Therapists Beginning With H in Florida

I believe that the most important indicator of success in therapy for any client is how comfortable the client feels with their therapist. Once their comfort level is established with me- the work can begin in a positive and practical manner for Adults and Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Multicultural Issues, Couples, Women's Issues, and Work Related Issues to name a few . I incorporate diverse therapeutic interventions to get my client to their goals. My goal is that my clients complete counseling feeling that they came out of therapy with the skills needed to continue to live life successfully.

Maybe it hurts to look in the mirror and not hate the image looking back at you. Maybe you look like you have it all together but inside you feel like you are a fraud or are at your breaking point.

I am a licensed psychologist and psychoanalyst specializing in adult individual and couple psychotherapy. In therapy I focus on developing a deeper understanding of you and the role of your unconscious conflicts in the difficulties you are having. Discovering how and why you may be unconsciously contributing to your difficulties is tremendously helpful in freeing you to change. We all unintentionally and unconsciously contribute to our obstacles. Finding out exactly how, when, and why you may inadvertently undermine yourself frees you to change in deep and powerful ways. It can also help with difficult problems that nothing else has helped.

We believe in the importance of both Science and Spirituality in our work. We are advocates for both Herbal and Prescription treatment and believe in the use of both Eastern and Western medical systems to treat disease and maintain health.

This model is different than many counseling models which have a less collaborative flavor. In these models typically the therapist is the "expert" in the room and should not be challenged.
