Sexual Abuse Therapists in Winter Haven, FL

If you're stressed, depressed, anxious or have experienced a life changing event, counseling helps you learn coping skills to become happier. You'll be in a nonjudgmental environment as we work together for you to regain resilience. Reliving the past does not necessarily relieve it but as a solution-focused therapist, I help you listen to yourself and explore the most authentic and best options for you. You have your own answers and it's an honor to assist you in your healing or life coaching.

My personal mission is to live intentionally; honoring those I have the privilege of encountering, illuminate hope and facilitate in identifying problems, then join in their search for solutions, and commence the journey of healing, so those I serve can lead a more fulfilling life. Anne

You never thought your marriage would look like this. The fights. The yelling. It's all exhausting. You want to stay married, you just can't see how to make it happen or if it will even work. It feels like in the midst of doing life together something changed and the spark that brought you together feels like a tiny flicker now. You want things to be the way they were before life got so hard but that feels like lightyears ago. The passion is missing. The trust is missing. Intimacy is practically non-existent. Talking even feels difficult. You're ready for things to be different, but need a little help figuring out how to get there.

There’s an old picture hanging in my office of a woman dressed in a white and blue cover up sitting with her legs crossed. She’s wearing an expression I’ve seen many times before. If she could talk she would say, “I don’t want to be here talking to you. You don’t know me and I don’t know you. I know what you do, you get me to talk, you have a plan for me but I have a better plan for you. I won’t tell you anything of note, and soon you’ll tire of me and I’ll be in the same boat.” During my many years in shelters and private practice I’ve worked with hundreds of these cases with much success.

I enjoy working with adults who are interested in working through various concerns, such as stuck points, repeated problems in love or in themselves, that seem to persist. Helping teens that are dealing with low self-esteem, depressions, or anxiety is also a primary focus of my practice.

The outcomes vary, but many clients discover freedom from longstanding patterns of behavior or self-image. Others simply get free from needing perfection from themselves or others.
