Palmetto Bay is on the coast of the Biscayne Bay to the east and the community enjoys spending many hours on the beach or in the water. The beaches also tend to bring visitors to town and it can sometimes feel crowded, especially if you have a mental health condition like social anxiety disorder. The Palmetto Bay counselors can help you understand and treat this problem. 

No matter how many people are visiting Palmetto Bay, you should never feel uncomfortable in your own home town. If you are struggling with anxiety for any reason, talk to one of the Palmetto Bay therapists so you can get back to normal.

Hello there! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile page. Being a supportive clinical social worker is one of the greatest joys in my life. I enjoy listening to others and helping them to find a way through tough times. My experience includes a Masters and Doctorate in Social Work and for almost 20 years, I have worked with teens and adults. Currently, I counsel the chronically ill on end of life decisions, help couples navigate marriage and families, individuals with mental health struggles, and teach at a local university. I "retired" after 15 years of helping teens and their families try to understand how to resolve conflict and learn to communicate better. I also have a small private practices where I help people in tough transitions such as divorce and family issues. I counsel a lot of couples who have struggled with infidelity and polyamorous and open relationships. In my clinical practices and experiences, I have had the privilege of helping families overcome struggles with teens are struggling through issues of adolescence and mental health problems. Parents sometimes believe that they are the only parents going through tough with teens. I enjoy supporting parents in the journey as hard as it might be sometimes. Also, I have a passion for helping those navigating a new life in sobriety. Addiction recovery is one of the bravest things that I have seen people overcome and I like to help people stay on the path of recovery. All my clinical practice incorporates cognitive behaviors strategies with a very positive Rogerian approach. Those I treat will be treated with respect and clearly set boundaries. I want to help others by starting to help them where they want to begin. I believe in my clients I help and I want them to be happy and successful. I can help my clients by setting goals, open communication, and unconditional positive regard to help with hard life situations. I wish you the best on your journey and hope to have the chance to help you! Sincerely, Dr. Terri Nicole Sawyer, LCSW Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider (CTMH) Certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT)

As a clinician, I strongly believe that each individual is their own expert. When things become complicated, it is often hard to put ourselves in the driver’s seat and take control. Through practice, I hope to help you find that strength within to overcome some of life’s most difficult challenges. My interest in mental health peaked after college, when I worked with a therapeutic recreational program for children. Witnessing others find and develop their own strengths, I saw how empowering this can be, motivating me to continue to be an agent for change. I facilitate a trauma informed, strengths based approach. I have worked with individuals and families of varying ages and backgrounds, focusing on various concerns including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and attachment issues, anger management, self-esteem, and parenting skills. I incorporate client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused therapies in order to assist individuals in developing skills and strengths. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, in which I also incorporate use of mindfulness and meditation. I also have experience working in Child Welfare with substance abuse and mental health populations. I received my Master’s in Social Work from Florida State University in 2013, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Massachusetts & Florida. A crucial component of my approach with clients is real-world experience.  I grew up in New York, eventually living all over the US and even in Greece.  The experiences I have had give me a unique perspective and ability to relate to everyone. Following a successful career as a Flight Attendant for two different airlines, I decided to follow my passion to help others, and went back to school.  As a non-traditional student, I excelled at the University of Kansas, graduating with distinction and advanced standing through the Master’s program. Through the University of Kansas, I was introduced to their core philosophy of finding the strengths in anyone and any situation, lending to a positive attitude toward healing and mental health.   Since that time, I have worked with a variety of populations, finding ways to bring a unique style to each.  I worked with elder populations in long term care, as a therapist helping reunification efforts of parents with children in the foster system, and as a therapist for Veterans in transitional housing helping them defeat homelessness, substance abuse, and post-traumatic stress.   For the last several years, I also have been counseling people in all walks of life in private practice in Clearwater, Florida, specializing in compulsive behaviors such as hoarding or eating disorders, substance abuse, trauma, anxiety, and depression.  In addition to earning an LCSW, I am also a certified life coach. Throughout the years that I have worked with people of all ages, I have been amazed in the resilience of people, and their ability to heal from the deepest trauma.  My philosophy, that people should be able to come and find a place to share their deepest truths in a judgement free manner, lends to what many of my clients have called a deeper and more fulfilling therapeutic experience due to my unique and enthusiastic style.  Whether the term of therapy is long term or short term, I use elements of cognitive behavior therapy, solution focused brief therapy, accelerated resolution therapy, narrative therapy and many others to generate a holistic and wholly unique approach, customized to each person to best fit their needs and overall health.  I believe that a person should never be judged by either the best or worst thing that they have ever done. People are just too multifaceted to be labeled and indexed like a library catalog. In my practice, I foster an environment that provides a mixture of life coaching principles as well as the various therapeutic modalities that I have been trained in.  I specialize in helping you find answers to life’s most trying questions by providing resources, techniques, and advice, while generating a judgement free atmosphere to help you find your best spiritual, psychological, physical, and emotional self.  I believe in therapy that meets you where you are, its okay if you aren’t sure where to begin. Some of the best self-introspection occurs in the most unexpected times. The client is at the helm of the proverbial therapy ship and we can adjust the voyage blueprint as you need or want. My goal is to give you the tools and encouragement to keep you on the course that YOU have chosen. Ultimately you are stronger, more resilient, and better than even you know. My favorite approach that I apply to all people I encounter both in and out of session is this: “The greatest gift one human being can give to another is providing a safe place for that person to be themselves and speak their truth”.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Palmetto Bay area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Palmetto Bay therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Palmetto Bay due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Palmetto Bay may not take health insurance, some in the state of Florida may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Florida you can expect significantly more affordable options, with therapists sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks). 

How is a licensed therapist on this Palmetto Bay online therapy platform verified?

All of these psychology clinicians have a Masters Degree or a Doctorate Degree in their field of psychology sciences, and follow the APA Code of Ethics. Therapists have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training and practice with a patient, and extensive experience in a healthcare clinic or treatment centers, in order to become a mental health provider. While their lived experience, expertise, careers, and background vary, therapists here all possess at least 3 years and 1,000 hours of hands-on experience with adult and sometimes teen patients, and have the necessary therapist credentials to provide a safe space for long lasting emotional healing in therapy.

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Palmetto Bay?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Palmetto Bay therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors and therapists are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Palmetto Bay therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Palmetto Bay therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in FL, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles or therapists above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 33158 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site where you can schedule a session based on your and the therapist's schedule. No matter if you are seeking help from therapists in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Palmetto Bay counselor?

Before seeing your Palmetto Bay therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Palmetto Bay therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Palmetto Bay licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Palmetto Bay counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Palmetto Bay, Florida can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Palmetto Bay has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
