Psychodynamic Therapists in Marion County, FL

Hey there, I'm Saila Akhtar. Do you find yourself overthinking and analyzing every little details of events that has happened to you? Do you feel like you are always on autopilot and unable to feel relax? Are you struggling to connect with people in your life? Do you have a hard time showing grace and self-compassion? I help my client manage their day to day stress, anxiety and depression. Together, we can identify what's not working and come up with a plan that can improve your quality of life. We'll use a overall wellness approach addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit.

I have experience working with issues such as domestic violence, trauma, parenting, life transitions, addictions, anxiety, depression, and coping with mental illness. While I employ a variety of interventions, my understanding is that there are universal elements in my approach to therapy. First, the relationship between the client and the therapist would be a crucial focus of therapy. Second, there is an emphasis on the here and now, but he would never neglect someone's personal history, especially if they are affecting the present. Thirdly, goal setting would be a crucial part of therapy.

I believe that everyone has the capacity for personal growth and transformation, and my experience as a therapist has taught me the importance of empathy, compassion, and collaboration in the therapeutic process to help uncover inner resources and strengths to overcome challenges and achieve goals.

I feel honored, to be trusted as I am, in walking each individual through the depths of pain and towards renewed hope. Have you felt stuck or like you continue a pattern of self-destruction despite the consequences? Don't lose hope. I can help you identify the core messages that perpetuate this pain. I will meet you where you are at so you are certain to have the support necessary to see this through. No issue is too big to be broken down into a workable plan of action. Let's join together. No one should walk this alone.

I enjoy working with clients of all age groups and demographics. I am enthralled with the human condition and I like to help clients understand the motivations of their chosen behaviors. I love working with adolescents and witness many young adults develop and grow into who they are meant to be. I believe strongly in people recognizing and working toward their full potential. I rejoice when I am able to work for a client who accepts ownership of their actions and wants to work to improve their lives emotionally and physically.

It is an honor to hold someone's heart as they journey through healing and unfold into the individual they desire to be. Traumas, attachment trauma, and life challenges such as loss, depression and anxiety can leave us feeling empty, lost and wondering if life will ever improve. Finding the right prescription of modalities is vital for healing.

Are your relationships broken, and you are wondering, "How did it ever get to this point?" Or have you ever thought: "If people knew this about me, they would shun me?" What if you are anxious and/or depressed? If we are brutally honest, most of what hurts us comes down to this question: "Am I worthy enough to be loved; to be known?" I want you to know you are not alone! There is hope! Because here is the truth, most everyone is worthy to be loved and known, you just have to learn to believe it!

Dr. Woller specializes in diagnosing and treating children with chronic mental health, learning disabilities, issues related to trauma & behavioral issues. Having a Doctoral Degree in Psychology and her Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work her assessments are grounded in the "person in environment theory" of social work.

WE ALL HAVE A STORY.................................................................................................................................... "Owning our story can be hard but, not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky, but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy-the experience that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light"- Brene Brown I provide a safe space for you to share your story and together we can develop long lasting solutions.

Sylphia Lindsay, LMHC, CAP, CTT, also trained in somatic experience (SE). My philosophy is that counseling is an important aspect of personal growth for all persons. I believe that in a person's journey, growth is about guidance - seeing yourself through a different lens. That can be found spiritually, through self-help, individual therapy, etc. I believe the growth starts within the person, and therapy is the assistance that guides you to the higher sense of awareness. That higher sense of awareness allows you to achieve higher goals.

My clients are those who are experiencing difficulties and are in a space to work on their issues. All clients are met where they are and we work to help the clients achieve their level of growth.
