I’m Yshkeyna Hamilla (pronounced “EEsh-key-na Ha-mee-ya”), a whole-person-health woman therapist in East central Florida for 20+ years. My favorite things to do are help people : - Reduce stress and anxiety; build confidence, self esteem; - Sort out and heal communication and relationship concerns, with experience as a conflict resolution mediator for a county court in Florida. - Heal successfully & rapidly from loss/ grief/ trauma/ PTSD- past or recent; - Help especially with women’s issues and LGBTQ interests; - I also have a background in guided meditations, yoga, and spirituality for those so inspired. I'm skilled in a wide range of extremely successful therapies, especially the newer advanced ones that facilitate an easier, more successful life shift. These include everything from the old traditional CBT (changing your thinking = have different feelings), to NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming), A.R.T. (an eye movement therapy like EMDR, for easier, deeper, more rapid healing), Gestalt, Hypnotherapy, EFT, The Landmark Forum Advance courses, and guided meditations. I have also run recovery groups specializing in helping people from problems due to addiction in their family (self esteem, ACOA and codependency, etc.). In addition to being versed in many different therapeutic approaches over the last 20+ years, I am very holistic, integrating care and empowering your whole self- Mentally, Emotionally, Physically and Spiritually. As a therapist I have been described as kind, gentle, yet honest, insightful and direct, able to get to the heart of the matter and of what matters the most to you. Our work together can be amazingly encouraging, healing, freeing, and uplifting. Occasionally seeing humor & synchronicity in your life helps too. I work with all ages, usually from 16 - 99, and love helping with the many changes that work, relationships, and life changes bring.
We start wherever you would like to start, and can go one step at a time. We can sort through what you’ve been dealing with and what you’d most like help with. Also whatever is most urgent for you. There are no wrong questions or concerns. If you are eager, we can also get directly into whatever you most want help with. It’s whatever you want to do. You are safe, and I care a lot! What would you like heal or improve in your self, your life? Feel free to come with a list, or just show up as your are. Your healing and help starts the first day we meet.
I am able to help using a rich range of extremely successful therapies, especially the newer advanced ones that facilitate an easier, more successful life shift. These include everything from the old traditional CBT (changing your thinking to get different feeling results), to NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming), A.R.T. (an eye movement therapy like EMDR, for easier, deeper, more rapid healing and progress), Gestalt, Hypnotherapy, EFT, The Landmark Forum Advance courses, and guided meditations. I enjoy transforming relationship concerns and conflicts for couples, families, neighbors, business relationships, LGBTQ & other relationships into ones that are mutually healthy, supportive and empowering. In addition to being versed in many different therapeutic skills and issues over the last 20+ years, I am very holistic, integrating care and uplifting for the your whole self- Mentally, Emotionally, Physically and Spiritually, as needed and in whatever ways you would like. Most important of all I am an empath and I truly care.
In addition to traditional counseling methods including talk therapy, CBT, NLP, Guided De-Stress mediations, Mindfulness, and Gestalt, I work with a special rapid trauma-healing method called Advanced Trauma Resolution ("ART"). It is very much like EMDR, but it is immediately effective, takes less sessions to heal each trauma, grief issue, or phobia, etc.., and leaves the person feeling calm and with mental peace. With this ART leading-edge eye-movement process, is no longer necessary to spend 6-12 months or years talking about a trauma or loss in years of talk therapy when it can usually be significantly healed in just 1-3 sessions.
Each of us is a whole person- Our thoughts, feelings, actions, and spirituality are all important aspects of YOU- all integrated (including whatever form of higher consciousness you relate best to) I have found that we have the greatest success comes with working with the whole person- all the different levels of your concerns and life areas. In whatever way is tailored exactly to YOU. By working with you physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being (whatever that is for YOU), you can have much more satisfying whole-person sense of well-being and satisfaction in your life. We can work with all the traditional forms of therapy, as well as guided meditations for reducing stress, anxiety, and mind-chatter, inner child therapy, and Mindfulness skills to be able to take things less personally, begin to feel greater freedom to make progress, meet more of your healthiness, success, and happiness goals. Let's begin, one step at a time. It can be easier than you thought!
With my background in NLP, Hypnotherapy, and Gestalt Therapies, we can integrate these special rich healing resources to begin your subconscious' helping you heal instead of running silent programs in the background that have been undermining your confidence, success, prosperity, relationships. These tools bring deeper level, interesting, creative, and surprisingly helpful healing possibilities and successes that regular talk-therapies miss entirely.
