Teen Therapists in Saint Augustine, FL

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Qualified Clinical Supervisor, and owner of Storybook Counseling. I empower women in their journey of self discovery and healing. I specialize in helping women and teen girls who feel held back by anxiety, low self-esteem, mood swings, procrastination, obsessions/compulsions and self doubt.

I enjoy collaborating with my clients on how they can reach the overall wellness goals. My approach to wellness recovery is direct, supportive and empowering. I help clients develop insight into the changes needed to improve the way they think and feel. My ideal client is someone motivated to make changes but needs direction on how to do so. Many of the people I have worked with have struggled with relationship issues, grief, addiction, depression, anxiety and life transitions.

Life is hard. We all, everyone of us, need help along the way. Perhaps you need help understanding and managing your emotions; overcoming anxiety or depression; building and maintaining healthy boundaries and relationships; healing from past hurts or traumas; dealing with feelings of inadequacy, shame or rejection; forgiving yourself and others. Perhaps you are a parent in need of help understanding and supporting a struggling child; communicating with your teenager or young adult; learning and using skills and tools to navigate these relationships.

There is no worse feeling than seeing someone you care about have trouble making friends, struggling in school, have problems eating, acting out, or being stuck in negative thoughts. Wherever they are, the stress, anxiety, body-shame, sadness or low self-esteem they experience is a pain that affects not only them, but the people that care about them. Despite your best efforts, no amount of talking, reasoning, rationalizing or problem-solving seems to help. Adolescent , teenage, and young adults years should be a time of growth, exploration, transformation and fun, not worry and self-doubt.

Are you ready to change your relationship with food? We provide compassionate nutrition counseling with tools tailored to the individual needs of each client. We strive to empower others to reconnect with themselves, free themselves from dieting, and achieve optimal health and well-being.

It would be a privilege to assist you on your journey of self-discovery. I am an eclectic therapist which means your experience will be tailored to suit your specific needs. I utilize several therapeutic modalities including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Client-Centered and Solution Focused.

When you or your teen are feeling scared, depressed, angry, or like you just don’t fit in, it can be really challenging. Reaching out for help can be difficult, but it is the first step on the path toward healing. I aim to provide a warm, inviting environment in which you feel comfortable teaching me about you. By collaborating with you, I will help you develop the tools and skills you need to solve your problems now, and to solve them as they come in the future.

Navigating parenthood can be hard & sometimes we need extra support. If you are feeling overwhelmed or watching your child struggle with things such as anxiety, fear, anger, big emotions, tantrums, big transitions, & difficult behaviors, you’ve come to the right place. I work with children of all ages & their grown-ups, utilizing a collaborative play-based approach to healing. I am passionate about family work & utilizing the therapeutic powers of play to help children naturally work through their problems. Play is the “language” in which children communicate in a non-threatening way. Just as adults "talk" it out, children play.

You know that everyone worries, everyone has stress…but how much is too much? Ultimately, you decide what you can handle, but overwhelming worry doesn’t have to be part of your daily life. If you feel “stressed out,” have friends tell you that you’re a “worrier,” or you have fears that are ruining your ability to experience a moment’s rest….therapy can help. I invite you to call me for a free no-strings-attached 15-min phone consult so you can ask questions and get to know me before you decide.

Feeling stagnant, lacking purpose, enjoyment and fulfillment? Or maybe previous trauma or experiences are blocking you from success and happiness? I seek to help clients that are lacking connection, overall life dissatisfaction and belonging. Some of us might have negative core beliefs or life scripts that aren't helping us live the life we want. Focusing on your strengths and abilities, I help to unblock and uncover the life you want for yourself.

I work with adults and adolescents, assisting them in developing coping skills for issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, grief, body image and relationship issues.

Life can have twists and bumps along the way. As a caring professional working in the behavioral health field for over 15 years I can assist you in the development or refining coping skills so you can continue with quality in activities of daily living. Working with a variety of clients (children, teenagers and adults) I have found that one size does not fit all in behavioral health. I work with my clients to develop a plan that will best suit their needs. It is important that the individual meet their needs. Together we can work as a team to reach your goal.

I believe in being all you can be using a holistic approach to have peace and harmony in your life. I specialize in trauma and anxiety, couples and family therapy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR therapy which has been proven to be the therapy of choice to overcome trauma and anxiety and to achieve letting go of disturbing memories and issues from the past that may have held you back from moving forward in your life. I am also an advanced hypnotherapist and have helped many people achieve success in areas such as stopping smoking, weight loss and phobias.

I would like to help you or your family member address issues that may be causing emotional and mental distress. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable and confidential setting where you can restore a sense of balance and create a more fulfilling life.

I'm dedicated to supporting your child's social, emotional, intellectual, and behavioral development by focusing on using evidence-based services so that your child receives the best care possible. I strive to communicate openly with family members and to collaborate with other professionals including teachers and pediatricians so that all of your child's needs are met.

I feel it is a privilege to work with individuals and families on their journey to wellness. Clients have shared with me that I'm relaxed, warm, and easy to talk to. Therapy is an important decision and most effective when we work together to create change in your life. I find that for most of us, life can present very difficult issues. In a safe and trusting environment, I believe we can explore our pain and challenges and recognize our resilience.

I am currently accepting clients aged 9-young adult for counseling. I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, life changes, school issues, and anger management. I also offer specialty programs for athlete performance anxiety and academic/test anxiety. I utilize a CBT approach to counseling. I would love to work with you or your child! I see clients Monday-Thursday between 12-8 pm.
