Therapists in Florida

I commend you for asking for help. You are taking a great step to reshape the rest of your life! I am a licensed mental health counselor and qualified supervisor with 35 years of professional behavioral health experience. I completed my bachelor's degree, with a psychology major, at the University of Massachusetts and my master's degree in Psychology at Columbia University in New York. I have worked in inpatient, outpatient, and community settings, with adults, teens, and children, and have provided mental health and substance abuse/addiction treatment. I have also worked in administrative roles; managing programs, developing and implementing quality improvement initiatives, and have developed and evaluated new programs. As a result of my extensive experience, I understand the importance of and am here to offer you easy access to therapy that I will tailor based on your unique story and needs. I have been trained in a variety of evidence-based therapeutic interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma resolution therapies. My approach is strength-based and client-centered. I come with no judgments nor assumptions because each person has their own unique life and experiences. And so, I will rely on you to give me as much information with which you are comfortable sharing about any problems, hopes, and goals that you have, so that I can best support you!

Hello Sir/Ma'am and welcome! You did it! You are taking important steps to becoming the best version of yourself! My name is Kaleesha Bent and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I have provided therapeutic services for the past 12 years. I have worked with clients with an array of concerns to include depression, anxiety, family conflict, parenting issues, relationship issues, trauma/abuse, ADHD, and self-image/self-esteem issues. I have also supported teenagers who have difficulties identifying healthy coping strategies to manage external and internal stressors. While addressing mental health needs is becoming more and more embraced in our communities, it still carries a pervasive stereotype. It takes great courage to engage in therapy, and that is to be celebrated! Working with individuals, youth, and families are my passion, as it allows me the humbling opportunity to shine a light on a better and more effective way of living and engaging with those closest to them, and managing life stressors. The way in which I accomplish this best is by engulfing a warm, interactive, and non-judgmental approach. My therapeutic approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, emotion-focused, family systems, existential, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative, solution-focused, and trauma-focused. As your therapist, I will align myself with your goals and tailor your treatment to support that. I look forward to working with you as you take this conscious step to becoming the best version of yourself. I'll see you on the other side!

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I help people to identify their goals, overcome obstacles, meet challenges, and thrive. I take an active and engaged role with my clients by asking questions, offering alternative perspectives, and suggesting new ways of thinking about issues that may be getting in the way of living a more satisfying life. I have 10 years working with people dealing with depression anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, PTSD, and relationship experiences. I have served on Active Duty in the Air Force and enjoy working with military members and their family. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, transgender, and LGBT community. I utilize individual, family, and couples counseling as appropriate. I customize my treatment to meet the needs and goals of the individual and/or family dynamic. My treatment approach is client centered. My belief is that all clients are unique and therefore, I work towards making all my clients feel comfortable and understood. I am very warm and caring and find that building a trusting relationship between client and counselor is truly the foundation of a successful counseling relationship. I am trained in in psychodynamic, solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Because no two clients are alike, I work to form a treatment plan in coordination with the client so that we can have the most successful counseling relationship possible. Congratulations on taking the first step in a therapeutic relationship. It takes courage to take the first step and seek counseling. I look forward to beginning a rewarding therapeutic relationship with my clients.
