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

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you and briefly explain the therapeutic process. My name is Gale Kelley and I am a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.), in Clinical Psychology and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. Over the past sixteen years I have provided individual, family, and group psychotherapy to people of all ages and backgrounds who find themselves faced with a variety of mental health concerns. From a client-centered perspective, I believe that we all possess the strengths needed to attain and maintain good mental health and wellbeing, which sometimes requires that we reach out to others. My therapeutic approach is holistic/integrative which emphasizes the mind body connection while incorporating various elements of different theories. Traditional evidence-based therapeutic protocols such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy stresses how people can change negative thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors so they can enjoy a less stressful and more productive lifestyle. I am particularly drawn to psychoeducation to help my clients better understand human behavior and the therapeutic process. My philosophy is that the more we know, the better we understand, and the better we understand, the more likely we are to engage. I utilize a variety of evidence-based assessment instruments that will help me target areas that may be impacting mental health and/or daily functioning. These typically involve a series of questions that you will answer during our first meeting. Then we’ll make a list of goals that you would like to accomplish during our work together. I wholeheartedly encourage a collaborative working relationship and will frequently monitor the progress throughout the therapeutic process. My clients can expect to have a take-away (something that will improve your current situation) from every session. This can be a new perspective of an ongoing problem or an emotional regulation skill that will help you better manage situations you cannot change. I pride myself on providing personalized, comprehensive health care that will focus on wellness and prevention.

So, come and gain insight and judgment that you ALREADY possess in an open and transparent environment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with a master’s degree in Social Work from Western Michigan University. I have many years of experience in counseling working with individuals and groups. Often I found that people want to be heard, understood, validated, and supported. In addition, they want to be inspired and motivated to live the life they deserve. Often perceived as the "strong one" by family, friends, and society, they may have become emotionally fatigued. Together we can discover what mental and emotional roadblocks prevent you from finding your "happy space" and learn how best to navigate those challenges. This process should include a safe/comfortable place, open communication, and honesty. We can work together to change your current narrative. I take a holistic approach to assist you with issues such as anxiety, hopelessness, depression, anger management, and suicidal idealization. Assisting you in learning how to be intentional and work to develop healthier coping skills. By using CBT, ACT, MI models and Mindfulness, we will work toward you accepting your feelings and thoughts, discovering your strengths and creating goals to increase your awareness of your ability to be "happy". I look forward to working with you!

40 years of experience offering psychology treatment
I am licensed in Florida with over 40 years of professional experience. I agree with the philosophy that crisis is a combination of danger and opportunity. Human beings are very delicate emotionally and can suffer tremendously. My clinical experiences over the years have been very broad from child service agencies to residential treatment to outpatient psychiatry. Currently I work with individuals and families who struggle with with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. I welcome longer term, deeper therapy work as well as problem-focused counseling with cognitive-behavioral interventions. Psychotherapy is essentially the process of understanding and embracing the givens of our biology and personality and why we behave and feel the way we do. No more and no less. Responding proactively to problems in one's health, career, and close relationships can create significant opportunities for positive changes and personal growth. Being married for 42 years (still), raising two kids and contributing to the domestic tranquility with extended family and close friends has been my most challenging and rewarding experience. The quality of my relationships and the quality of my persistent inner dialogue along with my physical health determine the QUALITY of my life.

- Counseling with therapists: $100-300

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Belleair?

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Belleair, Florida can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
Belleair has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.
Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
