What a great day for change! I would be so honored to have the opportunity to work in partnership with you in overcoming life's hurdles. My practice is geared towards working with those who battle depression, severe anxiety, compulsive disorders and/or tendencies. I also work with young professionals and millennial women that are struggling with balancing their career and personal goals. I completely understand the difficulty in deciding to seek help and I'm so happy that you've made the choice to feel better! Let's work together to address your needs, obstacles, and achieve your goals, together.

Sometimes life can throw roadblocks in front of us. These can come in the form of broken relationships, stressful life transitions, family conflict, societal expectations we can't possibly live up to, and even structural oppression. These blocks can cause us to feel doubt and anxiety and depression which can prevent us from living life as our most authentic selves; something I think we all have an innate desire to do.

I believe that healing begins when we choose to show up honestly before the face of another. It is only through courageously exploring our experiences of pain that we are able to break free from old patterns and start on a new path towards wholeness. My desire in the counseling room is to create a safe space for clients to show up with their untold stories, no matter how scary or painful.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Our next workshop - August 14th & 15th - will be ONLINE! HMT Couples Workshops are a transformational 2 day workshop where couples learn how to move out of negative cycles that keep them stuck and disconnected, reconnect hearts, and heal old injuries, Based on the most powerful approach in couples therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy is a proven way to help identify the destructive, wounding cycle that keep couples stuck in frustration and pain, and instead allows them to experience deeper intimacy and joy. The workshop truly is that powerful!

It takes courage to address the loneliness, heartache, fear and confusion we face as humans. I offer space for a person to untangle their hurt and confusion and address their messy emotions. I believe our stories matter. Our life experiences shape us. No one escapes suffering. Life is hard. Everyone has experienced a broken heart and shattered dreams. Experiences of abuse, rejection, and trauma contort the soul. Our soul responds to self, God and others with these contorted relational patterns that connect or sabotage relationships. Soul contortions are addressed with compassion and respect as we journey towards restoration.

Josh and Mindy counsel individuals, couples, and families. As husband and wife they often see clients together. The Bales consider themselves wounded healers, offering counsel from their own experiences of brokenness and redemption. They believe that personal growth and healthy relationships require hard work, sincere grief, and profound laughter. They specialize in marital and premarital counseling, family conflict, anxiety, stress, depression, anger management, emotion regulation, identity, body image, self-assertion, masculinity and men's issues, femininity and women's issues, work with artists and creative personality types, and work with men and women in professional clergy/ministry vocations.

First, I just want to say that taking the first step to find a therapist is incredible. This is an exciting moment. Contacting a counselor can sometimes be a little intimidating (I know from experience!) but I want to reassure you that it is the start to an amazing journey. As your counselor I will be there to support you as you overcome challenges, change harmful habits or behaviors, and heal from the past/present. I work to provide a positive, safe, and peaceful environment for my clients. I welcome humor, honesty, and authenticity as you move towards your unique goals.

My mission is to assist others with becoming better versions of themselves by helping explore within to find their inner strengths. When we allow inner strengths to shine we can change ourselves for the better, overcome obstacles and be who we were meant to be. Whether it's facing your difficult past or planning your bright future, I'm here to help. I greatly value the therapeutic relationship. Once this relationship has been established, the individual can feel comfortable to address more personal issues in a confidential and respectful environment. I assist with teaching the tools needed to manage thoughts which will then manage behaviors.

My clients are people who want to move from feeling "stuck" to having a greater sense of purpose, empowerment and clarity. I am passionate about working with young adults, adults, and couples from all backgrounds. I am equipped to work with a variety of challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, stress, adjustment issues, faith, and LGBTQ+ issues.

Let’s be honest, life is nowhere near as perfect and easy as Brene Brown and Glennon Doyle said it would be, especially in 2020. It’s been a year of “shoulds” and shame: I should be productive, I should be a better mom, I should be dating someone or at least trying to, I should be working on my body… But the truth is, it’s just not that easy and it’s frustrating and absolutely exhausting!

Are you not where you thought you be at this point in your life? Are your relationships not what you signed up for? Do feel outpaced by your emotions or flooded with anxiety? Do you spend way too much time with background anxiety or looping thoughts? Do you feel paralyzed to move forward? It may be time to reach out for professional counseling. I work collaboratively and compassionately in order to activate your strengths and internal resources. I work in a real world way that ignites your ability to move forward as an agent of change in your own life.

Life is challenging. There are times when we may be grappling with difficult emotions or circumstances. Having a trained professional to share those thoughts and feelings with can be a tremendously helpful resource as you meet life’s challenges and find your way through them. As a therapist, I know some things may be hard to talk about, so my initial focus is creating a safe place in which you can share your experiences. With a spirit of compassion and nonjudgement, I partner with you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and relationships to find where you are getting stuck and work together to overcome those obstacles.

Prior to joining Maitland Psychology, I completed a 1,000-hour internship at Orlando Health on the inpatient rehabilitation floor addressing cognitive, emotional, psychosocial, & behavioral abilities in English and Spanish. In addition to working in inpatient rehabilitation, I have clinical experience from involvement at renowned brain injury clinics, behavioral health facilities, and communication disorders clinics. I have received specialized training in adjustment to disability, family therapy following traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, aphasia, chronic pain, trauma (PTSD), anxiety, and depression.

Many people take a long time to make the decision to enter treatment, and are not sure what to expect when they get here. What you will find is a relaxed, judgement-free zone where we can explore and work through what you want to change about your life. I have many years of experience with those managing serious mental health issues as well as those facing unusual life challenges. My many years of both clinical and graduate level teaching experience have taught me that there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution for any of my clients. We'll discuss options and do the work together. Let's talk about it!

It is a real joy to come alongside my clients to help them make genuine and lasting changes to their lives. I think my life experiences, both success and failures, are what I pull from the most to help my clients get where they need to be. Whether you just need one session or possibly many more I'd encourage you to make an appointment today.

My goal as a therapist is to help my clients, who are in a major life transition or crisis, find peace and clarity using cognitive behavioral modalities with an emphasis on holistic restructuring in order to achieve optimal psychological functioning. I have over 20 years of experience with helping a variety of individuals heal, learn about themselves, and change. I believe that psychotherapy can be an empowering and life changing process.

I have comfort and experience seeing a wide variety of clients. From my experiences teaching high school and working with teenagers, to my time working at the Orlando Health Cancer Center seeing patients as old as 85, I seek to help anyone achieve their goals. I can help clients work through life change, depression, anxiety, and more. Specifically, I want to help clients find more meaning out of their lives each day, as well as increase a confidence and understanding in who that client is an individual. These factors increase resilience which make us more likely to face whatever challenges come our way in life.

Seeking therapy means acknowledging that life isn't just what we'd like, and finding hope that the future can be better. I serve my clients with compassion and authenticity. Through therapy, we will collaborate to find therapy goals and identify scientifically supported strategies to accomplish your goals. People who complete psychotherapy are happier in relationships and more satisfied with their lives. I am proud to be a part of that transition for my patients.

I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they explore their story, and believe that just as we are wounded in relationship, rich healing can happen in the context of safe, trusting relationship. It takes humility and courage to be curious with how you have been impacted by others, and how that influences how you in turn relate to those around you.
