I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. For more than 20 years I have worked primarily with families; focusing on behavioral problems and how to resolve issues within the family as a whole. Working with families this way has provided me with many opportunities to help resolve a very wide range of issues including, but not limited to, depression, stress and anxiety, parenting issues, anger and control issues, trust, infidelity, jealousy issues, time management and much more. I have worked with families that have children with Autism, ADHD, ODD and other childhood mental health issues. Most of the families I worked with throughout my career so far, have been referred due to DCF involvement and/or abuse reports having been under investigation. I also spent 10 years doing crisis counseling in a psychiatric hospital. My counseling style is laid back, but intense. Being a solution-focused therapist, I believe in identifying the areas of a person's life that needs changes the most and developing plans on how best to initiate changes, fairly quickly after we begin. I believe each person is the expert on themselves: you will tell me the best way for you to achieve your goals. I am a compassionate, respectful and non-judgmental person. I need your honest feedback on the therapeutic process, once we begin, for the process to have optimal success. They say the first step is the hardest one, but if you are looking at therapist profiles, you've already started on your journey to a happier, more fulfilling lifestyle. Good for you and stay positive for greatest success with your endeavors! Change is hard, but with the right guidance and information, making lifestyle changes can be much easier than going the whole way without any support whatsoever. AND, change can happen rather quickly. Studies have shown that a new behavior (on average) takes 66 days to become automatic. There really is a light at the end of the tunnel:)

Feeling overwhelmed by the emotional rollercoaster of life? Do you find yourself grappling with feelings of depression, anxiety, work-related challenges, financial issues, or relationship struggles on a daily basis? Maybe you are also dealing with the loss of a loved one, leading to emotions of anger and confusion. Challenges such as these can have a major impact on your daily life and your ability to function as you did before. If I may, allow me to introduce myself. I’m Nakei (pronounced Na-Key) and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who have had the pleasure of assisting individuals who faced challenges in areas just like you. While occasional stress is common, persistent high-stress levels over prolonged periods will impact both your mental and physical health. Hence, it is crucial to prioritize your mental well-being, and therapy can provide you with the healthy coping strategies you need to be able to work through everyday challenges! As a therapist, my goal is to empower individuals with the tools they need to live exceptional lives! I help people uncover their inner strength and resilience by highlighting the significance of nurturing positive coping strategies and self-awareness. Through customized interventions and interactive exercises, I aim to help them confront challenges with confidence and tackle obstacles with resolve. I enjoy helping people see that every life challenge presents a chance for personal development and learning, even when the road ahead seems tough. Embrace the idea that the journey may be unclear, recognizing that it is within life's unpredictability that true transformations occur. So, inhale deeply, move forward with bravery, and embrace the journey that lies ahead. I am delighted to start a journey with you towards self-exploration and personal growth!
