Connie Branham
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

Jacob Price
Hello, my name is Jacob Price. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. I have been licensed since 2016 in private practice offering individual therapy ever since. I have 10 years of experience in mental health overall. From 2009-2016 I worked at a community mental health center where I was in various positions ranging from case management services for the severe and persistently mentally ill to group therapy for residential mental health clients. As a therapist I offer a person centered approach, meaning, It's my belief that careful listening and reflection of your emotions and thoughts can help you to find your own mental clarity and a greater self-acceptance. Within the person-centered approach I consider myself to be an Acceptance Based Behavior Therapist (ABBT). This type of therapy combines exercises meant to teach a person how to mindfully observe emotions and stop struggling with them so they can refocus attention on meaningful values based goals. Several Acceptance Based Behavior Therapies have been researched and shown to be clinically effective in reducing anxiety and depression. They include Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The idea is that what turns our initial emotional pain into suffering is our natural inclination to want to struggle with emotions instead of acknowledging them and then refocusing on the present moment. In addition to anxiety, depression, life issues and substance use disorders I treat PTSD by using Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy as well as Trauma Reprocessing Therapy. You may find it interesting to google a few of those therapies and read for yourself what they're about. I look forward to hearing from you soon and know that we can figure this out together.

Nicolas Gross
I believe that engaging the process of therapy is a courageous act-a personal commitment to living a more fulfilling and happier life. A lot of my work has been with individuals who find themselves at a crossroads in life, struggling to fully engage with their life in a meaningful way. Whether due to the weight of past experiences or self-limiting beliefs, I work collaboratively with individuals to better understand and work with these undermining forces. As a therapist, part of my work is to hold space for my clients so that they can undertake the process of charting a new course, exploring past and present barriers that interfere with their ability to achieve success in work, relationships, and everyday life. I believe that we possess strengths that spring forward from our innate resilience, key allies that are uncovered and activated during therapy. Through a combination of focused talk therapy, personalized goals, and other creative tools, the goal is to outline a strategy for transforming negative emotions, relationship conflicts, fears, and self-defeating habitual patterns as a pathway to freedom and healing. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with 20 years of professional clinical experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, LGBTQIA+ support, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, depression, and adjustment to life changes.
