Kimberly Herring
Hi. I'm a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 20 years of experience. I've worked with adolescents to older adults, victim's of crime to inmates, people with one diagnosis to those with co-occurring disorders, dual diagnosis, in the outpatient and inpatient setting, with individuals and groups. I spent several years as a rape crisis and trauma recovery therapist at a local Community Mental Health Center; most of my experience has been in the non-profit arena. I'm passionate about women's issues but I enjoy working with all different kinds of people and problems and my treatment approach reflects that. I use an eclectic variety of theories to help people. I enjoy challenging clients to challenge themselves, to learn and grow. I find cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to broadly be the most effective approach but sometimes dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) or client-centered works best. Sometimes people have what they need to get things worked out and just might need a solid sounding broad; to offer support by just listening & normalizing what they're going through. Whatever the need may be, my goal is to offer a supportive and safe space to address it. I start by meeting the client where they are and continue by working collaboratively with them to achieve their goals. I strive to empower them, by building on the strengths they already have and providing the skills and tools they may be missing. I enjoy helping people be their whole and authentic self!

David Jedrziewski
I am dual licensed as both a marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I use a client centered approach to counseling, bringing in other theoretical approaches (i.e., CBT, DBT, Narrative) as necessary for an individual's concerns. I believe strongly in a powerful client/therapist alliance with unconditional positive regard for my clients. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I have worked with individuals from 4 to 85 across numerous mental health issues. I have been doing grief, loss and trauma counseling for more than 20 years, as well as significant experience with PTSD/Trauma/Acute Stress in both military and private individuals. I hold 2 advanced certifications in complex clinical trauma and suicide prevention. I will will ensure that our dialog and treatment planning is done to to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe that no one should ever have to suffer alone. I am here for you. I have extensive experience working with the military population and families. I believe that everyone has the power within themselves to achieve wellness - we just need to identify and unlock that power. Sometimes we live our lives in chains and never even know we have the key. I believe it takes courage and a hope for a better, happier, and more fulfilling life to take those first steps towards positive change. If you are ready to take that first step I will be here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Lawrence "Anton" Feriozzi
I have a passionate commitment to provide each client with the approach and strategies that will best ensure they acquire their desired goals, prioritizing expeditious relief from unwanted symptoms. A major reason psychological pain is prolonged is because its causes remain elusive to the sufferer. Relief occurs as we discover and address their causes. Often, this only occurs in a special relationship where we feel comfortable discussing sensitive, confusing and painful issues. If efforts toward relief fail without this special relationship, as they typically do, each disappointment expands a threatening belief that we are beyond help. I lived with this threatening belief into midlife, until finding my special relationship with an extraordinary therapist. This experience played a critical role in my becoming a therapist to discover my vocational passion. In my years as a therapist, I have been honored to partner with a wide diversity of clients, facilitate their progress and witness so many of their life-affirming changes. I listen with compassion and a professional curiosity to sympathetically understand from the client's perspective. I place the highest importance on maintaining privacy and being free of moral judgment. I nourish hope, facilitate the client's discovering their unique path out of pain and into greater wholeness, for control over symptoms and toward the life they most authentically want. While having a psychodynamic orientation, I utilize many cognitive-behavioral strategies within a person-centered framework that prioritizes the client-therapist relationship. I have specific knowledge, experience and developed skills working with men, adolescents males, recent mothers, mother's with adolescent boys, gender specific issues, mature/older men and women, gay and lesbian issues, and with transgendered clients. While successful in treating a wide range of mental health problems in adults and adolescents, I have specialized training and experience treating individuals with trauma, depression, mood, personality, substance-abuse, co-occurring disorders and with men's issues.
