Therapists in Englewood, FL

You are a source of strength, compassion, curiosity and resilience at your innermost core. Counseling can help you enhance your ability to heal emotional wounds, reduce suffering, and lead to emotional wellness.

Hi! I am Dr. Lynn Bernstein. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who accepts most medical insurances for your behavioral health treatment. I have 25 years of experience working with issues of PTSD (trauma, military, and situational), mood disorders, adjustments to life, memory issues, and psychological and neuropsychological testing for VA, SSD, and legal requests.

Hi there! Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately? Has life piled on stressors due to overwhelming changes around you? Are you struggling to function daily and the past keeps replaying over and over? Making the first step to start therapy can be very hard. It takes a great deal of strength, vulnerability and courage to take the first step. My first priority is providing a private and compassionate environment where you feel at ease opening up. I integrate mind and body awareness in my sessions and provide insight and awareness. Mental health counseling is the best investment you will make for your self and for your relationships.

Do you consider yourself to be a high achieving woman who struggles with perfectionism, people pleasing and self sacrifice? Are you struggling with poor self-esteem and confidence and want to feel more secure again? Have the stress and anxiety of being a modern-day woman become overwhelming and exhausting? Let’s be real, you are outwardly successful; you’ve achieved a lot in your life. People look at you and think you have it all together. You give your best effort and take care of others before yourself. Yet, you sometimes feel anxious and depressed, unsure of how you got here and how to fix it. You have come to the right place!

Are you in a life transition? Do you feel like you are struggling to find solid footing? Life can often throw us unforeseen curve balls. Change whether temporary or permanent can be difficult to navigate alone. I take pride in providing a safe space for patients and families to express themselves as well as figure out what their goals will be and how to achieve these goals to live their best life.

Are you overwhelmed by past or current trauma? Does that lead to behaviors that aren’t currently serving you or are preventing you from living the life you want? Do you feel you need more effective skills to handle daily life? Then I want to help! I am committed to the well-being and wholeness of each individual, so they can function more effectively, achieve their goals, and reach their full potential. As a Trauma Therapist and Cognitive Behavior Therapist (CBT), I specialize in Brainspotting (BSP), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Hypnosis, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

The season is changing and still nothing’s changed. Every morning is the same. The alarm goes off and you hit the snooze button over and over, before finally tumbling out of bed. Why? Because facing the day is drudgery. You get all the necessary tasks done, but without enthusiasm, connection, or joy. The panic and fear are just icing on the cake. That voice in your head tells you, “Don’t bother you’ll never measure up.” No one knows how hard it is to keep going. It doesn’t feel safe to tell them. Where did the voice come from? When did it start? Too long ago to remember. One thing’s for sure – nothing you’ve tried has worked.

I help adults and teens who are really struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, and difficult situations. I'll help you create the change you need to live a more fulfilling life. We'll work together to address and change the behaviors necessary to reduce or eliminate your symptoms. My areas of expertise include chronic depression and/or anxiety. My personal mission is to helping people find their inner strength and use it to live their best life.

Anxious, overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted. This is what it feels like to be constantly overthinking situations, which leave you feeling disconnected from your true self. Whether it's school, work or your relationships, you are feeling fearful, on edge, or irritable, no matter what you do. You might not even recall a time where things didn’t feel this way. What you do know is that you are searching for change and relief. You are ready to learn how to manage these difficult thoughts and emotions. You are ready to find joy, feel confident, and worry free. You are ready to focus on you.

I worked with adults for the past 30 years who may be experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, struggling through a developmental transition, those who have had a recent loss and need to grieve, or those having problems in their relationships with their partners. My areas of expertise include: Trauma Resolution-EMDR Trained, Sex Therapy-Qualified Therapist State of Florida.

People often turn to a professional counselor when they are having trouble with relationships--either with self or others. Sometimes we feel stuck in life situations and are unable to move forward. We all need balance in life and sometimes it helps to have some guidance reaching that goal--whether in our personal or professional arena. We can work together to find the most beneficial approach for you to get your life on track.

Most sessions are treatment oriented using a cognitive behavior approach, however I also do a lot of work with adults abused as children. I work with many dually diagnosed clients -substance abuse and mentally ill . Referrals are made to Dr. Bennett McAllister if medications are deemed a possibility. He also uses TMS treatments for depression. I also see a lot of clients with posttraumatic stress disorder and complicated trauma experiences.

I am a licensed psychologist with more than 30 years experience in the field of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (CBT), a powerful cognitive behavioral technique and an Associate Fellow of the Albert Ellis Institute. I teach people to become their own happier healthy self. My practice is focused on active-directive strategies to help people gain stability and mental flexibility. In the last 18 years, I have found that the combination of cognitive behavioral talk therapy and/or a complimentary psycho-physiological therapy, EEG Biofeedback or Neurofeedback, has been the most robust evidenced-based interventions I have used in my years of practice.

It is my goal to assist clients in recognizing and maximizing their strengths so that they can experience more enjoyment in their lives. By providing a safe, supportive and understanding environment I am able to help my clients in making healthy changes. I truly enjoy collaborating with clients to address areas of concern and to facilitate growth. My approach to therapy is non-traditional, solution focused and very effective. Therapy is individualized to the client's needs and goals. I work in both short-term and long-term milieu depending on the client's preferences and needs.

The counseling process is about your healing into wholeness. My job is to facilitate this journey and help you identify issues, concerns, and the solutions to them as you walk into a life of balance and empowerment. I offer an interesting combination of services that include, but is not limited to, traditional person-centered insight-oriented talk therapy, guided imagery, relaxation training, hypnosis, and vibrasound music technology. Be it mental, emotional, or spiritual issues that need to be addressed this multi-modal approach helps you step into your true and perfect integrated self. www.nouveauhealing.com www.nouveausolutions.com

I am experienced with versatile populations and therapeutic concerns. My therapy techniques with children include a mix of cognitive-behavioral therapy, the developmental approach, creative and play-based interventions, and integrating sensory interventions into daily life in order to cope with the social-emotional effects of grief, trauma, and neurodevelopmental disorders. I am also passionate about working with adults healing from psychological trauma and loss. Building a client-focused therapeutic alliance and providing a safe environment centered on empathic support and compassion is paramount to how I connect with clients.

For both children and adults, challenges can create anxiety, frustration, depression, and the feeling there is no way out. I offer a place of safety and support where you can freely process emotions and thoughts, come to a deeper understanding of yourself, and find ways to get yourself unstuck. Together, we look at self-defeating patterns and seek to understand their source. It is my goal to connect with clients regardless of where they may be in their experience. I partner with and hold space for clients of all ages, assisting them in finding their own internal strength and discovering practical solutions to challenges they face.

How would you describe your relationship with yourself? Whether it is because of painful and difficult moments or relationships, behaviors that feel like they are out of your control, traumas that you've experienced, over time you have probably recorded some tapes that you play in your head that keep you feeling stuck. I believe that every person has the ability to change these tapes and improve their relationships with themselves. My goal is to be a compassionate and collaborative resource to improve that relationship with yourself, create an awareness of your strengths, and help you develop the skills needed to fulfill your goals.

My ideal client is motivated to improve their situation. They may be dealing with depression or anxiety around issues of grief and loss, family concerns, LGBT issues or may just not know why things aren't going well
