Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Palm Harbor, FL

I believe effective therapy starts with developing strong empathy as the foundation for establishing our therapeutic agenda and working with you to determine the tools you find most helpful in resolving problems. I provide a brief, well researched mood survey at the beginning and end of initial sessions & you evaluate me & our therapy session so I can learn how to work better with you. Getting feedback after a session helps me to understand you better and that expedites treatment. I will teach you very powerful tools to use in changing how you feel in a very short period. Therapy can be effective in weeks instead of months

Life can be a real challenge: stress, arguments, impatience, thoughts of divorce, feeling disconnected, depressed, anxious..... It can be hard knowing what direction to take, where to draw the line with others, and how not to be used or abused in the process. Some people need a long-term therapist to work through deep and enduring problems while others may want to check-in for only a session or two to keep in psychological shape. Your goals for happiness, sorting through a decision, reducing your anxiety, or just figuring out what is wrong are equally important to me in working with you.

My practice is generally focused on adolescents and young adults. Adolescence is a time of constant growth, of which can often be coupled with fear and feelings of inadequacy. It is normal for adolescents to seek autonomy and gain independence but they may feel uncertain about their ability to do so. External pressures and responsibilities can increase feelings of anxiety and depression. In addition, the current trend of social isolation can intensify negative feelings. A trusted mental health counselor can assist such children in developing effective communication and coping strategies.
