Therapists in Oldsmar, FL

Hi, my name is Robin Behar and I have been a licensed Psychotherapist in Florida for over 25 years. I have a private practice where I provide individual and couples therapy to all age groups. I also provide supervision to upcoming mental health counselors. My therapy also includes working with horses and dogs for clients who can benefit from that type of therapeutic experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns and a wide range of socio economic backyards, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, grief and loss and ADHD. I also work with clients who are looking for life coaching and counsel people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in working with you as a team at your pace treating you with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, art therapy, and life coaching. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Since 2013, I’ve been successfully counseling individuals, children and families and facilitating their self-growth.I earned my BS in Gerontology, the study of aging, which has provided me with vast theoretical knowledge and insights into ages and stages of the lifespan, as well as hands on experience as a caregiver and protective case manager.

Dr. Bruce Pedigo holds a Doctorate degree with a specialization in Child, Youth, and Family Studies.

Dr. Pedigo's clinical belief is that child and adolescent issues rarely occur in a vacuum but instead are a by product of a breakdown in family relationships, that requires an answer that addresses the needs of all family members. The core of his counseling commitment is to work with the individual and family members to bring about relational reconciliation and personal restoration. One of my core values is a desire to hear each persons "story" We all come from unique place and it is import to me that my clients know that I value them . Each person has won the right to be heard, their opinions and thoughts are important to me. Dr. Pedigo's varied and extensive clinical experience with all client populations is driven by a core commitment to compassionate care and clinical "best practice". He is state licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist and Clinical Social Worker. He is a member of the International Trauma Therapists Association.

Clients need to know that the therapist is competent enough to help them move through their difficult situations and move toward healthy resolution.

It takes courage to take the first steps towards a change. I applaud you for taking the first step toward a more fulfilling, happier life. I believe that YOU are the expert on you. To help you, I bring a boatload of curiosity and a searching, inquisitive nature. You come to therapy with all the clues inside of you. It is my job to help you find the answers. I bring tons of life experience – more than this page can fit. It all serves to aid me in helping you know yourself better. Having confronted my own life’s challenges (with plenty of counseling along the way), I may be the best fit for what you are dealing with. It was always my destiny to become a therapist. I have been studying psychology and neuroscience since I was 17. That curiosity of mine has led me to specialize in different counseling models so that I can create a specialized plan of therapy just for you. I took a long road to become a professional therapist, doing many non-professional interventions along the way. My graduate degree is from Rollins College in Florida, a small liberal arts school with the best counselor education program I could find. My clients have ranged from 17 to 70, with the majority seeking help with depression, anxiety issues, or life changes. I know you and I will work well together. I look forward to beginning the therapy journey with you.
