Are you struggling with depression/anxiety, loneliness, divorce, abuse, miscarriage/infertility, grief, rejection, fear, self-destruction, isolation, lack of focus, lack of direction, etc? Many of our troubling thoughts and feelings come from beliefs we developed early on from difficult and painful experiences that went unprocessed. I can help you identify what is holding you back, where these beliefs came from, and how to heal so you can grow, engage and thrive! Want to feel better, but don’t know how to get there? I use assessment tools to help determine where you are struggling, & track progress along the way.

I believe effective therapy starts with developing strong empathy as the foundation for establishing our therapeutic agenda and working with you to determine the tools you find most helpful in resolving problems. I provide a brief, well researched mood survey at the beginning and end of initial sessions & you evaluate me & our therapy session so I can learn how to work better with you. Getting feedback after a session helps me to understand you better and that expedites treatment. I will teach you very powerful tools to use in changing how you feel in a very short period. Therapy can be effective in weeks instead of months

Are you questioning your life’s track? Do you find yourself wondering whether you’re making the right choices? Does it suddenly feel like you no longer know what you want out of life? It is normal to question ourselves during times of transition, whether we’re reconsidering our career or how we approach relationships, especially if we’re finding ourselves in the role of caregiver for aging parents. These times are often overwhelming and we can feel lost on our life’s path. Perhaps you’re noticing higher levels of anxiety, uncertainty, fear, exhaustion, or sadness than usual.

My ideal client wants to be an active player in his or her own treatment. They want a therapist who will not only be there for them, but who will also give them the tools they need to proactively change their lives for the better. I'm here to change lives, not just be a sounding board. All clients are deserving of respect and unconditional positive regard, but there comes a time when you are going to take action, or stay stuck in the muck that brought you to therapy to begin with. I'm going to meet you where you're at, and I'm also going to push you to make that positive change in your life. Staying stuck isn't an option with me!

Problems, stressors, and unmet needs in one’s life can lead to a multitude of emotional, behavioral, and relational difficulties. For some, these difficulties seem to have slipped up on them out of the blue. For others they seem to have always been present at some level. These difficulties, no matter their source or duration, have serious implications for personal happiness and meaningful connection with others. You are here because at some level you recognize a need for help and have accessed your inner strength to seek that help.

I'm a psychologist practicing in Pinellas County for nearly 20 years and have an office in Palm Harbor. I've trained in numerous clinical settings including university counseling centers, VA hospitals and private practices. I am a generalist by training and am comfortable working with people experiencing a wide range of psychological and interpersonal difficulties. Underlying my theoretical approach, is the core belief that compassion, empathy and safety are paramount to effective therapy.

I have worked for over 25 years with individuals and couples with a wide variety of life challenges and problems and emotional disorders. I work from a cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapy model, helping clients to find solutions and make the changes that will allow them to experience improvement in the areas of their life and relationships in which they are seeking change.

I've been a Psychotherapist for many years and I am excellent in helping folks figure out what's the issue and then helping them to do "Whatever It Takes" to get over it, get through it, or learn to live with it. Again, whatever it takes for peace, health, and happiness. I love working with all the changes we go through in life: from single to married, married to divorced, financial ups and downs, from healthy to a diagnosis, from sweet little children to scary teens and from victim to survivor. With time, all of us meet with challenges.

Kada enjoys working with children, teenagers and adults. Kada graduated with her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from The University of Florida. She genuinely cares for her clients and puts a lot of time and effort into making sure they are getting the help that they need. She takes a trauma-informed approach and uses attachment-based theory in her practice. She also utilizes CBT, Person-Centered and Mindfulness Based Interventions.

My ideal client is someone that is ready to make changes. Whether you’re coping with a loss, dealing with anxiety or depression, struggling with addiction or have any other troubles, I am here to help you.

Whether you are a child, teen, or adult, there are things that cause stress in life. Sometimes it is school, work, or even a relationship. Other times, it may be more complex and may have even been a significant event such as a loss of a loved one (even a pet), trauma from when you were younger, or maybe a recent change threw you for a loop. With over 20+ years of experience working with children and adults I can assure you that there is a way through what you are feeling. Together we can work through those issues using an individualized and wholistic approach (and hopefully find some laughter along the way).

I OFFER EVENING HOURS MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY!!!

Are your relationships with others not what you would like them to be? Do you feel like you are not living up to your "full potential" and serving your life purpose?

Together we will identify strengths as well as life challenges that will help you gain a better understanding of yourself and your relationships.

I have worked with many individuals and families that struggle with anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, substance abuse, and domestic violence.

I believe therapy is for everyone and can be helpful in many situations including a life transition; exploration of self, relationships, and behavioral patterns; or figuring out how to make desired changes in your life. I provide a warm, person-centered, and strengths-based approach tailored to your individual needs. My aim as a therapist is to provide you a safe, nonjudgmental space to develop personal insight, understand how your experiences have shaped you, and increase your coping skills while empowering you to live a healthier, happier life.

I’m the best marriage & family counselor in the world! All right, maybe not THE best, but I’m pretty darned good, and I get great outcomes! I believe in teaching people what’s healthy, and then guide them along the way. I call it Applied Human Growth & Potential™ and here’s why. We have so much research about what healthy and effective people do that it makes absolutely no sense to hang out and spend good money with a referee just trying to solve problems. Learn what is healthy and effective, have support in doing it, and you’re good to go! That’s what I do. I make counseling fun and “simply encouraging.” I help people to relax, breathe and smile with the “serious issues” since it leaves more energy to move beyond them. For premarital counseling, marital enhancement, or for help if you’re on the more challenging side of things, then give me a call. And by the way, I work with individuals too.
