One of my favorite quotes comes from Arthur Ashe, in which he said: “From what we get, we can make a living: what we give, however, makes a life”. Throughout the course of my professional career, one of my leading motives has been to help individuals that I work with feel safe, overcome stressors, gain insight and awareness, and develop healthy coping skills. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have worked with adults, adolescents, and children in different settings, such as outpatient (in the home and in a hospital), inpatient (for individuals who require stabilization), and in the school system through group, individual, and family therapy. Prior to this, I worked with individuals struggling with mental, emotional, and/or substance abuse as a Case Manager, from 2006 to when I began providing therapy in 2012. My goal through my Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic approach is to assist people seek peace by finding stability and happiness in their lives. Remember, "peace comes from within, do not seek it without". You made the courageous decision to seek help, and I believe that I can provide support (via text, chat, phone or video) and help you begin to or continue to live a meaningful life. Warmly, Katiuska

I also have worked for an employee assistance program. I utilize several types of treatment modalities such Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Interventions, Wellness Recovery Action Plan, and Motivational Interviewing Interventions. My style is very easy going. Reaching out for counseling can be scary, different, and uncomfortable for a lot of individuals. My goal is to make your experience as comfortable as possible. I also want my clients to feel they are being heard and that their needs are being met. As a counselor I assist and encourage client's to identify their strengths and find the solutions within themselves. "Life is a journey filled with lessons and opportunities".

Christen Thompson, LMHC, has spent over 20 years striving to grow, evolve, and understand how her past experience affects her ability to experience each current moment as it actually is. Every day she learns something new that helps her to value herself, and feel grateful for all the blessings in her life. In her past, she had struggled with addiction to cocaine; and began her long road to recovery in 1996. Inspired by many different experiences in her own therapeutic journey, Christen decided that becoming a therapist was a natural way to continue her own journey, and help others find the same joy and freedom she had experienced in her life. Christen began working in the Addictions field in 2004, as a Behavioral Health Technician, completed her Bachelor’s degree; and worked as a graduate assistant at Lynn University while completing her Master’s degree in Counseling. Christen had worked in several facilities in south Florida as a primary therapist; utilizing a Humanistic approach, and as many Creative-Arts therapeutic modalities as possible. She has since become an LMHC, NCC, and has certification in EMDR, Psychodrama, and Transpersonal counseling. One of Christen's career achievements that she is most proud of was the engineering and implementation of a clinical curriculum for First Responders. Through this experience Christen had gained valuable insight into the administrative and supervisory roles necessary to be successful as a clinical director. Christen has developed a passion, and love for working with addicts and alcoholics. She remains committed to continuing to grow in her own self-awareness, and help guide others on their journeys towards self-awareness and actualization. At the Center of Revitalizing Psychiatry, Christen Thompson leads the Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient Program, as well as works with individual clients.

A part of each person already knows the solution to the issues that arise. Often that part has gone into hiding because of trauma that has occurred. It takes courage and sometimes a trusting relationship to allow that part to share. My name is Helen Cook. I'm a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. I have worked with adolescents, couples and adults during my 12 years as a counselor. My training as a nurse with 21 years in the Army, a biology teacher for 11 years and a WW (Weight Watchers) coach for 20 years has also impacted my counseling skills. Working with couples using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), training in EMDR, Brainspotting and hypnotherapy have given me many tools to help others. Mind-Body connection is also very important and I strive to identify and work this connection as often as necessary to help people heal.

I am a master's level Clinical Social Worker licensed in the State of Maine. I have been working as an outpatient psychotherapist since 1996. Since 2007, I have been working with veterans of all ages and backgrounds. Prior to 2007, I worked in a community mental health agency. I have specialized experience and training providing treatment for trauma and abuse related disorders, depression and anxiety. I have a proven track record of helping clients who have struggled with long-standing problems with relationships, family of origin issues and difficulties coping with the stressors involved in daily living. My counseling style is warm and positive. I am endlessly hopeful that we all have the capacity to experience change and growth. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I work with people, not labels or diagnoses. While my baseline clinical approach is based on cognitive-behavioral theories, I am comfortable drawing on a wide range of evidence based strategies. My treatment interventions are based on the unique needs and goals of my clients. I believe therapy clients deserve to be informed about the treatment they are receiving. I see myself as a fellow traveler rather than as an expert on people's lives. My greatest joy has been the opportunity to see the transformations that take place for my clients. Every single individual I have worked with has shown me the depth of courage, wisdom and strength that are built into the human creation. It is an honor to do this work and would be an honor to do the work of therapy with you.
