Therapists in Florida

My individualized and pro-active approach helps create a supportive environment where clients can feel comfortable addressing life’s challenges through a strength based, solution focused and change oriented approach. It also helps people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds develop self-awareness, self-confidence and see life from a different perspective in order for them to believe in themselves and cope effectively with emotional, behavioral and stress-related problems. My therapeutic approach involves understanding how the patient’s past impacts their current level of functioning and then through this self-awareness, help them make healthier decisions today in order to reach their full potential and live mentally, physically and spiritually healthier lives.

Are you struggling with challenges that affect your emotional health and wellbeing? Do past experiences feel like they're limiting your potential? Are you looking for a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings? I'm a licensed psychotherapist who believes the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful catalyst for change. My goal is to partner with you toward your desired goals in a supportive, collaborative environment — working together to foster positive change and build strategies for self-empowerment. I'm trained in EMDR therapy, based on the idea that our brains have a natural system for processing experiences so we can retain what serves our growth. When disturbing experiences overwhelm that system — or we lack the context to make sense of what happened — the effects can linger. EMDR uses bilateral (left-right) stimulation to activate the brain's natural processing system, helping you work through difficult experiences and release what no longer serves you. I believe our past shapes our present and future, in both adaptive and maladaptive ways. I'd be honored to help you on your journey toward inner peace, self-love, and fulfillment.

As a therapist, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and practical space where clients can explore what they are experiencing, better understand their thoughts and emotions, and develop healthier ways of coping, communicating, and making decisions. I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, relationship stress, life transitions, grief, family concerns, and personal growth issues. My approach is compassionate, structured, and collaborative. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, strengths-based counseling, psychoeducation, and relationship-centered approaches to help clients gain insight and apply practical tools in their everyday lives. At the heart of my work is the belief that people can heal, grow, and build more meaningful lives and relationships when they are given the right support, guidance, and encouragement.

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels both supportive and collaborative. My goal is to provide a safe space where clients can process trauma, explore challenges, and build the skills they need to live more fully. I offer psychotherapy, therapeutic assessments, and specialized interventions designed to meet each client’s unique needs. Whether you are navigating life transitions, managing mental health concerns, or seeking greater clarity in your relationships, I aim to help you feel understood and empowered.

Together, we can build on your existing strengths and experiences to create meaningful change and improve your quality of life.

I understand what it feels like to develop a bond and the challenges with sustaining such bonds. I also understand seeking growth spiritually when there’s so much temptation and triggers that seem to pull me away for my goals. With that, these experiences are what hopefully keep me humble, motivated, and grateful.

Hi, I’m Kim, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addiction Counselor (CAC) with over 15 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, substance use concerns, and difficult life transitions. I am trained in EMDR and have a particular interest in helping clients process painful experiences and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe and manageable. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. I believe meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, respected, and free from judgment. Together, we can explore how past experiences, relationships, thoughts, emotions, and patterns of substance use or other coping behaviors may be affecting your life while developing healthier ways of coping and responding. I integrate EMDR with evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My work emphasizes emotional regulation, self-awareness, healthy boundaries, communication, self-compassion, and practical coping skills. When addressing substance use, I provide a nonjudgmental space to explore triggers, motivation for change, underlying emotional needs, and healthier strategies for managing stress and difficult emotions. I recognize that trauma, grief, mental health concerns, and substance use can be interconnected. Painful experiences may influence how we see ourselves, relate to others, and cope with distress. I approach this work with careful attention to emotional safety, preparation, stabilization, and readiness. Therapy does not need to be rushed. I value building a genuine therapeutic relationship where you can feel comfortable exploring difficult experiences, recognizing your strengths, and making meaningful changes that feel realistic and sustainable. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you better understand what you are carrying, and support you in building greater confidence, resilience, healthier coping strategies, and trust in yourself as you move forward.

"Support for the woman who constantly cares for others. If you feel overwhelmed and stretched thin, I’m here to help you regain your balance and well-being." My calling to this work comes from my own experience of holding everything in, carrying the weight of caring for others, and hiding my own exhaustion. For a long time, I understood what it meant to keep going even when I needed a break, to put others' needs before my own, and to believe I had to handle everything on my own. Through my own growth and continued practice, I have learned the importance of self-care, self-compassion, and giving myself permission to slow down. I've learned that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, and that taking a break does not mean I'm falling behind. These experiences have deepened my passion for helping other women who find themselves caught in the same cycle of giving, doing, and carrying-while quietly putting their own needs last. I believe you can care deeply for the people you love without losing yourself in the process. ​

Hi, my name is Vanessa, and I’m a licensed therapist based in Florida. I specialize in supporting individuals through trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. With over six years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse group of clients as they navigate life changes, heal from past experiences, and face mental health challenges. I provide culturally responsive and compassionate care by meeting clients where they are—personally and emotionally. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership, and I value building a strong therapeutic relationship where we collaborate on your goals. My experience includes working with a wide range of concerns such as interpersonal challenges, family dynamics, racial and ethnic identity issues, and adjustment disorders. No matter what brings you to therapy, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to grow.

As a passionate and direct therapist, I am dedicated to guiding my clients towards breakthrough moments and empowering them with the tools to navigate life's challenges. I take pride in fostering an environment of trust and open communication, where clients feel safe to explore their emotions and experiences. Through active listening and empathy, I work collaboratively with individuals to identify unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior, while equipping them with healthy coping skills. My approach is rooted in compassion and authenticity, as I believe in the transformative power of self-awareness and self-compassion. Witnessing my clients achieve personal growth and resilience is not only fulfilling but reaffirms my commitment to facilitating positive change in their lives.

I’m Diana Ries, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience in counseling and healthcare. I offer a compassionate, direct, and results-focused approach that helps clients get to the root of emotional and relational struggles. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space, provide practical tools, and help clients leave with clarity, confidence, and hope in healing.

We can have difficulties after experiencing a traumatic event. At times, we can feel numb, depressed or unable to regulate our emotions while navigating through life. For parents, it can be overwhelming for children dealing with behavioral issues and/or emotional problems. You are not alone! Here at Helping Hands, I guide my clients to unpack the core of their trauma and experience healing through the word of God. As a trained therapist, I empower my clients with tools that they can apply according to the word of God and receive healing through Jesus Christ. My counseling modalities are Christian Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Play therapy. I work with children and adolescents with abandonment, PTSD, depression, and oppositional defiant/ behavioral issues. I work with adults (females only) with unresolved childhood trauma, anxiety, parental wounds, generational cycles, spiritual issues, narcissism abuse, emotional abandonment, relationship issues, sexual abuse and depression. I am a Master's Level Licensed Mental Health Counselor with training in Trauma Work.

I decided to be a counselor because I understood the importance of someone who looks like me doing this work. My goal is to create an open and affirming space for everyone including, Black bodies, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those creating healthy non-traditional relationships. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma are common issues that can impact your day to day lives and close relationships no matter your background. By the end of therapy, you will be more confident in speaking up for yourself and creating healthy boundaries. I utilize a strength-based approach that combines different therapeutic modalities that address generational trauma, negative self-talk, and strategies to improve your mood. I tend to tailor treatment to each individual to fit who they are and their needs.
