As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist nearing 20 years’ experience, I work with a foundation of Solution Focus and Systemic Therapy. I’m often looking for "the funny" in the moment and the world around me. I greatly enjoy sarcasm, snark, and satire. I'm fairly casual but have been told I "Clean up well", and clients have told me in the past they appreciate that I do not come across as "stuffy". I'm often daydreaming of going on cruises with my wife and occasionally think about bringing our children as well. I treasure a long nap in a hammock, and I love movie. Once upon a time I even submitted a short film to the Cannes Film Festival (wasn't selected) but I did enter. Prior to being a therapist, I found myself listening and caring, as people would end up just talking to me and telling me their life story. I decided I should put that to good use. Additionally, growing up my family was fortunate to be able to adopt and quickly we became a larger family that could not remember when my sister was not part of the family. Through the process, I realized how important family and relationships. I appreciate and look forward to the chance to help others get through the rough patches, when life hits hard. When the answer is not easily found, we take time to look at all the options and find something, at least one step towards better. We're not looking for perfection, just looking for progress, a little bit here and there.

Hello, I am Viktoria. Life doesn't always go as planned, and transitions, illness, and trauma are rarely anticipated. Are you struggling with self-defeating patterns that are causing depression, anxiety, and /or a feeling of being stuck? Do you want to make changes in your personal and professional life? Do you have challenges in your relationship? Individuals have unique and individual needs, which should be recognized. Most of the time, you will be able to handle the situation with the help of your friends and family or on your own. There are times when you might need professional guidance and support to learn specific techniques to help you manage your thoughts and feelings. An important aspect of therapy is the opportunity to explore feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, grief, and shame, and to begin the process of creating positive and lasting changes. This takes place in a non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship based on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. My style is calm, warm, and relaxed, and I believe in creating a safe environment for you in which compassion, support, and humor can flourish. Together, we can gain insight and understanding of the relationships between emotions, core beliefs and behaviors in order to find solutions to the problems you are facing.

Hi! Welcome to my practice, Central West Behavioral Health (https://centralwestcounseling.com/). I am looking forward to our first meeting. We have offices in Tampa (13902 North Dale Mabry Highway, Tampa, Florida 33618) and Spring Hill (4138 Lamson Ave, Spring Hill, Florida 34608) for in-person appointments. I have a broad range of training and experience in different counseling approaches, including the American Psychiatric Association and World Health Organization-approved treatment modalities like EMDR (for PTSD and other trauma-related disorders), CBT, DBT, Psychoanalytic Approaches, and other traditional treatment modalities for mood disorders and addiction. My counseling practice embraces changes, focusing on a more fulfilling life and coping with one’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I work with clients individually to understand their issues and apply evidence-based treatment methods to meet their needs. My therapeutic approach in couples/family therapy focuses on increasing understanding and empathy, helping the couples validate one another, and strengthening their communication. I have experience working with individuals struggling with PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Panic Attacks, Social Anxiety, Addiction, Borderline Personality Disorder, Anger and Grief. I utilize a positive, collaborative, and person-centered approach to assist clients in meeting their goals and developing skills to reach their fullest potential. I look forward to working with you. "Working with People, Changing Lives."

Grief
Greetings, my name is Nicole Whitley, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Grief Counselor (GC-C). Through years of higher education, hospice experience, along with personal experience, my passion is to work with individuals, families, couples, and children, struggling through grief and loss. Many associate the grief process only with the passing of a loved one, however, grief is also experienced with a divorce/separation, loss of a job, a newly diagnosed terminal illness, life transitions, etc.

Hi, thank you for checking my profile. Have you been feeling like your life is out of control, struggling with your career, personal life and social life? Do you feel no one understands you? As a therapist, my goal is to help you walk through the difficult situations you are experiencing and help you gain the necessary strengths to achieve the change that you are looking for. This might sound easy, but this can be a challenging path to your healing. This journey is different for everyone, so my approach will be unique to your needs, learning style, and comfort level. I have worked with adults, adolescents, and children. I have experience working with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and interpersonal conflicts. I know how difficult it is to find a good and knowledgeable therapist. Please, do not hesitate to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to help you decide if I am the right therapist for you. I graduated from Nova Southeastern University. I am fluent in English and Spanish.

My name is Andrea Taylor, LCSW. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) and ADHD-Certified Clinical Service Provider (ADHD-CCSP) based in the Tampa, Florida area. My experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your personal struggles. I believe we can all grow through challenging experiences through self-awareness. We all want to be able to share our personal truths and be accepted and understood. I believe it's very important to be open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story or experiences. I've worked with individuals and couples who have a variety of personal issues such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), management, depression, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), family problems, relationship/parenting, grief/bereavement, infertility, life-threatening illnesses and more.

Hi, my name is Alicia and I am here to assist you with your anxiety or depression, and the burden of having to work towards overcoming it. Also, if you are struggling to be kind to yourself and be present in what your life holds, I am here to help you. Having a healthy life includes balance.

A few of my counseling approaches include cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and client-centered therapy. Seeking therapy isn't easy. Life can be so overwhelming, and seeking therapy can be a lifesaver. Everyone deserves a safe space to be heard.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a National Certified Counselor doing therapy for 24 years. I've always worked in schools, with my last decade in a university counseling center so young adults are my specialized population. My specialty areas are anxiety/stress, ADHD, adjustment/life transitions, self-esteem, academic concerns, and personal development (identity, career, LGBTQIA+). One fun fact is that I'm a trained drumming facilitator so I love using music (and art) in therapy when you are open to it.

I chose to become a therapist after experiencing a time in my life when I struggled to find a provider I could truly relate to. I understand firsthand how intimidating or even uncomfortable it can feel to take that first step toward starting therapy. But I also know how profoundly rewarding the work you do in therapy can be—it’s a courageous and transformative journey that can lead to deeper self-awareness and lasting growth. Life’s challenges, whether they involve grief, complex relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, career or life dissatisfaction, life transitions, intimacy, or sexuality, are all valid reasons to seek support. As your therapist, I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can explore these concerns and gain the tools to navigate them with confidence. Pursuing a deeper understanding of yourself and intentionally working toward a more fulfilling life are among the most empowering steps you can take. Together, we’ll work to help you reach your fullest potential and create a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and true to who you are.
