can help you find ways to deal with life on its terms and heal the pain that has plagued your life. I help individuals learn how to manage life successfully, relieve emotional pain, and overcome the hurts of the past.

I believe therapy is about active collaboration and discovery. Together we will explore how your current patterns either support your happiness or contribute to your struggle. Areas of distress are commonly patterns that repeat over and over----in how we cope, our self-esteem, and our relationships. Common psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression can often be linked back to the way we relate to the world, ourselves, and others. You're the expert on you. Once we've identified the underlying patterns, we can work together to develop a new way of interacting with the world around you and the people in it.

My goal is to guide individuals and couples with overcoming life's challenges and moving beyond their current emotional status. I particularly enjoy working with other professionals, in a variety of fields, to become the best version of themselves by learning to manage life stressors, mental health and emotional issues.

Increase your clarity. Elise is an individual, couples, and family therapist in Pensacola, Florida. She provides a safe, comfortable space to help you meet your mental and emotional goals.

Have a feeling there is a disconnect in your life? Experiences such as overwhelm, helplessness, over-thinking things, over-reacting in situations, relationship strain, mentally beating yourself up, or physical symptoms like recurrent headaches, stomachaches, or a rundown immune system are often signs that we are cut off from our highest self, the healthiest version of ourself. Trauma, in its many forms, can do this to us. It can hijack our nervous system so we respond to life in ways that do not support mental or physical wellbeing for us or our relationships. I want to help you heal and take back control of your life.
