Couples Counseling Therapists in Saint Augustine, FL

Do you find yourself dissatisfied with life? Are your children, relationships and career overwhelming? As a therapist, mom and wife I have valuable experience and perspective on issues that cause distress in individuals and families. Together we will build upon your personal strengths and enhance your ability to navigate life transitions and hardships.

Connection is hard. It requires a level of vulnerability that opens us up to the very pain we’ve been trying to avoid. The thing about connection though, is that it is vital to every person’s emotional, sexual, and mental well-being. We can’t understand ourselves or feel close to others without it. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Sex Therapist, I offer a safe, honest, and affirming environment where you can feel comfortable exploring whatever holds you back from connecting with yourself and others. With you in the driver's seat, I can help you move towards a more fulfilling and integrated life.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adults individually, in couples counseling , and in family therapy. I specialize in treating women's issues and life adjustments centered around women, mothers, divorce, relationships, and single parents. I also treat anxiety and depressive disorders.

Taking the step to seek counseling requires courage and vulnerability, and I feel privileged to be considered as a partner in your healing journey. Hi, my name is Heather, and welcome! I have a deep passion for counseling, specializing in supporting individuals who are processing and recovering from trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress.

Complicated relationships are my specialty. I work with partners, parents, adolescents, and families and am passionate about helping my clients create the lives and relationships they desire. Together, we define what success means to you and then formulate a plan that allows you to achieve that success. As a social worker in the public school system, I developed an affinity for working with adolescents. My practice has expanded to serve couples and families, helping to create stronger parents, partners, employees, and family systems.

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.

As a therapist, I strive to help my clients find healthy, balanced lives. No matter their background, I invest in my clients' well-being, partnering with them through open, non-judgmental counseling. I empower my clients by helping them understand that self-acceptance, self-care and ultimately, self-love are the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.

I offer telehealth/virtual visits for United Healthcare/Optum, Cigna, Tricare, & private pay clients. I can help you learn the coping skills to address your personal & relationship issues including: anxiety, depression, self esteem, marital communication & conflict resolution, parenting skills, and trauma & abuse. In addition to being skilled in the "talking therapies" I am a certified hypnotherapist. .

When you start to notice that you aren't feeling well or your mental health isn't where you would like for it to be, it can be hard to figure out which direction to go in or what will help. It can feel overwhelming to share your story with someone new and to dig further into the things that you may be avoiding. It can help to work with a therapist that considers these feelings and works with you at a comfortable pace. My approach is to focus on the quality of the relationship I have with my clients in a positive and conversational way while also taking the time to understand their experiences and perspective.

I am so glad you are here! I work from a person-centered approach to assist my client in finding their desire to break down the challenges that need to be addressed and to empower each and every person to find their courage to believe in their worth and, their strength. This means our work together will be conversation based. There are techniques and approaches that won’t feel like you are being put under a microscope, but hopefully validated and heard. My goal is to help others think outside the typical, to be creative and see things and obstacles from a different perspective.

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.

Reaching out for help is a big step. Would you like to make positive changes but are having difficulty following through? Do you have negative and self-defeating thoughts causing problems in your life? I believe you are the expert on your life and I have the psychological background for us to work as a team. I use an eclectic approach including the therapeutic relationship with a positive focus on the individual and the changes to be made. Therapy is nonjudgmental, positive, and accepting of all people.

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.

Hi there, I'm Hayne. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing both in-person and Telehealth sessions. For 20 years, I've loved working with every angle of the family. If you looked at my schedule on any given day, you'd probably see a few married couples , some exhausted and burnt-out parents, a college student, a 4th-12th grader, someone having an affair, someone who has been crushed by a loss or a person who is wrestling through their attraction to the same gender. I often find that a person's willingness to come in and simply talk about things creates at least 50% of the change they are looking for.

I feel it is a privilege to be invited into someone's life journey and I always intend to treat people with respect and compassion. I feel I am gifted with an ability to understand people, due to experience and being fully present and focused. Our sessions move quickly and dynamically, with an emphasis on insight and then transformational goals. To reach wholeness and happiness, we need to consider the mind, body and spirit. Health and wellness, as well as a client's belief system are especially intriguing to me: " If you argue for your limitations, you get to keep them"

Truth be told, counseling is beneficial to EVERYONE. Relationships. Children. Single Parents. Teenagers. Young Adults. EVERYONE. My greatest reward as a therapist is helping clients make positive changes and gain personal success in their lives. I offer a warm, relaxed environment that allows you to discuss a range of thoughts and feelings as well as to explore possible options or solutions for your life.

Are you struggling with relationships? Trauma? Depression or anxiety? Stress management? Unhealthy substance use? Counseling might seem scary and intimidating, but with the right therapist it can be life changing. I have been working with people for over fifteen years, helping them through life's challenges. I understand the importance of personalizing the counseling experience to the individual. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Certified Addiction Professional. My goal is always to help you achieve your goals, and I am honored to be part of the change process.
