On the banks of Lake Okeechobee, the town of Clewiston, Florida is home to the Dixie Crystal Theatre and Clewiston Museum. Because of all the sugar plantations around the town, it was named America’s sweetest town, which is still in operation there. However, when you are not feeling your best, you don’t care much about the theatre, museums, or sugar plantations. In fact, when you are depressed or anxious, you may not feel like doing anything.

Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, or have any other mental or emotional concerns, talking to a professional can help. Fortunately, there are many therapists and counselors in the Clewiston area who can help.

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have been working with individuals, families, teens and children in a variety of mental health settings over the last 13 years. I have always known I wanted to go into the mental health field, mainly because I love helping others in any capacity that I can. I started my career working at an residential mental health facility that handled a spectrum of different problems. As a hands on mental health technician, I worked one on one with critical patients, and later as a life management counselor, I led small groups on depression, stress management, familial stress, career development and addiction. After that, I worked in an inpatient and outpatient facility, for adults, children and teens with eating disorders, anxiety, depression and multiple forms of addiction. I have a particular interest in process addictions, including but not limited to: gaming, internet addiction, and pornography addiction and the toll they can take on the family unit as a whole. I have worked with all different types of clients, from those with grief and marital discord, to others coping with PTSD or trauma. I have worked in a school setting, collaborating with families of specials needs children, with disabilities such as Autism and chronic health issues. Additionally, I specialize in working with children and adults with chronic illnesses that may make it impossible for them to seek counseling elsewhere. I have worked for BetterHelp since 2017 as a therapist providing online services. I have a Bachelor of Science degree (B.S.) in Psychology from the University of Central Florida, and Master of Arts (M.A.) in Mental Health Counseling also from the University of Central Florida. I am a Certified School Counselor in the State of Florida, and hold credentials that allow me to work in an educational setting as well as mental health setting. I work from a cognitive behavioral standpoint, but also use Solution Focused therapy whenever possible, to help you achieve your goals as quickly as possible. Helping you feel better is my main goal in treatment. I utilize compassion and understanding to help my clients feel comfortable, and appreciate that personal growth can happen in many different ways. I look forward to working with you on your journey.

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.

Hello! I’m David Affolter, I have been helping people most of my adult life. It just seems that has been a major motivation for me. After college and service in the Air Force, I really was confronted with the reality that I needed to choose a direction in life. I made a decision that it had to be something that would bring me lasting satisfaction. I would feel good about myself. I became a high school teacher and coach, and I loved doing that for almost twenty years. I experienced the joy of seeing young people do things they thought they couldn’t ever do. In my teaching, I always seemed to be drawn to the students who seemed like they were struggling to find their way. Students came to me for someone to listen to them and help them find their way. I have the joy today of keeping in touch via social media, and I watching as they grow their own families and follow their own path. After those teaching years and my own daughters moved on to college and adult life, I felt the urge to keep helping people, but I felt moved to go into counseling. With the support of my wife, I completed a graduate/professional degree in Community Counseling at The University of Akron in 1994 and became a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio and am also a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. It really was a smooth transition, and I have learned that a significant part of counseling is giving people new information and perspectives and helping them decide where they want to go and how to get there. I have continued now for over twenty years in helping people deal with a variety of problems in their lives, and the large majority are able to feel good about themselves and able to move in the direction they choose. I have learned how life has wounded people and how to help them heal from those wounds. I have seen people who thought their lives were over but have learned in therapy how to build new ways of being and living that lead them to new destinations—destinations that many never thought they would arrive at in the beginning. I know when I reflect on my own journey over the past fifty years or so, I am amazed at the variety of things life has brought my way, and the lessons I have learned along the way. It is a very humbling experience watching people gain the courage to change and move forward in ways they never believed they could. If this kind of experience is something that you believe would be helpful to you, then you are in the right place. I can join you on your journey and help you find your way to your new destination—a new way of looking at yourself, a new career path, finding new friends, or finding a new spirituality to give new meaning and purpose to your life. I look forward to assisting you on your journey to your new destination!

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Clewiston area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Clewiston therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Clewiston due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Clewiston may not take health insurance, some in the state of Florida may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Florida you can expect significantly more affordable options, with therapists sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Therapists have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training and practice with a patient, and extensive experience in a healthcare clinic or treatment centers, in order to become a mental health provider. While their lived experience, expertise, careers, and background vary, therapists here all possess at least 3 years and 1,000 hours of hands-on experience with adult and sometimes teen patients, and have the necessary therapist credentials to provide a safe space for long lasting emotional healing in therapy.

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

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Clewiston therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors and therapists are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Clewiston therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Clewiston therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in FL, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles or therapists above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 33440 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site where you can schedule a session based on your and the therapist's schedule. No matter if you are seeking help from therapists in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Clewiston counselor?

Before seeing your Clewiston therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Clewiston therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

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

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Clewiston licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Clewiston counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

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. A psychologist 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 psychologist in Clewiston, 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.

Clewiston 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 therapists 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.
