I have worked as a Mental Health Therapist for 30 years and I love my work as much today as the day I started. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Certified Addictions Professional. I am honored to join people where they are at on their journey. I focus on positive goals for getting back on track or even transformation. As I realize the courage it takes to come to therapy, I focus on the patient/therapist relationship. There must first be an experience of safety and trust. Then, of course, the therapeutic work will follow. I utilize a warm, relaxed style with fierce reflection or gentle support as needed. I believe that everyone benefits from a therapeutic experience to attain the best version of themselves for the best quality of life. 1 utilize humor combined with therapeutic skills which makes my approach unique. Laughter isn't always appropriate, but it can be very helpful with reframing and bringing down barriers. With so many years of experience and training, I have a broad skill set and utilize multiple interventions to create a unique treatment plan for each person, couple, or family. Some of the modalities that I frequently utilize are: Solution- Focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psycho-education, Systems Theory, Emotion Focused Therapy, Behavioral Modification, Skills training and Motivational interviewing/coaching.

Do you feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious or have limitations in your ability to function presently? With 33 years of clinical experience, I have a significant number of skills and methods to help. Not everyone benefits fully from only one or even two therapy methods. I tailor my skills and interventions to each person depending on their needs, problems and comfort. Different therapy methods are researched as to the best outcomes based on what symptoms you are struggling with. I follow the research and start with the approaches that are well-studied and show the best results. If you are not feeling better after a few sessions, we discuss this openly and I introduce you to a different approach. I look at therapy as a combined effort with both of us working together to meet your personal goals. While I guide you, your feedback is regularly requested so you are benefiting. You will find that I am very honest, direct, non-judgmental, compassionate and genuine in my desire to help my clients.

Feeling invisible, disconnected, or emotionally numb? You're not alone. As a licensed mental health counselor, many of my clients are overwhelmed with balancing societal expectations with personal and cultural values. Others carry the weight of childhood or intergenerational trauma. Some struggle with feelings of impostor syndrome in their careers and academically. Many struggle to cultivate healthy relationships, both with themselves and others.

Stress, anger, depression, and anxiety can really impact your overall functioning and quality of life. Are you facing issues that you need help to work through? Do you have a life goal that you would like to achieve? Is it difficult to adjust to lifestyle changes? I recognize that our problems seldom exist in a bubble and that more often than not they are a direct reflection of our upbringing, past trauma, and/or our environment. Clients often cherish my ability to balance warmth and unconditional positive regard with challenging maladaptive beliefs. Investing in counseling can yield long-term rewards to influence healing, intimacy, and wholeness. Acquiring necessary tools for healthy growth can be invaluable to achieving an authenticity of self. We will endeavor to enhance your life through increased self-awareness, personal growth, and self-acceptance utilizing the modality most beneficial to you. Deciding to go to therapy may be a difficult decision. However, therapy can help you process complex emotions and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others. Therapy can also help you learn new ways of coping, especially during a pandemic. I welcome the opportunity to meet you and I'm honored by your consideration to allow me to journey with you.

My name is Andrea Taylor, LCSW. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) and Certified Specialist in Anger Management (CSAM) based in the Tampa, Florida area. My experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your personal struggles. I believe we can all grow through challenging experiences through self-awareness. We all want to be able to share our personal truths and be accepted and understood. I believe it's very important to be open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story or experiences. I've worked with individuals and couples who have a variety of personal issues such as anger management, depression, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), family problems, relationship/parenting, grief/bereavement, infertility, life-threatening illnesses and more.

I am a licensed mental health counselor committed to helping individuals reclaim their lives. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors and symptoms that are standing in the way of the life you want to live. I believe everyone, regardless of the obstacle, has the ability and internal fortitude to overcome adversity and reach their goals. I spend several years working in a specialized women's program where I learned the importance of addressing mental health and trauma in setting the foundation for change. “Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood and untreated cause of human suffering.”-Peter Levine I want to bring that same philosophy of addressing these underlying causes to my practice, helping you remove the barriers to your best life! I am passionate about helping people build a strong, stable mental health foundation. I make it a priority to empower Women, and really enjoy working with those who are struggling with women related issues and post-partum mood and anxiety disorders.

Going to therapy was one of the hardest journeys I have taken in life. Getting over the fear of being judged, labeled, and uncomfortable were the hardest parts. My experience in receiving therapy has given me insight to what it’s like on the other side of the couch and motivated me to provide the best clinical care possible. While the journey may be difficult to start, it is one that will never be in vain. Congratulations on taking your first step.

Hello, my name is Marcus. I am passionate about therapy and fulfilled professionally by helping my clients accomplish their goals. I understand that counseling can be intimidating, however, I try to ease the experience by providing a chill atmosphere that is like talking to a friend. The major difference between counseling with me and talking to a friend is our conversations are confidential and I am trained to help process your thoughts. My role as your counselor is not to judge or condemn your actions. My goal is to help you understand yourself and your actions and help you improve in the area you’d like to grow. My background in EMS allows me to handle stressful situations and empathize with other firefighters, paramedics, law enforcement, military, nurses, and public service workers.

Hello, it will soon be great to meet you as you visit my Grow Therapy Provider Profile. I'm Jacqueline Gibb, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I work with all ages in the Tampa FL area. You can meet with me for an in-office visit or teletherapy. I enjoy working with clients who feel they struggle with a wide range of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, focus and concentration issues, ADHD, and obsessive-compulsive disorder to name a few. It can be frustrating when an individual is struggling emotionally with more negative than positive feelings and it can keep an individual feeling stuck in their emotional pain. I have diligently studied the understanding of the amygdala in the brain and how the amygdala and hippocampus interprets emotional, physical, and sexual abuse that can keep a person feeling that they can't break free from the negative memories of their past. Also, these painful memories will continue to remind individuals of the traumatic event(s) they went through. Remember, you're not alone and you are valuable. The trainings that I've received can move you forward toward your life goals and the good news is that you and I working together to reduce the negative thoughts and feelings you have had to suffer through. Now, you can obtain the sense of belonging and joy you deserve in this life without negative thoughts and feelings popping up in your head when you least expect them. I also believe psychoeducation is an important part of the healing process. This helps you to understand certain types of thinking patterns and behavior reactions the human brain does and how you can reduce and stop those type of negative feelings as you move forward with healing. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating individuals with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I work with all faith denominations, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. It takes courage to reach for a more fulfilling and happier life! By making an appointment with me, you're taking the first brave step towards change. If you're ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you to move boldly into your future! I look forward to working with you, together, we can get your life back on track! Don't forget, believe in yourself, and remember "You Are Valuable."
