Is your child having a hard time sleeping, making friends, or dealing with grief, pain, or out-of-control circumstances?

**I offer Online Sessions** Hi there and welcome. Everything that makes you feel stuck has a “why” behind it. I believe that understanding yourself leads to healing.

Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support and provide space for self discovery. I believe the therapeutic process can facilitate growth and healing.

Everyone faces challenges that can leave them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, lost, depleted, alone, helpless, distressed, or confused. Whether you’re dealing with a challenge that is new or have been struggling for a long time, you deserve peace and happiness. Therapy can provide insight and self-awareness which can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling life. I recognize that considering counseling takes courage and it’s important to find a therapist who will be the right fit for you.

Ready to get un-stuck? You're not alone in dealing with issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem as well as mental, career, or relational stress. You could be one of many individuals who consider counseling because they are struggling to find their voice or set boundaries with friends, partners, coworkers, or family members. Or, perhaps you're having difficulty managing one of life's many transitions such as adjusting to college or getting over a breakup. Any of these can act as a halting roadblock, standing in the way of where you are and where you so desperately want to be. Veranda can help.

I have been a counselor for 25+ years. While my passion is working with couples, I also love working with individuals and teens, helping them through life's difficulties. I work with issues such as anxiety, depression, loss, self-esteem, adoption, victims of abuse & violence, relationship problems, issues of sexuality, etc. I want to give you the patience, support, and tools, to work jointly on your needs in a focused and non-judgmental manner, until I am no longer needed. We all have issues that creep up. We know, without resolution, minor issues become major.

Professionals face a unique set of challenges. We're expected to manage many roles, and perform them well and without complaining. Many of us do a wonderful job anticipating the needs and wishes of others, but this commonly comes at the sacrifice of our own needs, goals and dreams. If you're feeling sad, anxious, dissatisfied, irritable, angry, empty or exhausted, chances are you're being presented with an opportunity to learn about your true self. It's never too late to develop and implement your own dreams. Counseling can help determine the source of difficulties you're experiencing. NOW OFFERING TELEHEALTH ONLY!!!

Rosalinda Weisz believes that what makes us suffer is what we do not know about ourselves. Being aware of those hidden parts of ourselves allows us to make better choices, based on reality and without the distortions triggered by painful experiences and irrational beliefs. Mrs. Weisz believes that every person is a unique individual and she strives to understand and respect the particular world view offered by every patient in a gentle, honest and positive manner. The most important factor in every treatment is the development of a patient-therapist relationship that offers a safe context for change.

Welcome to your first step towards helping yourself to live the life you've been wanting. I believe what Carl Rogers once stated "a counselor is not an expert but a mirror for clients to see themselves." A counselor's acceptance and reflection of feelings creates a level of safety for deeper exploration and an opportunity for clients to increase their self-awareness which leads to positive action. I encourage my clients to be mindful of thoughts and feelings. By practicing mindfulness you are able to be focused and centered in your life.

My name is Dr. Anne Smith. I am a licensed psychologist. I specialize in working with adults who have generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder ("anxiety attacks"), social anxiety, and depression.

I believe one of the most important aspects of psychotherapy is to establish a safe, collaborative, and mutually respectful relationship where profound personal growth can occur. The atmosphere in my office is warm, accepting and open. My patients are insightful, creative, intelligent people who are working to attain specific goals, make difficult life transitions, or work through the internal and external struggles of previous experiences. My primary ares of interest are sexual trauma, PTSD, eating disorders, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, relational problems and grief. I also conduct formal psychological assessments when necessary.

Our counselors use a variety of approaches to therapy including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused, Adlerian, and Person-Centered approaches. We will help you reduce unnecessary suffering caused by rigid ways of thinking, harsh self-criticism, and avoidance of difficult thoughts and feelings. We work with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood swings, addiction, grief, and trauma.

COVID has really helped people realize they need to work on some of their personal issues. Stuck, feeling somewhat hopeless of finding solutions? Anxious for improvement and open to information and development of new skills, YOU would benefit from my services. Stop blaming yourself for your problems, you are not defective. After listening and questioning, I most often can help trace problems and behaviors to learned coping skills which were modeled to you when you were young, or chosen as conscious or unconscious techniques you needed to survive. Clients have commented how much better they feel even after one session.
