It takes courage to admit that your life is not fulfilling and that you are not happy with your life. And even more courage to take the first steps towards making a change. If you are ready to take those steps I am here to support and empower you on your journey. My counseling style is interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in labels. My approach is eclectic in that I combine various techniques to meet the client where they are. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am a licensed mental health counselor in the State of Florida. I have over 10 years of experience working as a therapist in a variety of different environments. I have worked with clients suffering from a wide range of concerns including but not limited to depression, anxiety and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma, sexual trauma or emotional abuse. I like to use mindfulness based practices to increase a personal awareness, cultivate compassion, build resiliency and help you to stay grounded in the present moment. I look forward to working with you!

I am a counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida and have approximately 10 years experience working in the areas of substance abuse, family/couples counseling and mental health. I have lived most of my life in Georgia and worked with military families and couples for almost two years before my move to Florida. I have worked with individuals with the following concerns: anxiety, self harm, gender dysphoria, substance use disorders/addiction, co-occurring disorders, grief & loss, psychosis, PTSD, trauma, and ADHD . My counseling style is laid back and collaborative. I often like to give homework assignments to practice items that we've talked about in session, but I want you to get the most of our time together. I think that I have a very compassionate and empathetic style of confrontation and believe that rapport building is one of the most key parts of the process. I believe in a team approach as we make progress towards your goals. As a transparent note, I will not consider providing any letters or documentation until we have worked together for a consistent amount of time (no less than 6-8 sessions). I am mother to a toddler boy and have a husband who is gone for work often so my schedule is not as open as I would like. Please feel free to message me with specific requests or needs and I will accommodate as much as I can. I look forward to working with you.

My name is William Scott Natale. I have been a License Clinical Social Worker in FL since 2006. I have worked the most with clients who are coping with trauma and the result of poor or longer useful coping methods . For example, co-dependence, drug and alcohol abuse and self-harm behaviors. However, my focus with patients typically is built on communication style and following a trusted process for improved confidence and self esteem. Cognitive and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy is used most often in my practice with patients. I am happy you are considering a more satisfying way of life. Believe me, it is my pleasure to help you do that. Together, we can look at disappointments, core beliefs that support dysfunction, and determine the best way out. All you that will be asked of you is to participate in therapy with the courage and open mindedness needed to be honest about what is getting in the way and be willing to cope with the discomfort that often is associated with learning something new. I will do the work to provide help to you, All you need to do is participate, and again it will be my pleasure.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Florida in 1996, my Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida International University in 2002, and obtained my LCSW (SW 16005) in 2019. I have experience working with adults of all ages, children, and families over the past 20 years in a number of different settings. I offer clients compassion, understanding, and patience in order to explore feelings, emotions, and patterns that may be getting in the way of living a happier and more fulfilling life. I take a person-centered approach in which clients are able to take more of a lead in therapy in order to discover their own solutions. I encourage, support, and guide the therapeutic process without interrupting or interfering with the client’s process of self-discovery. I believe in providing a safe, supportive, and caring environment for clients to be able to open up and freely express themselves. Clients are able to be vulnerable and share their fears, struggles, and emotions that they do not feel comfortable sharing with their friends or family.

40 years offering treatment
I am licensed in Florida with over 40 years of professional experience. I agree with the philosophy that crisis is a combination of danger and opportunity. Human beings are very delicate emotionally and can suffer tremendously. My clinical experiences over the years have been very broad from child service agencies to residential treatment to outpatient psychiatry. Currently I work with individuals and families who struggle with with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. I welcome longer term, deeper therapy work as well as problem-focused counseling with cognitive-behavioral interventions. Psychotherapy is essentially the process of understanding and embracing the givens of our biology and personality and why we behave and feel the way we do. No more and no less. Responding proactively to problems in one's health, career, and close relationships can create significant opportunities for positive changes and personal growth. Being married for 42 years (still), raising two kids and contributing to the domestic tranquility with extended family and close friends has been my most challenging and rewarding experience. The quality of my relationships and the quality of my persistent inner dialogue along with my physical health determine the QUALITY of my life.
