Therapists in Lake Worth, FL

I am a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of clinical experience. I completed my doctoral training in Clinical Psychology at the University of South Florida followed by clinical internship in Medical and Health Psychology at the University of Florida/Shands Hospital. I completed a two year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of South Florida Department of Internal Medicine specializing in eating/weight disorders, anxiety, OCD, depression and general stress management. More recently, I have had the privilege of providing mental health services to our nation's veterans, many of whom are adjusting to life with a spinal cord injury or disease (trauma, ALS, MS). I have additional certification in evidence-based treatment for PTSD and trauma. Although I am trained to provide research-supported therapies for a multitude of emotional and behavioral problems (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Mindfulness, Exposure Therapy, Behavioral Therapy), I find it very important to individualize therapy based one's unique circumstances and needs. I also understand that sometimes life can just seem a bit overwhelming, and what is most helpful is more general stress management and support through a difficult life transition or situation. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we will work together to determine your specific needs and goals. I am so glad you are considering some extra support. It certainly takes courage to reach out for help. I look forward to working with you!

Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor who lives in Florida. I received my M.Ed./Ed.S. degrees from the University of Florida. I have been working as a therapist in the mental health field for over 15 years in residential and outpatient treatment centers for substance abuse as well as outpatient mental health facilities. I have worked with a variety of issues that include depression, anxiety (in its many forms), existential issues and lack of meaning/purpose, addiction, trauma, identity, and low self-esteem. I have run therapy groups on these topics as well as: creating rules for happiness, communication, analyzing problems, and conflict resolution; which makes it sound like I have seen it all but I learn from my clients each day. I enjoy being able to provide mental health services to those who are struggling with life's varied possibilities and challenges. To me, therapy is an egalitarian process. I believe that you have the ability to change and find meaning in your life. I refer to myself as an existential, narrative, and reality therapist but I have also used feminist theory when needed as well as behavioral analysis. What this really means is that I am eclectic in my approach and since no two clients are the same, neither are my sessions or my approaches. I like to give assignments that speak to each individual’s unique personal makeup, so be ready to bring some creativity to our sessions! I previously sat on a statewide ethics committee, so I am sensitive an individual's ethical considerations and quandaries in their own life. I have availability to respond to messages twice a day (morning and late afternoon). I look forward to working together and taking part in your journey of self-improvement.
