St. Petersburg, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Struggling to be kind to yourself? Difficulties keeping up with your relationships, work, and health? Looking for some guidance on finding meaning and making the most of your life? Are there obstacles in your path, past traumas, anxiety, or other stressors holding you back from being your best self? Allow me to be a compassionate counselor, healer, and guide on your life journey. I will empower you to identify and achieve your goals through a client-centered, humanistic approach tailored to your needs. My background includes clients working through issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, guilt, fears, terminal and chronic illnesses, spirituality, self-esteem, career and life uncertainties, addictions, and those just looking for an empathetic ear to listen or offer helpful feedback. Many psychotherapists attempt to use their preferred modality as a "one size fits all" treatment. While I stay up-to-date and am able to offer the current and most effective evidence-based modalities, including CBT, ACT, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based therapy, I believe the therapeutic relationship between us is the most valuable tool. Together, we will craft and develop the best custom plan for your needs and desires, incorporating the therapeutic techniques we deem most useful for you. Join me in a completely safe, judgment-free, and confidential space to share, heal, smile, grow, succeed, laugh, and become your best self. No better time than the present to create your desired future, schedule an appointment with me today.

Tampa, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Life can sometimes be overbearing and the daily obligations and responsibilities can cause emotional strains that often weighs you down. Navigating through life’s challenges can place you on a road block with the uncertainty of which direction you should go. Taking the first step in the direction of therapy can allow you to use your internal compass in unveiling what we may never have known could exist within us - courage. In our journey together, you will gain insight into your strengths, values, and priorities while also exploring new adaptive coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.

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 40 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.

Welcome! I am Robyn. These days many people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and depressed. Sometimes they feel as if no matter what they do, it isn't enough and either they or those around them are never happy with themselves. How about you? Are you trying to manage to be the best parent, spouse, and employee that you can be? Are you struggling with a recent life transition or the loss of a loved one or relationship? Are you lying awake at night reviewing the list of things you think you should have accomplished? Or are you ruminating on what you said to someone, how you said it, and what you should have done differently? You are not alone! Many people experience these feelings and you do not have to continue to feel like this! You CAN FEEL BETTER! I work with adults of all ages who are struggling with these things by providing a safe space to talk about and work through these issues. I strive to empower them to discern their strengths, their priorities, and the barriers to feeling better. Once we’ve done that, I help them find ways to address those barriers and build new coping skills they can use to overcome the challenges of anxiety, depression, managing change, and people-pleasing. Change is not easy! I am impressed by your courage in taking the first step of asking for help to start your journey toward feeling better! You deserve to have someone skilled and trustworthy to guide you to grow and heal. I will compassionately work with you using evidence-based techniques to get beyond the challenges you are experiencing and on the road to feeling better! I’d love to have the privilege of working with you!

Tampa, FL - Accepting clients in FL

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.

Boulevard Heights, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 20 years of experience working with diverse individuals in the community, private practice, and residential substance abuse treatment. Never in a million years did I ever think providing counseling to individuals, couples, families, and groups, would be the career to captivate my heart….but it is! My specialties are working with clients who may be suffering from traumatic incidents, substance abuse, various forms of anxiety (PTSD, stress disorders), depression, self-esteem, and gender identity. Making the decision to receive any form of mental health counseling can be taxing, however, the results are often positive and rewarding. Learning to face your fears in a healthy and appropriate manner is a sign of growth and maturity. It is not an easy task. You will cry, laugh, and maybe feel a little uncomfortable at times. This is just the therapeutic process working to make you emotionally stronger. *Please note that my preference for treatment sessions are individual and group therapy. However, I do provide a limited number of couples or family therapy sessions for special circumstances.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in a deep respect for each person’s unique story and cultural context.

My goal is to meet clients where they are and walk alongside them as they reconnect with their values, inner strengths, and sense of self.

I treat all my clients with the utmost respect and compassion. I use motivational skills to help my patients see their strengths and help them create achievable goals. I believe in breaking the big goal into smaller goals that lead to meeting that larger goal. I believe this creates positive reinforcement for my clients and improves their emotional health, during what could be a difficult time in their life. I look forward to helping you improve your mental health, one step at a time. I have 6 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictions and co-occurring.

My name is Armenta Acevedo. I'm a licensed mental health counselor who is passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges. Experiencing personal transformations can bring both liberation and joy, but they can also cause upheaval and stress. Every day, we go through a series of small revolutions, realizations, adjustments, and changes that expand and contract our beings. As a mental health practitioner, my goal is to create a safe and trusting environment where individuals can release, process, unpack, and unwind. Essentially, it's a space to breathe. It's crucial to learn to show yourself kindness and compassion, even if you struggle with feeling deserving of it. Because you truly do deserve the best life has to offer!
