Anxiety Therapists in Venice, FL

For both children and adults, challenges can create anxiety , frustration, depression, and the feeling there is no way out. I offer a place of safety and support where you can freely process emotions and thoughts, come to a deeper understanding of yourself, and find ways to get yourself unstuck. Together, we look at self-defeating patterns and seek to understand their source. It is my goal to connect with clients regardless of where they may be in their experience. I partner with and hold space for clients of all ages, assisting them in finding their own internal strength and discovering practical solutions to challenges they face.

It is my goal to assist clients in recognizing and maximizing their strengths so that they can experience more enjoyment in their lives. By providing a safe, supportive and understanding environment I am able to help my clients in making healthy changes. I truly enjoy collaborating with clients to address areas of concern and to facilitate growth. My approach to therapy is non-traditional, solution focused and very effective. Therapy is individualized to the client's needs and goals. I work in both short-term and long-term milieu depending on the client's preferences and needs.

My areas of expertise include issues of substance abuse, anxiety , depression, anxiety , and PTSD. I have a Body, Mind, Spirit approach, where I help clients connect within themselves to find the underlying issues that are creating problems in their lives, then help clients learn to identify the thought patterns that can cause dysfunction and develop strategies to lead happier and healthier lives.

Anxious, overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted. This is what it feels like to be constantly overthinking situations, which leave you feeling disconnected from your true self. Whether it's school, work or your relationships, you are feeling fearful, on edge, or irritable, no matter what you do. You might not even recall a time where things didn’t feel this way. What you do know is that you are searching for change and relief. You are ready to learn how to manage these difficult thoughts and emotions. You are ready to find joy, feel confident, and worry free. You are ready to focus on you.

Hi. I am a telehealth provider licensed and practicing in Florida and Louisiana. Deciding to seek out therapy can be anxiety provoking. I create a comfortable and non-judgmental atmosphere while working collaboratively with individuals to explore goals, seek solutions, and gain insights. I have over 20 years of experience working with adults in individual counseling and group settings. I start where you are and together we work toward the goals you define for yourself and your life.

For more than 20 years I’ve helped teens and adults navigate anxiety , depression, grief and trauma in healthy healing and productive ways. I bring an understanding of trauma, grief, depression and anxiety and how they can play out in negative ways in everyday life. I bring 25+ years of working with the LGBTQIA+ community helping folks celebrate who they are while at the same time acknowledging the stress and unique family factors this amazing community deals with on a daily basis. Having run a grief group for over 10 years, I have a deep understanding of loss and the individuality of each person's journey.

Often, we seek support simply because we are souls in need of novel ways to protect ourselves in a world that does not always honor the sensitive, unique, or creative. I skillfully and empathically align with such souls. I have decades of experience and proven approaches to empower individuals challenged with anxiety , depression, relationship struggles or existential fatigue resulting from being a highly sensitive or creative person who has lacked the necessary collaboration to gain greater self-understanding, expression, and actualization. Together, we can create a life that works for you! Not just surviving, but thriving!

ADULTS-We have all learned ways to survive this lifetime, including you. I know you are a survivor because you are reading this...but wouldn't life be better if you were thriving? Life can be overwhelming due to past events resurfacing, worry, anger, relationship issues, or difficult parent-child interactions. You can continue to survive these events...after all you've gotten this far, or you can learn to address these issues and ultimately thrive. I believe through the course of a positive relationship, therapeutic interventions, and a client's self determination, change can occur to help reach your goals.

It can feel isolating to be overwhelmed with racing thoughts, worry, and self-doubt. We can work to find relief from anxiety , low self-esteem, and life challenges that have began to negatively impact relationships, confidence, happiness, and mood. You can find new ways to approach life more calmly and confidently, live with peace and fulfillment, knowing your own worth and strengths.

As a committed Christian, I can tell you that we are not exempt from trouble. Sometimes the troubles and losses we experience can cause anxiety , stress, depression, hopelessness and despair. If you experience these things, the wise and courageous thing to do is to ask for help. My counseling style is supportive and compassionate, yet challenging when necessary. If you choose to work with me, I will integrate our Christian faith and value system along with evidence-based treatment strategies to help you move from hopelessness toward freedom and healing.

Whether you are dealing with overwhelming anxiety , depression, parenting challenges, or career difficulties, I am here to help. As a mom with two young boys, I understand that life can be chaotic! One of my goals as your therapist is to help you focus on yourself in the midst of the chaos. Along with learning strategies to cope with current stressors, processing past experiences can also bring healing and peace. Therapy goals can include building healthy thought patterns, achieving work-life balance, improving relationships, focusing on family life, building self-esteem, setting healthy boundaries, among others.

I worked with adults for the past 30 years who may be experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety , struggling through a developmental transition, those who have had a recent loss and need to grieve, or those having problems in their relationships with their partners. My areas of expertise include: Trauma Resolution-EMDR Trained, Sex Therapy-Qualified Therapist State of Florida.

Understanding the whole person is of utmost importance. I am empowered to help people deal with and find relief for life's hurts. I help find the unique solutions to encourage health, happiness and well-being. I do this through a deep sense of understanding, compassion and personal experience. Over the past twenty years as an educator, pastor, businessman and counselor, I have helped many people in their pursuit of healing and wholeness. These experiences have not only provided me with a greater understanding of people's needs, but they also have helped me develop solid solutions for professional treatment.

I most effectively treat persons who have one or more of the following symptoms, and/or issues: depression; anxiety ; marital, family, or other relationship problems. I also have expertise in the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and geriatric mental health issues, including end of life issues. I help persons who are functioning relatively well, but want to increase ability to establish and attain goals; and increase their capacity for happiness and fulfillment in life. I specialize in empowering individuals in their quest for more satisfying romantic, social, and work relationships.

Relationships, careers, and retirement dreams cannot thrive when you are hurting. I work with adults, both individuals and couples, to treat grief, anxiety , depression and difficult life transitions (retirement, divorce, relocation, illness, end-of-life issues), as well as communication and sexual functioning. Some clients are anxious to free themselves from nagging issues of the past, while others struggle to discern the best path for their future. I support couples who want to increase intimacy, and I help couples who have already decided to separate to do so as respectfully as possible.

The season is changing and still nothing’s changed. Every morning is the same. The alarm goes off and you hit the snooze button over and over, before finally tumbling out of bed. Why? Because facing the day is drudgery. You get all the necessary tasks done, but without enthusiasm, connection, or joy. The panic and fear are just icing on the cake. That voice in your head tells you, “Don’t bother you’ll never measure up.” No one knows how hard it is to keep going. It doesn’t feel safe to tell them. Where did the voice come from? When did it start? Too long ago to remember. One thing’s for sure – nothing you’ve tried has worked.

Eliminate conflict, anxiety and depression more quickly when you engage your subconscious mind in the process of positive and rapid change. Activate new ways of thinking and coping to get more of what you want in life! Learn how previous experiences have influenced your choices until now, and begin to make the changes you want immediately. My approach is caring and supportive. As you clarify your goals and move towards attaining them, you will become more aware of your own strengths and options moving forward.

Are fear, anxiety or traumatic experiences keeping you from achieving the happiness and success that you want?" Do you suffer from excessive worry, fear, anxiety or traumatic stress?" I have helped many people overcome these types of problems to live happier and more fulfilling lives and welcome the opportunity to help you identify and overcome your obstacles so that you can live the more fulfilling life that you deserve.
