At CALM Counseling & Consulting I emphasize empowerment and self-acceptance. CALM Counseling & Consulting works together with adolescents, and adults to help them stride towards controlling behavioral or emotional patterns that cause significant impairment in personal functioning, within the family, work, or school environment. I am relaxed, open-minded, and solution-focused. I want to empower clients to be able to support themselves. I want clients to learn the coping strategies and skills that will enable them to manage their lives in a more positive and productive manner.
CALM Counseling & Consulting also provides Supervision for those individuals who are Registered Interns pursuing their Licensure thru the State of Florida as LMHC and LMFTs.
