Female Therapists in Fort Myers, FL

The world seems like a scary place. Worrying seems like the norm to you. Enjoying the present moment or taking any decisions seems impossible. Your mood feels like rollercoaster every day or at times is just numb. Eating helps you feel better at times, but then you feel guilty about going for food or you feel you just had too much, ending in ways to compensate for this. You want to stop this cycle, live in the moment, and enjoy your life. I’m here for you, to listen with empathy, compassion, and without judgement.

My goal with my clients is to encourage all to be curious about what life could be as an empowered and confidential individual. The power to reconstruct your soul comes from being shown how to be honest with yourself.

You’re allowed to take a break, relax & be “unproductive.” You are allowed to slow down, so that you CAN be your most productive and best self. Saying “no” can sometimes feel selfish. Truth is … it is anything but! Saying no allows you to take care of you, so you can care for those you love the most! Are you ready to tap into your soul and gather the inner wisdom stored inside so that you can live your life with confidence and clarity? Are you ready to honor your needs so that you feel energized and excited to start your day? I help women rise up & step into their true genius so that they can live a joyful, rich and meaningful life.

You look in the mirror and feel disgusted. Multiple outfits are scattered on the floor, nothing fits right. You have gained weight again and it's hardly a surprise since the bingeing returned. The feeling of confidence at the beginning of your latest diet is replaced by the heaviness of another failure. You still believe that losing the weight once and for all will give you what you truly want – being liked and accepted. But years of dieting haven't actually changed your life for the better. As your desperation grows you start to wonder if a life without the self-hatred, food obsession and feeling out of control is possible for you.

I’m Deseray Wilson, Owner & Clinical Director of Anxious Black Girls.

The crazy thing about life is that there are no instructions. Sometimes our toughest lessons have to be learned by going through the process of change. How many times have you wished you could hit the "reset" button when things go wrong? While I can't promise a magic button, I can promise that your feelings and the process you are going through right now are both totally valid. Sometimes we hold back on speaking our own truth because we haven't admitted to ourselves yet what we may already be feeling. I'm here to offer you the safe space needed in order to help you uncover your personal truth.

Do you sometimes become frustrated and angry because your feelings are constantly not being validated? You have attempted to address the issue but with very little success. When our feelings are constantly ignored, resentment sets in which eventually progresses to emotional issues including early signs of depression and/or anxiety. Throughout my years in practice I have helped many individuals successfully get the acknowledgement and acceptance from others, simply by recognizing and assessing their own emotional reactions.

A Medicare Approved Provider. Also accepting Aetna, Cigna, United Health Care, BCBS and others. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and trained to provide counseling and psychotherapy. What is the difference? Counseling is usually for more solution focused needs and can be short term. Psychotherapy is not advise. We explore deeper emotional issues, identify the causes and work toward a better understanding of yourself so that you can move on and develop healthier ways of coping with things. I practice CBT which is Cognitive Behavior Therapy: exploring how your thought patterns affect your feelings and behaviors.

When overwhelmed by life, you may experience feeling drained, disconnected, dissatisfied with your relationships, and at times physically unwell. Whether you're seeking relief from prolonged sadness, overwhelming stress, excessive worry, relationship difficulties, sexuality issues, or wanting to move forward, I believe I can help. We can work together towards helping you become more self-aware, present, and better able to cope with life's unending demands.

Making sense of what is happening in the world, the neighborhood, the family and even within myself has taken on a new intensity and urgency!

Whatever your issue, contact me to see if there is a connection that makes a difference.

You just want to feel better. You want to know what is going on. You are tired of telling yourself you should feel better when you know deep in your gut something is just not right. You want the reality of the situation to be acknowledged instead of being told to look on the bright side. If you knew what was wrong and how to fix it you would have done it by now. You know in your head you are supported, but still feel inside of yourself like you are all alone. You are overwhelmed and just fake it, but you are no longer just making it. You need help, but are wondering if you are going to get the kind of help you specifically need.
