Guiding you towards self-discovery/empowerment is my method for helping you understand your own needs more clearly. By decreasing the power of barriers, you open up space for personal growth.

Traci Rhone, LMHC, CEAP. MH8902 I enjoy working with human beings from all walks of life. My strength as a therapist is in empowering others to their fullest potential. Are you ready to take that journey with me? I operate a small boutique private practice specializing in spiritual and emotional wellness. I use a variety of modalities such as meditation, hypnosis, cognitive-behavioral, psychoanalysis, cloud, existential, and gestalt therapies during the treatment process. Call me; I look forward to working with you.

Most people seek someone on the outside looking in, someone to truly listen with no judgement. Someone that is able to hold space, while we process our darkest and our brightness; where we bare it all and come to a space, where we find solace in our core with the tools needed for our daily struggles.

It takes great strength to reach out to another for help, so the one you choose must be someone you can feel free to open up with, trust, and respect. I am confident I can provide that for you! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Addictions Specialist. I have over 17 years of experience, working in a myriad of areas. Most of my experience has been working with domestic violence, addiction, depression, anxiety, and reentry. I also have experience working with people who have struggled with trauma. I feel that counseling is not to blame our past, but rather to explain our thoughts and behaviors.

Taking that initial step to begin therapy can be challenging. I offer a person-centered approach that allows you to exercise self-determination regarding your goals in treatment. I use a strength-based approach that focuses on your strengths to help empower you to achieve your personal goals. I understand that you may have a busy schedule, so I provide flexible availability to meet your needs. I am a life-long learner and value continuing education to ensure you receive evidence-based care throughout our time working together.

Hello, my name is Keith Mattson and I am a Licensed Mental Counselor in the state of Florida. I have provided therapy services in various settings for over 10 years. My specialties include life transitions and adjustment, trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use disorders, and PTSD. I utilize a mindfulness-based, solution focused, and person-centered approach, and incorporate several modalities including CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing, amongst others.

Not everyone needs a therapist, but everyone needs someone they can speak to openly and honestly without judgment. Unfortunately, not everyone has someone like this in their life that they can trust completely. Problems are only as big as our ability or inability to deal with them. By instilling confidence in one's self, learning to draw boundaries with others, and creating goals, I believe that each person can develop the skills they need to help themselves. My goal is to simply help each individual develop and cultivate these skills in order to make the changes they desire to see in their own lives.

I believe that everything in life is full of purpose and that each experience we go through can be used as a catalyst to grow. I am passionate about individual growth and diversity.

You do not have to feel stuck dealing with those difficult emotions. Emotions do not have to control your life. Life can be difficult. You may need assistance with navigating through them so that you can feel EMPOWERED to make the best decisions for you. It is Okay not to be Okay!!!!

My ideal client is driven by a deep desire for personal growth, healing, and self-discovery. They recognize that change can be challenging, but they are willing to invest time, effort, and emotional energy to achieve their desired outcomes. They want to gain insights into themselves, develop new skills, and create lasting positive changes that will improve their overall quality of life. Every individual seeking therapy is unique, and my role as a therapist is to adapt and tailor my approach to their specific needs and goals.

Life is full of messy bits, sometimes these are unforeseen issues that pop up out of our control and sometimes they are a product of our own design. Regardless, in a culture where we must present as put together, in control, etc., it gets a little hard to trudge the water. If we aren’t careful this can lead to emotional, behavioral, interpersonal, and self dysregulation. At Just Keep Swimming Counseling, LLC, and my group practice Keep Evolving Beyond Therapy, I strive to create a healthy, safe space in order to set goals for growth, face challenges, and gain introspection to be a fuller, healthier you.

I am passionate about helping people learn to help themselves. (I know that sounds corny- but it’s true!) Life can be overwhelming and often support is needed to help you recognize the strengths you’ve had all along. My goal is to help you gather tools to overcome difficult hurdles, express uncomfortable emotions, and better understand yourself. In other words, I help with managing life. I have a passion for working with survivors of sexual trauma, individuals with ADHD, and members or allies of the LGBTQ+ community. I hope to connect with a client who seeks balance in their life and wants to live to their fullest potential.
