Therapists in Land O Lakes, FL

As a Licensed Psychologist I provide individual therapy and career assessment and counseling. My approach is warm, sensitive, empathic and interpersonally focused. My mission is to provide an emotionally safe environment in which people can self-explore, work toward solving their problems and experience a sense of growth. I help people develop personal, interpersonal, and professional insight, become more self-accepting, and build on their strengths. I am warm, "down to earth," and genuine with an ability to challenge when appropriate in a safe and supportive way.

Hello, my name is Kelly! Have you been feeling overwhelmed or stressed lately? Maybe you’re feeling down or just not yourself. Are you having trouble maintaining relationships at work or school? Having a hard time communicating with people closest to you? Maybe you’re just struggling to balance all that life is handing you! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10+ years experience in working with providing support & counseling for children, adolescents, adults, and families that are having a challenging time with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, and just everyday stress that we all have!

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, in search of change, or trying to cope with unresolved trauma? It is difficult to ask for help but you don’t have to struggle with these issues alone. Therapy can help you work through your feelings and pain and help you heal. It takes courage to reach out for help but you can find happiness again.

Thank you for considering our couples workshop called Hold Me Tight®, a program developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, founder of Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). This event will take place on Saturday, February 10, 2024 and is located at the address listed on this page. During this workshop, you will learn from presentation, discussion, example videos, and personal exercises about how love goes wrong, and how you and your partner can make sense of the emotions in your relationship. You will also learn how to stop fighting and start connecting differently, how to heal past hurts, and how to create the relationship you’ve always wanted.

Do you feel that your child/teen has been struggling to express or manage difficult emotions? Are they worrying more than usual with school issues or friendships? Or isolating themselves or displaying a change in behavior? If you find yourself in this situation, there is help. As a therapist, my goal is to walk with my clients on their journey towards healing through compassion, communication and growth. My aim is to create a space of understanding, awareness, and change by establishing a trusting and caring relationship with individuals across the lifespan, from children to adults, to support them in reaching their goals.

THERAPY FOR ACHIEVERS- Do you constantly feel that everything must be done and done perfectly? You manage to complete tasks to the praise of others, but disservice to yourself. You constantly worry that you will let yourself or others down. You want to do everything you can to the best of your ability, but the burdens of all these things are becoming too much to bear. Perhaps even more difficult, you are beginning to notice these traits in your child. These feelings may be even further compounded by you or your child’s identity as a member of the disability community, caregiver community, or the LGBTQIA+ spectrum.

Do you feel anxious and overwhelmed all of the time? Are you struggling with moving forward? Sometimes in life we are faced with unique challenges, problematic relationships, burnout and instability. Perhaps you have tried to overcome these struggles before, without success. Whether it's in your relationship with others or in your relationship with yourself, I can help. I assist individuals in building the courage to face their fears and cope with overwhelming stress while providing a safe and welcoming environment.

Relax, Understand, Let Go and Grow.....I am an LCSW with 25 years of experience. I enjoy helping you catch your balance, rise to the occasion and surprise your self with your own personal strength. Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, Marriage, Parenting can all be very challenging. Together we work to bring the change you want. My focus is to increase your self-awareness and compassion. As you become kinder to you, unhelpful emotional patterns become visible and easier to release. Change comes in small steps, slow at first and success builds momentum.

Do you find yourself turning to unhealthy behaviors to cope? Are you lost in the throes of addiction and reckless behavior?

Do you want to feel more confident, more fulfilled, and more connected with yourself and with others? Do you want to treat yourself with more acceptance, compassion, and self-care? And, do you want to feel like you are living more grounded in the present moment? Sometimes, our past hurts and traumas can affect how we see ourselves, other people, and the world around us. They can affect our thoughts, feelings, and actions. And, they can cause us to act in ways that hurt the ones we love and go against our values, morals, and principles. We all want a life of meaning and purpose. I can help you achieve this.

Life can be confusing and feel overwhelming when we have difficulty making sense of it. When you are feeling overwhelmed and boggled down, taking a step back and identifying patterns and stories in our lives helps us to learn who we are and where we want to be. Taking time to look at the big picture gives us the space to adjust our own image. I want you to bring all of your pieces to my office and we will sort through it together. Reimagine your world with a new perspective and strategies to set boundaries, self-care, and be your optimal self.

Have you been taken captive by your mind? Do you find yourself lost in thought, wasting countless hours trying to control the future or fix the past? Do you overanalyze things to death with no resolve? Do certain thoughts strike you with fear (or even shame)? Do you freeze under pressure? Or maybe even avoid situations that could bring on the crushing blow of failure? Around others, do you spend more time in your head than connecting? Do you often worry about the impression you make on others? What masks do you wear to keep others at a distance, so they won't see the real you? Has your mind become your prison cell and you want out?
