Therapists in Florida

Hi there! I'd like to share a bit about me! I'm Reegan. I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor currently in the state of Florida, for the past 8 years. I received my masters degree in Mental Health counseling from Seton Hall University in 2014 through their online program. A bit about my background and who/ what I have experience working with- my internship and first few years of counseling were spent in office at a clinic that served both mental health and substance use disorders. In 2017 I started my transition into online work so I could meet the specific populations the LGBTQ+ community, women and trauma/ childhood trauma. I am trauma aware/ informed and doing many outside trainings to be fully trauma trained. My initial frame work began in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI). Over the years I have worked meet the client where they are at, by using other modalities based on what was needed. I also tend to use a very person-centered approach which can mean taking extra time to build rapport/ a therapeutic relationship. My experiences clinically vary from anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+, coping\stress, substance abuse/use related issues, trauma related work, nervous system dysregulation and more. I am also neurodivergent affirming/ informed and able to talk through some of those things as well. I am still working on increasing my education and knowledge on this part as its vastly under represented, but having someone even opening to talk and look at symptoms can super helpful if you are suspecting something might be going on. It can be a very tough, judgmental world out there, I get that. That is why I am here to help you learn to cope with with the curve balls life may have thrown at you. To help you find yourself and learn to manage all the things that are brought forth by life. If this feels like it might be a good fit, stop by and see. I do like to be transparent unfront that I am a mom of 2 special needs kiddos who are home with me during the day. Please make sure the time slots in the afternoon available for appointments would fit, if what you were looking for (if you are coming in mid week, look at the future week to see what is available fully). I'm looking for a few longer term clients who can fit in those slots or who just wants to solely communicate on the boards. I do write and communicate with clients daily on the boards. Thanks for reading! Hope you find what you are looking for in a match, whether its here or with another counselor! Take care!

Hi! My name is Tammy. I am a licensed mental health therapist in Florida (US) with a positive and hopeful outlook! I have over 20 years of counseling experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, social behavior, and crisis counseling. As well as trauma related issues, sexuality and work related concerns. I have a sense of humor and maintain a hope for the future. It is an honor to work with another person, to gain their trust and help them figure out what's going well, what is causing concern or distress, and to help them find small steps toward a resolution and personal growth. The first few sessions start out with a person-centered therapy approach. However, the information collected in the first few sessions may lead to a better suited theory. I feel that issues like depression or anxiety can be helped with cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT has also been great when working with adolescents who struggle with aggression and conduct disorders. I find dialectical behavior therapy techniques to be useful in a counseling setting as well. My counseling style and approach really depends on the client and what best fits the situation. Person-centered therapy, CBT, and DBT have been my main approach and style. My clients typically meet with me once weekly for 45 minutes. We begin by building rapport and learning about the issues that brought them to seek counseling. It is important to establish a trusting, ethical, therapeutic relationship by form of congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathy in the beginning. Sometimes a person-centered approach leads the client to discover the answers for themselves. My counseling style is primarily Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Brief Solution Focused Therapy so we can develop a plan to help you feel better as soon as possible. Most of the time you will have "homework", which will allow you to identify core beliefs and change the way you feel. We can do short extra sessions during the week, especially during your first month or two, to be sure you have a good foundation for getting your goals met. Whether you are seeking change for a healthier happier life, or just need a non judgmental ear to listen, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! Getting to know yourself, take good care of yourself and live well day to day creates more of an ease in life, and affords you time and a place to resolve deeper issues or past trauma.
