Career Counseling Therapists in Cantonment, FL

Starting your mental health journey can be overwhelming. Sometimes it is a struggle to know where to begin or find the words to describe how you feel. We can tuck trauma away like a book on a bookshelf waiting to be picked up and read. Trauma is not always associated with war. It can be something that can be seen as seemingly small, like growing up in a lonely household, or it can be seen in surviving a car accident. Wherever you are in your life, whether it is struggling to begin a new career, having a major life event, or maybe it is time to address your social anxiety, I would be honored to extend a helping hand.

As a Counselor I am humbled to be a part of my client's journey to emotional health. Helping clients find their path in life and living an abundant life is not only my profession but also my passion.

I believe everyone has the opportunity to change and better themselves, develop new skills, and to move forward.  I am here to listen to your needs and provide the most beneficial, effective experience possible to help you achieve your goals. There are situations that can make you feel overwhelmed and unable to move forward. During my career I have been able to help others develop new skills to grow and become confident. I like to work with parents and adolescents and to help them develop positive relationships.  I have interest in individuals and families dealing with unexpected medical conditions, losses and traumatic events.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, and we struggle to catch our breath. Congratulations on your decision to start making positive changes in your life through the assistance of counseling. Hi, I'm Ashley! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who is based in the beautiful Florida Gulf Coast Panhandle. Finding the "right" counselor is important, so I'd love to share a little bit about myself. I am a wife of 20 years, the proud mom of two kiddos, and a human mom to a precious labrador retriever. My happy place is definitely at the beach looking for shells or enjoying the waves from my beach chair!

If you struggle with transportation, time constraints or prior obligations. Here at Brave Health we bring the convenience of telehealth to treat mental health and addiction.

Life can be difficult. The experiences we encounter can shape and mold us unto someone we may no longer recognize, understand misplaced feelings or have an impact on our daily functioning, but we continue to press... We have people relying on us, responsibilities waiting on us while fears and pain hunt us....but we continue to press....We think the feelings, flashbacks, nightmares, anger, hurt or pain will go away not realizing it is trauma. Trauma is simply an event which causes extreme distress and can manifest in different ways for different people. Lets work together to live a healthy life healed from the effects of trauma.

Have you ever felt the weight of unresolved situations, feelings, or traumas, as if they cast a shadow over your life?

There is a path to healing, and I'm dedicated to guiding you on your journey toward reclaiming your life. Trauma recovery is a deeply personal, and transformative process, and I'm honored to be a part of your healing journey. Together, we will explore your experiences, provide you with practical tools for coping and healing, and work towards restoring a sense of safety, security, empowerment, and self.

Do you want to become unapologetically you? Do you want to find your purpose in life? Do you want to grow your confidence and self love? Do you want to improve your mindset? Do you want to identify and eliminate toxic relationships? Do you want to learn how to set healthy boundaries? Do you want to implement self-care into your daily routine? Do you want to feel empowered to take healthy risks? Do you have everything in life but still feel unhappy ? Do you work your butt off for other people’s approval and validation, but can’t find internal validation within?

Hi, I'm Brandy, and I want to thank you for taking the time to invest in you. For making you and/or your family health a priority. You may or may not know exactly what you're looking for, but you're on the right track. Something innate led you to this spot in life, and I'd love for you to go with it. Following your unique path sometimes means sharing the burden and asking for a little help. I'm already proud of you for taking this first step. Whatever your needs are, I'm confident I can help. Let's see.

Feel like life could be so much more peaceful and enjoyable than it is if you could just get past worrying what others will think of you? When you combine neuroscience with philosophy and personal kink, you unlock greatness and I know just how to do it. You see, people have it backwards; radical autonomy isn’t the death of connection, it’s the conception. It’s what allows us to truly be close to others by being fully ourselves, without reservation. In order to do that though, most of us have to clear away the beliefs we grew up with that no longer resonate and be brave enough to overcome any guilt or fear of being labeled selfish.

As a highly experienced Licensed Professional Counselor with 27 years in the mental health field, I aim to empower individuals to find inner strength and confidence and to believe in themselves again. I work with clients through a solution-focused and CBT approach to identify and develop the skills needed to resolve their unique challenges and situations. I help clients to embrace their truth and live in the present, encouraging them to take responsibility for their actions while also reminding them that it is ok not to be perfect.

Ever find yourself asking, "Am I losing control?"..." Will I live like this forever?"..."Something has to change, but what?"..."Is God even listening to my cries for help?"

Are you wrestling with the challenges of past traumatic experiences? Do you want to diminish your anxiety and depression, being able to move forward without always being triggered or being awoken by a panic attack? Your goals may be to enjoy your life, be able to manage your emotions and enjoy healthy relationships. I'm here to listen, understand, and help you feel validated and valued so that you can move forward confidently. We will be working through trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and exposure-based therapy with a solution-focused approach, along with incorporating your faith, if applicable.

It is important that my clients have issues that I am qualified to treat. An ideal client would be willing to explore, understand, and work through their psychological and emotional challenges. Their needs consist of a nonjudgmental space where they feel seen, heard, and understood, allowing them to express themselves freely and practical tools and coping strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, or stress and to navigate challenging emotions or situations.
