Hello, I am Chemenda Sawyer. I am a licensed mental health therapist. Choosing to seek counseling can be difficult and overwhelming. Not to mention intimidating. I want to reassure you I provide support and guidance without judgment. I am committed to providing a safe space that facilitates growth and development. I empower my clients to change and confront their negative self-talk and self-doubt; in a non-judgmental, empathetic, hopeful way. It is okay to ask for help.

Many of us are not aware of how our upbringing and family dynamics are impacting our present life. We inherit more than just the physical appearance from our parents and family members. We inherit our generation's dysfunctional boundaries, poor communication skills, traumas, parenting style, and much more. We are affected not only by the way we think and respond, but by our environment and current family dynamics. Learning how to set healthy boundaries and functional communication skills can be very challenging if done without professional help. Life-stages come with its challenges but they also come with opportunity for growth.

I am sorry that you are hurting. Everyone hurts sometimes, but now things have gotten too much for you to sort out on your own. I am here to serve as a genuine, empathic, unbiased and supportive therapist who can provide non-judgmental guidance. I can help you create changes that lead to a better life for you & your loved ones. When is the last time you considered THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART? I help clients recognize blessings in hard times & live with purpose and zest. See Video of Ria's Work helping others: http://blog.thegoodmangroup.com/spiritual-care

I believe that most of us, at some point in our lives, face various mental health challenges. Fortunately, I also believe that if we commit ourselves to carefully examining our own actions and beliefs we can, ultimately, overcome these challenges and forge a more meaningful and fulfilling existence. This process, however, can be difficult-sometimes even painful.

Every person is unique, just as our struggles are. Sometimes, having an alternative outlet to open up and share the things that are troubling us, or that we find too difficult to share with those that we are closest to is helpful. Talk therapy provides an outlet process our thoughts, feelings, and emotions, and utilize some of the tools in our coping skills toolbox that may have been forgotten; or, to learn new ones. There is not a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. You are the leader on this journey! Short- and long-term options are available.

Many of us go through life with low self-esteem believing that we're not enough, less than, or undeserving of any good thing. We wonder why good things don't happen for us, or why we can't have healthy relationships like others do. We feel guilt and shame for the things we've done (or not done) and we don't know how to believe in ourselves anymore. I am here to help you through these unhealthy beliefs and help you rediscover your true worth and purpose in this life.

"Helping to make it easier to take the next step..." is the motto for my individual practice. Although it is simple, it depicts the value and importance of the relationship shared between therapist and client. I believe that the decision to move forward in achieving personal peace is fundamental and is accomplished by a collaborative effort. I am here to assist you in becoming self-aware, confident, and stronger than you may have been yesterday. As a LCSW with over 15 yrs experience, I have helped children, adolescents, adults, couples & families successfully overcome their challenges so they may return to a happier and peaceful lifestyle.

Sometimes it feels like you're tired from having to make all sorts of difficult choices in your life. Or, maybe you're dealing with worries that seem way too overwhelming. Sometimes, you feel like you just need someone to listen. I would like the opportunity to aid you in building on your strengths and growing the decision making skills that may help you heal from the battles you've been facing.

I often notice that couples forget that together, they can create a life that they both truly love. My job is to remind you of that and help create a roadmap of how to get there. So often, we settle into a place of disconnection, resentment, frustration, or disdain. Maybe trust has been broken, or you feel more like strangers then best friends. The relationship between partners can add the most incredible richness, excitement and beauty to our worlds, but relationships are always changing and growing- either growing apart or growing together. In couples therapy we'll explore how to get back to growing hand in hand.

Now Accepting New Clients. Often in life, we go through challenges and losses which are overwhelming and wear us down. As a result, we experience painful emotions such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, anger, and resentments. We can feel stuck and unsure of how to move forward. There is hope. Having someone you trust who will listen objectively and guide you is very important in the healing process. I provide the practical feedback, support, and tools needed to create personal growth and lasting change. You'll find I am very easy to talk to, non-judgmental, and knowledgeable.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida specializing in maternal health issues, parenting difficulties, blended family issues, and relationship issues. I have worked with individuals and their journey in motherhood/parenthood and at times the emotional journey it entails. As well as treating clients who also have or may experience depression, anxiety, career challenges, physical/emotional trauma, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is important to me to have my clients feel they are having a conversation rather than clinical assessment, and they overall are the experts of their lives.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” Anais Nin. It may not feel it at this moment, but experiencing positive and meaningful change is possible. Whether you want to quiet your inner critic, experience more joy and meaning in your life; or reduce uncertainty and that “stuck” feeling, transformation can happen. Challenges can allow a turning point in our lives to occur. Transformation and change are possible and my role is to guide you through it. Together, we can explore what is working in your life and identify areas that might be problematic.

Many people struggle with issues in their lives and can benefit from meeting with a trained professional. I help my clients identify problems and work toward a solution. Most problems can be solved with proper help and early treatment, which keeps small problems from becoming large ones that then seem unsolvable. I believe that each individual is unique, regardless if the issues are the same they are still different. Because of this belief, I provide an eclectic approach to therapy matching each individual needs with a specific therapuetic approach. If applicable and the client is interested hypno-therapy is available.

Let’s do real talk. Life can be hard! Understanding what children are experiencing can be difficult. Best of intentions by parents are often misunderstood. When you are a child, talking to your parents is seemingly impossible sometimes. Kids have big emotions they cannot understand or describe, and they think no one will get. Academic stressors, development, parent and peer relationships and significant or traumatic life events can cause a child or teenager to react in various ways. Some kids need a safe space to learn how to identify, express and cope with their feelings. Processing feelings helps to reduce stress and pressures.

Servicios en español. I provide both English and Spanish counseling services. Most importantly, my hope is to create a safe space where clients can explore distressing issues, begin the healing process, and create a sense of self-empowerment as they enter on a voyage towards self-discovery and living a more fulfilling life. From the moment individuals enter my office, I encourage them to "trust the process" as they embark upon their therapeutic journey of healing and self-discovery. I challenge my clients to view this journey with excitement and remind them through every step that there is still hope! Si todavia hay esperanza!
