Feeling depressed, anxious, hopeless? You're at the point that you've tried everything you can think of and nothing has worked? Are you feeling more and more stressed? Whether a long-standing mental health problem or something that has just cropped up, interfering with your important relationships and daily activities, I can help by introducing solutions and supporting you as you work your way to the life you want. A lot of times, simple changes in the way you communicate with your significant others can improve bad relationships quickly, improve your self-esteem, and get you back on the path of accomplishing your life goals. My name is Dr. James Benedick and I have been helping people identify and achieve their life goals for the past 46 years. In the process, my clients have learned to control their thinking, reduce unnecessary stress in their lives, build the satisfying relationships that they are searching for, and learn how to act on real threats and control irrational fears and anxieties. I am a licensed clinical social worker with degrees in Social Work and Counseling Psychology and a proven track record.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida with 6 years of experience in the field. I earned both my bachelor's and master's degrees from Austin Peay State University.

I have experience with helping those in crisis, with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, personality disorders, mood disorders, and more. Do you feel stuck in a cycle of being disconnected or feeling too much? I help people with similar issues to create a balance in their mind, body, and spirit. I would like to applaud you for taking the first step in seeking help, it is not always the easiest thing to do.

I am caring, compassionate, and a very good listener. I am a Christian, wife of a Veteran, mother, and grandmother. My heritage is Caribbean-American. I grew up in South Florida with four sisters and two brothers. I was very independent at a very young age and willing to help out wherever. I am a musician starting with piano in elementary school, then clarinet in middle school, and bass clarinet and bassoon in high school. I love music and find it beneficial in every aspect of life. I decided to grow my family before pursuing a career. I decided to pursue a career in the mental health field because of a family member being diagnosed with a severe mental health disorder. I earned my AA in Psychology, then a dual degree in Psychology and Behavioral Science. After my undergrad, I went on to receive my master's in social work. I have worked with Veterans, homeless, hospice, young adults, children, elders, couples and individuals with severe mental health diagnoses. In my pursuit to help my family member, I became even more passionate about mental health and reducing the negative stigma attached to it. This passion I share with everyone I encounter.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in the field for 10 years. I've been Licensed for 5 years. I have experience working with a range of people and different ages. I've been trained in Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Circle of Security Parenting, and have worked with young children, adolescents, and adults. I have been doing agency work for the past 10 years as well. I've worked with clients with substance use issues in the child welfare system, high risk adolescents, in the school system, and adult outpatient. I believe in treating a person holistically and drawing from strengths that they may already possess. With this approach, clients are able to help uncover their abilities, use their support system or gain assistance in developing one, and make long-lasting changes. I use a variety of evidence based practices that draw from CBT, solution focused, ACT, and DBT, and others. I also take a trauma informed approach. I have a goal of owning my own practice but set up as a therapeutic coffee shop. I am available in person and via telehealth on evenings and weekends only.

I decided to become a therapist after a time in my own life in which I could not find a relatable provider. Trust me, I understand that psychotherapy and taking the first step in initiating services can often feel awkward or almost even scary. But, the personal work you do in therapy can be one of the most rewarding efforts you can undertake. Grief, complex relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, career and life dissatisfaction, life adjustments, and intimacy and sexuality amongst so many other things can all be reasons to talk to a professional such as myself. Seeking a deeper understanding of yourself and intentionally pursuing a more fulfilling life are essential journeys to take to reach your fullest potential in every area of your life.

It is a brave choice to seek therapy to cope with life’s stressors, but you are worth it. Whether you’ve been through a traumatic experience, struggling with relationships, or trying to find peace within yourself, I can work along side you to begin the healing process. I will give you the space to share and process your experiences, thoughts, and feelings with me openly without judgement. In addition to actively listening, I will help you develop and strengthen your tools to help you achieve inner peace and self-growth. When life feels overwhelming and you are just “going through the motions,” we can work together to remind you what brings you joy and re-discover your purpose. I will use the most appropriate therapeutic approach tailored to your individual needs and help change negative thinking patterns and avoid you getting in your own way. Sometimes a shift in perspective can make all the difference, and as a team, we can look at problems through a different lens.
