Hi, My name is Kiara and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I have over 8 years of experience working in the field and I am very passionate for this work! I have worked in a variety of settings including clinics, hospitals, outpatient, in homes and addictions. I have experience working with adults, couples and teenagers who come to me for an array of reasons. I have about 5 years experience working with substance abuse and addictions for teenagers and adults as well as sexual assault and trauma. With the climate of today's world, I understand the importance of multi-cultural preferences and I am open to meeting the needs of my clients. The hardest step of the process of going to therapy, is actually taking the action to seeking support. And here you are! I would like to describe my approach to clients as very welcoming and warm. My clients provide the expectations and the goals in our sessions, my job is to offer support and guidance through the process. Counseling is about you and meeting the needs you have for yourself, not what others perpetuate your needs to be. I want you to leave my session feeling as though you are closer to meeting your goals. I use a client-centered, solution-focused approach. Much of my sessions include works from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and narrative therapy. This means, we work on what your needs are and how we can get you- your mind and body, on the same page. I am open in sessions and very engaging. I listen to you and we work together! With my personal experiences, coupled with my professional experiences, I am able to offer comfort to my client. I was a military brat, moved to over 12 different states and I have traveled to over 10 different countries. I am a professional at adaptation and being resilient as well as talking to new people. I know life is not always rainbows and sunshine, but I have learned the importance of interpretation and framing our perspectives. It makes such a difference! I am eager to start working together with you and look forward to our journey together!

My name is Osa J Holmes [MSED LCSW CCTP RRT] . I am a compassionate healer with more than 35 years of experience working with children, teens and adults in mental health, substance abuse and educational settings and in my private practice. My focus and passion in the work is based in a belief that all therapy interventions should be of value to the recipient, and all wounds and conflicts can be lessened. Skilled attention to them in a safe environment is the key, and I have studied and practiced for decades to offer that skilled environment and facilitate the journey to resolution for the people I serve. I am an experienced teacher, having presented classes for parents, infants, pre-school, and K-12 in the behavioral classroom. I've taught as an adjunct professor at the University of Maine [UMF] as well as Indian River State College. I'm also a qualified Behavioral Health assessor, having provided comprehensive assessment of infants, children and adults for the Department of Human Services and Department of Juvenile Justice, and has served many times as an expert witness. As a teacher, I have supervised student teachers in their journey to licensure, as well as supervising clinical social workers, in their internships and their journey to an independent license. I often work with children or adults who are seeking to resolve upset, related to behavioral concerns, trauma histories and life challenges including addiction. I have experience working with children with special needs and their families, working with the resolution of panic and anxiety, depression ad other mood disturbances, in individual, family or group therapy. I have worked with children separated from their families and transitioning to independence or to a new home placement. The primary focus of my work is in resolving what is presented as "the challenge" and assisting in the transition to more ease and comfort in relationships and life situations. I look forward to working with you!

I am a LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) currently licensed in Florida. I have 5 years experience in this capacity, as well as 24 years as a para-professional providing crisis response services (CISM, Peer Support) to First Responders (I am a retired Law Enforcement Officer with 28 years of experience). In addition to my first responder work, I have also had the pleasure of providing counseling services to many of the same people that I had arrested. I mention this because it is not where you've been or where you're at, but where you want to be. I value the person. I have worked with clients over trauma issues, anxiety, depression, coping, existential/quality of life concerns, etc. I take an integrative approach to counseling, adjusting to best serve the client's needs. I am direct and factual in my approach with clients, as I don't believe in ambiguity or leaving someone guessing. That being said, effective counseling also requires warmth, caring and support. I find that a sprinkling of appropriate humor helps to facilitate the process, but most of all, sincerity is the key to a successful collaborative experience. I bring a lot of life experience to counseling, especially trauma/crisis issues for First Responders. I do not just talk the talk, I have walked the walk.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with 27 years of experience. I utilize several different therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Neuro Linguistic Programming. Humor is something else I often use in therapy. I provide brief psychotherapy, usually lasting no more than eight sessions. My job is to give you some tools to help you along your journey, and then get out of your way. My hope is that I can help you learn to cope with life's roadblocks and realize your dreams. I'm going to be honest. If you are looking to spend five years in therapy exploring everything that ever happened to you and trying to figure out who you are, I'm not your guy. I'm sure there are plenty of therapists on Better Help that will help you with that. No hard feelings:-).

Why doesn’t my family understand me? Why do I keep making bad choices? Why do I feel like I am always getting in trouble? Why does no one listen to me? Is there something wrong with me? Do my parents love me? Does anyone love me? These are common thoughts that constantly run through our minds. It can happen daily. Maybe you feel as if you will be judged if you receive mental health services. These thoughts often lead to feelings of worthlessness, depression, anxiety, failure, loneliness and low self-esteem. These feelings lead to self-harm, thoughts of suicide, arrests, and other decisions that can have a negative impact on your life. You are not alone. It shows great strength to admit you may need someone to talk to. I am a solution focused and goal oriented therapist. I utilize various techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, play therapy, trauma focused therapy, behavior modification, etc. I believe in working together to create an individualized plan for you. I bring a different perspective then others may and through this it can help you with coming to a new perspective of yourself. I help with learning coping skills, developing problem solving skills, communication techniques, anger management, etc. I work with you to help you discover the next steps you need to take to help improve yourself and to grow. I graduated from University of South Florida with a Master of Arts degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling. I am bilingual in English and Spanish.
