Christian Counseling Therapists in Martin County, FL

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the states of Florida and Indiana. I facilitate the spiritual, mental and emotional healing process through talk therapy. I believe my gift, in the counseling relationship, is that I help others see things for themselves. I also have a Christian world view which guides my interaction with others. I am a compassionate, non judgmental, "Wounded healer". I have had to work through challenging issues in life like anyone else. I do not condemn nor condone; I treat.

No matter what you're experiencing, there is a way through. You are not alone. I'll listen (REALLY listen) and support you as you work toward whatever goal you choose for yourself or your child. My style is warm and caring, with unconditional positive regard for all clients. Although I've worked most of my career with youth (and still LOVE it), I've discovered that I also enjoy supporting parents and helping adult clients work though some of life's challenges so they can get back to living their best lives. Also, I have a passion for Christian counseling, which I offer upon request. I believe that nothing is impossible with God!

I am a Christian therapist who is skilled at addressing grief and loss issues and significant changes in life. I help clients to address their pain, anxiety, and depression as they walk through the storms of life. My gift is to provide support, encouragement, and wisdom as my clients address these issues and walk towards healing.

Life's challenges can be very demanding and burdensome. Taking the step to seek additional help can also be a difficult process but here you are, taking that step toward healing. Therapy can give you beneficial approaches and a space to discuss and process those challenges and manage your emotions. I can assist you in your journey to a better quality of life in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. Together, we will identify your strengths, enhance your skill-sets, and develop reasonable coping and calming abilities. You will grow and gain a better understanding of yourself as well as find a new sense of empowerment.

As a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Martin County, my passionate goal is to assist adults, elders, couples, teens, children and family systems in overcoming life stressors. My office seeks to strengthen client's coping skills and communication skills and thereby address anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use disorder, ADHD, communication breakdowns, family medical challenges, eating disorders and a host of other mental health disorders.

Are you tired of hearing that you need to “let that go”? Does your anxiety, panic, or sadness get in the way of what you really want your life to be like? Maybe there’s been some dramatic changes in your life that you feel are too overwhelming to cope with and so you’ve stopped coping and feel a little stuck. Sometimes we need an alternative way of thinking or a little tweak in the way our minds have been making us feel.

Specializing in depression, anxiety, men's issues along with self-esteem issues, adjustment issues, addiction issues, and emotional issues; my therapeutic approach emphasizes that people have the power to find meaning in anything they do through choice and freedom. Meaning in life can enable people impacted by depression and anxiety to alleviate bitterness and apathy. The basis of treatment involves a supportive therapeutic relationship in an effort to talk about, understand, cope, and resolve symptoms. Encouraging people to address the emotional issues they face through full engagement and to take responsibility for the decisions that caused problems to develop is the focus of therapy.

I understand that past experiences and societal messages can impact your self-worth and overall enjoyment in life. My passion lies in helping clients discover the beauty within and surrounding their everyday lives. I will aid you in developing resiliency within various life circumstances; while providing support as you discover and build upon your internal strengths. I specialize in therapy for tweens, teens, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, body image issues, disordered eating patterns, and trauma.

Life in todays' world is challenging and trying to move through it alone can add additional stress. I have extensive experience helping people in a safe, secure, friendly and relaxed way with their often-overwhelming concerns about feelings, behaviors and relationships. As a licensed counselor, I care about clients' concerns. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy ( REBT ) and / or Systemic Therapy, clients can free themselves from stressful concerns and feel fulfilled. To start your anticipated move away from stressful concerns, call Donald Berch at ( 772 ) 485-0706.

I feel and experience the best approach to healing is to heal mind and body as ONE. I am a somatic trained Trauma therapist. Trauma causes an overcharged nervous system, regulated by the mind and directed by the brain. When we work you will discharge traumatic experiences then the body can self-regulate to a reorganized state of aliveness. The brain rewires and the mind can let go of the attachment to pain and trauma. Focusing on goals and applying scientific approaches to mind/body trauma releases CORE traumatic injuries. IMAGINE change today.

You can work through issues with a trusted, skilled and compassionate professional, in a safe, comfortable and distraction-free place. Your life may have layers of conflicts, suffering, faulty perception or maladapted behavior, but nothing is impossible for those who seek help. My approach to counseling encourages and supports you to discover, through self-knowledge, your own process for a sustainable self-empowerment, balance, and joy.

Anxious, hopeless, helpless, lack of energy and motivation, overwhelming thoughts... this may be more days than you care to admit. You are hurting, exhausted and at the point where it is time to make some changes, but... the question of "how" remains. It's a difficult step to seek out help when experiencing painful times or issues, but step one is now done since you searched for a Therapist. Let's take control away from anxiety, stress, panic, fears, depressed thoughts and feelings or painful memories.

Do you or someone you love have cancer? This isn't the life you planned for. Every priority you had changed in an instant. Perhaps you are feeling a flood of shock, sadness, fear, anger, confusion, anxiety, and depression. It is hard to talk with friends and family members. Many just don't understand what you're going through. You feel you need to be strong all the time - to guard everyone from how you really feel. You don't know what to do. Sadly, friends drift away. Scans, biopsies, labs, and treatments are relentless, and you fear it may come back one day.

Are you at the end of your rope? Have you been abused? Do you feel alone with deep, emotional pain, shame, and guilt? I know the feelings of depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. Clients often ask, "Will I ever get over this?" Yes, in a vast majority of cases, you will experience emotional and physical healing. Call me today to start your journey to healing. Furthermore, you may be a Believer, yet God seems a million miles away. Or perhaps you realized your issues, but don't know what to do or who to talk to. Conceivably, people's addictions and dysfunctions have created a trap, and you can't climb out.

I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 37 years. Previous to being a therapist I was a teacher of the deaf. I enjoy working with couples, individuals and families on a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, marital issues and parenting. I view life from a Christian perspective and enjoy helping clients integrate their faith into their life and recovery.

I listen, observe, validate and encourage. That's my acronym for LOVE. Trauma is an isolating event that leaves us with a barrage of anxiety, lack of trust and fear. I can help you disassemble the fortress you have built around you. Together we rekindle your likes and desire, improve your trust and strenghten your core (your voice and choices).

Healing begins when you allow yourself to stop suffering. As Helen Keller stated, "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it". Your journey begins when you identify the emotions causing you to feel your life is out of control. The process of healing starts by recognizing and removing layers of false beliefs and negative thoughts. Understanding where those beliefs and thoughts come from will allow you to gain strength and courage to overcome the challenges and obstacles you face throughout your life. It is then you will experience inner peace with a healing mind.
