Therapists in Florida

I am a psychotherapist with 16 years in private practice, seeing families, individuals and couples. I have dual master's degrees in both mental health counseling, and marriage and family therapy. Since 2010 I have been providing holistic care from both CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and Jungian traditions. Holistic health is an approach to wellness that simultaneously addresses the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual components of health. The goals include integration, stability, hope and even joy. Holistic does not mean 'alternative', yet I am experienced in adjunct healing modalities like acupuncture, nutrition and yoga. I like to collaborate treatment in a team approach for my clients when able.

I am a licensed mental health counselor providing telehealth therapy for adults (18+) across Florida. My practice is dedicated to supporting individuals in rediscovering joy, healing from emotional challenges, and reconnecting with their authentic selves. I take a mindful, growth-oriented approach to therapy, helping clients cultivate greater balance, resilience, and overall wellness in their lives. I'm honored to share this journey with my clients.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others, you’re not alone. Many of my clients come to me during times of transition, stress, or uncertainty, unsure of how to move forward but knowing something needs to change. I work with teens and adults who are navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship stress, and major life changes. Some clients are looking for relief from the daily weight of worry or sadness; others are trying to make sense of who they are and how to live more fully.

Starting therapy can be anxiety provoking. I intend to guide you in moving through your fears to the life you want to live. Our anxieties are a sign of what is important to us. All you need to start is show up. I practice Solution Focused Brief Therapy, a strengths-based approach highlighting and continuing what is already working for and utilizing resources you may have yet to discover. Utilizing my years of experience working with individuals with OCD, depression, anxiety, and substance use issues will bring hope and healing. You can leave with a plan of action and the tools needed to thrive. I offer evidence-based solution-focused brief therapy. Utilizing acceptance, mindfulness, and behavioral activation skills is the core of my helping style. Non-judgmental listening and respecting your uniqueness is central to the way I work. It can be hard to ask for help. There are so many of us struggling silently with challenges that seem to persist despite our best efforts. Whether you're being tormented by distressing thoughts, difficult emotions, or problematic behaviors, know there is help for you.

Hi I am Brendalis and go by Brenda. Do you feel tired of been undervalued, or feel that you do not matter? I am here to help you improve those feelings and help you understand that you do matter, and you are valuable. I love helping individual achieve their goals and help improve their well-being. I have vast experience working with individual with trauma, depression, anxieties, ADHD, self-esteem, family dynamics, and life-changing events. I consider myself an eclectic social worker who understands that one approach doesn’t fit all, and I like to utilize different techniques based on the client’s needs. Talking about our feelings make us feel vulnerable; therefore, one of the most important steps into the healing journey is working on developing a client therapist relationship. My goal is to help alleviate the stigma and to provide that comfort that will help you improve the symptoms that seems to be holding you back in a non-judgmental way. When it comes to changes, I can relate. As a military wife, I have been through a lot of changes and challenges.

I recently move to Florida, and I am licensed in Illinois, Iowa, and Washington State. I am here to help you through the healing journey.

Hola! If you are reading this you have stepped out of your comfort zone and are exploring who you can trust with your innermost thoughts and feelings. As a mental health professional, I have seen first-hand the plight of the human condition. Throughout the past 20+ years, I have gained incredible experience & insight that have uniquely prepared me for this work.
