Buddhist Therapists in Wesley Chapel, FL

All of a sudden, challenges in your life left you feeling overwhelmed or hopeless. You are not sure when it started. Maybe it began when you felt stagnation in your career, or a horrible fight with your loved one. You are worried about spiraling into anxiety or depression. You have spent months trying to keep it together, but it's exhausting and you are tired of losing your sleep. Well, not anymore. I can help you regain control of your life.

Hi! I'm Dr. Kenya L. King, PhD, Psychologist & Owner of Aya Psych Wellness, LLC. A native New Yorker, with a sprinkle of Caribbean influence, I have extensive clinical experience working with teens, adults, & families. "Aya", or ferns are known for resiliency and capacity to flourish even in difficult circumstances. The word "aya" is also associated with themes of goodness, care, beauty, knowledge, & strength across several languages & cultures. "Ayapsychwelllness" was born out of a passion to help all people restore, or even establish skills that encourage balance, resilience, and resourcefulness as they navigate life's challenges.

I am passionate about helping others to achieve their life goals and/or recover from illness, trauma, or grief. If you have experienced a major life event, death/loss of a loved one, traumatic life events, or been diagnosed with a debilitating illness, this can be a very difficult journey to navigate alone. You may be leaning on others for support only to find they don't know how to help. Or perhaps you are too concerned to burden those closest to you with your emotional needs. Seeking professional therapy is an excellent way to get the specialized help you need on your path to recovery.

Life can be incredibly challenging. Feeling like we are alone in our experiences can make these times feel even more painful. I know the importance of feeling heard and seen, and knowing that you matter. Whether you are experiencing issues in relationships, a difficult personal journey, impacts from sociocultural systems, or just noticing that something isn't working for you anymore, I am here to listen. I want to provide a space where you feel understood, valued, and supported in healing and making meaningful change, however that looks for you.

You lost something important to you and your world has never been the same. Maybe you know exactly what happened. Maybe it happened so long ago, you can't remember the details. Either way, you're haunted by the ghost of a better life. It always seems to be just out of reach. Something needs to change, you can feel it in your bones. But every time you start to move in the right direction, things fall apart. Sometimes you wonder if you're doomed to feel this miserable and broken for the rest of your life.

We all possess natural wisdom and the inherent capacity for health and healing. By engaging in mindfulness and loving kindness practices and principles we can take an honest look at ourselves, cultivate gentleness and compassion and work more skillfully with the make-up that we have. With this as our foundation we can realize that times of difficulty and struggle are also opportunities for tremendous growth and discovery.

Hello, I'm Dr. Linda Chamberlain, a Licensed Psychologist with 45 years of experience. Making an initial contact with a therapist can be challenging. Congratulations on taking the first step! If we work together, I'll want to get a deeper understanding of who you are, what's brought you here, and how we can best meet your goals. I value the unique perspective and experience you bring to our collaboration. Change and personal growth is often difficult, but the transformation that can happen is so valuable. Therapy is the journey toward your better self. Let's get acquainted, I'm ready when you are!

Change can be scary, but it doesn't have to be. You are not alone. I provide a safe, warm and friendly environment for growth and healing. We will work together to identify and refine skills in overcoming obstacles and help you become the best person you can be. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, guilt and stress management. Our sessions can vary depending on your needs. I also specialize in providing Buddhist counseling.

Accepting new clients! I help people overcome difficulty and use it to grow and pursue a life of meaning and purpose. Sometimes we start by treating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, career, or LGBTQ+ and other identity issues, and over time turn to deeper issues about the life you want to create, your identity, and your values. I’m a humanistic counselor, which means I’ll never tell you what to do and I’ll always empower you to make the choice that’s best for you. I use a collaborative, gentle approach that helps you connect with your intuitive sense of self and your intrinsic motivation to grow and do difficult things.

Do you or a family member need help working through a difficult life transition? Maybe you sense this will require some changes in how you handle things. My patients are people seeking self-knowledge and wanting to make the most of life. They have begun to see patterns and obstacles they want to address in a depth-oriented psychotherapy relationship with someone who is highly qualified.

Dr. Reuben, a renown clinical and liberation psychologist, uses an integrative therapeutic style (i.e. "whatever is most helpful") to treat anxiety, depression, and trauma. His clients are high achievers and performers (leaders, executives, and athletes) and people from marginalized communities (womyn, Black people/POC, etc.). To increase access to these groups, Dr. Reuben is now licensed to offer virtual therapy services in the following states: AL, AZ, AR, CO, CT, DE, DC, GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, ME, MD, MI, MN, MO, NE, NV, NH,NJ, NC, ND, OH,OK, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI, and WY.

Why is it that we are so much harsher on ourselves than we are on others? Sometimes it’s as if our inner critic has a zero-tolerance policy for ourselves. Even when we’re hurting, our critic might jump in and say “You shouldn’t be feeling this way, suck it up.” It can be hard to manage our pain (or outright heal!) if our inner critic is ruthless and unrelenting. If it feels like your critic is beating you down, I’m here to help. Much of my experience has focused on helping adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, trauma, identity issues, and relationship difficulties.

She has been a faculty member with Maricopa Community Colleges and counseled students, employees and faculty in her work with Arizona State University.
