Therapists in Florida

Hello. :-) Ofrezco la terapia en español. My name is Karrissa Manchester and I provide counseling in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language. While I work with a wide population with various concerns, the majority of my work is geared toward helping people who are struggling with the effects of trauma, such as anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, codependency, negative thought patterns, sleep disturbance, and so much more. I not only help you build coping skills to decrease distress, but I also help you get to the root of your symptoms so that you will experience long-term relief.

You may be struggling with the following questions: What is stopping me from living a fulfilled and balanced life? What is my value/worth? Am I on the right path? Why do I feel anxious for no reason? Why is it difficult for me to adapt to change? Why can't I connect with my partner? The focus of my work is helping individuals develop healthier relationships with themselves and the people in their lives. My philosophy is represented in Steve Marboli's statement: "The power to change your life lies in the simplest of steps".

Throughout our journey in life, we frequently come across emotional and behavioral hurdles. These obstacles not only affect us individually but can also have repercussions on our family, work, and overall life dynamics. Various factors contribute to the development of emotional and psychological difficulties.

The exciting part is that there exists a wealth of evidence-based techniques and approaches to help us conquer these obstacles and flourish.

I work with adults, couples, children, adolescents, and families, to develop a treatment plan uniquely designed for each person. During the initial visit, issues bringing the client to therapy and ways of dealing with them are discussed. Common issues addressed in therapy may include stress, depression, anxiety, relationship and family problems, transition, loss, grief, self-esteem, and unhealthy life choices. I employ many advanced theatment modalities to assist my clients. Therapy is designed to address the core issues, but is also goal-oriented and structured to help clients improve communication and relationship skills, and lead happier, more productive lives.

My goal is to be able to provide a bridge between families and their schools, whether it is to give guidance to families on where to begin, offer school-related supports (e.g., counseling) that may not be available at your local school, or even try to help expedite the evaluation process by conducting comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations that parents can provide to their child's school. In addition, due to my specialty in deafness, I have advanced training and expertise in working with this specialized population that is above and beyond what most general school psychologists in the public schools have.

I create a trusting space and build rapport so that you can have a place to process challenges, which also creates growth.

Sometimes, there are disruptions in life that affect not only the present but the future as well. These disruptions can impact how we see ourselves, how we see others, and how we perceive the world in a negative way. I draw from the modalities of CBT, DBT, Person-Centered Therapy, and SandTray Therapy.
