Life gets hard. Sometimes we have to fight. Sometimes we need help making things make sense. Sometimes we need a little encouragement and motivation. Sometimes we just need to talk and someone to listen. Sometimes we just need to understand that we are not alone in whatever it is we are going through, and whatever challenges we are facing. If you are looking for help finding that light at the end of the tunnel or help navigating this thing called life, I'm here for you. Hello and welcome. My name is Sametris. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in FL I have been providing mental health services in the community and prison/jail setting for about 9 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety, anger issues, family and relationship issues, life changes, and grief, as well as include schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder. I have helped people with addiction issues and histories of trauma and abuse. I look forward to working with you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with a brief interview. I would like to learn a little about you and what brought you to therapy and I would like to tell you a little about me. I want to make sure that our expectations for our sessions align so that I can better help you on your journey.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My approach includes person-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, existential therapy and solution-focused therapy. I like to meet people where they are and tailor treatment to meet specific needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my favorite quotes is "Treat yourself like someone you're responsible for taking care of." Self-care is important. If we don't care for ourselves, how can we effectively care for the people around us? I want everyone to be able to experience the joy that life brings. We all deserve a piece of happiness. Even at our lowest points, and darkest times, there is something to look forward to. There is still light at the end of the tunnel. The sun is always shining somewhere. Let's work together to find it.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with clients who are ready to do the work, ask and answer the tough questions, take a good hard look at themselves, and HEAL. Help me Help you! Therapy is team work. It is a collective effort. Let's do this together.
