Are you struggling? You have tried different ways to manage life but you are at a place where it seems like you are spinning your wheels. Let's Talk. Most people begin therapy when they are not living the life they want. Maybe depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem are the culprits. You may have had a relationship that didn't work out, a traumatic experience that has changed how you see the world, or you want to change but don't know how. I'm Katie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy to those who hope there's a light at the end of the tunnel, but need some help getting there. We'll spend time together understanding your pain and struggles so you can learn new skills that work for you to create a better future. My practice is open evenings and weekends to better serve the clients who need support outside of the workday.

Jacksonville, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I have specialized in working with individuals and couples who are interested in a deep, transformative experience that resolves core issues, not just symptoms. My work is unique compared to many other therapists because I go beyond a strictly cognitive approach. I use a holistic approach that includes Psychodynamic (childhood issues), Somatic (body-oriented), Couples Systems, Meditative (Mindful) practices, Life Coaching and HMR (Holographic Memory Resolution) Techniques. HMR is a leading edge mind-body therapy that allows expedient access to past memories and complete resolution of the painful emotions associated with these events without having to relive them. My deep understanding of the interrelationship between mind, body and spirit allows for healing all facets of the human energy system. My client's often resolve and change deep seated negative patterns and cognitions resulting in a greater capacity for intimacy, joy, inner peace and confidence. My style is warm, interactive yet, direct and to the point. I will help you navigate towards the life you prefer to be living. I especially enjoy working with young adults, adults, and couples going through a major life transition, recovering from trauma or, looking for renewed meaning and direction.

Deltona, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Hello there, I'm Liz! I work with clients who are wanting to heal from past trauma experiences and get to the root causes of their struggles. Trauma changes the way you view yourself, others, and the world. It often has lasting impacts that can be manifested in your current struggles with anxiety, depression, true fulfillment in relationships, diminished executive functioning, and difficulty with honoring your needs and boundaries. My goal is to help you gain insight, build self-awareness, and foster personal growth. Some areas of focus I enjoy addressing with my clients include boundary building, negative core beliefs, strengthening internal validation, self-care, identifying trauma responses, addressing attachment wounds, aligning to your values, improving daily functioning, and developing healthy coping strategies. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic models and techniques to help my clients including but not limited to Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Polyvagal Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. For those who desire and request it, I can integrate Christian-based counseling into the therapeutic process. I believe education/knowledge of what you are going through sets the foundation to the therapeutic work you will be doing.

North Miami Beach, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I specialize in supporting women through some of life’s most transformative seasons. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, adjusting to motherhood, managing anxiety, or facing a major life transition, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and at ease in your current reality. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both modern and depth-oriented therapies. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques—while also integrating insights from Carl Jung and Freud to explore the deeper patterns, beliefs, and unconscious stories shaping your experience. Together, we’ll work toward cultivating greater self-understanding and emotional resilience—so you can feel more at home in your current reality, even when life feels overwhelming. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you, but about making space for all parts of your story with compassion and curiosity.

Winter Park, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Welcome! Thank you for checking out this space. My name is Tammy. If you have struggled with traditional talk therapies and feel like they haven't always met your needs then you are at the right spot. I use several different evidence based modalities to help reset your nervous systems, update the way your mind had been processing information to clear out trauma or lingering emotions that have been stuck on. I believe we all have had those times where we ask ourselves; why can't I just get myself to start or stop doing (______) fill in the blank. It is because where we are conscious of things is not where things are being caused. Ready to develop skills and understand yourself in a way that helps you move into the desired behavior you have been wanting, release emotions and energy that no longer are serving a purpose for you greater good. Then let's meet to discuss your personal needs further and go from there!
