Largo, FL - Accepting clients in FL

My name is John A. Llauget. I hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and an Educational Specialist Degree in Counseling from University of South Florida. My career in mental health in 1977 working in a psychiatric hospital; and later as a outpatient therapist in a community mental health center working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. I was licensed in Florida in 1986 as a Mental Health Counselor and have maintained my license since that date. Also I have worked as an employee assistance counselor, school counselor, associate professor at an international university, and court evaluator for guardianship cases. For 20 years I worked as a cancer counselor with oncology clients helping them cope with illness, stress, and emotional distress. Additionally I have maintained a practice and interest in Traditional Okinawan Uechi-Ryu, earning a Masters rank in that system of training. I have used martial training with children & adolescents to develop self-control and self esteem. Later when I began working with an elderly population and clients dealing with physical limitations, I taught Qigong and Mindfulness Meditation as a way to improve their health, well-being, and cope with stress. My therapeutic style centers around getting to know a client, develop trust, and talking more explicitly about issues before making any recommendations. I am a strong advocate of evidence-based treatments and teaching ‘tools’ to cope with stress and emotional difficulties. I have gained training in trauma treatment because we now know that it is prevalent in our life experiences. I value compassion, persistence, and patience in working towards change. I look forward to working with you. I also value your time and want to use it productively in assisting you to reach your therapeutic goals.

Longwood, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Hello! My name is Paul and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. I received my Master’s degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and have been practicing for over five years. I work with clients who are looking to find purpose, meaning, and healthy connection in life. I work with persons struggling with maladaptive coping skills. I understand the social pressures and stigma associated with men’s issues. The challenges that men face when it comes to seeking help and addressing their mental health concerns to find solutions. I will help provide support and guidance by helping all clients develop healthy coping skills, explore vulnerabilities, and strengthen self-confidence. Together we can break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, help enhance self-esteem, and build meaningful connections by prioritizing mental health with the focus on finding solutions.

All of us find ourselves in life situations that may be overwhelming or in need of advice and support. I aim to guide you in re-establishing an authentic relationship with yourself and others so that you may show up lovingly and mindfully to your life. I seek to work together to find different ways to cope with, process, and overcome a multitude of issues and everyday stressors. I aim to help others tap into their inner strengths and passions and create a life in which they practice these passions habitually.

Hi! I am Carlos, and I would like to start by saying welcome! Welcome to a space where you can be yourself and find comfort in knowing that you are not alone. This decision you made for yourself to seek to further understand what is going on in your life. In this process, it is about you being the expert in your life. It is important for me to provide you a space where you feel respected, listened to, and treated with compassion. I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I am a proud of graduate of USF (Bachelor's Degree) and Troy University! I am also working currently on my Ph.D in couple and family therapy from NSU! I have worked with a range of different diverse populations and a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, adjustment to major life transitions, PTSD, mood disorders, personality disorders, acculturation, and more! I have experiences working both adults and children, and some of my experiences include working with veterans, adults in community supported living, youth and their families, and college students. My therapy style has been to be non-judgmental, strengths-based, narrative, with a touch of humor/playfulness. This space is yours to co-create with me to help get you to be the best version of yourself.

Hi, I'm Chris! I've been practicing since 2016 and have worked with a variety of clients such as domestic violence survivors, human trafficking survivors, people with anger issues, individuals in difficult relationships, people who are depressed, people who have anxiety, individuals with PTSD, individuals in jails and prisons, and people who just aren't sure of where to turn to for help. I earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Hodges University, and my BS in Criminal Justice from Florida Gulf Coast University. I started my private practice in 2022 after working for a national public mental health agency, which specializes in serious mental illness.

Jacksonville, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have over 11 years of experience working with children, teens, adults and families on a host of different issues. I have gained valuable experiences working in private practice, in a pregnancy center, working with the homeless population, community mental health and the Church. All these experiences helped to make me the rounded clinician that I am today. Many individuals focus on their physical health while ignoring the most important aspect of their being and that is their mental health. I believe that focusing on one's mental health shows fortitude and strength. You don't have to let anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, or even career decisions prevent you from realizing your true potential. I take clients on the journey until they arrive at their destination. “Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start.” Nido Qubein. This quote sums up what I believe when it comes to working with my clients. Where you are right now does not define you, it is your starting point to get you moving in the right direction. The thought of therapy may sound daunting to you, but I can assure you that this could be one of the best decisions that you ever made. Investing in your mental health is priceless. You deserve to be heard and to be healed. This is my story, What’s yours? Let’s talk.

I believe you can change the story of your life by having a "safe space" to share your feelings and process what hurts the most. Transforming the way you think about your problems and allowing yourself to change your perspective, could be liberating in your healing process to a better you. Expect a warm and non-judgmental environment to overcome life challenges.

Clair-Mel City, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Every person has their own story. In therapy, we get to understand our individual stories and work towards writing the future we envision for ourselves. I recognize that each person has a unique perception of the world and these differences should be embraced in a supportive and judgement free environment. After attending Florida State University College and obtaining a masters degree in social work, I became licensed in the state of Florida as a LCSW. Alongside my credentials I have several years of hands on experience working in mental health care settings from crisis units to residential and outpatient programs. My experience has helped me understand the importance of creating individualized treatment plans and goals unique to each and every persons needs.

Hi! I'm Yadiel Munoz. I'm licensed in Florida with six years of professional work experience. I have experience helping clients cope with depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. While everyone is unique, I've found that clients typically start making measurable progress after our four sessions together. My goal is to ensure that every client has the tools they need to be their best, and to reach a point where they no longer need me. I strive to create a positive environment where you feel safe to be your true self. I'm here as a trusted partner that you can confide in, but also as someone who will challenge you and help you grow.
