Therapists in Hollywood, FL

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 am licensed in Florida with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe we are the sum of what we encounter in life and how we react to these encounters. Encounters began during the time where we relied on others to love and protect us. When we didn’t have control over what happened to us. Sometimes leaving us with an uneasy perception of the world. If the perception is bad, the world is bad. If the perception is unsafe, the world is unsafe. If the perception is untrustworthy, the world is untrusting. Now the world in front of us has become full of unsatisfying feelings and a journey trying to escape emotional pain. As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I combine the world of mental health and family/relational conflicts to help guide clients to a space where healing can begin. For over 13 years, my work includes working with children from infancy to teenagers; young adults to geriatric; and with families, from single parents to blended. If you are tired of running from memories; need help with regaining the control you thought you lost or you’re ready to deal with the personality that life experiences have created in you, we can join forces and I can help guide you to a place of healing and understanding. However, I utilize psychoeducational concepts in addition to other strategies and my environment is very relaxing. If you need someone to tell you how to feel, I may not be able to be that one and that's ok. The journey is yours to understand so that you can heal. Let’s work on developing a new meaning of your life so you can become a better you.
