Parenting Therapists in Frankfort Ave, Louisville, KY

SUCCESS IS WITHIN REACH" I am gentle yet firmly persistent in helping clients find direction, making choices of right and wrong and uncovering their ability to tell reality from distortion and delusion. My clients find the counseling experience positive, insightful and intellectual which opens the doors of lasting happiness and sense of reality for them. The introspection, self examination and self actualization greatly increases their sensitivity and attitude about what is really important in human experience and opens the doors of happiness and sense of reality." My counseling approach gives clients insight to follow for greater understanding and self actualization.

Is life feeling like too much to handle? Are you struggling with your own emotions or in your relationships? As human beings in a fast-paced modern society, we all face daily challenges and stressors. Some of us can navigate these issues on our own and others require a bit of professional support. I encourage clients to view therapy as a journey we embark on together. I have experience working with clients of all ages, and I welcome anyone who is looking to explore ways to improve their quality of life, whether it is due to life transitions, relationship conflicts, past trauma, or managing emotional challenges.

Creating Connection is a small group practice aimed at providing playful and expressive therapeutic services to children, teens, and adults.

Each of our therapists specialize is working with different populations (all of which is listed below). We strive to maintain evidenced based practices to ensure high quality care that is accessible and consistent to all clients.

Do you ever find yourself wondering: How did I get here? Where am I going? Why am I even doing this? When thinking about your relationship, do you ask yourself: Where did the passion and intimacy go? Is this all there is to love? How will I ever be able to trust again? Has anxiety worn you down? Is frustration and anger constantly causing trouble in your life? Is fear keeping you from living the life you want? Is there something you can’t stop? If you answered yes to any of these, you are likely at a crossroads. Please read on.

My approach to helping my clients includes providing a safe emotional space, empathy, understanding how thoughts impact our feelings and behavior and implementing mindfulness to promote positive change. Whether it is individual therapy for yourself, couples therapy to strengthen a relationship, or family therapy to make home a healthier emotional environment, I can help you work through issues that may have been simmering for years. Even small changes in thinking and perspective along with learning appropriate communication and life skills can make a joyful difference.

Mindive offers experienced, qualified, and licensed mental health services to children, families, individuals and couples.  Our therapists have over thirty combined years in providing therapeutic change and growth.

With our world increasingly changing every day, feelings of ‘uncertainty’ are constantly on the rise. Often, we can find it difficult to consistently meet the challenges and demands of our given lifestyle. But add to this that we are frequently taken to task by a ‘surprise unknown’ or two: Lost jobs. Lost relationships. Health issues. Even a lost childhood pulling at you. Maybe all of the above, and then some! Of course, each of us tries to meet these unknowns to the best of our ability. And at times even our absolute best efforts won’t get us back on course.

If you are seeking healing, or desire to lead a healthier and happier life, I assist clients struggling with anxiety, depression and interpersonal distress, integrating spirituality and experiential elements to address the needs of the whole person. I enjoy working with persons of all ages.

No matter what has brought you to therapy, your experience is valid. I believe that even the most unlikeable, confusing, extreme parts of you have a wisdom to be understood, a protectiveness to be thanked, and a vulnerability to be seen and heard. In my practice, I will seek to meet you exactly where you are, and together we can tend to the unique challenges in your life. My ultimate goal is for clients to uncover their essential self—to rediscover their own innate wisdom and strength that can face whatever life brings. We will work together to create a life where you feel more aware and in charge of your journey.
