Therapists in Florida

I am a licensed mental health counselor based in Florida. I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to my work. I employ a collaborative approach that is infused with compassion and, when appropriate, a sprinkling of humor. I believe that therapy is a journey, and I am committed to walking alongside my clients as they work toward their goals. I do have a 15-minute expectation for session arrival. Once 15 minutes has passed and a client has not showed up or messaged me, the appointment is canceled and a no-show fee is charged.

Hello, I am Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida and I'm excited to see how my experience can help you. Family history and personal growth encouraged me to become a counselor and help others obtain their goals through counseling as well. My goal is to restore you to where you want to be and then empower you to places you thought you'd never achieve.

I am a licensed mental health therapist with over 4 years of experience. My primary focus is on supporting individuals struggling with addiction and mood disorders. However, I also have extensive experience working with a wide range of mental health concerns that can impact overall well-being. My passion lies in collaborating with clients to develop healthy coping mechanisms and achieve a greater sense of balance and fulfillment in their lives.

I love helping people manifest their best lives and provide guidance in getting there. The desire to understand self and be understood by others is innate and I have the deepest respect for those taking steps to improve emotional and mental health. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults dealing with marital and premarital issues, life transitions, grief, parenting and infertility. I partner to help you gain insight into your development, experiences and explore renewed commitment to your goals.

You deserve to feel well and live your most authentic life. I provide tools to help you embrace a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your coping mechanisms, improve your mood, and thrive with increased daily functioning, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-awareness, and authentic self-expression. When life feels overwhelming, our minds can convince us that we are alone in our daily challenges and during our most difficult times. We get used to handling it on our own. I believe there is a better way. Working with a psychotherapist who can deeply connect with where you are on your healing journey can be transformative. Transformation might look like addressing symptoms, resolving a problem, or seeking something more. By guiding you to deeper insights and clearer understandings, together, we are better able to confront the barriers that may be holding you back from the life you want to live.

I have over 18 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I follow a relational and strength-based approach to counseling. It is also important to me that clients feel treated like a whole person with intersecting identities that are all valued and supported. I believe that when someone feels seen and heard, they will often discover more about themselves, those they care about, and the world around them. I think we are complex beings, and I love collaboratively looking at things from multiple perspectives and asking questions like what's helping you and what's getting in your way or what was the best part and the most challenging part of your week?

I am very personable as well as professional and I do not believe in one-sided relationships. I have a multidisciplinary, eclectic approach to therapy in which I utilize techniques and principles from a variety of modalities to include Christian based. My counseling is geared toward treating the whole person from a biopsychosocial spiritual standpoint.

I look forward to getting to know you!

Are you experiencing frustration, confusion or turmoil in your life? Even to the point where you see no sense of direction while trying to navigate through life? At times, this can be overwhelming for individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, including other mental health disorders. Hi! My name is Stephaney and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with almost a decade of experience in treating adults and adolescents for various mental health challenges and co-occurring diagnoses. I was inspired to become a therapist by my unique experience migrating to the United States at the age of 13 and attending middle school which was very challenging for me. Culture shock became my reality and one that would eventually lead me to “Severe anxiety.” Even with a very strong family support system, I felt alone and trapped by my own inner fears and self-defeating thoughts. Constant worry and fear of being bullied by my peers became my everyday experience. Through all these obstacles, I was able to process my feelings and experiences with my faith in Jesus Christ, supportive family, and a few good friends. To this extent, I have come to recognize the benefits of a strong support system and the need for social and relational connection. As a mental health counselor, I’m privileged to be a part of that support system for many people. I work with my clients to connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and actions, all while providing sound strategies to promote healthier thought processes. I believe that every human being deserves a chance to be heard and understood, and therapy has taught me that as human beings, we are more alike than different. So as your therapist, I’m excited to be a listening ear for you and help guide you toward your goals.

I am originally from Chicago and I have called Florida home for over 20 years. I believe that everyone is capable of greatness if they can only get the direction and chance that they need. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step". To me this means that no matter where you have started in life and whatever challenge that you are facing, you are not stuck and you can achieve things that you may not have been able to imagine. My goal is to help individuals any way that I can and I would love to be the catalyst to help you reach your full potential. My specialties include depression, anxiety, trauma, aggression, and relationships-family and couples. Finances should never be a barrier to treatment. Call today and see if an arrangement can be worked out that can meet your needs.
