Bisexual Therapists in Tampa, FL

I have worked in the substance abuse treatment community, both as a primary therapist and in clinical management. I have extensive experience in counseling medical and legal professionals with addictions issues, as well as people from a variety of backgrounds. I am also familiar with the unique situations faced by those associated with the military, having raised a family as a military dependent spouse. As a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist candidate. I provide individual sessions to address sexual addiction, as well as facilitate sexual recovery groups for both the addict and their partner.

I am passionate about connecting with clients and providing them with a safe and open environment where they can learn, grow, and improve themselves. I have worked with a broad range of client needs and have found that a strong foundational relationship between client and therapist is essential to creating any kind of growth. I encourage clients to shift into a positive framework and will often use humor to promote understanding. My approach to clinical work is to meet the client where they are at, so I am always open to feedback and changes as needed.

You’re feeling overwhelmed. Adulting is harder than anyone prepared you for. The person you show people has their sh-t together. In reality, you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, irritable, but you put on that “I’ve got this under control” mask. At night you try and fall asleep, but your mind won’t stop racing about all the what-ifs and to-dos. Whether it’s college courses, a new career, parenting, navigating your relationships, things are often more challenging than we imagined. You feel like you’re failing. Like you’re drowning, trying to catch your breath. Check out my website for some tips in my blogs: Danieaton.com

Life can get extremely difficult, leaving you feeling depressed, anxious, and alone. Asking for help doesn't mean you failed or that you are weak, it's quite the opposite.

I want to meet you where you are at and work collaboratively with you to meet your goals. With every client I see, I aim to instill hope, trust, self-compassion, and self-acceptance.

With over ten years of experience, I have developed a strong expertise in complex trauma and PTSD, with additional specialization in culturally responsive care. I also treat disorders such as OCD, anxiety, and depression that commonly co-occur with trauma. Additionally, I have worked in corporate environments helping people to overcome feelings of imposter syndrome, work-life balance, burnout, and relationship and identity development. This journey will include deep introspection, honest compassionate feedback, tears, and even some laughter. Through the pain, the change, and the victories, I will be there every step of the way.

As your counselor, I'll help create a safe place to explore your concerns, release shame, and empower you to make change.

This isn't just couch-sitting and reminiscing about your parents; we set goals and find your path to progress. Let's find out what's stopping you! I do a regular YouTube podcast called "Radio Counseling" if you're curious about me, or what a counselor would say about a variety of topics in psychology. I have over 1700 hours of experience in working with clients as a counselor, and more in working with people in other areas of the field, from CPS to insurance. From family to individual issues, I can probably help.

My clinical philosophy is one of a humanistic nature, with emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as the most essential building block of the counseling process. My therapeutic style is warm, interactive, attentive and compassionate. My care philosophy is not to diagnose, label or categorize but rather, to treat the whole person as an individual who is separate from their problems. I take a holistic approach to health and wellness, with emphasis on achieving balance in major life domains, and I operate with the highest degree of ethical standards of care. My ideal client is someone who believes in growth.

My goal is to help people find meaning and purpose in life, find common pathways between actions and thoughts and create a safe place to find positive solutions. Empathy, compassion and understanding help me to take a relational, non-judgmental approach to my work. I provide direct, simple and straight forward techniques of communicating that are instrumental in helping people stay grounded, focused and validated. I prefer to individualize treatment for each client by choosing the specific type of theory or therapy that meets individual, relational or family needs that target the desired outcome of therapy

Too often, we stifle our true identities and silence our voices because of external pressures and expectations, which ultimately keeps us from cultivating fulfilling lives. You deserve a space where you can be exactly who you are and become exactly who you want to be, in a way that makes you feel seen and validated. My aspiration is to be exactly the kind of therapist my generational peers and I would have needed in our teenage years: one who is solution-focused, authentic, nonjudgmental, will call you on your BS (gently!), and genuinely cares about you and your progress. (I do not treat couples or families at this time)

Hello! My name is Rachel. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker whom specializes in gender & sexuality, trauma healing utilizing EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), as well as addiction recovery, working with adolescents and adults. Coming out, transitioning, and discovering who you are may be a difficult process on its own. On top of having fear of or experiencing discrimination, harassment, prejudice, denial of rights, or family rejection. Let an unbiased expert walk with you every step of the way.

Are you tired? Does life feel heavy? Are those masks that you have worn for so long, no longer fitting? Most of us get to a certain point where being the people we thought we were and endorsing the responsibilities that we are "supposed" to uphold no longer seem to be working for us. But if all these things that we thought we were, and built a life around, are no longer fitting than who are we? My deepest excitement is working with individuals that are asking themselves these questions and wanting a change that is in alignment with who they are as opposed to who they were taught they should be.

Do your racing thoughts rarely give you a moment of peace? Do you feel judged when you try to explain to others how your past has impacted you? Someone brings up an innocuous topic and suddenly you’re crying, heart pounding, looking for an exit. You may not even know what exactly triggers you, but you’re searching for somewhere you can be yourself and feel safe. As my client, you're safe with me. There's no judgement and no unrealistic expectations when you step into my office. My mission as a therapist is to walk alongside you through whatever struggles you are facing in order to accomplish the goals that are most important to you.
