"I work from a relational and insight oriented approach. I believe that we were all created for connection and that our woundedness often gets in the way of this connectedness, whether it be to God or others. Deep, intensive counseling can help heal this woundedness so that connections are more honest, genuine, and whole. It should also leave you with a deeper sense of self and identity, so that you can interact in healthy ways with the world around you."

"We all need support sometimes. Things happen in life that are painful, unexpected + overwhelming. During those difficult times, we may feel isolated, alone and unsure of our next steps. You're not alone. I'm here to offer compassionate, non-judgmental support while you navigate your way into the unknown. At other times, we may feel confused and frustrated- stuck in old patterns + disconnected from the wisest part of ourselves. We want to (re)connect with ourselves + gain insight into what’s working in our lives and what’s not. I'm here to be an honest travel companion, walking beside you + reflecting back to you your deepest truth."

"At some point or another, we are all in a position where we need support navigating tough issues, complicated feelings, and life circumstances. My goal in therapy is to create an environment where you feel comfortable discussing and exploring your experiences, and the emotions attached to them. I am here to listen, provide non-judgmental support, and work with you to heal and thrive. "

"I provide a supportive, caring place for individuals and families to make positive changes in their relationships, personal health, life transitions, and issues with trauma. Whether you are struggling with lack of motivation, anxiety, stress, frustration, grief, substance abuse issues, or difficulty managing your teen, I offer strategies for real change. Clients have described me as genuine, trustworthy, knowledgeable, caring, and someone who models living with integrity."

"I focus on helping people feel and live better; to help you overcome what seems insurmountable. In 20 + years of experience, I have seen different populations with a variety of problems and needs. I believe individuals hold the keys within to make the changes they seek. I offer a supportive and caring environment to help you take small steps towards resolving the pain, sadness or feelings of being overwhelmed. Relief from depression/anxiety, release from alcohol and drug addictions/legal involvement or managing behavior and adjustment issues requires change. And change begins with one small step."

"I am available after business hours for your convenience. I believe that you can find what you need in yourself to heal and to create changes in your life. I am here to help you. You will be treated with unconditional respect and acceptance. You will be heard."

"It is my intention to act as a guide on your journey of personal healing, to empower you on your mission of self-love, self-resilience and self-discovery. I am a trauma focused psychotherapist with clinical expertise in treating traumatic life changes and events, women's issues, grief loss, worry, anxiety, depression, self esteem and spiritual health. I have had great success working with clients to manage their daily stressors and increase effective coping. I combine traditional psycho-dynamic methods with holistic therapies, integrating sound healing and various meditation techniques into treatment to provide immediate sense of well being."

"**Not accepting new clients at this time.** Too often we are unable to fully experience our potential in life because we are in pain, feel stuck, or are struggling with difficult emotions. During these times it can be hard to gather the strength needed to move forward. My approach is humanistic, interactive, and collaborative in nature. I trust that a secure and trusting therapeutic relationship has the potential to facilitate tremendous growth and emotional repair. As one moves toward healing my hope is that our work together will empower you to be able to make the meaningful changes you would like to see."

""Loving ourselves through the process of owning our own story, is the bravest thing we will ever do" ~Brené Brown. It takes incredible strength and courage to initiate the therapeutic process. Welcome! It is my mission to offer quality therapeutic services to all, regardless of race/ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender identification, sexual orientation, or economic status. I am passionate about supporting individuals through the struggles and successes that undoubtedly unfold over the chapters of one's life. The foundational components of my therapeutic approach are mindfulness, authenticity, vulnerability, self-compassion, shame-resilience, and non-judgmental transparency."

"As human beings, we all face challenges and problems. Counseling is a space for anyone to explore their lived experiences. Many of the problems we face in life are relational in nature. This could involve relationship with another person or relationship with a group, team, system, or even relationship with oneself. As a relationally oriented therapist, I come alongside children, adults, couples, and families to explore relationship and whatever issues are arising. "

"At Affirmative Counseling and Psychological Services, LLC my goal is to help individuals navigate and transition through life’s major stressors through authentic connection, genuine acceptance and inclusivity. This includes exploring identity development; those making major life decisions and changes; persons managing histories of trauma; and others managing relationship struggles and emotional injuries inclusive of same sex couples and blended families to increase connection between partners, parents, and kids."

"I offer a sliding scale because it is important to me that everyone has the opportunity for counseling and to have support. It is my goal to help people live to their highest potential, where a sense of empowerment drives proactive thinking and leads to realizing and achieving dreams and goals. Everyone deserves the understanding, support and guidance needed to heal past hurts and manage aspects of relationships and life that are dissatisfying and unfulfilled. Having the courage to reflect and resolve issues that hold us back, and the strength to grow in these tense times, we become able to live quite extraordinary lives."

"In the most basic terms, my professional interests are in the areas of health, identity, and personal growth. My approach is integrative and tailored to the client's needs. Therapeutic sessions attend to clients' current distress and foster awareness on how certain behaviors that were once adaptive may no longer be of benefit. The intention is to decrease distress, foster awareness, and encourage personal growth towards more mindful, healthful living."

"As a psychoanalyst in training and a Professor of English at the University of Florida, I offer in-depth, compassionate therapy that seeks to promote growth and change through understanding the root causes of your current problems. I am especially interested in working with patients who are open to committing to a long-term process and may have already tried other approaches without finding what they are looking for. If this could be you, please call me for a free consultation to see whether we might be a good fit."

"Welcome, my name is Kelly Gregory. I'm a master's level clinician with a degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Florida. I am trained in EMDR and DBT. I operate from a wellness model, which to me means I see symptoms and behaviors as normal responses to abnormal circumstances. Life happens and we survive the best we can with what we have. Sometimes we find ways of surviving that were necessary in the past, but they no longer serve us in the present."

"Hello! I specialize in emotional and relational health for people of all ages. This includes helping individuals with self-esteem/compassion, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. It also includes guiding couples to have better communication, resolve conflict, overcome issues related to trust, and gain deeper intimacy. Additionally, I help parents support their child's social-emotional development and families to achieve a more peaceful home. Ultimately, I help address insecurities - of not being good enough, guilt, shame, anger, resentment, hopelessness, pain, what ifs, etc. - and help people fear less so that they can be more."

"I can assist you and your partner in generating positive, effective change. You will be treated with respect, without judgment, and you will have the opportunity to get clarity and to be heard. My objective is to teach you specific communication skills which then creates an opportunity for deeper understanding of and empathy in your partnership/family . My business partner is a fully trained and certified 100 lb Labrador Retriever. His ability to connect with my clients is astounding, and he shares his love unconditionally."

"I believe the cornerstone of creating change is a strong therapeutic alliance..an affirmative working relationship between client and therapist. Our past is a part of our current functioning, in that behaviors and attitudes that once helped us survive can sometimes become outdated and problematic. Therapy is one way to help people "revise" their survival tools and live a more enriching and fulfilling life."

"www.lissafriedman.com - I like to help people find the deep knot of their pattern, gently lovingly untie it, and bring healing to the wound. I have been a therapist for about 30 years, and in private Practice since 1987. While my style is eclectic, it is my warmth, compassion, and acceptance that underlie all of my work. I try to provide an environment, much like a container, for my clients to open to their own natural self compassion and acceptance. Seeing each person as whole, rather than deficient provides an environment for people to come to a natural place of healing."
