Are you struggling with feeling overwhelmed, anxious, frightened or even isolated in this unprecedented time of the Covid-19 virus? Now, perhaps even more than ever self-care is essential as we maneuver through the impact of the virus and manage our daily lives.

Take back control of your life and become the best version of yourself. I work with clients to collaboratively develop a plan that addresses your needs, incorporates your strengths, and alleviates your symptoms. My approach is compassionate, solution-focused, and pragmatic. I believe that my clients ultimately know what is best for them, and it is my job to facilitate improvement through an empathetic yet challenging therapeutic environment. If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, stress and relationship issues, we will identify patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are holding you back.

I can help guide you towards improving important relationships in your lif: With yourself, family, at work, in love, and with others. If you are experiencing betrayal, doubt, confusion, sadness, anxiety, anger, loss, fear and hurt, we will look at solutions/options/choices, value, expression, attitudes, negative influences, and relations affecting your life. We will explore differences in values, perspective, backgrounds, communication styles, and evaluate trust, honesty, respect, expectations and relational patterns. My work is holistic, integrative, and solution-focused (https://www.carmelaflorolmft.com).

In individual therapy I help my clients to explore and understand their core beliefs, feelings, behaviors, and interpersonal interactions. Understanding issues as they come up in the therapeutic relationship, as well as in your outside life, leads to deeper self-awareness and more satisfying ways of being. I work with clients to gain greater insight into their true needs and wants so they can make choices that best serve them. Know that by making that choice, to live a healthier, more fulfilling life, is achievable. I offer an accepting, non-judgmental environment and will support your emotional needs and goals.

Sometimes we must take a look at the painful or stressful feelings that complicate our lives and prevent us from finding satisfaction. Obstacles may stand in the way of leading more meaningful lives. We may feel stuck or helpless to take important steps, work toward goals and improve relationships. If you can relate, feeling anxious, sad, depressed, stressed, etc., perhaps it’s time for therapy. Anxiety is overwhelming, depression is often debilitating, and maybe you are wondering if therapy can help. Therapy provides the opportunity to explore feelings of depression, anxiety, helplessness or hopelessness.

Welcome to my practice! I am a board certified clinical psychologist and from an integrative/humanistic approach, I work with adolescents and adults of all backgrounds, cultures, genders and sexual orientations. I hold a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology, Master’s degrees in Bioethics and Clinical Psychology, and am a Fellow in Thanatology: Death Education and Counseling. I align my therapy work with the goals, wishes and needs of the clients I work with. I strive to create a safe space to help you tap into inner courage, authenticity, creativity, presence, compassion. I work with individuals and also provide couples therapy.

Do you find that your mood dictates your behaviors? Or do you engage in ineffective ways of communicating your wants and needs to others? My clients learn how emotional dysregulation is a common symptom of depression, anxiety, stress and other mental health conditions. It can lead to negative emotions and a downward spiral of negative self thoughts. Utilizing a variety of evidenced-based practices, I will help you change these behavioral patterns and achieve your life worth living goals.

Do emotions take you on a wild ride as a couple or on your own? Do you overreact even though you know better? Are you anxiously in your head or feeling shut down? Are you longing for higher love? To feel emotionally safe and connected? Did you grow up with physical, emotional, or sexual abuse? An abusive or addicted parent? Many who suffer do not know childhood trauma, relationship wounds, sexual assault, or adverse experiences live on somatically in the nervous system and emotions. It is not your fault. The natural ability to find peace inside and connection with others simply becomes less flexible, but all of this can shift!

I work with individuals, couples, families and adolescents. I quickly get to know my clients so that we can co-create a plan that is right for them. Some people come with specific issues they would like to address. Others, are not sure why they are unhappy, feel nervous, are dissatisfied, and are not enjoying life. Together we investigate where this may come from, look for the root cause(s) and then create a plan for change. My business and entrepreneurial background helps me to understand the pressures that many people face daily, the challenges of balancing work & life, and the struggle to maintain relationships and a career.

Living with frequently intense emotions is tough and tiresome. Everyone’s story matters and every life is worth living so I strive to inspire and empower my clients, helping them gain a healthier relationship with themselves, their goals, and others. I enjoy working with adults as well as teens, and my experience revolves around helping those who struggle with overwhelmingly strong emotions and ineffective behaviors that get in the way of their goals or relationships. I teach my clients how to pause in life so that they can respond with decision and self respect rather than reacting from emotion. If you feel stuck, let me help.

If you are dealing with trauma, life transitions, anxiety, or depression, I am here to help you. I've served with children, teens, and families for several years and walked with adults and couples through their healing process. You can expect an empathetic therapist that desires to help you through your therapeutic journey. I can help by providing a safe place for you to share your thoughts and feelings.

Life events, transitions, and stressors -regardless of how big or small- can cause distress. These struggles can impede or stifle personal growth, relationships, and overall satisfaction. My hope is to help to reduce the negative, undesirable impact of stressors and increase the positive, proactive possibilities.

With over 20 years of clinical experience, I work with individuals, couples and families struggling with a variety of issues at all stages of development. Stress, anxiety, depression, and grief can be difficult to manage for anyone, and can be exacerbated by life circumstances. Relationship issues and family stressors can also be precipitants for increased difficulties for individuals. Personalities and abilities differ-from athletes to artists- having unique needs. Parents dealing with children with ADHD, twice gifted, learning disorders, or autism face very specific interactional challenges, impacting all areas of their life.

My ideal clients are individuals who struggle with self-worth, trauma, or just feel stuck. Although I specialize in adolescent mental health, I also work with adults and children with the goal of drawing to the surface each individual client's unique awesomeness. For me, that moment when a client discovers and connects with his/her/their power is the ultimate success.
