Hi there! I’m Mindy, and I’m here to help. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over a decade of experience. I love sharing new ways to cope and helping people break free from negative patterns. I want to create a safe and comfortable space where you feel at ease and understood. I respect your unique values, beliefs, and cultural background.
In our first session, we will start with a brief introduction of ourselves. Then we will dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work on in subsequent sessions.
My therapeutic approach is characterized by a warm and encouraging demeanor, and I provide direct feedback when it is appropriate. I believe therapy serves as a transformative space for self-discovery, healing, empowerment, and personal development. My objective is to facilitate your journey toward self-actualization by equipping you with the necessary tools and strategies to unlock your full potential. I adopt an individualized therapeutic framework tailored to the unique needs of each client.
I have extensive experience working with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, Autism, relationship issues, codependency, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. As a therapist, I firmly believe in embracing neurodiversity. I specialize in assisting neurodivergent adults with relationship and social challenges. I am well-versed in the impact of masking and rejection sensitivity on their mental well-being.
DBT is a highly effective therapy approach, particularly for individuals struggling with intense emotions, self-harm, and interpersonal difficulties. Its focus on mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness equips clients with valuable skills to manage challenging situations and improve their overall quality of life.
CBT is a highly effective and evidence-based therapy approach that focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors. By helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and actions, CBT empowers them to develop more adaptive coping mechanisms and improve their overall well-being.
ACT helps individuals cultivate psychological flexibility by embracing their thoughts and feelings rather than struggling against them. By focusing on values and taking committed action, clients learn to live more fully in the present moment and create a life aligned with their deepest aspirations.
Mindfulness is a core component of many therapeutic approaches, cultivating present-moment awareness and non-judgmental observation of thoughts, feelings, and sensations. By developing mindfulness skills, clients can increase self-awareness, reduce stress and anxiety, and cultivate greater emotional regulation and well-being.
