Therapists in Bradenton, FL

If your serious about making healthy changes in your life and if what you have been doing is not working, try something new. I am passionate about opening your mind to a healthier view by instructing you on how to rid yourself of stubborn thinking. Awaken your mind and transform your uncertainty into clear and meaningful direction. Most clients will immediately recognize a change in their thinking and find emotional relief after their first visit. Allow me to lead you to the healthy change you desire.

Do you battle the "not good enough" thinking? Are your roller coaster emotions creating friction in your marriage, family, friendships or work? Have you gone through a really hard life experience and can't quite seem to leave it behind? Are you a woman whose kids are growing up and away and you find yourself either experiencing sadness or feeling like you can't quite find fulfillment? Are you in a marriage (or preparing for marriage) in which you feel treated "less than" or even worse, abused? Or do you feel lost and confused about your life? These are concerns I hear every day. I hope you'll let me help.

Hi! My name is Michele D. Della Costa. If you feel that help has been hard to find, give me a call.

If you are ready to feel better and take control of your happiness, I am ready, too. You are Worthy of love and kindness, both from yourself and from others.

What makes you do things that are the exact opposite of what you want? Research reveals, in part, that your unconscious motivations conflict with your conscious intentions. Many blame themselves for making the wrong choices that are conscious but, somehow beyond their immediate control. Without your knowledge, the unconscious drives you in another direction and at your core lay the threatening force of fear that can drag you away from where you want to go. Every time you sense anxiety or fear, you apply the brakes, slow down your journey, and prevent yourself from living your fullest life. We offer psychological tools to move forward.
