Therapists in Jacksonville, FL

Hello, thanks for visiting my page. I am happy that you took this step to find the help and support that you need. I am Dr. Wilfreda Cruz, a LCSW Psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience working in Mental Health. I am the owner of Cruz Counseling and Wellness. I have expertise working with clients on a wide range of concerns from marriage/relationship issues, military family life challenges, depression, anxiety, divorce, grief, anxiety, PTSD/Trauma, parenting, co-parenting, ADHD, narcissistic abuse recovery and trauma recovery including betrayal trauma arising from infidelity.

Are you feeling burned out from juggling it all? Does your "to do" list ever end or are you worrying about it late at night when you're trying to fall asleep? Are you getting impatient with loved ones followed by deep regret for those unpleasant exchanges you wish had never even happened in the first place? I understand how difficult it can be managing your demanding career or business ventures, your beloved family, and some semblance of a personal life. It all seems so fragile and it feels like you have nothing left to give. That’s not who you are though and you've decided it's time to make a change.

It is important that my clients have issues that I am qualified to treat. An ideal client would be willing to explore, understand, and work through their psychological and emotional challenges. Their needs consist of a nonjudgmental space where they feel seen, heard, and understood, allowing them to express themselves freely and practical tools and coping strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, or stress and to navigate challenging emotions or situations.

At one time or another every person feels alone, without direction, or just ready for a life change of some type. My goal is to help you find answers to your questions and start your new beginning. I am here to listen, teach coping and calming skills, help build better relationships, and even give pointers on decreasing anxiety, depression, and social issues.

Feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? Feeling numb or just not yourself? Feeling stuck in your life or relationships? I offer a safe environment in which you can gain support and guidance in navigating these difficult challenges. I am passionate about helping you to find solutions to your problems and build strong and healthy relationships in your life. I'm here to help you get through the tough times and feel like yourself again. As a therapist who specializes in relationships, I will help you discover ways to strengthen your connections with others or find healing from the pain that can often come from those connections.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately? Thinking to yourself: "There's no way things can get any worse" and then feeling like they do. Are you feeling stuck and like you just can't get ahead no matter what you try? Have you recently experienced a loss and are having a difficult time moving forward? Imagine yourself waking up each day with a renewed sense of purpose and meaning. See yourself dealing with life's difficult moments with more peace and grace for yourself and others. It would be nice to sleep peacefully each night and wake up with a new lease on life: no more second guessing, no more self-doubt, no more feeling trapped.

Thanks for being brave to seek help to overcome challenges and make you more resilient. My name is Floribeth Arrautt, MSW, LCSW, a bilingual licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience providing psychotherapy to the elderly, adults, young teens, and children with chronic medical issues and challenges. My client population & specialty focus on providing the psychological tools and interventions that my patients need when dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, chronic medical issues, loss & grief, obesity, emotional eating behaviors. I help my clients to build coping skills to feel better and to overcome obstacles.

So, you’re thinking about therapy… It takes courage to ask for help. When we experience something that has caused distress, threatens our life or our well-being it can be difficult to think clearly to make healthy choices for ourselves. Therapy allows you to talk about all of the negative thoughts and feelings that are left over.

Have you been living under the weight of heavy labels like ‘anxiety’ and ‘depression’. You aren’t meant to. Experiencing moments of anxiety and sadness is a part of the human experience. But it is not your identity and it is not a way of life. Life is rarely easy but that doesn’t mean it can't be full of joy.

Are you looking to reduce stress, feel calm, and enjoy your life again? Is your teen struggling with school, friendships, self-esteem, or anxiety? I enjoy assisting clients in learning emotional awareness, anger or anxiety management, coping skills, communication skills, interpersonal skills, and problem solving skills in order to manage their emotions and behavior more effectively. I individualize therapy to the unique needs of my clients. I emphasize holistic growth and healing by incorporating the emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of a client into treatment.

I support my clients in getting to the root cause of distress, unhealthy lifestyle practices, and ineffective patterns of behavior. This often includes addressing chronic and complex trauma and stressors, and identifying core beliefs and societal pressures that have come to influence their behavior and lifestyle choices.

I integrate holistic health and wellness strategies, to assist my clients in developing healthy lifestyle practices that support their optimal mental health.

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by the weight of the world? Struggling to find balance in your work, personal life, and self-advocacy? You're not alone. Hi, I'm Cameron, a licensed clinical social worker, herbalist, and yoga practitioner dedicated to supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds on their journey to mental and emotional wellness. As a black woman, I understand the unique challenges and pressures that marginalized groups face. That's why I've made it my mission to create a safe and inclusive space for individuals who often feel ignored or overlooked by traditional healthcare systems.

You weren’t meant to do this alone. Sometimes, strength is in allowing yourself to be vulnerable and accept support. Maybe you’ve tried to open up before and got hurt.

Therapy sessions with me are tailored to your specific needs. I offer you personalized guidance and techniques to improve your life and find lasting relief.
