Accepting New Clients! Greetings! I am excited to meet and embark on this journey with you. Congratulations in advance on taking this huge step on your therapeutic journey. I believe in working in partnership with my clients to maximize their current strengths, help sort their challenges and achieve their goals, while understanding that the clients are the experts of their lives. When you experience trauma or life stressors, it is normal to believe that your life goes downhill or to believe as if everything is falling apart rapidly.
My specialties include interventions for: trauma, relational issues, post-traumatic stress disorders, adjustment to life events, stress management, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and mood disorders. By utilizing an integrative approach, I am committed to providing you with skills that will help you unlearn unhealthy patterns, and make critical decisions.
My mission as your therapist is to provide you with space that is empathetic, judgment-free, and safe. It is my job to create an environment where you feel you can let your guard down, find your voice, and explore your true sense of identity. I believe that therapy is an essential tool to help you look within and become the best version of yourself.
Take the first step to help. Call or Vernicia John-Lewis now - (386) 384-9609
