Licensed to practice in Florida and accepts 50 insurances. Specializes in Couples Counseling, Trauma and PTSD, Women's Issues and 7 more.
Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in the State of Florida and I have Master's degrees in both Counseling and Psychology and in Biblical Studies and Theological Foundations. I have been practicing for 14 years and assisted numerous clients with pre-marital counseling, marriage and family challenges, and individual counseling. I also facilitate groups around topics that are relevant to strengthening relationships.
In the first session, clients can expect an exchange of information to establish a therapeutic alliance and what therapy entails. The client will also be able to talk about the presenting problem and articulate his or her main goal to achieve in the process.
As a provider, I seek to establish a safe zone for the client to speak while helping them to identify the root cause of the problem and develop a treatment plan with goals and objectives established by the client.
I have worked with individuals and couples in various aspects of relationship and through life events such as trauma, grief and loss, and marriage and divorce. I am committed to helping clients learn and implement communication and conflict resolution skills to enhance relationships.

Experiential Therapy
I utilize a collaborative approach with clients, helping them to gain personal insight regarding themselves and their current challenges. With this approach, clients view their experiences in a more positive manner and from a different perspective, resulting in understanding and acceptance of themselves.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Employing cognitive behavioral therapy can be an effective tool to help clients understand the connection between cognition (thoughts), affect (emotions), and behaviors (actions). This understanding helps clients to make better decisions to achieve better outcomes.
Couples Counseling
A foundational skill in relationship is communication. Many times couples are not able to communicate assertively and effectively, causing repeated rehearsal of the symptoms without identifying the root issue. Utilizing assertive communication provides an avenue to resolve long time disputes resulting in conflict resolution.
Faith based therapy
Faith based therapy affirms clients' beliefs and helps them to recognize that their challenges are not unresolvable. Given the opportunity to state the challenges being experienced and helping to interpret them according to their beliefs promotes relief and a renewal of hope.

My first session with Theda went great. She's very warm, is a good listener and was very compassionate about my life journey. I'm excited about working with Theda to resolve some of the things I'm dealing with in this crazy journey of life!

I have been working with Ms. Theda since 2016. She always challenge me to think outside the box, think of myself and value what is important, which is me.
