Therapists in Florida

Hi my name is Lynda Nora Durand and I go by Nora. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 8 years of experience in the state of Florida and New York. I am a Florida native who moved to New York a few years ago. I have a Master in Mental Health Counseling and a certificate in Child and Adolescent Studies. I have worked in child welfare as an advocate and counselor to youth in foster care from there I became a crisis counselor for Hurricane Sandy Victims, to then run a crisis respite center for individuals with what we call “severe mental illness” where we provided a peer environment in which individual’s experiencing psychosis but did not rise to the level of hospitalization could have a place to stay away from their triggering environment, and currently I work with victims of crimes. I shared so much detail as to my prior work experience because it speaks to the way I work with individuals. I believe in meeting every person where they are at and providing a compassionate non-judgmental space to process and explore their individual reality. My approach is a combination of Intentional Peer Support, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Need Adaptive Treatment model. I do my best to be creative with the therapy I provide and tailor it to the individual that I am working with. I am so happy that you have taken this step to work on your emotional and mental health and look forward to the opportunity to be a support alongside you in this journey.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I offer a safe and judgment-free opportunity for people to discuss problems or challenges they are facing. I work with a diverse combination of professionals, blue collar workers, parents, graduate students, agency administrators, seniors, and others. I enjoy helping clients explore alternatives for understanding the past, experiencing the present, and moving into the future. My approach involves talking in plain language and, as appropriate, with a bit of lightness and humor. I transitioned to counseling after a successful 32-year career as a private practice lawyer. My life experiences, previous professional history, and compassion help me help clients. I work with clients on relationship issues, toxic workplace concerns, anger management, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, assertiveness training, career choices, and other concerns. I enjoy working with caregivers for the elderly, disabled, or ill.

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!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with extensive experience working individually with clients to address issues and promote their personal well-being and success. I believe every individual is unique and my approach is tailored to and reflects the specific needs of the client. I have dedicated myself to assisting individuals navigate through the various issues encountered in their personal life experience, while improving their quality of life. The human experience and the needs of every individual are specific to the person, and I believe that there is not a "one-size-fits all" approach and/or solution that will "work all the time." Every session is tailored to the current, here & now, physical and mental state of the client and always in direction of the underlying personal need. Together, we can deal with and/or navigate, any difficulty that you may encounter in life, as I believe, no issue/challenge is too big for an individual to overcome/manage. Thank you for taking the time to read this description, I look forward to our time and work together during session. Kind regards, Diego Gumucio
