Therapists in Florida

I am a family and marriage counselor licensed in Florida. I've been working with families, couples and individuals since 1999. I've worked primarily in community mental health with families and children. I have deep experience in domestic violence and sexual abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicide prevention as well as gender and LGBTQ issues. I believe in putting the client in “the driver's seat”. I place a high value on the autonomy of the people I serve. You are the the best judge of what you need (although, it's not always feel that way). I enjoy working from a client-centered perspective, but I draw from other evidence based practices as well, especially Cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy and family systems theory. I also pride myself on working with people from a variety of cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds. I truly honor and enjoy the unique character and journey of the person I am working with. Everyone needs a hand with life's “heavy lifting” from time to time. It would be my privilege to work with you. Peace!

Hello, my name is David Kolker and I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker. The firs question I ask every client is "tell me who you are." This question is the basis of all the time we will spend together. It is the main question that will determine the progress of your therapy. A primary piece of this approach is self-disclosure by myself. How can I expect you to be open and honest if I am not willing to do the same? Many therapists don't believe in this theory; however, I have found it to be extremely effective. The concept is that I have the same issues as you do; however, my pain tolerance is extremely less than yours. What does this mean? I don't wait till the pain gets unbearable to take action. I have owned large primary mental health facilities for the past 14 years and worked with a diverse population of males, females, couples and families. Issues such as lack of childhood modeling, insecure attachment, sexual assault and abuse, codependency and shame. It is my opinion that shame and codependency are the primary issues with the vast majority of issues we face. I will stop at this point and invite you to contact me and discuss the issues you are dealing with. Remember, I am no different than you.
