Lynn Haven, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Do you find yourself struggling with navigating the challenges of life with the need to escape? Addiction and avoidance are two very common mechanisms used in today’s world to deal with the crushing weight of life. Trust me, I get it. I have walked my own journey out of addiction into sobriety. It is a lifelong process that I embrace. It’s not just about breaking free from substances, but also achieving emotional sobriety. Time is a luxury many of us don’t feel that we have and we are constantly looking for the “quick fix,” but life has other plans. If you are looking beyond a “band aid solution” to living a better life today you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been there. I may be a therapist, but I’m a human first. A person just like you. Would you like to accept the invitation to enter into this journey of healing together? To go from surviving to learning how to thrive? To learn to unapologetically love yourself again, or maybe for the first time ever? You’re worth it. It’s your time to make yourself a priority.

New Smyrna Beach, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I'm not your typical therapist. I do very, very advanced work based upon the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction states that whatever we focus on, we attract to us, whatever we fear, we welcome into our lives. The support I offer is about letting go of the fears. I'm Kelly, and I'm a certified Infinite Possibilities facilitator, Compassion Key expert, Healthy boundaries specialist, and Breathwork practitioner. I work with clients ready to let go of all limitations and enter endless possibilities of growth and expansion. In sessions with me, we don't give time or energy to the negative. We focus solely on solutions and forward momentum. I work with clients who are excited about homework between sessions and keeping the momentum flowing. I work with clients who take full responsibility for their own growth. We may go through the Infinite Possibilities curriculum, remove blocks and focus on what you're creating in your life. All sessions are based on the Law of Attraction and personal empowerment. Only you know if now is the right time for this level of growth on your journey.

Bristol, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I am licensed in Florida with over 12 years of therapeutic experience. I've spent most of my career in the non-profit arena so I've worked with a variety of people, with a wide range of mental health issues, in various types of settings. The majority of my time has been spent working with trauma survivors and those with depression and/or anxiety disorders. I utilize an eclectic mix of theories to help clients & my therapeutic approach reflects that. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) but sometimes another approach (DBT, MI,etc.) is more appropriate. I am also qualified to offer EMDR to my clients. I meet my clients where they are & work to build rapport. I provide active listening in a supportive, non-judgmental, & empathic environment so clients can address their issues & concerns; while also being able to challenge them when appropriate. I've found that I'm passionate about empowering people & helping them become their whole & authentic self. I think it's so rewarding to help people work through difficult situations & offer some hope for the future. If you're ready to get started on this journey together, I encourage you to reach out!

Hollywood, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Hi! My name is Nancy Muricken. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Tampa FL currently accepting new clients via Telehealth! I provide individual therapy with a pinch of millennial energy and the spice from South India. That being said, I hope that you and I can soon spill the chai! Let me go first. I was born and raised in Queens, NY (just like your friendly neighborhood Spiderman) where I grew up in a South Indian household by parents and extended family from Kerala, India. Now if you are like me and was born or grew up in America but raised by an Immigrant family, there are a lot of values. traditions, and pressure that are instilled in us. Mental health is completely disregarded or taboo and Masala Chai, Vicks, and prayers became the answers to all our problems. I'm all for Chai and praying but imagine if we had proper insight and coping skills as a child in a supportive environment alongside spiritual support? We probably wouldn't be here scrolling for a therapist for our mother and father wounds. That being said, the psychodynamic approach is one of the primary approaches I utilize in therapy to help identify patterns from our childhood which affect our behaviors, actions, and relationships in our present life. I use Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as my other treatment methods to help clients embrace their present lives, identify patterns of thinking, and reframe negative thoughts. I am an email or phone call away. Book your appointment today! I am excited to meet you and for your journey to healing.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. I know that mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all. Everyone’s journey is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. That’s why I take a client-centered, individualized approach that meets you where you are.

In therapy, I counsel individuals, families, couples, and children. No matter how trivial an issue may seem, everyone has issues in life. If it is causing you emotional pain, that is a good reason to seek out help. I understand everyone has a different journey in their lives and I would like to assist you in your path to self-discovery and healing. Your issues may be stress, loneliness, sadness, frustration, or concern for a loved one. You are not alone and I am ready to help you explore strategies to help you improve your life. Each session is provided in a warm and compassionate environment. I will ask you some questions so I can understand which issues you want to focus on. Therapy is a process of learning and the rewards are great. You will develop parts of yourself that you did not know existed. This will help you to become a better parent, partner, and best friend to yourself and your loved ones. Are you ready to take that step of self-discovery to become the best version of yourself? I want to guide you in your path to self-discovery, happiness, and peace. I have been counseling clients for over 24 years and I work with all populations. My counseling modalities include Cognitive behavioral therapy, Solution-focused, and Person-Centered therapy. When I counsel children, I use all of these in addition to Play therapy. Many of the therapeutic issues we work together on are Self-esteem, relationships, communication, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, Social skills, and grief. I am a licensed therapist and have a Masters Degree in counseling. I have spent many years counseling children, adolescents, and adults. Although therapy may look different with each population, the process is equally meaningful in all sessions.

Aventura, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. I earned my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have specialized training in treating anxiety, OCD, and depression. I work with teens and adults who feel overwhelmed by their thoughts and emotions, helping them build practical tools and coping strategies. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to understand themselves more deeply, reduce distress, and take meaningful steps toward feeling more confident, grounded, and in control of their lives. I believe that change is possible when clients feel heard, understood, and equipped with the right tools.
