I am a counselor licensed in Georgia as an LPC and Florida as an LMHC while also pursing licensure to become a licensed psychologist. I have worked in mental health since 2006 both in hospital and outpatient clinic settings. Most of my experience has been focused with, both, the veteran population and LGBTQ+ community addressing various issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, as well as issues related to sexual identity and orientation. Trauma-focused treatment and LGBTQ+ studies are areas that I've specialized in. My counseling approach is providing supportive and understanding. I firmly believe that for change to occur there must be respect, compassion, dignity, and receiving feedback to meet individuals where the client is. I attempt to remove stigma and labels associated with mental health. My main therapeutic approach is behavioral-cognitive and solution-focused however open to adapting and modifying with other therapies including motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. To seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the needed steps towards this positive change it takes courage. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. Important to note that I work on this platform part-time while working full-time at a hospital. As such offer evening hours during the week and more availability on weekends. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist, a Board Certified Sex Therapist and a Clinical Sexologist. I take a wholistic approach to healing, mind body and spirit. I incorporate Spirituality in healing because this permeates different areas in a person's life. There will be times when I will refer to a Psychiatrist or a Urologist when the issues are beyond my scope of practice. I use different interventions in the healing processes. Some interventions I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectal Therapy, EFT and the Gottman Method. There are times when the trauma is complex or beyond the person's awareness and I will use Brainspotting, Hypnotherapy or Somatic Experiencing. However, the intervention (s) are tailored specifically to the clients needs. The goal for each client is to help them to function at an optimum level. I am committed to changing lives, one person and one family at a time. It will be an honor and a privilege to work with you to achieve your goals.

Hi! I’m Cindy Dietrich, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and I provide individual therapy services in Florida. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. As everyone is different, I feel there is no single therapeutic approach that works for everyone. I have sought training in multiple therapeutic modalities including Play Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Infant Mental Health (IMH), Brazelton Touchpoint, Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My education, knowledge, and experience can help individuals of all ages overcome sexual, physical and emotional abuse, sexual trauma such as rape, domestic violence, infidelity, witnessing violence, divorce, bullying, and other devastating traumas. Our goal is to achieve improved mental wellness and a higher quality of life. Trauma reshapes the brain and has negative impacts; emotionally and mentally. But you don’t have to do it alone. I will walk alongside you and we will work through these challenges together. We will pick up the pieces together as you begin to heal. As a therapist, my biggest goal is to ensure you feel validated, safe, and comfortable as we work together to processes and resolve the trauma that has too long overwhelmed your life. Let me congratulate you for taking the first step at improving your tomorrow! I am here to listen and support you in the way you need with a safe and encouraging environment.
