DBT Therapists in Florida

One of my biggest passions in life is helping women, overcome past hurts, failures, ineffective communication, and self-defeating behaviors, which limits their forward momentum. I also work with young adults and men, as they grapple with challenges such as: communication difficulties, boundary issues and life transitions. I help my clients explore childhood experiences, defense mechanisms, and survival tools that once worked, but as adults, they are disruptive to their adult self and relationships. I am here to listen and help you find ways to walk in your authentic self, no longer bound by guilt and shame. I strive to create a compassionate atmosphere, judgment free and safe space, as you work through depression, anxiety, disappointment, low self-esteem, co-dependency and other issues that can be debilitating. I empower, encourage, listen and help you identify your values. I appreciate this new reality where mental health is no longer being swept under the carpet, instead people are coming out to tell their stories and are seeking assistance to deal with their hurts and pain. If you are ready to work with someone as you tackle these issues and you are ready to exhale and be able to say, "At Last I'm Free" take your first step, pick up the phone and schedule a consultation with me. You don't have to walk this healing journey alone, just be ready to do the work!

Hello, I am Viktoria. Life doesn't always go as planned, and transitions, illness, and trauma are rarely anticipated. Are you struggling with self-defeating patterns that are causing depression, anxiety, and /or a feeling of being stuck? Do you want to make changes in your personal and professional life? Do you have challenges in your relationship? Individuals have unique and individual needs, which should be recognized. Most of the time, you will be able to handle the situation with the help of your friends and family or on your own. There are times when you might need professional guidance and support to learn specific techniques to help you manage your thoughts and feelings. An important aspect of therapy is the opportunity to explore feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, grief, and shame, and to begin the process of creating positive and lasting changes. This takes place in a non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship based on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. My style is calm, warm, and relaxed, and I believe in creating a safe environment for you in which compassion, support, and humor can flourish. Together, we can gain insight and understanding of the relationships between emotions, core beliefs and behaviors in order to find solutions to the problems you are facing.

Although I am trained in CBT and DBT these interventions are only a part of my integrative approach to treatment. Client-centered care remains at the center of treatment; as there is not one single intervention that is best for all. Your treatment is yours, together we will create a treatment plan that empowers you.

My name is Willard and I am a licensed counselor in several states. My practice primarily focuses on helping others deal with ambiguity. Often our thoughts and subsequently what we teach ourselves becomes rigid and fairly black and white.

This is primarily accomplished through conversation and allowing you the client to guide the therapy in the direction it needs to go.
