Klifton Fehr, LMHC
About me
I am a human who is actively working on becoming a better being. I am personally working on myself in several ways in individual therapy, yes, I have a therapist. How can I be a good model for any of my clients, if I am not subscribing to the idea of self-improvement as well? I want to be the best therapist, as a resource and "guide by your side" as I can be. I believe that there is a better chance that I help those who are working on being better, by being a better version of myself. I am also working with a professional coach as I am a professional in this industry and I am constantly wanting to become more effective as a professional, leader and for you, a counselor. I am also actively involved in my professional organization and continue to receive additional supervision and coaching from tenured professionals including my father and mother who have been therapist for the past 80+ years combined. I currently hold a professional certification as a Certified Group Psychotherapist. My Florida License as a Mental Health Counselor is something that I have been maintaining for the past few years and I have used this license to do effective work with adolescents, adults, families, couples and mixed groups. The challenges that have been presented in those sessions have ranged from severe and persistent mental illness, substance use disorders all the way through the typical adjustment disorders that happen for all of us from time to time as we work through challenging times and changing situations. I have also worked with geriatric populations, LGBTQ community, chronically homeless and all higher functioning/professional adults.

He is a great listener, very calm and objective. It was great working with someone that was always empathetic with no prejudice.

I'm so honored to be working with you Klif, and I swear by your work that if it weren't for you I wouldn't have been where I am and achieved those big great steps

Talking to Klifton each week has been like having a handrail to steady myself as I've been climbing some very steep stairs. I'm so grateful for his guidance and straightforward conversations. I highly recommend Klifton as a counselor that not only helps parce out emotional history, but coaches you into better and healthier behavior in realistic tangible ways.

Klif is a great listener and has some great ideas for tackling problems. He works hard for his clients and even more impressive is his ability to put his own stuff aside to focus on what you his client needs.
