Therapists in Florida

Aloha, I am Dr. Edward Suarez. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 20 years of experience consulting, training and providing mental health services to a wide range of individuals around the world, including Florida, Hawaii and recently, headquartered in Morocco helping U.S. Peace Corps volunteers adjust to life in Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. I received my doctoral degree from the University of Hawaii, specializing in cross-cultural approaches to severe mental illnesses (such as schizophrenia, bipolar and major depression) but since then have expanded my expertise into areas of adjustment, stress & coping, anxiety (including social anxiety, OCD and phobias) My training and therapeutic approach focus on using best practices such as client-centered, trauma-informed, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including mindfulness and motivational interviewing, designed to help my clients efficiently assess and address problems in the here and now in order to achieve timely and lasting improvements. Usually this begins with a holistic assessment and focus on each person's health, diet, nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, socialization, stress coping skills and self-care regimen, in addition to any additional specific concerns of each client I serve. My therapeutic approach emphasizes rapport building, empathic listening, radical acceptance, genuineness, and helping client's develop interpersonal (communication), intrapersonal (mental hygiene) and problem-solving skills so they can build on therapy to independently maximize their potential. The therapeutic relationship involves mutual collaboration in creating a client-based and client-driven plan so we can honestly assess and document progress and client readiness to successfully graduate and move on in a reasonable amount of time, typically just 1-2 months.

Welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Yulia and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida with 11 years of experience in a mental health field. For the past 4 years I have been providing counseling exclusively in the online settings. I believe that for every problem there is a solution and the main goal is to find the right solution for you. The majority of my experience has been working with clients with mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety, as well as relationship issues, life changes and adjustment issues. Mostly utilized approaches in my practice are CBT-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, where we can explore how our thinking, feelings and actions are interconnected and affect each other; Solution Focused Approach is used when clients present a very specific problem that needs a specific solution, so the main focus of our therapy sessions will be exploring all options and possibilities and generating the best possible solution to your current concern. For some of my clients who suffer from a long term depression and a loss of meaning and motivation in life, I suggest we “dive a little deeper” and apply Existential psychotherapy approach. Existential approach has proven to be the most suitable when it comes to finding the meaning of life; this is when we are exploring and looking closely at the individual purpose of life and helping clients to create meaningful experiences in life and foster meaningful relationships. During sessions, you can expect compassion and understanding, it is my goal to provide a safe space that is gentle, collaborative, and direct in order to help you better understand and find a solution to current or long-standing challenges. I look forward to supporting and guiding you on your journey to improved mental health and your overall life. I am available for an audio phone sessions. If my current schedule doesn’t reflect desired time/days, please send me a message and we can make necessary arrangements. I’m very flexible with appointments and I’m sure I will be able to accommodate your specific time/days requests.
