Therapists in Florida

Hello, My name is Waynette Speakman. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida and I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CCMHC) through the National Board of Certified Counselors. I am also a Board Certified -TeleMental Health Provider (BC-THP). I graduated from the University of South Florida in 2007 with a Master's in Counseling. I primarily work from an Adlerian counseling perspective as it utilizes psychodynamic, cognitive, and behavioral techniques. I incorporate cognitive and behavioral strategies into counseling to facilitate goal-directed positive behaviors, while also taking into account past history, birth order and family dynamics. Adlerian therapy is goal directed and future focused, therefore we will not spend too much time on past history, rather add it to the other pieces to create the best possible picture. I will integrate solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing techniques to encourage problem solving from a positive goal oriented perspective. I am really excited to meet you and start working with you.

Hi, and thank you for your interest in me as a therapist. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida and Texas. I have over 15 years of experience working in the field of Mental Health. I graduated with a Master's in Social Work, from Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida. I have worked in various settings including Homeless Shelters, Crisis Units, and Outpatient Treatment Centers. My counseling approach is person-centered, and the therapeutic modalities that I use are Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I specialize in treating men’s issues such as difficulty expressing intimacy and affection. Those struggling with anger, irritability, and performance anxiety. Offering a space where one can openly express and connect to what matters to them. Those who struggle in their lives to find happiness, contentment, and a balance in their personal and professional relationships. Through therapy, it will allow you to safely and privately open up and discuss issues and concerns, which may have been previously ignored. Together, we can develop better-coping mechanisms to deal with the issues that you are struggling to overcome. Looking forward to connecting with you and beginning our work together!

My name is Dhaima Chin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my masters degree from Florida Atlantic University in 2011. I have worked in many populations in this field. I currently have a private practice and I utilize three specific types of therapy with my clients. These therapies are Solution-focused therapy, which is often called "brief therapy," and focuses on what clients would like to achieve while in therapy. I also use cognitive behavioral therapy which focuses on the role of our thinking in regard to how we feel and what we do. The third therapy that I use with clients is solution focus therapy which empowers clients to own their abilities in solving problems. I can help you regain insight and get you back on track. I provide a non-judgmental space, which helps to create a safe and comfortable zone to express yourself. My goal is aimed specifically to help you identify the problem, find a solution, and provide empowerment tools.

Hello and welcome - I appreciate your visit to my page!

I partner with clients to identify and build on strengths so they can face challenges, create solutions, and feel better. Licensed in Illinois and Connecticut for 20 years, I have worked as counselor, consultant, coach, and advisor in both higher education and private practice.
