The town of Springfield was incorporated in 1935 and has a population of over 9000. The town is mostly rural still and this may be due to the large paper plant and chemical plant on the waterfront that supports most everyone in the area in some way or another.
Everyone needs emotional or mental support once in a while no matter who you are. There are some things that are just out of our control and we need to speak to a professional to understand what is going on. Contact one of the many Springfield area counselors to find some support.

Kiera Cordiano
I am Kiera Cordiano, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have been working in mental health for 12 years. I have experience working with many different areas of concern, but areas of focus include helping men and women that struggle with anxiety, depression, self esteem, self worth, codependency, substance use, relationship issues, and professional growth and development. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual as I do not believe in a "one size fits all" model. I have an open mind and open concept, spirituality can always be invited in to session when welcomed, however I tend to utilize client centered, motivational interviewing and solution focused approaches; in identifying the main issues, getting out of the problem, and finding ways to make change in feelings, thoughts, and actions is often how we can begin the process of feeling different and healing. I have a gentile but honest approach in communication; meeting my clients where they are at while encouraging growth and positive transformation. It is often overwhelming to navigate through some of life's challenges, you may have even ignored difficult situations or uncomfortable feelings for some time thinking they will just go away, but making the decision to explore new possibilities is the first step to growth and change. Working with me you will process impactful feelings, emotions and situations, while gaining insight and learning to build a sense of acceptance, set healthy boundaries and much more. I look forward to working with you through the obstacles that stand in your way, and helping you build the strength and confidence to fully be yourself!
Melissa Colton
I am an experienced psychotherapist (M. Ed., LPC, LMHC, NCC, NBCCH, Qualified Supervisor for Mental Health Interns FL, and Intensively Trained DBT Therapist) with a demonstrated history of working in the mental health industry for over 23 years. Skilled in providing Telehealth mental health services including Client Centered Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy across a wide range of issues such as Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Abuse, Mood Dysregulation, Self Esteem, Anger Management, and Life Coaching. I approach therapy from a holistic perspective…body, mind, heart, soul, and spirit. I believe the relationship between client and therapist is the most important element to successful treatment. Without a strong connection between the two, no real change can occur. When the pain of staying the same becomes stronger than the fear of change, that's usually when people make the choice to change. My favorite quote has always been "You are not what happened to you, you are what you choose to become" (Carl Jung). To that end, a person can always choose to reinvent themselves...a kind of metamorphosis similar to the butterfly emerging from a cocoon. Reinventing oneself is not always easy, but the rewards far outweigh the struggle. There is always a "gift" in the most difficult of circumstances, something positive that you learned about yourself through the struggle. Maybe the gift is patience, maybe it's compassion, maybe it's just that you learned to survive. These "gifts' are what you bring forward from the worst of experiences, and they are the very things that will help you move forward in your life. My goal is to always shine a Light in the darkness when someone feels "stuck", to help them remember what they already know but may have temporarily forgotten, to hold sacred space for them, and to "be present" with them as they work to move forward and achieve their goals-as they seek to reinvent themselves. You have all of the answers inside of you. You always did. You still do.
Dr. Robin Miller
My name is Robin I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at California University, Master's degree from Webster University in Clinical Counseling, and Bachelor's degree from Rollins College in Psychology. I am a licensed mental health counselor in private practice in Florida. I completed my internship providing psychological services for teens and young mothers in a pregnancy program, as well as working as a substance abuse counselor with adults. Upon completion of my Master's, I went straight into private practice. I am a former high school psychology teacher. I serve as a psychology and counseling adjunct professor at Eastern Florida State College and at South College. My area of focus in my practice is on anxiety and depression. I work mainly with people who are feeling stuck and have a negative outlook on life. My goal is helping people gain clarity in their situation and build the skills to find meaning and purpose in their lives. I use an eclectic approach to therapy. With a mix of CBT to challenge many of those illogical racing thoughts that plague many people with a mix of mindfulness activities, I find my clients do very well with these two modalities. I take each client as a very unique individual so once we meet I can get a better idea of what the client may need as far as treatment approaches. There is nothing more rewarding than guiding someone through their journey into wellness!

I believe in treating everyone how I would want to be treated. This is why I only take on a small caseload so that I can dedicate my time with my clients. I believe that self-awareness and mindfulness are vital components of reflecting on yourself and your behavior.

The most important relationship in your life is the one you have with yourself. Just as you know that it's important to take care of your physical well-being with a healthy diet and proper exercise, it is also important to take care of your mental and emotional well-being. Remember that your wellbeing is worth the investment of time and energy. The work you do now can pay dividends for years to come. Be kind to yourself! Every day is a new beginning. Take a deep breath, smile and start again. I generally check messages here a few times per day Mon-Fri and respond as quickly as I can. I do appreciate your patience when it takes a bit longer at times, as I may be tending to other clients or professional/personal responsibilities.
