Phew! You made it! That first step of asking for help can be a tough one! I congratulate you on your courage. Many people never take that step and suffer needlessly. What's causing you pain right now? Panic attacks? Depression? Fear? I understand. When stress gets too high, it has to show up somewhere and often these are the ways it shows up. If you've been struggling to just get through your day, you know the pain of NOT doing something about it. It's likely affecting your confidence, your relationships, your work or school. It doesn't have to be that way! It's possible to live a life without constant fear and fatigue. I specialize in working with women with anxiety, depression and low self esteem. Anxiety can be a general sense of uneasiness all the way to having obsessions and compulsions to full blown panic attacks. The fear that overwhelms you with anxiety feels very dangerous, but it's not. It's really your mind and body trying to cope with life from a very primitive level--fight or flight. But it makes you exhausted, unable to concentrate, isolated, and can even land you in the emergency room with what feels very much like a heart attack. How would your life be different if anxiety was no longer scaring you? Depression can be mild (everyday feeling low, having little motivation) to moderate (skipping work because you just can't get going in the morning, canceling events because nothing sounds like fun anymore) to severe (thoughts of ending your own life because life has lost all joy and you can't get out of bed, nor do you want to). If your depression is severe, you need counseling in a safe setting, maybe a hospital, or several times a week in a counselor's office. But if you fit mild to moderate, this may be a good place for you to get help. I have been helping women cope with depression for more than 30 years and I would be honored to help you. Please don't give up! You can have a great life! I challenge you to imagine a life free from depression... Maybe you're just trying to sort out some big life situations, like making decisions about your relationships or coping with the empty nest issue. Maybe your grown kids are causing you some pain. I have three grown kids with kids of their own. I get it. I can help. If you've grown up in a home that hasn't taught you how incredible you are, or you've been through some challenging relationships in which you've been emotionally beaten down, you may be suffering with low self-esteem. This is a very real issue, and not at all uncommon in women. I watch women every day in my practice gain strength and courage and confidence. They begin challenging those lies they've been fed and start spending time with people who support them and lift them up. It's an amazing transformation! This could be YOU! Oh, and for reassurance, I am a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a private practice in Orlando, Florida. I graduated from University of Central Florida with both my undergraduate psychology degree and my master's degree in Counselor Education. I started practicing counseling in the early 1980s and have loved it ever since then :-) My reward is your healing! As a strong Christian, I have many online clients whom I get to help seek God's wisdom as the main basis for their healing. I'm a leader in my church; I am a volunteer and facilitate a small group. If you're wanting your counseling to line up with God's word, I can help! Don't suffer any longer. Give this a try. I look forward to hearing from you. Connie

I am a LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) currently licensed in Florida. I have 5 years experience in this capacity, as well as 24 years as a para-professional providing crisis response services (CISM, Peer Support) to First Responders (I am a retired Law Enforcement Officer with 28 years of experience). In addition to my first responder work, I have also had the pleasure of providing counseling services to many of the same people that I had arrested. I mention this because it is not where you've been or where you're at, but where you want to be. I value the person. I have worked with clients over trauma issues, anxiety, depression, coping, existential/quality of life concerns, etc. I take an integrative approach to counseling, adjusting to best serve the client's needs. I am direct and factual in my approach with clients, as I don't believe in ambiguity or leaving someone guessing. That being said, effective counseling also requires warmth, caring and support. I find that a sprinkling of appropriate humor helps to facilitate the process, but most of all, sincerity is the key to a successful collaborative experience. I bring a lot of life experience to counseling, especially trauma/crisis issues for First Responders. I do not just talk the talk, I have walked the walk.

I have a passionate commitment to provide each client with the approach and strategies that will best ensure they acquire their desired goals, prioritizing expeditious relief from unwanted symptoms. A major reason psychological pain is prolonged is because its causes remain elusive to the sufferer. Relief occurs as we discover and address their causes. Often, this only occurs in a special relationship where we feel comfortable discussing sensitive, confusing and painful issues. If efforts toward relief fail without this special relationship, as they typically do, each disappointment expands a threatening belief that we are beyond help. I lived with this threatening belief into midlife, until finding my special relationship with an extraordinary therapist. This experience played a critical role in my becoming a therapist to discover my vocational passion. In my years as a therapist, I have been honored to partner with a wide diversity of clients, facilitate their progress and witness so many of their life-affirming changes. I listen with compassion and a professional curiosity to sympathetically understand from the client's perspective. I place the highest importance on maintaining privacy and being free of moral judgment. I nourish hope, facilitate the client's discovering their unique path out of pain and into greater wholeness, for control over symptoms and toward the life they most authentically want. While having a psychodynamic orientation, I utilize many cognitive-behavioral strategies within a person-centered framework that prioritizes the client-therapist relationship. I have specific knowledge, experience and developed skills working with men, adolescents males, recent mothers, mother's with adolescent boys, gender specific issues, mature/older men and women, gay and lesbian issues, and with transgendered clients. While successful in treating a wide range of mental health problems in adults and adolescents, I have specialized training and experience treating individuals with trauma, depression, mood, personality, substance-abuse, co-occurring disorders and with men's issues.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Parker area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Parker therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Parker due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Parker may not take health insurance, some in the state of Florida may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Florida you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Parker?

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Parker licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Parker counselor can be dependent on your process.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Parker, Florida can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Parker has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
