Self Esteem Therapists in Polk County, FL
Tired of feeling stuck or repeating the same patterns without understanding why you can’t seem to break free no matter how hard you try? Sometimes all that is needed is a change in strategy. Sometimes influence from a previous or current relationship takes away the ability to trust yourself. It may feel like you’re constantly playing tug of war with yourself. Often there is shame, guilt, and other negative feelings attached. Seeking help in these situations doesn't mean you are broken or weak, but rather human. It takes courage and strength to ask for help. Be proud of yourself and know that there is hope it won’t always be this way

Being human is hard. Life with all it's twist and turns can be so confusing, what's right today is wrong tomorrow. Quite possibly you have been thinking about finding a counselor for some time and have been "fighting" societal stigma of mental health services. Telling yourself that you are fine, no one will understand, or feeling shame for needing help. One of my favorite quotes about healing is..."Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives."

One afternoon I told my wife that after another tour, I would be leaving the U.S. Coast Guard for a very different career. Serving my country and the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard is one of the greatest honors and privileges of my life. After serving for nine years I knew that directly assisting and serving people is the life-giving work of my heart. I became a Social Worker and therapist because it is my greatest joy and pleasure to support you as you unify all your strengths and gifts to release your Faith, Hope, and Love into society.

Let’s find you holistic solutions to life’s stressors. Perhaps you simply need natural ways to cope with stress, improve mood/sleep, gain energy, find work-parenting-life balance, mental clarity and focus. But you are a soul living a physical life, and likely have lost touch with this aspect of self and your purpose for being. Anxiety, depression, burnout commonly result. You may no longer resonate with your life, and need more confidence to pursue your highest dreams. Worse, completely lost, you don’t even know who you really are. You wear a mask, feel like an imposter. I can help you feel the real you, often for the first time.

Does your work and home life make you feel like you want to run away and hide? Is your life satisfaction at an all-time low? No surprise...you're stressed out, overwhelmed, anxious and seriously wondering what's the point?!?! Your digital life is a mess, all while juggling endless emails, daunting deadlines, tiresome meetings...and then faking a smile for the latest selfie. Even in the rare breakaway with your co-workers or friends, you find them judging that bald spot on the sides of your head where you're tearing your hair out over all the stress.

Are you finding it hard to cope with stress? Uncomfortable with uncertainty? Is your worry interfering with your ability to concentrate, leading to avoidance & procrastination?

Life is not going well: You're dealing with stress and anxiety from work and family. Relationships are not going well. Even spending time with family and friends seems stressful. The place that should be your sanctuary is a source of added stress. There's constant worry over upsetting your spouse. You try and keep the peace, but that only leads to more stress and discouragement. Your life has focused on giving time and energy to others, but you're getting little in return. You feel resentful and overwhelmed because you spend so much personal equity on others. You don't have the energy to keep up this lifestyle anymore.

Since I have been doing counseling/therapy for 40+ years, I am very familiar with many approaches and theories. My first step in working with a person or couples is to help them express the goal(s) they wish to achieve in seeking counseling and then work with them to either discover the skills within themselves or help them develop these skills to reach these goals and live fulfilled lives.
