Teletherapy for Florida

Hi, I’m Larthenia! I am a Registered Marriage and Family Intern on the Treasure Coast of Florida. I work with individuals, couples, and families who have ongoing challenges connecting in relationships, and who experience depression and anxiety. I’m no different from the clients I see. Like everyone else, I’m human. I’ve been through wonderful and difficult experiences that have shaped who I am. Therapy helped to put my life back in order, and my own growth through personal life struggles is what helps me relate so deeply with clients. I enjoy guiding people toward positive changes and witnessing them achieve more fulfilling lives.

The therapeutic bond is a healing space that is completely safe. That means, you can do close to no wrong in our relationship. This is a space that you are held with unconditional positive regard and should not be afraid to share things that you feel you may have done “wrong” that week, or avoid sharing something you weren’t able to accomplish. I want you to feel that you can tell me your deepest darkest thoughts and find that sometimes the best work comes when you are faced with things that make you uncomfortable.

I am a believer that compassion is a necessary ingredient for growth. I believe in utilizing the Mind-Body connection to help my clients grow and heal. I believe in thinking outside of the box. I will tailor my approach to fit your needs. I enjoy finding new, innovative ways to help people in my work. I work with adults and adolescents. I offer traditional talk therapy, EMDR, Direct Neurofeedback , Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Mindfulness-based therapies.

Making sense of what is happening in the world, the neighborhood, the family and even within myself has taken on a new intensity and urgency! If you have lost the joy in your life, it is ok to reach out for help that enables that joy to emerge from deep within. Whatever your issue, contact me to see if there is a connection that makes a difference.

I am a licensed psychologist with more than 30 years experience in the field of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (CBT), a powerful cognitive behavioral technique and an Associate Fellow of the Albert Ellis Institute. I teach people to become their own happier healthy self. My practice is focused on active-directive strategies to help people gain stability and mental flexibility. In the last 18 years, I have found that the combination of cognitive behavioral talk therapy and/or a complimentary psycho-physiological therapy, EEG Biofeedback or Neurofeedback , has been the most robust evidenced-based interventions I have used in my years of practice.

Are you struggling with Mental Health issues and looking for a bit more than only counseling? Do you want to explore the self-regulation capabilities of our brain? You are with the right professional. You should know that our brain has the extraordinary capability of self-regulating through learning conditioning. A visual and sound signal can make our brain correct wrong electrical patterns of functioning, helping not only to better functioning in terms of brain waves but improving mental health symptoms. The changes you need to make in your behavioral life, mood and emotions will be enhanced using Neurofeedback .

I believe that all human beings have the potential to live productive lives. Unfortunately some may feel that happiness and self actualization is beyond their control. My role is to provide a trusting, nonjudgmental environment that will facilitate the process of reorganization of each individual's perceptions and transformation to a new sense of self.

My goal as a psychologist and as a therapist is to develop and deliver compassionate, responsive, and effective quality mental health services to all those that seek professional psychological treatment and to help them develop stratagies to cope more effectively with thier lifes challenges.

Providing telehealth and in-person sessions in Florida and telehealth in Maine! We are truly living in unprecedented times. It is normal to be struggling with the challenges these times have presented. My goal is to help you navigate these challenges and implement strategies to improve your life. Whether you're struggling as a result of current events, or experiences from your past, I can help you overcome these struggles and live your best life. Offering a variety of modalities, including neurofeedback and EMDR, two powerful and proven techniques, that provide relief without requiring you to talk about your stressors.

Everyone has times in their life when they need help. You may be having symptoms that are keeping you from your best life and you're ready for change. Therapy can help you get back on track, build skills to navigate daily life, increase your confidence, and build connections with others. There are many evidence-based approaches we can discuss to find a good fit for you. I integrate a physiological approach into counseling. We can use biofeedback, neurofeedback , and mindfulness to complement talk therapy. I am assisted by my registered therapy dog, PJ.

I work with people to help them reach their full potential. I can do this with telehealth or in person. My job is to help remove those barriers keeping you from becoming who you really are. That might simply be a change in your life you are having trouble making. Or that may be a mental health or physical issue you have. Because I'm both a psychotherapist AND Chiropractic Physician, I can address the physical components of things that are keeping you from being who you want to be too. Often the physical problems have psychological components and the psychological problems have physical components.

Every person has a journey and challenges individually and in relationships, when often times may feel powerless, low self-esteem, no coping skills, anxious and depressed. Sometimes we may also feel unfocused on daily tasks or overall in life. Together we can understand and resolve many challenges by applying therapy methods tailored to you, as well as having the right guidance and help. Research shows that unhealthy relationships can cause both emotional and physical stress, whereas healthy relationships can enhance and improve overall well-being and a more meaningful life. Let me help you reach your personal goals.

I want to bring hope back into your life.

I have devoted my life to helping people become to best versions of themselves. I provide Psychotherapy services to children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience working with Trauma, Reactive Attachment Disorder, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Grief, Substance Misuse and Behavioral Issues. I believe every person deserves a tailored approach that is conducive to their healing.

When we are forced to go through scary experiences, because something or someone bigger and stronger than us prevents our escape, our brains and bodies carry around a memory of the event indefinitely, which is called trauma. Usually these types of experiences happen when we are children because of our vulnerability, but they can also happen when we are adults. Trauma can lead to anxiety, depression, anger issues, chronic stress, difficulty with relationships, substance abuse, parenting issues and more. I help my clients heal their traumas so they can thrive in their lives with greater peace and ease :-)

I help clients reach their optimal potential in mind, body, and spirit. My practice offers the most effective techniques in Miami to include Dynamical Neurofeedback , Hypnotherapy, EMDR, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Medical Psychotherapy. I help Executives, Athletes, Students, and Performers achieve Peak Performance. We also help persons with depression, anxiety, anger management, etc. Cardiac Psychology is available to patients with heart disease or at risk for it. I am available as a consultant and resource to the medical, legal and business communities. We offer SKYPE services for appropriate clients.

Some people have waited a long time and have dealt with something difficult, even becoming accustomed to discomfort or a painful experience before seeking help. Others may desire increased satisfaction in life and are seeking understanding and a greater sense of wellbeing. Whether you have a clear need in seeking counseling, such as a crisis, traumatic experience, or significant life change or a more subtle sense of wanting greater fulfillment and life satisfaction, the counseling process can be helpful in personal understanding, healing and change, creating the potential for improving how we relate to life, ourselves and others.

Specializing in trauma recovery, codependency, relationships and the emotional reconnection of men, my focus is helping clients heal underlying wounds which affect adult life. As clients move from reactivity to responsiveness or from victimization to empowerment, they are enabled to live their best lives. I provide a non-judgmental environment as clients identify and address the core issues which may be leading to depression, anxiety, addictions or relationship problems. A multi-modal approach which may include counseling, EMDR, Neurofeedback and Intensive workshops enable clients to receive needed services in one setting.
