Stress Therapists in Southpoint, Jacksonville, FL

So, you’re thinking about therapy… It takes courage to ask for help. When we experience something that has caused distress, threatens our life or our well-being it can be difficult to think clearly to make healthy choices for ourselves. Therapy allows you to talk about all of the negative thoughts and feelings that are left over.

Accepting new clients with availability in April 2024. Are you ready to make a change? My goal is to provide support, empathy, and accountability to help you on your path to a more satisfying life. You are stronger that you may realize. If you are ready to make a change and begin unlocking your amazing potential, send me an email or call me! I offer both face-to-face and telehealth sessions.

My ideal client is a first responder, perhaps a firefighter or emergency personnel, grappling with the emotional aftermath of traumatic events they've encountered in the line of duty. They're dealing with complex feelings, possibly stemming from a devastating incident or the loss of a colleague. Their needs revolve around navigating these emotions, seeking understanding, and finding coping mechanisms. Their primary goal is to achieve mental and emotional equilibrium, ensuring they can continue serving their community effectively. They desire a safe space to discuss their experiences, hoping to overcome the prevailing stigma.

Have you experienced difficult events, some beyond your control? Perhaps you struggle adjusting to "new norms" in your life, endure panic attacks, or have to force yourself to face each day. At some point, most of us are affected by traumatic events. Complex grief; abuse; military combat; abandonment; assault; chronic pain; and divorce are just a few examples. These experiences can leave us depressed, anxious, fearful or battling post-traumatic stress. They can leave us exhausted without the strength or resources to manage them.

In person, office sessions. Over 25 years of experience, along with many certifications, including Certified ADHD provider. Goal & result oriented practice (read: fast improvement so you don’t have to wake up every day feeling dread).

Have you ever had the feeling that you have been living your life on autopilot, then you look around and think, “how did I get here?” Perhaps this thought spirals into depression for lost time, poor choices, and/or missed opportunities. Maybe anxiety settles into your chest with this depression, causing crippling indecision. The weirdly good news is that you are not alone in these thoughts and feelings, and there IS something you can do about it. Nearly every person experiences some form of trauma in their lives, and most are ill-equipped to move forward functionally with the aftermath.

Happy to announce I am now seeing couples online and virtually! We all go through times in our lives when therapy can help us to cope with the difficulties that arise. You are not alone. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed or just stuck. You feel like you have tried everything and you are looking for a new way to improve your situation. Perhaps your child has experienced an upsetting event and you don't want this to define them. It hurts to see the people we love upset or struggling. I can offer the tools, skills, and support for your journey.

You may find yourself here, feeling completely disconnected and distant from your partner. They're the person you used to tell everything to, who used to bring butterflies to your stomach; but you’re sitting back, looking at your relationship now, wondering how you two got here. Your once soul-mate has somehow become nothing more than your roommate - going through the motions to get through another day. You’re tired of the fighting, of the eye-rolls, but most of all, tired of the silence. You feel like you’ve tried everything.

Life is hard. There are constant experiences, feelings, hopes, dreams, successes, failures, and thoughts to navigate and process. Sometimes we do okay navigating life without extra help, other times we need a safe space and fresh perspective to learn, grow and heal. I am always deeply honored when someone trusts me to create that space and walk alongside them in their journey to understand themselves and the world around them. I believe that you are the expert concerning your life, and my job is to collaborate with you to help you achieve your goals and make some sense of the world and your place in it.

Marriane Williamson shared, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." Right now so many people struggle with feeling lost and in uncharted territory, my goal as a Therapist is to help my clients, find light and hope in their own path. I believe that the goal of life should not be about the destination, but the journey. It would be a privilege to help you along to way. I will meet you exactly where you are and help you discover the life you were meant to live.

Ms. Millie Sagesse, LMHC. I value each individual and have the ability to work with all individuals regardless of background, gender, and religion.

Accepting New Clients. Finding your way and your voice is a journey. Each person and each journey is unique. I focus on empowering clients to recognize their worth and build the life they desire. By assisting clients with challenging unhelpful and self defeating beliefs we can create a path for moving forward. Growth and change are possible. I am trained in accelerated resolution therapy to assist with addressing the root of issues in an impactful way.

I love to work with clients who are ready for change. I often work with survivors of trauma looking for a holistic lens to wellness. I believe in the value and strength of the human spirit and deeply enjoy helping others discover that, as well. By creating an environment that is safe and confidential, we can work toward true healing, growth, balance, and authenticity--living a life that is true to who you are.

Do you struggle saying no to others in relationships? Do you have a difficult time emotionally regulating during transition periods? Are you struggling to find yourself after a major incident? If any of these apply to you, then you are in the right place. I am a dedicated and empathetic therapist with years of experience in assisting people in reconnecting with the most authentic version of themselves. My goal as a therapist is to make sure anybody who works with me feels seen and acknowledged. I specialize in mood disorders, self esteem issues, and trauma. I utilize trauma informed CBT and EMDR as interventions in sessions.

I am working with both adolescents and adults. My theoretical orientation to counseling and psychotherapy is rooted in the philosophy of a humanistic-existential approach to human functioning. I use the tenets of individual responsibility to choice and decision-making and apply them within a cognitive-behavioral perspective (CBT) to counseling and clinical work. I consider myself a generalist with specialty training in cognitive rehabilitation, vocational/career counseling, as well as psychoeducational testing and other evaluations, such as pre-surgical evaluations (e.g., for bariatric procedures).

I enjoy helping adolescents and adults navigate a wide array of challenges, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also have a passion for serving first responders, active duty military, and veterans. I understand the intensity and challenges that come with these roles, and I believe that it is important to provide support and guidance to those that dedicate their lives to serving others in this way.
