Teletherapy for Wesley Chapel, FL

I have a 20+ year background in providing counseling and psychotherapeutic services to integrated behavioral health patients of all ages, from the chronically mentally ill, self-esteem problems, relationship problems, spirituality concerns, identity issues, those who suffer from terminal medical illnesses, in addition to those battling severe chemical dependency problems. I also have experience in providing therapy for inmates as well, and I'm currently attending medical courses to develop learning along the the biochemical spectrum of clinical disorders for future psychiatric practice.

Do you feel stuck in unforgiveness? Stuck in fear. Stuck remembering the past. Stuck and can't imagine a life not struggling. Tired of being tired and feeling alone and unseen. How do you get the noise of the thoughts to stop and how do you make the hurt stop when your mind tells you those feelings are irrational? Do you want to understand and finally heal from your past? Was that considered trauma? Are all these things triggers? The days seems long and the nights even longer. Are you able to serve and love on so many people and have so many people love you, yet you feel inauthentic and lonely? Who is going to care for you?

It takes courage and wisdom to seek therapy and I commend you for doing so. You have taken the first step in what I hope will become a positive, growth-enhancing experience for you. I have more than 20 year's experience helping people like you overcome obstacles, harness your strengths, confront your fears, and increase your capacity for happiness and meaning in your life. My clients describe me as warm, understanding, trustworthy, insightful, supportive, challenging, and skillful. They describe our work as challenging, rewarding, life-changing, and growth-enhancing.

If you or your child are struggling with intrusive thoughts, anxiety, fear, low mood, or repetitive actions or behaviors that are distressing or disrupting, I would be honored to work with you on learning effective, evidence-based skills to combat fear and negative thoughts. I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Florida in Clinical Psychology, with a focus on child/pediatrics, but work with patients of all ages. My specialty is in anxiety, OCD, and phobias, but I also work with a variety of other mental health issues, including body-focused repetitive behaviors, such as tics, hair pulling, and skin picking behaviors.

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're tired of not seeing improvements no matter how hard you try. You can imagine life before this crippling anxiety. The carelessness that you enjoyed before being tied to pornography. You're looking for that one solution to help you feel some relief.

So many people are struggling right now for so many different issues. Some people are dealing with issues from the past and some are experiencing tragedy in the present. I work with people in a warm, welcoming, judge free zone to help them feel heard and accepted. The techniques I utilize help people to learn about their struggles and begin to think about things differently which in turn changes responses and behavior.
