Trauma Focused Therapists in 34105

Hello and welcome to my virtual therapy practice! My name is Rachel Nguyen and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Vermont and Florida. I help people learn how to manage, cope and/or heal their anxiety, depression, grief, loss, ptsd, trauma, OCD and other problems mentioned on this page. Through trust and rapport I am to help my clients accomplish their goals by using my education, training and experience working as a therapist.

On the outside, maybe it seems like you're ok. But internally, you're depleted, overwhelmed, and not sure where to start. Most of us have experienced times in our lives were we get stuck. Sometimes laying awake night after night overthinking every worry and fear. Other times, we feel hopeless. Depressed. Lost. You know something has to change, and sometimes you might even know what has to change, but you just can't seem to muster up the energy or will to make it happen. If life isn't everything you hoped it would be there is hope. Connecting with the right therapist may be one of the greatest investments in yourself

I understand life can be stressful. We all struggle at times and need someone to help us through. In my work with clients and families, I firmly believe in building on the strengths and resilience you already possess to help you get through more difficult moments. My attitude and approach to treatment is that while we all have our struggles, every challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow as a person. I specialize in working with individuals or adult family members, such as couples, siblings, parents, or entire family units.

I offer an integrative treatment approach distinguished by combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with explorations of the existential self, and meditative practices. You may find me using a CBT approach- engaging you to challenge destructive belief systems that work against your goals and cause anxiety and depression; or we may need to go slow in the sessions and hear the "story" to piece together the journey- the decisions made, the traumas experienced and the hurt and loss. All are validated, and all experiences are reviewed as learning opportunities and guide posts for the future.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or lost? Are you struggling to cope with life's challenges? Are you looking for a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions? If so, therapy can help. At my therapy practice, I offer compassionate and personalized counseling services to help you navigate life's ups and downs. I strive to provide a non-judgmental and confidential environment where you can open up and express yourself freely, without fear of being criticized or misunderstood. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or any other mental health concern, I’m here to help.

Your life has started to spiral out of control since experiencing trauma. It’s been difficult to cope with uneasy thoughts & emotions. You’ve been overwhelmed trying to deal with these things on your own because you still haven’t fully processed what happened to you. You haven’t been able to openly communicate with your friends and loved ones. Functioning in your daily life has been challenging, to say the least. You wish you could just go back to your life as it was before the events of your trauma, but you don’t know how. You’ve only managed to find unhealthy coping habits. What you went through has turned your world upside down.

Do you have anxiety that effects you physically and would like to decrease bothersome body sensations? Somatic Experiencing can help decrease these sensations and help you move through past traumas, injuries and negative core beliefs. Do you struggle sexually in the bedroom due to a history of sexual abuse, sexual addiction, or sexual dysfunction due to a medical condition? If so, I can help educate and walk you through the process to have a fulfilling and exciting sex life. I work with betrayed partners, sex/love/pornography addicts and those that have acted sexually outside of their primary relationship.

Making the decision to begin the journey into your own self-care can be overwhelming. I provide a safe, person-centered, and judgement-free environment that welcomes acceptance and healing. Sometimes having a container to "hold space" can be incredibly freeing of the daily challenges we face in life.

Have you been cheated on and don't know if you should rebuild trust and work it out or leave? Are you trudging along in a relationship that is too bad to stay, but too good to leave? You lost a pregnancy and don't know how you can move on. If you been trying to get pregnant for so long that sex has turned into a mechanical chore, we can explore ways to regain connection. Perhaps you feel you have lost your partner to working incessantly or taking care of kids and intimacy is a thing of the past. If this resonates with you I can help you navigate your journey with clarity, confidence, and even happiness.
