I am an Education Specialist and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Ohio.

I believe talking things out is helpful for so many reasons, so I do my best to create a safe space to allow you to feel comfortable saying whatever you need to say. I have been in helping professions in some manner for over 20 years. I have experience with stress, depression, anxiety, postpartum depression/anxiety, and couples.

I am a clinical social worker with more than 17 years of experience working as a clinical therapist in private practice settings. I have worked with people who experience a wide range of concerns including first responders, people who have experienced sexual trauma, people who have experienced child abuse/neglect, and people in healing/recovery from distress caused by relationship issues. I work with people who experience CPTSD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues of all kinds. I work with teens, couples and men and women. And I work with people who need more joy and happiness in their lives! Therapy helps address what is not working and can be used to strengthen what is working. So the focus is also on strengths and how to leverage those to overcome past experiences. We blend those strengths with a therapist who believes in you and your capacity to heal and utilize strong clinical interventions. Diagnosis simply describes a pattern of experiences- I'm less interested in that and more interested in how to help you find freedom from what limits you and traveling with you on the path of wellness, balance, embodiment, peace, self-compassion and self-love, and authentic happiness. My counseling style is warm and interactive, we are partners in this process. I am training in Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry program. This is a cutting-edge thinking and treatment paradigm for addiction and trauma. This program recognizes somatic sensation as the point of entry for understanding past experiences and holding deep compassion for where we are now. I am trained in EMDR as well as Accelerated Resolution Therapy. I use aspects of Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, REBT, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Somatic Therapy and humor- all grounded in a deep respect for our experiences and for the people I work with. I know how much courage it can take to reach out- do it, you are worth it all. I look forward to working with you!

12 years offering treatment
My name is Wade Arnold. I earned an MS in Counselor Education from Mississippi State University, an MDiv in Theology from Baylor University, and a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Florida. I have served as a staff psychologist and professor at several universities and I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the State of Florida. If I were you, I would find it helpful to understand a little about the process of therapy or how a particular counselor works. I call my approach to psychotherapy an integrated, pragmatic approach. While I draw on many different counseling theories, I tend to think about the issues that bring individuals and couples into my practice in cognitive behavioral and interpersonal terms. Specifically, the two psychological theories on which I rely most frequently is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (GBT) and Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy (TLDP). CBT assumes that we interpret the events we encounter in a way that elicits emotional and behavioral responses. It follows that if we want to change our emotions and behavior, we begin by reinterpreting the events we encounter. TLDP assumes that problems in living are the result of cyclical maladaptive interpersonal patterns. In brief, this approach to psychotherapy holds that 1) we perceive ourselves in certain ways and we engage in certain behaviors which leads us to 2) expect specific reactions from other people, and 3) that others respond to us in ways that either confirm or disconfirm our expectations, and 4) that as a result of this process we develop ideas about who we are and how we should act in the world . For instance, if Harry meets Sally and he expects Sally to reject him, Harry may be overly protective of himself and fail to demonstrate his interest in Sally. Sally may perceive Harry as aloof and misinterpret his fear of rejection as a lack of interest. As a result, Sally doesn’t show her interest in Harry. In the end, both Harry and Sally feel rejected (thus, confirming Harry’s expectation of being rejected) because both Harry and Sally misinterpreted the other's behavior. My ideal clients are the ones I know that I will have the greatest probably of helping achieve their goals. To that end, I know I work best with people who are: 1) experiencing anxiety and/or depression; 2) struggling with relationships (e.g. couples, friendships); 3) Christians. This is not to say that I don’t work with people who are experiencing other issues, or who do not share my beliefs; however, these are the types of issues that I have had the most experience and success helping resolve, and the world view from which I work. If this approach sounds like something you can commit to, then contact me to set up a video session. I am currently accepting clients Monday through Thursday from 1:00 to 4:00 PM EST.

I am a licensed mental health counselor practicing in the state of Florida for the past 13 years. Much of my experience comes from working in a community mental health non-profit. This has given me the good fortune to work with adults and adolescents from all walks of life with all sorts of struggles, from mood disorders such as depression, difficulties with anger management and anxiety, to struggles within a family or relationship, to finding ways to cope with the everyday stressors that come with living in a very complicated time. I am a firm believer that anyone can benefit from counseling without some negative stigma. We all have times when a little outside perspective can help. I believe therapy should be an active conversation; we have moved far beyond laying on a couch and staring at a ceiling. My interventions often tend to be eclectic - a mixture of cognitive behavioral therapy, existentialism, solution focused treatment, client centered treatment, and even some humor when appropriate. Opening up about the difficulties we face can be a challenging but liberating experience. I applaud you taking this first step, and look forward to working with you.

Dustin R. Kebre; M.A; LMFT; MT 3057 ; I take a special interest in treating trauma, anxiety & depressive disorders in adults. I was intensively trained in and believe the focus of counseling is to not only work on managing your current struggles, but to develop the tools needed to independently manage future obstacles as well. I use a combination of reflective listening, as well as an instructional approach, to help guide you towards becoming the best version of you! I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology and a License in Marital and Family Therapy. I treat individuals, couples and families. I specialize in healing people from pain and suffering. I believe the connection you can develop during therapy provides an environment where you can feel safe and nurtured. We all need this kind of support in a world that seems to care less and less about your needs as a human being. The first step is the most difficult; however, often the most life changing. I look forward in helping you transform your life and be the person you were meant to be. I am a graduate of Pepperdine University, I am proficient in treating minor to severe mental health issues and disorders. I have extensive experience working with dual diagnosis and addiction. I am competent in healing people with minor to severe mental health issues including trauma and personality disorders. I specialize in treating individuals, couples and families from a family system perspective, as well using multiple evidence based modalities in a integrative approach. My therapeutic approach is to provide a supportive environment that will in turn provide my clients with the ability to make effective change and overcome personal life challenges. I offer a personalized approach to each client with compassion and empathy. I look forward to help someone grow and overcome, one person at a time. Frustrated of being told to "relax", "calm down", "you are too sensitive", "grow up" & "get over it already, or "you worry to much"? People tell you this as if you do not want to relax, stop overthinking, overreact and worry! If you could, you would! Being told this from friends and loved ones does not help. In fact, it can cause you to feel much worse! You probably have tried to stop on your own, but your mind continues to fill up with thoughts that cause you to become stressed and you struggle to turn your brain off! You are not alone! I get it and can absolutely relate! This why I am so dedicated in helping people find relief! I can help you find your true self. You do not have to feel this way forever. I pride myself on a human and authentic approach. Isn't it time you face making positive changes to start really living again? I want to help you! Let's get started now & do this right!
