**[SUMMER/FALL 2024] • Current Availability: - TUESDAYS: EARLY AM, MIDDAY - WEDNESDAYS: EARLY AM, MIDDAY • Current Session Times: -9AM-2:30PM Eastern / 5AM-11:30AM Pacific • Clients: - INDIVIDUALS - ADULTS (22+) - POC, WOC, BLKM, BIPOC -------------------- Hello. I am a psychotherapist based in South Florida. I talk with you about whatever matters most to you. I support those who are ready for change. I specialize in Stress, Trauma, Anxiety, and Depression. I help you remember that, despite difficult ordeals, it is possible to move forward. I also remind you that talking helps. My top work entails... "Positive Mental Health by Understanding Ourselves" – I work closely with clients going through Depression, Anxiety, and Trauma. Together we discuss the memories and feelings that you're struggling with and figure out healthy ways to talk and cope. Plus, lots of conversation on creating healthy habits, seeing a doctor, when medication is necessary, and how to sustain peace, calm, and balance inside and out. "Situational Depression and Anxiety" – Covid put all of us in different places, situations and changes--some positive, some not so positive. Its repercussions are still present today. This is where you share with me what is going on in your life triggering difficulty in coping with current circumstances. I do mental health assessments, and together we discuss what you're going through, how to express your feelings, and how to lift your mood and focus on thoughts, actions, and behaviors despite how life unfolds. You will learn resilience... essentially how to respond versus react and follow your life values and make decisions accordingly. "Couples Therapy for One" - I am a big proponent to healing relationships if that is a part of your goals. I work with *individuals* as they work to better their relationships or move through relationship conflict, breakup, or even divorce. Some call it "couples therapy" despite it being with just one person present as my client. "Professional Growth/Entrepreneur Mental Health" – I work with those struggling through Stress and Burnout. Particularly to those who are entrepreneurs, business owners, and high achieving professionals facing unique challenges of that lifestyle. Also, this is ideal for those in the helping and caregiving professions such as nurses, therapists, counselors, and first responders. "Health Focused" – Also, I am a medical family therapist. I can talk with you about your chronic pain and/or illness struggles along with medical facets to your diagnosis, treatment and recovery. *MORE ABOUT ME:* I believe mindfulness and self-care are powerful and freeing. I practice solution focused, person-centered, positive psychology everyday. I am enthralled with the stars (of the sky), live for music and travel, and frequently am found taking walks in the South Florida sunshine. In the meantime, I love working with my clients, and supporting them through growth. How can I help you?

Welcome! My name is Jocelyn, I am a licensed mental health counselor and qualified supervisor in the state of Florida (LMHC-QS). I also currently hold a credential as a Board Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC). I have a BA in Experimental Psychology with a minor in Counseling and a MPS (Master of Professional Studies) in Art Therapy and Creativity Development. I have experience working with life transitions, interpersonal development, addictions and anger-management. Navigating goals for Depression, Anxiety, personality disorders and Bipolar symptoms are also areas where I've gained significant experience. Mostly, I've developed an expertise in coping mechanisms through my current work. Therapy and counseling should be a judgement-free zone! My past experience working with those using sexualized coping has allowed for expansive knowledge and understanding of topics we can often find 'embarrassing'. I find myself to be a person-centered therapist who tries to assess what methods best suit each client, individually. I have been working in a hospital setting within intensive outpatient programs for the last 3 years. My methods are wide spread, as I have experience working with cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, motivational interviewing and Art Therapy practices. My background in Art Therapy offers new perspectives into the therapeutic environment. Because we use verbal and written language to communicate on a daily basis, using a creative modality to communicate can eliminate pressure and fear of judgement. Creating something visual offers deeper insight for both the client and counselor. Sometimes, we can't find the exact right words to describe how we're feeling or what we're going through. Sometimes, we just need a place to unload all the gunk we shouldn't be carrying with us throughout our days. Plus, making art is enjoyable! This goes along with my motto of making progress fun! Using visual expression can help to unblock and clear the way for the good stuff. Counseling and/or therapy should be the client's process. I like to create an environment where we are working together in an effort to meet the goals you have established, and creating a trusting therapeutic relationship. My role is to help guide you toward some insights about what's at the root of how you're feeling, not to give you the answers. That way, you can make informed/educated decisions about what will be the best choices, and be able to make similar decisions more confidently later on. Learn more about Art Therapy practices and therapy insights we can use in session on instagram @paintyourprogress I look forward to working with you!
