Therapists in Green Cove Springs, FL
Green Cove Springs is named after the section of the Saint Johns River where the city is built. At the Riverbend, there is a grove of trees that shelter the river, giving it a green cover. The town is also famous for its natural spring that was locally known as the original fountain of youth where the clear water feeds the public swimming pool before flowing into the Saint Johns River.
At times, you may not feel like enjoying the springs, the swimming pool, the river, or anything else. These can be signs of a mental or emotional disorder that can be treated by a mental health professional in the Green Cove Springs area. If you need help, just reach out today to one of the counselors or therapists in and around Green Cove Springs.

Our life path is full of ups and downs with unexpected twists and turns. We learn to develop a way of coping whether it is a positive or negative method to help deal with stressors or adapt to change. However, the majority of the time, we fall back on what we are accustomed to when dealing with a stressful situation or unexpected change; such as becoming confused, frustrated, emotional, withdrawing, angry, combative, or ignoring the situation and hoping the situation will just magically disappear or be resolved. Sometimes we need assistance to develop positive coping skills to deal with unexpected change or stressful situations. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families to overcome numerous challenges. Besides treating many mental health conditions, I have specialized training in treating anxiety, career, conflict, depression, grief, self-esteem, anger management, behavior issues, stress, trauma, substance abuse, and co-occurring disorder. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Solution Focus Brief Therapy, and Strength-based therapy. I encourage collaboration from you when designing a treatment plan to ensure it is implemented properly and to increase the potential for a successful outcome. Your well-being is my priority, and I am looking forward to helping you meet your goal.
