Therapists in Florida

Greetings! I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor both in the State of Texas and Florida. I received my Master of Arts in Theological Studies with a Counseling Orientation at Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in Lombard, IL. In 2000 I became a Play Therapist from the Association for Play Therapy, Inc. My career as a Family therapist spans over 18 years of experience; my clinical skills have provided me the privilege of working with individuals who want to better their lives. I believe in the goodness of human beings and welcome the opportunity of helping them find better ways to live a fulfilling life via managing the many issues of life such as stress, anxiety, grief, adjustment issues and life transitions. I have provided counseling services for people dealing with depression, traumatic events, ADHD, parenting issues and terminal illnesses. My approached is humanistic and supportive contained in a non-denominational spirituality. My focus is on helping clients recognize their personal strengths and assuming responsibility for their personal growth process. Though it may be important to recognize our past history in dealing with life issues, my focus is to help individuals live in the here and now with a strong emphasis of inner connectedness. As a person who has grown up in a multicultural environment and as a Bi-lingual therapist (English/Spanish) I embrace diversity and respect for differences in people. Committed to my own personal growth together with my professional skills, I am committed to help individuals change their current situations, current pain or trauma into transformative living.

Hello there! I am a licensed clinical social worker/psychotherapist in Florida. I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology/Neuropsychology from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology and a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. As a clinician, I believe that you are unique, and so is your story. With this in mind, it is essential that you are provided with a safe, non-judgmental and supportive environment to foster resolution and healing. Although I work with a diverse range of populations, I specialize in working with military service members and their families. As a clinical social worker and a proud military spouse, I am able to understand the challenges and stress that is specific to military life, including its effect on you and your family. I am trained in various evidence-based interventions, including cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution focused therapy (SFT), and person-centered approaches. I apply a strength-based approach and work with a range of presenting problems, including life-transitions, stress, body image issues, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. I understand that each client has different needs and therapeutic goals, so I tailor evidence-based interventions to each individual based on personality, presenting issues, and objectives. Regardless of interventions used, establishing a genuine, trusting, and supportive relationship is the foundation of my work! I also focus on skill development and wellness-based practices, such as mindfulness, guided imagery, and breath-work. With these skills, you'll develop healthier connections with others, become more resilient when faced with stress, and generally feel much healthier and happier!

Greetings! My name is Markyse and I am a licensed clinical social worker. Seeking emotional support can be a daunting or awkward experience, so I pride myself in meeting my clients where they are by providing messaging, phone, or video call for our sessions. My counseling approach is empathetic, but goal-oriented and realistic. My goal is to help clients understand that there is no light at the end of the tunnel—YOU are the light in the tunnel, and through our work together you will unleash your radiance to shine, and live a happier lifestyle. You are the expert on your own life, and my goal is to create a safe space with you, filled with empathy and unconditional positive regard. I want our work together to allow you the opportunity to truly express yourself, and minimize or resolve your identified issues and stressors. I was born and raised in South Florida and graduated with a bachelor's and master's degree from Barry University. I am currently working on a PhD degree in social work. When I'm not writing papers and working with clients, I enjoy gardening, traveling, listening to music, and learning how to play the ukulele. Music is a huge part of my life, and I believe in the power of music in healing, so don't be surprised if I use music related interventions in our work together!

My purpose and passion involve helping others. I believe in working collaboratively with you to help you to identify needs, support you in finding ways to manage them positively, and assist in promoting mental health and wellness. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology, Master of Science in Counseling, and I am a Doctoral Candidate. I have worked in the field of counseling for almost 15 years, working with individuals from children, adolescents, and adults. I have also worked in several programs: Inpatient, Residential, Intensive Outpatient, and Outpatient. My experience includes working with mental health disorders, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders. I have helped individuals presenting with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, grief and loss, stress, maladaptive communication, decreased self-esteem, substance use, and other needs. My treatment approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioral with the understanding that our thoughts affect our emotions and behaviors, taking into consideration the impact of our environment and experiences. Other treatment approaches used are Solution Focused Therapy, Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. I believe in treating others with respect, being non-judgmental, actively listening, and being client centered.

I am licensed in Florida with 14 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, & bipolar disorder. I also have experience working with depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I aim to work collaboratively with my clients to help them through the various roadblocks and difficulties that life presents. People frequently limit themselves based on old assumptions and expectations and it can be freeing to start to disentangle this. The emotional pain caused by these issues is often isolating and confusing and I believe that it can be healing to have somebody else there with you to explore and process. My approach to therapy is to use self understanding and awareness as a mechanism for change. While my style is primarily insight-oriented, I have experience incorporating behavioral therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into my approach.

Hello! I’m looking forward to helping you work through any life stressors by equipping you with the necessary tools to live your best life. I have a masters degree in art therapy and I am currently a registered art therapist and a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. I have 11 years of experience working with clients affected by trauma and abuse, ADHD, anxiety, autism, self-esteem issues, abandonment, and interpersonal relationships. My motto is that even a broken crayon can still work- in other words even if we are broken from life situations we still have the potential for greatness and success. I love being able to apply my art as therapy skills to provide my clients for an additional outlet on top of traditional talk therapy to express themselves in less vulnerable ways. Finally, I believe therapy should include some grit and grace- there are going to be days when you’ll have to grit your teeth as you work through hard issues but if you give yourself grace during that time and allow yourself to be forgiving towards yourself and others, you will flourish.
