Florida is known for its beautiful beaches and amazing clear water and Quincy is no different, with ocean views and nearby beaches that everyone loves. However, the town also has a historical factor making it known for growing tobacco before the Civil War in 1861, when the practice became difficult. Until the 1950s when the crops again were booming due to a new process called shading. However, the tobacco industry became taboo and Quincy once again turned to other crops such as tomatoes and oranges.

Whether you are a farmer or a beachgoer, everyone needs some extra support once in a while. When you are feeling down or stressed or just have questions about something in your life, talk to one of the Quincy area therapists. They can help you work things out and get the answers you are looking for.

My name is Michael. I love tennis, running, college football, my work, and my wife (not necessarily in that order). I have over 3 decades of experience in providing a safe enough space for people to examine/explore and hopefully resolve whatever issues precipitated their reaching out for assistance. I have found, over the years, that entering therapy is, for most, somewhat of a last resort; if it really was an easy fix, they would have resolved the issue on their own with a friend, mentor, or previous therapist. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida and have worked in numerous settings over the years, including inpatient treatment for substance abuse, co-dependency, and eating disorders. Have been in private practice for several decades, in both a group practice and as a solo practitioner. Have encountered and assisted folks suffering from depression, anxiety, and various trauma’s due to distressing life experiences, as well as folks becoming a little lost along the way. Have assisted numerous couples trying to save or make their marriages better. As a private practice therapist, I have been privileged to work with people from many cultures and from various walks of life. I can best be described as eclectic in approach, with a strong tendency towards experiential therapy, and have found that acceptance of myself and others is one of the keys to harmony in this world and in my life. My clients and I laugh often in therapy, as I tend to utilize humor wherever I can. I possess what I call a tenacious spirit, as I never give up on anyone. I am competent and compassionate when assisting others who are experiencing periods of pain and loss, and the complicated feelings experienced as we go through life. I am insightful and energetic, drawing upon decades of personal as well as professional experience, sharing easily and often the life experiences I have lived (my mistakes as well as successes). I believe we are shaped by the experiences we have lived and that various aspects of our personality have evolved over time and will continue to evolve as we live our lives. Sometimes we get stuck and need a little nudge to address what we would rather not whereas others dive into the issues they know they need to. I work, at times, to assist in helping develop a balance between our internal parent/adult and child selves, as an imbalance in these aspects of the personality can create the distress that precipitates an entry into therapy.

My name is Laura Braswell. I am 48 years old and received my post-graduate training degrees from Rutgers University and Princeton. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and I have a Masters of Divinity degree with a focus on counseling. I have been married for 22 years and have six children and many foster children. I have worked in multiple clinical settings and provided group counseling, individual counseling and couples counseling. I have had great success in working with people that struggle with depression, anxiety, loss of a sense of purpose or drive, complex parenting and relationship issues, addictions, grief and loss, adoption and fertility issues and trauma. I believe all people are capable of moving towards a place of radical healing when they receive the help, motivation and spiritual guidance that they need. Being an older counselor that experienced many things personally and first-hand allows me to speak from experience and not theory. It allows me to identify with my clients and more fully understand what they need and how I can help them. Life is not easy, but you are not alone. Your situation is not hopeless. You cannot change other people, but you can change yourself and how you let other people impact you. You can break the chains of addiction, stop destructive behavior patterns, set goals and make them happen. You have taken a first step to finding help and healing. I would love to join you on this journey and share my expertise and time to help you reach and discover your full potential and purpose in life. It is not easy, but you are not alone!
