Therapists in Sarasota, FL

Hi, i’m Shea. I am a client-centered therapist with an empathetic, accepting and supportive approach to life and therapy. My focus is first building a trusting relationship with clients so they can feel safe and comfortable opening up about their struggles. I apply a caring and compassionate approach to each session that encourages clients through the use of ACT(Acceptance and Commitment), Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused and Motivational Interviewing therapy techniques to help patients create and achieve their goals.

If you always do what you have always done then you will always get what you have always gotten. Are you tired of always getting the same result in relationships or with family members or with your kids? If so, then it's time to do something different. Take a chance in therapy with me. I am a strength-based, solution focused, marriage and family therapist with a solid CBT foundation that desires to help you and your partner, your family and/or your children find a different way of handling life's challenges.

Hello, my name is Nathan Groff and I'm a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Florida. I've worked in various settings such as community organizations, faith based, non-profits, private practice, hospitals, schools, and also county contracts. My demographic of specialty has been teenagers and adolescents, but I have worked with all populations from substance, family, crisis, groups, couples, and individuals. I'm also adopted which provides me with a unique perspective when working with parents and individuals of those within the adoption and foster care community. My promise is to meet you where your at.

If you want change in your life, I can help. I believe everyone has the strength and courage within themselves to find the "answers" they are seeking; therapy is the process of discovering these "answers." I want to help you find your answers and can offer non-judgmental support so that you can be a healthier, stronger you. I graduated from Argosy University, earning my Masters of Art degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am also a graduate from the University of South Florida's Bachelors of Art Program with a degree in Psychology.

I truly enjoy getting to know each client and meet them where they are in life. My strengths include empathy, compassion, engagement and I am non-judgmental. I have helped clients who struggle with anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, blended family and infidelity among others. My ideal client will work collaboratively with me to develop a set of goals and be motivated to work together to reach them.

I provide a safe environment to explore and resolve beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that stand in the way of living a fully conscious and authentic life. Specialties include work with anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce, death, attachment ruptures, and ancestral/ inter-generational shame, and PTSD. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have studied at the Graduate Theological Union - University of California, Berkeley, The Graduate School for Marriage and Family Therapy, Ca.Institute of Integral Studies (San Francisco), and The Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist with many years of experience. I have worked with adults, children and adolescents in several venues. My goal is to meet people where they are and bring them along their journey to attain their desired outcome.

Divorce is difficult and one of my specialties in my practice along with relationship and family issues. Imagine having a supportive person throughout your divorce journey who will listen without judging, help you see the new path when you don't know the next step and cheer you on when you feel like giving up. I am passionate about assisting both men and women navigate the roller coaster of divorce with clarity, confidence, and class. I want to help you cope with your emotions appropriately, which will allow you to move forward and thrive. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that also enjoys working with teenagers.

Many of us struggle with conflicting thoughts and emotions. Facing challenging decisions, navigating intimate relationships and family, and carrying too many responsibilities can be overwhelming and often too difficult to work though alone. Unresolved issues and traumas can lead to feeling "stuck" rather than taking steps towards finding solutions and healing. Many people resort to "quick fixes" when feeling lonely, anxious, or depressed, instead of addressing the root cause of the pain and discomfort. My experiences and training allow me to help you find tools within yourself to discover new perspectives and cultivate new skills.

Eliminate conflict, anxiety and depression more quickly when you engage your subconscious mind in the process of positive and rapid change. Activate new ways of thinking and coping to get more of what you want in life! Learn how previous experiences have influenced your choices until now, and begin to make the changes you want immediately. My approach is caring and supportive. As you clarify your goals and move towards attaining them, you will become more aware of your own strengths and options moving forward.

For 36 years I have worked as a psychotherapist to help individuals, couples and families find their way to a healthy, satisfying and happy life. I create a supportive, caring and empathetic environment to help you work through the difficulties you face. We not only talk about what you are struggling with, but we will find ways to have a deeper understanding of the patterns of behavior that have gotten in the way of you finding useful and creative solutions. I provide various forms of TeleHealth Therapy with FaceTime, Zoom or Phone sessions.

I love helping people heal, develop and create healthier relationships. My passion is to facilitate transformational change that results in greater inner peace, healthy self love and joy in life and relationships. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I enjoy helping clients address underlying causes to symptoms like depression and anxiety.

Welcome and thank you for visiting and taking the first step to personal well-being. People seek out psychotherapy for many reasons. My focus is to help identify what is most important to you in your life that you wish to strengthen and express more fully, even if you are facing difficulties right now. What may appear as obstacles at first can merely be stepping-stones to your deepest fulfillment. I welcome the opportunity to take part of that journey with you in a confidential environment committed to sensitivity and compassion with proven strategies that motivate and encourage continued success.

As a holistic practitioner, who is also a psychotherapist, artist, healer and grandmother, I offer children and their families practical life changing tools and knowledge to meet everyday challenges. Children and adolescents are living a completely different childhood than we did and it is helpful to get a skilled and intuitive perpsective about these shifts. Some of the tools that I offer include: Mindfulness for kids and adolescents, Tapping or Emotional Freedom Techniques, Creative Arts, Hypnotherapy and Personalized Meditations.

The best therapy always starts with being accurately listened to, so you can feel deeply known. Then as we learn more about yourself, you build your inner awareness of your emotions, thinking patterns and interpersonal processes. I will be with you in each moment, neutrally observing you, and coaching you to do the same for yourself. Watching together instead of judging. Moving your personal narrative into your embodied experience. We then work together applying many tools for change. My therapeutic style supports you, taking your vague desires, or back burner dreams and making them into actionable words, goals, tools.

I work with children, adolescents, families, adults and seniors through individual, family, couples and marital counseling. I work with clients who have been abused, traumatized, neglected and are struggling and attempting to cope with issues of depression, anxiety, ADHD, separation anxiety, anger management, co-dependence, adolescence, preparing and moving to college, family stressors and dynamics, parenting, divorce, co-parenting, school issues, employment issues, job loss, retirement, grief, and alienation.

The journey of one's life can be thrown off course by unexpected changes, trauma, grief, life/family transitions, and emotional struggles. I am dedicated in creating a safe place for individuals and families to understand themselves better and explore these life challenges. Everyone needs to feel understood and accepted at some point in their lives. My goal is to recognize each person's individual needs and help create a path to a more fulfilling life. I am committed to providing holistic, inclusive, and personalized interventions that are effective in getting you back to your complete self.
