Spirituality Therapists in Saint Petersburg, FL

My main specialty area is Jungian therapy, as it intersects with spirituality and myth. Before conducting therapy, my first profession was teaching. I taught at the University of South Florida, and Jungian psychology was integrated in with my teaching of Comparative Religion. This was also a focal point for me in grad school. I have studied and researched it on a personal level since the 90's, so for 25-30 yrs. In life, we follow certain rituals and/or myths. Sometimes those prescriptions need to be revised to find wholeness; other times, we need to rewrite the script & create new ones. I'd be honored to support you on your journey.

The 'ideal client' for counseling is someone who is sick & tired of being sick & tired. They are ready for change & peace of mind and ready to see their part in problems. Through counseling and consultation, they can acquire skills to think, feel and behave differently in situations and relationships for better outcomes. Self respect, self worth and esteem get better. Clients notice they feel lighter. There is an overall increased sense of well being. They are increasingly able to do the next right thing while avoiding falling down the rabbit hole of old patterns which initially brought them into counseling.

We specialize in individual & couples therapy. The answers are within and will unfold in the warm, empathy filled environment where a client centered focus is key. Developing coping skills to manage symptoms of Depression, Anxiety and PTSD are key components to therapy, too. We also offer Rapid Trauma Resolution Therapy/IQ & personality testing so parents/individuals may gain a deeper understanding of child-teens and/or self to guide in better life decision making for goals and problem solving. Emotional Support Animal letters are available. Career-Identity- Spirituality concerns are also areas we may assist with.

I have over 10 years of experience serving adults seeking help with depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, spirituality , addictions and relationship issues.

We are all born into this world with challenges. Maybe you were abused, neglected, or traumatized as a child. Or perhaps you grew up with parents who were unable to parent properly due to alcoholism, substance use, or depression. Maybe you experienced divorce, heartache, grief, and loss. We, as humans, all share the desire to feel whole, stable, happy, and unconditionally loved. But you can only get there by healing and letting go of the past. I can help you.

Hello! I’ll keep it short and simple – I love working with women, couples, veterans, infants, children, tweens, teens, and young adults – especially on issues like self-worth, relationships, anxiety, trauma, parenting, and faith/ spirituality . As an educator, professional, volunteer, and counselor I have diverse experiences working with people. My credentials include Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health, Licensed Professional Counselor (Georgia), Nationally Certified Counseling, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

There are times in our lives when we find ourselves "stuck" and/or feeling like we are wading through quicksand to move forward. Our situations appear hopeless and sometimes overwhelming. They can be due to difficulties beyond our control, unresolved issues from our past that have resurfaced, or the consequence of wrong choices. We seek alternative methods for looking at ourselves, managing our situations, as well as the outside influences in our lives, but we don't know how to access them. We need someone to help us discover who we have become and how to move forward in a healthy manner mentally, spiritually, and physically.

When we feel overwhelmed, depressed, or stagnant it can be difficult to reach out. When we feel lost in our relationships, our careers, or question our purpose in life, we may not feel satisfied or content. If we think our loved ones don't understand us, or we’re afraid to open up to them, we may become isolated and lonely. If we catch ourselves in addictive cycles or patterns, we feel defeated because nothing we’ve tried seems to be working. Maybe we battle with anxiety and depression; unable to get out of bed. If only we could learn a different way. If this resonates with you, there is a way through.

*Immediate openings available via Telehealth* You are in a life transition—visible or invisible—that is asking you to reassess. You look like you’re holding it together—but feel like you’re falling apart. Your past sneaks up on you in ways that you can’t ignore, or the future you planned is no longer possible. You feel like a stranger to yourself and others, and the life that you built no longer fits you. You want to connect with loved ones, but there are walls. These experiences can be downright excruciating. They’re also part of what makes you human, and counseling can help you navigate.

Are you feeling disconnected, imbalanced, or as though there are certain blockages holding you back? Are you looking to let go of what is no longer serving you and be guided towards more inner strength, safety, connection and sacredness? I believe you have come across my page for a reason, and that reason is to create a more meaningful life. One that is full of honoring your inner sense of knowing, finding authentic connections, and following your heart center. You are searching to be more centered, grounded, and present, in order to have a deeper connection to yourself & the world around you.

As a mental health & wellness counselor, doctor of naturopathic medicine, neuro-feedback trainer, life coach, sound therapist, mindfulness teacher/facilitator, & nutrition consultant I treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I help individuals transform their mental & physical health holistically, through natural & whole person therapies. I truly believe that there are many avenues to personal growth & success, therefore personal wellness should be an enjoyable, individualized, & affordable process. This is why I offer a wide range of natural, self-healing, sustainable, modalities that address both mental & physical health.

I offer a practical approach to provide support and guidance to clients. Whether it is urgent life stressors, relationship challenges, family issues, or trauma there is always a way to shine some light. While a large part of my practice is working with clients using talk therapy, I am also a trauma expert trained in EMDR as well as ART. These techniques allow me to help clients become unstuck from habitual reactive states that often create havoc in relationships and other important areas of life.

Overwhelmed? At a loss? Just need an ear? I'm Aaron, a Marriage and Family Therapist here in the Sunshine State who is open, inclusive, and supportive of all. I am trained in highly diverse relationships and life styles. As such, I firmly believe that all people are people, all love is love, and should be supported with the same gusto. While I have a wide range of experience working with various ages and diagnoses, I currently specialize in relational counseling (couples, pods, open, monogamous, etc.), LGBTQIA+ individuals, and adoptive families. My goal is to help all people grow personally and relationally to live a thriving life.

People enter my therapy practice for all sorts of reasons. You may be at an impasse or a crossroads due to the loss of a relationship, a big life decision or general anxiety that you can no longer bear on your own. You may be suffering from the wounds of homophobia, transphobia, racism, white supremacy and patriarchy, on top of other traumas and early childhood wounds. Regardless, I seek to offer a safe space for you to access a deeper understanding of yourself and your underlying needs and motives, as well as a personal sense of freedom and empowerment.

These are difficult times. Anxiety can have a life of its own. Providing better help through online Telehealth is a 15 year specialty in my 36 year career. So many "what ifs" are a reality in many lives. What does one do when anxiety, stress and panic hit? Change from what was normal to the "now normal" can bring reactivity and stress. I offer online therapy helping clients understand their lives and the roots of their personal anxiety & stress. I provide a safe place and skills that create “breathing room” to help people break free from the grips of their anxiety, frustration, and personal and relational stress.
