LMHC, 3 years of experience
Hey there! I'm Paige, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in the sunny state of Florida. My passion lies in empowering individuals who are prepared to embark on a transformative journey toward a brighter future. With a wealth of experience spanning various demographics and challenges, I specialize in supporting those navigating neurodiversity (such as Autism and ADHD), trauma (including survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence), substance abuse, and the complexities of anxiety and depression.
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges that you're facing. This will help us to be able to work together to create goals for you and prioritize them based on how important each goal is to you. As we move through therapy we will work on learning different coping skills to help you accomplish each goal.
I would consider myself to be a really laid-back therapist; my goal is to work with my clients towards being more mindful about where they currently are and making more mindful decisions about where they want their mental health to be in the future.
I have experience working with both children and adults. My ideal client is someone who is ready to do the hard work despite how scary or challenging it can be. Know that as your counselor, I am always in your corner and ready to provide the support you need.
I practice from a Cognitive Behavioral perspective, which basically means I help you identify your problematic thoughts and how they affect your emotions and behaviors. Then we figure out how to challenge your problematic thoughts and respond to them mindfully so that your feelings and behaviors are more positive as a result.
