Open Relationships Non-Monogamy Therapists in Tallahassee, FL

Sick of feeling stuck? Let's move you forward. Are you smart, educated, and goal-oriented, yet find yourself suffering? Perhaps you are wondering how to move past that same damn argument with your partner. Perhaps you find that when everything is going well, you self-sabotage. Perhaps you're having some trouble forgiving yourself for past mistakes or parenting missteps. It's time to live life the way YOU want, purge the shame of not being "enough", and start having more joy in your life. My style is relaxed and non-traditional. Expect to laugh and look forward to therapy, and also make progress that you can be proud of!

Do you feel unlovable? Have you been told that you aren't good enough? Do you maybe say these things to yourself? Is it difficult to connect or feel safe during intimacy with partners or in general? You are not alone. Many people that have lived through childhood/relational trauma find it difficult to feel comfortable in their bodies, express themselves authentically, and engage comfortably in relationships. How you feel right now is not how you have to feel for the rest of your life.

I believe in a strength based approach which means every client has a natural strength that can be used to improve upon any situation. My goal is to help clients identify and utilize the skills they already possess. Therapy approaches I often use to achieve this goal are EMDR, CBT, motivational interviewing, etc. I enjoy working with clients who are seeking to process through trauma. We have all experienced it at least once in our lives, and I love working with clients seeking to process and overcome these experiences. I practice a judgement free environment and enjoy learning as much from my clients as they learn from me.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I help individuals, couples, and families explore and solve problems using evidenced-based therapy models, combined with breathing and yoga techniques for those interested in incorporating mind-body techniques.

My specialty is working with adults and teens with emotional dysregulation, self-harming behaviors and difficulty with impulsive, destructive and self-destructive behavior. I also treat trauma both in adolescents and in adults. I offer fully adherent DBT. Adherent Dialectical Behavior Therapy has the most evidence showing it to be an effective treatment for suicidal people and people with Borderline Personality Disorder and BPD traits. At this current time we are the only practice in the Tallahassee area offering full protocol, adherent DBT which means you get the treatment that works best to help you or your teen stop suffering.

Therapeutic spaces are one of the most unique environments we can engage with for support that is individual to us. Your personhood deserves to be nurtured in a place where you can be unequivocally yourself. Whether you are experiencing significant stressors, going through life transitions, or wanting a secure place to self-explore, therapy could be your starting point.

My approach to therapy is compassionate and client-focused such that I provide an individualized therapy experience for each person I work with. I integrate person-centered approaches with cognitive behavioral and existential principles to help people deal with a variety of symptoms and stressors. I use evidence-based practice to help people address their unique goals and work through any barriers that prevent a person from living their ideal life.

We all experience struggles from time to time that may leave us feeling overwhelmed, or numb and disconnected. Whether you are recovering from trauma, experiencing relationship difficulties, seeking insight, or needing a safe space to work through difficult emotions- therapy can help you forge a new way forward while collaborating with a caring clinician. Although starting therapy can feel a bit scary, it is a worthy process.

Hi there, I’m Stacey, and I’m here to help. Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Are you struggling to feel more connected in your relationships? Are events from the past making it hard for you to enjoy the present? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps individuals, couples, and families find healthy coping strategies, balance, and fulfillment through empowerment, skill building, polyvagal, and mindfulness techniques. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and I have completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

“It’s always best to believe in one’s self, but a little help from others can be a great blessing!” I view each person as the main character in their book of life. Each book contains stories of joy, sadness, exploration, struggle, and most importantly, hope. My goal to assist in exploring these stories, whether you encounter depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, intersectional struggles, or self-esteem issues. I am especially sensitive to those impacted by LGBTQ issues, religious minorities, activists, uniformed public servants, and those experiencing depression.

Growth is not linear and change can be difficult, especially if we are trying to do it on our own. Feeling disconnected from ourselves and others can be the first step of change to living a life that feels true to you. On the journey of self-discovery, we often need another perspective in order to change our reality; therapy can be a way to get there. Therapy is a tool that can be used to help you find your most authentic self and live life unapologetically. In finding what works for you we will develop new skills that will contribute to your ideal life. I would be happy to assist you in creating a life that is authentic to you.

Let me start by saying I am glad you are here, regardless if you choose me as your therapist or another practitioner. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, feeling down, negative thoughts, struggling with self-esteem, stress from school, or issues in relationships, I'm here to give you the support and tools you need to overcome them and thrive. While working with me, you'll find that we'll work together as a team, using approaches like Solution-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among others. We'll concentrate on ways to reach your goals, build up coping skills, and find real happiness and growth in your life.

Focus: college students and professionals struggling with depression, anxiety, and/or relationship issues. I'm trained in evidence-based therapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which concludes that through mindful meditation, we can defuse ourselves from our thoughts and emotions, allowing us to commit to value-congruent actions in a way that brings us life purpose. I am also passionate about working with couples, helping them navigate through their struggles at any point in their relationship or deal with sensitive issues. Lastly, I'm a sex-positive Sex Therapist who welcomes individuals to explore their sexual issues in a safe and non-judgmental setting.

I am passionate about helping clients grow in personal strength and creating self-confidence that allows you to feel higher levels of peace when navigating the difficulties of daily life as well as when processing previous trauma. I have experience in ABA, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT, art therapy, and a variety of other therapies based on need.

Life comes with challenges and changes that can be complex to navigate. My passion is empowering clients to navigate these challenges through warm, empathetic care in a safe environment. By working alongside clients and viewing them holistically, I believe it is possible to help them enact real change and personal growth.

Family Resources has been in business and serving clients for over a decade. During that time it has been our privilege to serve hundreds of individuals, couples, and families dealing with a wide range of issues. Just as everyone needs a physician from time to time, everyone can also benefit from the help of a psychotherapist. It does not indicate weakness or poor spirituality. It simply means that one is suffering from an emotional or mental problem. Everyone grieves, stresses, and anyone can become depressed which is why we will provide services in a professional, confidential, and non-judgmental fashion.

The days tick on and you feel paralyzed by the enormity of the decisions coming your way. Your loved one has just been given a diagnosis and you're struggling to understand what that even means to your life. Trying to face the fact that this time next year they may not be here feels impossible. This illness has stolen pieces of you, stolen your loved one's identity. You feel lost in the sea of doctors, medical jargon, and referrals, struggling to keep your head above water. With no clear sense of direction, you turn inward and feel alone. The tears, fears, and questions can only be hidden for so long. So, what now?

The reasons people don't seek therapy are complex. For many, therapy exists within the very systems that have harmed them, yet therapeutic practices (& therapists) often ignore these truths when they ask individuals to “take charge” of and “own responsibility” for the distress and trauma in their lives without that broader understanding, or worse, from a place of privilege or toxic positivity. Clients who decide to work with me should be ready to engage deeply and authentically. My approach is empathetic and requires accountability, radical honesty, and a commitment to the work of healing.
