Veterans Therapists in Downtown, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Greetings, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 28 years of experience working in the mental health and medical social work field. I have worked with children, adults, families, geriatrics, and people from culturally diverse backgrounds. I have experience working with Autism, ADHD, and people with multiple medical disabilities. I utilize the following treatment approaches in therapy: Crisis Intervention, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral, Cognitive Processing, Solution-Focused, and Bio-Psychosocial Medical models.

Have you experienced trauma or loss due to pregnancy or reproductive difficulties? Did you experience a traumatic birth or currently experiencing post-birth anxiety, depression, or excessive worry? Through grace, compassion, and trauma-informed care, I work with clients to develop goals for achieving a healthy sense of self, family and community.

I have almost 2 decades of experience working with military and first responders who are struggling with PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and TBI. I am also specially trained in nutritional and eating psychology and help people struggling with implementing healthy eating behaviors for overall health and wellness.

I have a passion for helping individuals overcome life’s challenges by attempting to impart the skills necessary to increase overall wellbeing. My therapeutic approach is holistic, which means physical and spiritual health is a huge component in helping individuals feel whole. I attempt therapeutic approaches that are integrative and solution based on each clients specific needs. I have experience with symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, behavior development, anger management, stress, and low self-esteem.

Are you struggling with a recent life transition or adjustment? Whether you're a new mom, going through a new marriage, a divorce/separation, a recent move, or career change, I am here to help you on your journey. I specialize in helping ages 6 and up navigate life transitions and adjustments, anxiety, and depression. I help women process emotional abuse, intimate partner violence, and delve deeper into self-worth. In addition, I work with military and veteran spouses/partners who feel alone in their walk of life whether it’s being a caregiver, or living with someone who struggles with PTSD and other mental health concerns.

I have been in private practice for over twenty-five years. Therapy is a process that can help you get "unstuck" from issues that compromise the quality of life and personal potential. My overall apporach is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I hold national certifications in grief and trauma work. Establishing a balance between good physical, mental, and spiritual health is essential. Christian values form the foundation of my life and practice. The book "Dog Walking - Reflections Through the Seasons" encapsulates my general philosophy. Finally, I have the privilege of working with couples and individuals. Please contact me for additional information.

One afternoon I told my wife that after another tour, I would be leaving the U.S. Coast Guard for a very different career. Serving my country and the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard is one of the greatest honors and privileges of my life. After serving for nine years I knew that directly assisting and serving people is the life-giving work of my heart. I became a Social Worker and therapist because it is my greatest joy and pleasure to support you as you unify all your strengths and gifts to release your Faith, Hope, and Love into society.

My name is Tatiana Scharr, I am bilingual (English/Spanish) a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about the dignity and worth of the individual. I have been working with individuals with a wide variety of traumatic experiences since 2017. I am currently a doctoral candidate in Clinical Sexology, which allows me to provide sex therapy under supervision by a nationally Certified Sex Therapist. I describe my therapeutic approach as simple and straightforward; I believe that therapy is a collaboration where the basic principles are mutual trust, positive regard, and unconditional support.

We all have a path that we go down in life and many times the experiences we have in life make us who we are as a person, and this also contributes to our career choices. We all have past traumas, and my traumas encouraged me to want to help others just as I had guidance on my journey. I have an empathic gift that would be a shame to not share.
