Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in 34243

My approach to counseling is framed around two perspectives. The first is that each individual knows themselves best. Because of that belief I am available to help individuals achieve the change they seek based on an understanding that each person may just need some guidance to access the knowledge they already have inside of them. The second perspective involves not dwelling on the origins of problems. Knowing the roots of a problem doesn't mean that the effects of a problem suddenly disappear. I often rely on a solutions focused approach rather than a problem centric focus with helping individuals work toward change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Kentucky. I have over 25 years of experience providing counseling, supervision, crisis management and program management and development. I am a Qualified Supervisor in the state of Florida. I have been an active member of the Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) team for over 11 years working with law enforcement and first responders. I have worked with children , adolescents, young adults, adults and seniors. I have worked with law enforcement, first responders, military and veterans.

I strive to build an authentic connection with my patients and do so by taking a "human-first" approach in my interactions. I am engaged and active in therapy, easily-accessible to answer questions and encourage communication outside of sessions via e-mail. My goal is to take the knowledge I have as a doctor and apply it in a meaningful and friendly manner; this is accomplished through a comprehensive care model, with ongoing research, communication, and individually-tailored interventions.

Are you sick & tired of feeling "sick and tired" all the time? If you feel your physical health has been declining, it may be time to address your mental health. As a critical care nurse and now a spiritually based licensed mental health counselor and medical intuitive, I can help. We know that the body follows the mind- the topic of my recent book, "Healing your Body by Mastering Your Mind." I have appointments available virtually and in person- in a comfortable quiet environment with flexibility to change my schedule to accommodate urgent needs. My certified therapy dog, Henry, works by my side to bring you comfort along the way.

I have been in practice for more than 25 years. I have a tremendous respect for the analytic process and for the individuals who are courageous enough to explore their emotional lives. I work with individuals, couples and families. Psychotherapy enables people to have a clear understanding of the themes and patterns in their lives. Having an awareness of our internal life, enables us to grow and create a sense of self.

I am most passionate to serve clients with a wide variety of mental health challenges who are "lost", "stuck", or simply want someone to listen to their issues and understand. While all of my post-secondary education and most of my life have been in the US, I was born and raised in Japan, lived in China for 2 years, and worked in a multi-cultural global corporation for many years, all of which equipped me to work with culturally and age diverse clients.

Taking the first step to get help takes courage. It means being willing to be vulnerable and talk about personal things and experience uncomfortable feelings. We will work at your pace in a supportive, nonjudgmental and safe place to reach the counseling outcome you desire. My clients come to therapy with many life stressors and events that have led to such things as depression, anxiety and trauma. They want to feel better and regain control over their life. Approaching therapy as a collaborative working relationship helps my clients achieve their individual treatment goals.
