Stress Therapists in Beach Haven, Jacksonville, FL

Are you looking to reduce stress, feel calm, and enjoy your life again? Is your teen struggling with school, friendships, self-esteem, or anxiety? I enjoy assisting clients in learning emotional awareness, anger or anxiety management, coping skills, communication skills, interpersonal skills, and problem solving skills in order to manage their emotions and behavior more effectively. I individualize therapy to the unique needs of my clients. I emphasize holistic growth and healing by incorporating the emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of a client into treatment.

As a clinical psychologist, I understand the weight of mental illness and the loneliness, confusion, and hopelessness it can sometimes bring. Any chance of improvement might seem miles away. I'm Dr. Ellen Williams, and I'm here to help. I offer online psychotherapy to teens, adults, and seniors who are seeking a path towards a better life. My practice centers on addressing various challenges, including depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, panic, phobias, ADD/ADHD, women's issues, relationship issues, life transitions, and behavioral medicine.

The best gift you can give yourself and your loved ones is your own healing. At some point, we all are challenged by psychological stress and overwhelming life events. A lack of support, unhealed trauma, or emotional wounds can bring on strong feelings of anger, irritability, anxiety, depression, or mood swings. It may seem difficult to reach out for help, but counseling and therapy can play a beneficial role by providing insight and self-awareness. At Thriving Minds, you will get professional and personalized care for successful long-term recovery.

In addition to regular services, I am now accepting short-term therapy clients for issues related to anxiety, stress, or life transitions. We all have the ability to grow and to reach our fullest potential in life. However, sometimes support is needed as we navigate life’s challenges and changes. As a Counseling Psychologist operating within a multiculturally focused liberation framework, I am committed to helping my clients realize the best version of themselves while honoring their identities, culture, life experiences, and values. You matter, you are worthy of wellness, and your authentic self is enough.

I believe that everyone deserves an environment where they feel comfortable enough to discuss their beliefs and feelings without judgment. I apply several theoretical orientations such as, but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems Theory in my practice to best meet my clients' individual needs. I work on building a strong therapeutic relationship using empathy and non-judgmental, goal-oriented approaches which assist client's treatment outcome.

I hope to provide a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore, grow and learn, as they move toward greater clarity and connection in their lives and relationships. I desire that my clients would have the opportunity to work through their challenges in a collaborative and empathetic environment integrating research-based methods and a Christian worldview at the clients request.

Taking the first step in finding a therapist can be difficult. Your choice of clinicians is an essential one. The connection between you and your therapist is the foundation for therapy.

As a teen girl, you’ve been labeled ‘gifted.’ School has always come easily to you, and you’ve immersed yourself in all things creative. However, thinking about the future has always been overwhelming. It seems like you’ve been left behind when everyone else has found their stride. Your physical needs are met at home, but you feel misunderstood. It’s not just your family that doesn’t seem to understand you, but you also have trouble navigating friendships. The lack of community makes you feel isolated and depressed. That’s when you spiral; thinking you’ll always be an outcast and you’re never going to figure out how to be an adult.

Hope. I hear that so much in therapy. Is there hope? Will things get better? My answer is there will always be hope. Hope brought you to this website.

Taking the step to engage in therapy requires courage and vulnerability. As a compassionate therapist, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals seeking support.

Working from a holistic model of treatment, integrating behavioral healthcare with medical care, art, yoga, animals and the natural world is my specialty. The client that is tired of being tired and unfulfilled or tired of being sick and tired and wants a real relationship that goes beyond "tell me how you feel today" is the person who will enjoy working with me. I utilize evidence-based treatment strategies but combine them in dynamic and engaging ways that make it possible for clients to heal body, mind and spirit while learning critical relationship skills with humans and the natural world.
