Therapists in Florida

Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been practicing for over 30 years. I received my masters in counseling at the University of Memphis. I worked with college students while getting my masters with personal career counseling. After becoming licensed in Florida, I worked specifically with service members and their families with anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress disorder, spouse and child abuse and marital issues. During the past 3 years I have worked with young adults to retired adults addressing individual, work and family issues. It has been my pleasure to guide hundreds of people to a healthier, happier life style that enables them to do what they want to in life without what appears to be impossible barriers like depression, stress and anxiety.

After overcoming some of my own personal struggles by utilizing therapy, I began my career in mental health with a deep passion for helping people find healing and purpose through some of life’s most difficult moments. Over the years, I’ve been privileged to work with dually diagnosed populations, lead multidisciplinary teams, and implement quality assurance programs that elevate client care. Originally trained in both Environmental Sciences and Anthropology, my perspective as a therapist is grounded in curiosity, connection, and respect for each person’s unique story.

It is time to invest yourself! The first step to changing our circumstances is acknowledging something isn’t working. The process of change takes courage. My approach in counseling is to create an encouraging environment which my clients can find the strength to make those first steps into the unknown. I graduated from Palm Beach Atlantic University with a bachelors degree in science of psychology and a minor in communication. I then went on to receive a Masters degree in counseling from Webster University. After my education I went on to gain clinical experience in many different areas over the next 18 years including, but not limited to inpatient psychiatric facilities, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, group therapy, marriage and family counseling, individual counseling, and substance abuse counseling. Licensed in the state of FLorida (MH10911) as a mental health counselor, I aim to provide quality care. I specialize in couples counseling, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, mens issues, family therapy, job stress, interpersonal issues, child therapy, and most other conditions. I look forward to assisting you on you journey to wellness! Below is a link to my book, "8 solutions for wining the war of you vs you" https://a.co/d/2hOjUOt

I work with the client's envisioned goals in mind first and foremost. I want to be able to build upon someone's strengths and eliminate feelings of inferiority. I like to help people work towards the best version of themselves and to gain independence by pushing past their limitations. If you find that you don't have the confidence to approach life and accomplish your goals then let's have a conversation and make this possible for you again. I truly believe everyone is capable of pushing past their limitations if given the insight and willingness to step out of their comfort zones.

Hi there! I'm Katee! If you were to ask my clients to tell you about me, they would say I am extremely easy to talk to, very bubbly, down to earth, and relatable.

I come from a place of total support and honesty with zero judgment.

Hi, I’m CJ, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist making me ideally situation to work with individuals, families, and couples, creating lasting change by fostering a space where they feel seen and heard. Here, you can lay down the mask you have been carrying and embrace who you are beneath it's confines. We all develop behaviors to navigate life’s challenges. Some help us feel comfortable or seen, while others are employed as survival mechanisms. A behavior will only work for us until it no longer serves us; what succeeded in one setting may fail in another. They are not one size fits all. My goal in working with a client is to help them see the difference, meet it with curiosity, and then move towards which behaviors need adjusting. In a world rewarding performance, we cut through the noise so you can embrace who you are, not who you feel you are expected to be.

Sobre mi modo de trabajo Me gusta pensar cada encuentro como un espacio vivo, en donde quien consulta puede detenerse a mirar, a poner en palabras lo que muchas veces se manifiesta de otros modos: en el cuerpo, en los vínculos, en lo que se repite sin que sepamos bien por qué. Mi rol es activo: acompaño, señalo, hago preguntas. A veces, lo que aparece en una frase, en un gesto o en una duda, abre una puerta. El trabajo consiste en animarse a atravesarla. ¿Y cuándo es buen momento para consultar? No siempre es fácil saberlo. Pero a veces, el cuerpo o el ánimo lo dicen antes que nosotros. Algunos indicios pueden ser: • Tristeza que se prolonga en el tiempo • Cambios de humor repentinos o irritabilidad • Dolores o malestares físicos sin causa médica clara • Ansiedad o sensación de estar sobrepasado • Dificultades para afrontar lo cotidiano • Pensamientos que se repiten y no dan tregua • Falta de ganas o desinterés por lo que antes generaba placer • Problemas en los vínculos que se vuelven frecuentes o difíciles de manejar Cada proceso es único. A veces alcanza con hacer lugar a una pregunta para que algo comience a moverse.

I’ve been passionate about psychology since I was eighteen, when I began studying it in Cuba. My mother once told me she had always dreamed of being a psychologist but had to follow another path—and that dream inspired my own. After completing my degree in Cuba, where I worked in inpatient and school settings, I continued my journey in the United States and earned my master’s degree in psychology. Over the years, I’ve worked with children, families, and adults through moments of crisis, grief, and major life transitions. My experience with multidisciplinary teams has taught me to see each person as a whole—emotionally, physically, spiritually, and socially. Healing happens when we look at the full picture of someone’s life, not just their symptoms.

Hi, I’m Allison. Whether you’re feeling burned out, stuck in unfulfilling patterns, or having challenges in your relationships, therapy can help you recover and feel more grounded. Many of the people I work with are new to therapy. They may not have a specific diagnosis or crisis, but they know something feels “off.” Clients often tell me they feel comfortable opening up with me quickly. If you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, know that meaningful change is possible. Let’s work together to help you feel more content, empowered, and like yourself again. Clients often tell me they feel at ease opening up to me. Many feel relieved to have a therapist who offers active guidance, rather than just listening without direction. Finding relief and reconnecting with a sense of peace is more achievable than it might feel right now—and once you start, the process of change often unfolds more quickly than you expect. I approach therapy by looking at the root cause of problems, rather than focusing on one problem at a time. I work from a systemic perspective, which means we will dive into your personal relationships, behavior patterns, and lifestyle choices which are interconnected with the issues you may be facing. If you'd like to learn more about me and my therapy methods, feel free to visit my website at www.mindtalkhealing.com

"Life is all about how we handle plan B" (Suzy Toronto) I love this quote! This is what all of us struggle with. It is difficult to cope with situations, relationships, and our health when things do not go how we had planned. I believe counseling can help with life's challenges to find healthy ways to adapt.
