Therapists in Lake Mary, FL

Hello! I'm Janet Larsen Caldwell, a licensed mental health counselor in both New York and Florida and I am wondering: Have you ever scrutinized your relationships with your children or the connection between you and your partner? Are you trying to balance work and home? Are you blaming yourself or have you ever had the feeling that maybe it's you, but would never want to reveal that? If you or a family member has been diagnosed with ADHD, you may be in luck here. Your ADHD personality and/or cultural upbringing may be preventing you from the happiness you desire with the special people in your life! Instead of labeling your issues and behaviors, we can work with what you have. By making changes to accommodate your needs and relieve you of those unwanted feelings of anxiety, depression, stress and, perhaps, loneliness, you and your family will be on your way to increased happiness. Through BetterHelp I provide a safe and welcoming space to discuss the ADHD issues you are tired of ruminating about. If you have reached out to your family and friends and they have not been helpful, it may be too uncomfortable for them, besides not having the answers you need. After studying nursing in college for two years, I decided that the profession was not for me. I have a BA in Human Development from SUNY Empire State College and a graduate degree in Counseling and Community Psychology from Sage Graduate School.

Hello to all viewing my profile! I prefer to think of it as a first step towards my possibly helping you cope with life and reach your goals more effectively. I'm Cindy K. Stewart-Sampson, Ph.D, LCSW, and have been employed as a School Social Worker since 1985. I've served ages PK-Adult Education. I also taught college and adult education on a part-time basis in the areas of : Sociology, Social Work, Human Services, Stress Management, and Assertiveness Training. I have experience in preparing home studies for international adoptions, home health care in the area of Social Work, outpatient mental health counseling, Psychiatric Inpatient Social Work, and served as a consultant in the area of Disability Qualifications in the state of Indiana. I have intense experience in preparing psycho-social evaluations for those entering or being served in Special Education Services. I've done dropout and suicide prevention training within school systems. My Christian faith is my guiding force in life although I do not impose my views on anyone. I feel most effective in assisting in bereavement counseling and grief awareness as I am the bereaved mother of 2 children. I've spoken and written about grief awareness. I also feel versed in dealing with the complexities of being a special needs parent due to my daughter having endured a chromosome disorder. I've dealt with varying exceptionalities with students ages 0- adult throughout my 35 years as a school social worker as well as dealing with foster care students. Most of all, I strive to make the world a better place by assisting in the areas where I am most helpful and truly believe in the "Each One Reach One," philosophy. I don't view life as ever becoming perfect but I do believe that we can make it more meaningful despite our hardships; some of which exist throughout life. I have an impulsive Yorkie Dog and I believe in Pet Therapy! I was given her within a couple of months of losing my daughter; and named her "Hope," believing that she can be one of the ingredients of the world which will give me the hope to go on. I'd like to provide you with hope as well. Best to all!
