Therapists in Florida

Hi! I'm Eliyahu, I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 6 years of experience practicing therapy for clients with a variety of different mental health related issues, including anxiety struggles, relationship conflict, child/adolescent issues, and more. I will utilize my combined background as a teacher, youth mentor, and therapist to develop a personal relationship with you, trying to understand how you see your life and the world, while helping you build insight, as well as teaching you relevant skills to work through life's challenges.

I am a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors. I use evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness to help clients navigate difficult experiences, reduce symptoms, and build lasting coping skills. My compassionate, client-centered approach creates a safe space for self-exploration, emotional healing, and personal growth, empowering clients to regain balance, resilience, and a greater sense of well-being.

I have been a clinical mental health therapist and behavior analyst for children and adults. I have treated and helped people with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, problems with motivation and other life issues unique to each person. I have worked in schools, outpatient practices and homes. My experience has led to form a unique and diverse system for identifying and assessing challenging behavior patterns. I value the human experience and understand that just because a problem is identified, change is not automatic. Understanding the patterns that maintain behavior and thinking patterns can take asking the right questions and exploring unique alternatives to those patterns.

I have over 20 years experience in the mental health field. I started out in education and I enjoyed that field, but I wanted to work more one on one with people. I would say that being human can be hard, but change is possible. I support wellness. The sessions you attend with me are for your total well-being. You can call them your well-being sessions. Your body, mind, and essence Each session you attend is like an investment in yourself. I provide examples, homework, and support resources in video and text. I know you matter and I am invested in helping humans be their best.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Provider/ Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Florida. I graduated with a Master in Clinical Social Work (MSW) from Florida Gulf Coast University. Before my studies at FGCU, I was in the rental business and felt that I was in my calling when I did volunteer work helping people in the US and abroad. After much thought and consulting with family and friends, I decided I wanted to work more hands on helping hurting people through counseling. My philosophy is ultimately to make a difference in the world by helping hurting people.

What would it feel like to be heard, to know that you are valued and cared about and to believe that there is real hope for your future? Are you struggling, anxious, grieving, overwhelmed? You are not alone. Life is really hard right now. You deserve self care and support. Difficult and painful experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. As both a Wisconsin and Florida licensed mental health counselor (LPC, LMHC), I offer you a safe place to talk about and explore all those concerns.

It's okay not to be OK sometimes, to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or even depressed. Still, these feelings can make it difficult to maintain healthy relationships and to feel like the best version of ourselves. The good news is that you're not alone, and seeking help is an important step, which I commend you for taking! I want you to know I am here to support you as a caring and trained professional. A veces esta bien no estar "bien." Quiero que sepas que es comun batallar con estos sentimientos abrumadores, ansiosos o incluso deprimentes. Aun asi, estos sentimientos pueden hacer dificil el tener relaciones saludables y ser la mejor versión de nosotros mismos. Pero sepa que no está solo. Buscar ayuda es un paso importante y lo felicito por dar este importante paso. Quiero que sepas que estoy aquí para apoyarte.

Sometimes people experience emotional problems (e.g., anxiety, depression), behavioral problems (e.g., overeating, smoking), or relationship problems (e.g., excessive arguing, poor communication) that interfere with their daily functioning. These difficulties result from the interaction of biological, learning, behavioral, and environmental factors, which influence patterns of thinking and behaving. Negative life events can contribute to the development of self-defeating patterns of thinking and behaving, which some people can have difficulty changing. In my work, which I have been practicing for 42 years, I help people identify these self-defeating patterns and develop strategies for dealing with them. I emphasize the importance of practicing these strategies consistently, with the goal of handling emotions more effectively and behaving in more responsible and healthy ways. I focus on life pattern changes with respect to relationships, depression, anxiety, anger control, impulse control, and stress management.

Thank you for taking time to learn a little about me. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Addictions Professional with over 28 years of counseling experience in clinical, private and educational settings. I practice Client-centered therapy. For those who are unfamiliar with Client-centered therapy it is based on the practice that the CLIENT is best able to decide what to explore and mark as a goal of treatment. I empower all my clients without compromising empathy. Whatever the reason any individual, couple, or family comes to me, I challenge their skillset to solve problems and restore resolve; not simply provide short-term solutions. The first step to achieve this is to build a rapport with essential empathy and unconditional positive regard. I believe in relationships. Seems a little elementary but one's physical, mental, and overall wellness is dependent on relations that we have with each other. No matter how large or small one's family is, and/or social circle we were all meant to establish and grow relationships. No level of true self-reflection would escape this fact. I witnessed this to be true in all of my clients as with myself. I currently reside Central Florida with my wife, son, and three daughters. As a family we enjoy an active lifestyle supportive of one another and the family dynamic. I welcome the opportunity to work with you, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
