“I’m fine” is the one of most common lies we hear. It's ok not to be ok. We are often shamed for being broken instead of asked how we fell apart. For sixteen years I suffered from an eating disorder that ultimately inspired my studies to help others who felt anxious, depressed, and insecure. Trauma is a fact of life but it does not have to be a life sentence. Humans are very resilient. Artwork is just like our ever-evolving journey; we are always learning, growing, and surprised by life. My focus is primarily client-centered; however, I use an eclectic approach to meet the needs of my clients.

I have spent years working with individuals and helping them through addiction, trauma, anxiety and relationship troubles. Often co-occurring disorders such as codependency and depression live just under the surface and make it hard to sustain a life of meaning and purpose. When these issues are addressed, true healing is possible. I love to assist people in discovering their true self by working through their thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Weeki Wachee, FL 34613 (Online Only)
I specialize in helping clients work through relational problems. One of the challenges I help clients work through is when one is in a relationship with another presenting with Narcissistic traits. When a client comes to me thinking something is wrong with them after being in such a toxic and emotionally abusive relationship, I help them find themselves again and realize they are not to blame. Helping clients understand they do not deserve to be treated like that is a way I feel most helpful.

Intervention Success - Absolute Adventure
JD, CAI, NCIP, CRC

Treasure Island, FL 33706
I believe that intervention is one of the most effective ways to help someone suffering from alcoholism, substance abuse, eating disorders or other process addictions, such as gambling, internet, or sex addiction. I have been fortunate to have an amazing success rate and, in certain circumstances, will refund fees if the intervention is unsuccessful after a level III family meeting. Intervention is necessary in cases of addictive behaviors because the addiction cannot survive without denial and delusion of the consequences of the individual's actions and behaviors. It is a life changing, life affirming event for all concerned.

Sylphia Lindsay, LMHC, CAP, CTT, also trained in somatic experience (SE). My philosophy is that counseling is an important aspect of personal growth for all persons. I believe that in a person's journey, growth is about guidance - seeing yourself through a different lens. That can be found spiritually, through self-help, individual therapy, etc. I believe the growth starts within the person, and therapy is the assistance that guides you to the higher sense of awareness. That higher sense of awareness allows you to achieve higher goals.

I am flexible to meet your needs in person and remotely. Feeling stressed, lost, and overwhelmed are common ways people experience and cope with difficulties. Sometimes we can all feel that there is nowhere to turn for support. Thankfully, finding great encouragement and understanding can quickly put us on a healthier path. I feel very fulfilled while helping others during a struggling time. I myself have learned that struggles can be temperary, and that there are ways to cope while extreme stress situations are underway. Gaining coping skills and improving ones mindset and approach can create a better outcome for ourselves

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
