Hi there! I'm Sara. I’m the owner of HONEST Health Center. Is everything becoming… too much? We all face challenges and obstacles that can hinder our personal growth and prevent us from operating on our highest vibrational frequency. In today's fast-paced and stressful world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of ourselves. Frankly, we may even feel lost. Therapy offers a confidential space for emotional expression, self-exploration, and improved mental health. I am a licensed therapist trained to work with individuals, couples, children, and families. As a holistic practitioner, I use a range of techniques to help individuals understand their symptoms and foster a greater sense of self-awareness. My goal is for my clients to better understand the connections between their body, mind, spirit, and relationships and how these elements play a role in mental health. All aspects of 'the self' are explored in my practice.  Whether in-person or telehealth, we can work together to create long-lasting healing. _______________________________________________________________________ *Note: my caseload is full for couples. Couples will be waitlisted for the time-being.* ****Call me for in-person scheduling if your preferred time is not available on the calendar!****

Lutz, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Living with Anxiety, Depression, Panic or OCD can feel overwhelming. It can make tasks at work feel like it’s all too much to handle. In our personal lives, it can make us feel disconnected from the people we love as well as the activities we used to derive happiness from. Even though we develop ways to cope and talking with friends and family can help, these feelings never really fully go away. Thankfully, a structured approach to therapy can help. It is possible to feel comfortable or even excited to interact with people, enjoy your work each day and find meaning! As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of counseling experience, I place an emphasis on establishing therapeutic goals, developing a plan and highlighting the progress clients make towards personal change. I also understand the importance of establishing a genuine therapeutic connection based on compassion and empathy with each person I work with. In my experience, this serves as the foundation for meaningful progress in therapy. My primary approaches to counseling include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered and Solution Focused Therapy.

Are you feeling insecure, anxious, have a pattern of overthinking, or simply stressed, and unmotivated. I'm here to assist you in gaining clarity over your life I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue to meet your unique and specific needs by identifying your therapy goals and working towards healthy, productive, life -affirming solutions. My counseling style is client -focused and somewhat laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I utilize motivational interviewing, mended with empathy, compassion, and gentle guidance, to assist you in a solution-based approach, I am here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgement. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based approach that focuses on helping clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, so that they can begin to make targeted change. I work to help clients understand their physical response to external stressors, and begin to problem-solve ways to introduce moments of calm, to choose to respond rather than react in the face of change.

What effect do you hope that therapy will have on your life? Are you looking for someone to support you in difficult times? Is it your goal to thrive, rather than just survive? Perhaps you want to explore past events and see how they might be affecting your present. My name is Teresa, and I would be honored to walk with you as you navigate life. I work with individuals who have taken on the role of caregiver, whether professional or personal, in avoiding burnout and compassion fatigue. I empower others in creating and enforcing boundaries. I also assist individuals in cultivating a strong sense of self-worth. I guide individuals who are processing trauma and provide support and care.

Davie, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Because sleep quality is critical to physical and mental health I am passionate about helping people get good sleep. I received my PhD from Duke University and have been a practicing psychologist for many years. I work primarily with behavioral sleep medicine because sleep problems are so widespread and there are not enough specialists to meet the need. I continue working with people with anxiety, depression, and couples issues. The methods I use are evidence-based and trauma-informed. I am also an ordained member of the clergy (rabbi) and consider one's spirituality an important part of treatment for many, though not all people. I’ve practiced telehealth exclusively since early 2020. Most people like working this way because of convenience. Therapy is not adversely affected and I am even able to do hypnosis via telehealth.

With a compassionate approach, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I am committed to helping clients navigate everyday life struggles to find a path towards empowerment and growth. Gentle Note: I am a firm believer of upholding boundaries and clear communication, I offer clients a one time "pass" for last minute cancellation/no show. Thereafter, I maintain the no show and cancellation fees as mentioned and signed in the intake form. I urge prospective clients to please view the aforementioned statement with the same rationale as healthcare-related appointments. Although 24hr cancellation is highly appreciated, I understand emergencies happen and am willing to work with clients that communicate these concerns. I do not provide services to clients who are actively suicidal, homocidal, and exhibit self harming behaviors as high risk clients cannot ethically be accepted for treatment via telehealth. I encourage all prospective clients struggling with these concerns to please contact a provider that specializes in these concerns. I also do not provide assistance with custody issues. A demographic that I hold near and dear to my heart are women experiencing emotional distress due to reproductive health challenges and young adults identifying as LGBTQIA+. I aim to foster a supportive, warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental atmosphere. If you are seeking professional guidance and support to address issues with: boundary setting, interpersonal relationships, communication, effective coping, body positivity, and self-esteem, I am here to assist you on your path to emotional wellness and self-discovery.

St. Petersburg, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Hey, I'm Matt. Life may not offer a lot of certainty, but one thing is for sure: everyone struggles sometimes. You might feel like you struggle MOST of the time. I’d like to counter that notion with the belief that embracing those struggles can be the key to overcoming them. To be clear, embracing our struggles doesn’t mean they simply disappear, but I believe we can learn to acknowledge and manage them in a way that will allow us to feel more empowered and prepared to face them. When we live with anxiety and depression, it makes sense that we would want a permanent fix, but I believe that expectation too often leads to feelings of hopelessness simply because that’s not how anxiety and depression work. What if, instead of waiting for them to magically disappear, we learned to acknowledge those feelings and used our own unique experiences with them to get ourselves through the struggles? If you are struggling, I’d like to offer a safe space for you to talk it out and hopefully come away with a different perspective on your ability to manage your anxiety and/or depression. I might point out a turn here and there, but you’ll do the driving!

In our work together, we’ll uncover what lies beneath the surface—those aspects of your life you may be avoiding—because I believe that true healing begins when we face what needs to be revealed.

Lakeland, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I have been doing clinical counseling for 25 years, and unlike most providers, I have a doctorate degree in counseling. I believe that the extra education helps me to provide more thorough, informed, and helpful feedback for clients. I currently provide therapy on a broad range of issues including trauma, anxiety, substance abuse and mood disorders. I am also comfortable working with sexual, gender, and eating issues. I have experience as well with neurodivergence and autism spectrum clients. My passion in a clinical setting involves working with trauma and dissociation, in particular clients with Dissociative Identity Disorder. I believe in giving you tangible feedback and practical solutions. I intend to demystify the process of counseling so that you can truly benefit from your work. In terms of my own self-care I enjoy walking outdoors as a means of reconnecting with nature. Recently, I rediscovered tennis, and have been playing doubles with a local group twice a week. I also recently started playing ping pong and pickleball.

Mark has been a Clinical Social worker for the past 16 years working in the US and UK with various client populations from Babies needing organ transplants to adults with End Stage Renal Disease. The common thread with those unwell as he puts it, has been their connection or lack thereof with positive thoughts, habits and social network. The lack of these associations generally leads to decline over time. He realized that he was most passionate about helping people stay or return to wellness rather that assisting the disease state. Mark actively pursues the link between effective nutrition and solid Mental Health and Wellness, his aim is the help clients feel like the best version of themselves.

I pride myself in working with a culturally diverse group of clients. I work with children, adolescents, and adults through individual, couple, and family counseling. My clients are able to meet their treatment goals and successfully complete therapy within a mutually agreed number of sessions. My clients leave the counseling experience with new and improved habits that allow them to live happier, more fulfilling lives. I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Through this treatment method I teach my clients to identify, examine and replace unhelpful thinking patterns. The goal is to facilitate for clients to improve their mood and to make changes that more closely align with the life they want to live. I'm here to accompany you through this journey. I believe that in this day and age therapy is important. I also believe that we all possess the power to be successful and to live fulfilling lives. My job is to help my clients understand how they can use their own abilities to make it happen.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in the field for 12 years. I've been Licensed for 8 years. I have experience working with a range of people and different ages. I've been trained in Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Circle of Security Parenting, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and have worked with young children, adolescents, and adults. I have been doing agency work for the past 12 years as well. I've worked with clients with substance use issues in the child welfare system, high risk adolescents, in the school system, and adult outpatient. I believe in treating a person holistically and drawing from strengths that they may already possess. With this approach, clients are able to help uncover their abilities, use their support system or gain assistance in developing one, and make long-lasting changes. I use a variety of evidence based practices that draw from CBT, solution focused, ACT, and DBT, and others. I also take a trauma informed approach. I have a goal of owning my own practice but set up as a therapeutic coffee shop. I am available in person and via telehealth on evenings and weekends only.
