Gulf Wind Counseling was founded with a vision of providing high-quality psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults regardless of socio-economic background. We develop treatment strategies based on the specific needs of clients using evidence-based therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Structural Family Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy. Typical challenges we can help with include depression, anxiety, anger, opposition, defiance, family conflict, couples conflict, school refusal, blended families, manic behavior, grief, trauma and substance misuse.

Struggling with mental health issues is hard. Whether it's depression, anxiety, loneliness, a family issue, or spiritual concern, our issues leave us feeling exhausted and defeated. The last thing you want when you're experiencing hardship is another piece of advice telling you what to do. You already have the ability to make necessary change but may need a little extra support to get you there. I offer an inviting, warm, and encouraging therapy environment to come alongside and extend my partnership to assist you in meeting your therapy goals.

Sometimes, life challenges can make us feel isolated, overwhelmed, and like no one could possibly understand. If you're experiencing these feelings and finding it harder to cope, I'd love to partner with you in exploring and improving your situation. I'd like to show you that someone can, in fact, understand. My training – in both Counseling (MS & EdS) and Marriage & Family Therapy (PhD) – makes me uniquely qualified to address a myriad of individual and relational issues using evidence-based methods that increase insight and help bring about your desired changes.

My name is Velma Penermon Stevens, licensed clinical social worker. With over 26 years experience as a social worker and 8 years in pastoral care, I bring a unique perspective to our sessions. This can be instrumental in helping you find resolution in your season of need. You'll get a compassionate and judgement free approach to therapy. Feeling depressed anxious, stressed and/or overwhelmed, struggling with substance use/abuse, grief & loss, domestic violence, and/or marriage/family/relationship issues? Let me help. Together we'll get you back to your balanced state by developing a treatment plan with your specific needs.

Whether you need help overcoming minor stress or major obstacles in your life, therapy can be a safe environment to find new ways of navigating life. In a nonjudgemental and affirming approach, I aim to help you heal your relationship with yourself and with others by processing your past experiences to learn how those experiences impact you in the present. I hope to support you get a clearer understanding of the different parts of yourself and empower you to find new ways to either change, accept, or manage the challenges in you're facing.

Problems do not occur in a vacuum. Individual problems often have symptoms that affect the entire family system. I work with children, adolescents, couples, and families experiencing whatever problems of the moment. During our work together, we will explore the impact of the issue and join together to generate solutions that not only benefit the people in the room, but may also positively influence future generations.

I have extensive experience with mood disorders, trauma and addictions and work with all ages. I am trained in EMDR and use that technique with both children and adults if appropriate. My clients often state when they first spoke to me they felt immediately at ease and did not feel judged. I am able to assist my clients in seeing patterns in their life story and work to identify and change core beliefs such as "I'm not good enough", "I'm defective" or "I cannot trust others."

On the outside you have it all together but on the inside you are falling apart, you continue to tell yourself you are just tired or stressed. Have you been struggling to do basic things and are uninterested in the things you once enjoyed. You are experiencing constant mood swings that you cannot explain or control, feeling hopeless and constant racing thoughts that make it difficult to get through each day. Do you find yourself spending money or overindulging in food for instant gratification?

Our thoughts, emotions, and sensations aren't just experienced in our minds; they are experienced in our bodies. When we become disconnected from our emotions and sensations due to things like stress, trauma, or shame, it can leave us feeling "stuck" and unable to truly thrive. The weight of our past experiences can make it difficult to move forward in life. I help clients strengthen their mind-body connection and tap into their own inner knowing to facilitate meaningful change and healing.

I believe it is important to provide a relaxed and supportive environment for clients to discuss their concerns, with tele-health psychotherapy and evaluations being available online through Thera-link. I strive to provide psychotherapy, psychological consultations, and clinical assessment that promote well-being, personal growth, increase in skills/knowledge base, and effectiveness for clients.

There are times in life when it becomes difficult to overcome life challenges. Therapy can help assist individuals with overcoming obstacles that interfere with moving forward in life. I believe everyone is unique and deserves to have access to treatment centered around their individual needs.

I firmly believe that people are amazingly complex and that there is no cookie-cutter approach that will solve everyone's unique challenges. By working through situations with a focus on lifestyle, faith, values, and overall wellness, I have found that dramatic changes can occur in someone's life.

I am a Seminary trained clinical therapist. I am also a combat veteran and have experience serving in ministry abroad.

I have worked successfully with adult's from many backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and religious faith's.

With a compassionate approach and evidence-based techniques, I provide personalized therapy sessions aimed at supporting individuals through their healing journey. My goal is to create a safe space for clients to explore their emotions, develop coping skills, and ultimately find peace and resilience amidst their struggles. Together, we'll work towards reclaiming control over your life and building a brighter, more fulfilling future.

Hello, my name is Dr. Cortnie S. Baity, LMFT and I am the owner of Onward and Upward Psychotherapy & Consulting Services, LLC., now serving all Florida and Georgia residents. I understand that throughout our life’s journey we all will face difficult moments and/or seasons. In order to grow through these times we must embrace the human species’ primal need for survival: meaningful social engagement.

I specialize in working with individuals who are looking to do deep inner work & who have been to traditional therapy before, but have come to an impasse. For those clients who have talked it all out, but continue to suffer, I offer an alternative approach. Many individuals whom I have had the privilege to walk with on their healing journey were facing things like depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, parenting difficulties & trauma. I am trained in EMDR, TRE & use these with clients as part of a wholistic approach. My intent is to provide a safe and non-threatening space to explore and release difficult histories.

Welcome! Although challenging, the therapeutic process can be a positive, life changing experience. By providing a safe, nurturing atmosphere; adults, children, and families are able to learn appropriate techniques to decrease distress while improving their mental health. I believe achieving a healthy mental health balance is important in all aspects of life.

Happy New Year! We are the product of all of our collective experiences - the great, the difficult, and the parts of ourselves we like to shy away from. All of our experiences, especially those during our developmental years, shape our sense of self, the lens in which we view the world, and our place in it. My practice is rooted in social work principles and aspects of positive psychology to help guide you on the healing of the entire individual. I am currently accepting clients for night/weekend sessions.

We all experience struggles from time to time that may leave us feeling overwhelmed, or numb and disconnected. Whether you are recovering from trauma, experiencing relationship difficulties, seeking insight, or needing a safe space to work through difficult emotions- therapy can help you forge a new way forward while collaborating with a caring clinician. Although starting therapy can feel a bit scary, it is a worthy process.
