Many people have found therapy to be a powerful tool for self-improvement and personal growth. Therapists and other mental health professionals use evidence-based practices to help their clients manage mental health conditions, overcome personal challenges, and lead a more fulfilling life. Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are based on rigorous research and experimentation. In the hands of a highly skilled mental health practitioner, those techniques can drastically lessen the challenges associated with personal change. 

Therapists also work with couples and families to help improve cohesion in romantic relationships or reduce family conflict. Regardless of which clients they work with most often, qualified therapists typically have at least a master’s degree, often from programs like clinical mental health counseling, clinical social work, or marriage and family therapy. Some practitioners go on to receive a doctorate, most often in clinical or counseling psychology. A licensed clinical psychologist has a doctorate, is licensed to practice psychotherapy, and may refer to themselves as a therapist, similar to their master’s-level peers. 

Most mental health professionals will also receive thousands of hours of supervised practice, having worked extensively to demonstrate their skills before being allowed to practice independently. Many professionals also choose to obtain additional training in a particular population, condition, or treatment approach. No matter their approach to practice, a compassionate therapist is typically prepared to work collaboratively with clients to help them achieve their personal goals. 

If you’re ready to start working with a therapist, Riviera Beach, FL, has plenty of professionals to choose from. Whether you need help managing a dual diagnosis, setting goals for wellness, or wish to learn advanced self-care techniques like mindfulness training, a therapist who suits your needs is likely available. When searching for a practitioner, you may also want to consider online therapy, which allows you to attend sessions from home or any preferred location. If making a weekly commute down to West Palm Beach or another nearby community sounds like a hassle, you may want to try online options. 

Consider looking at the profiles of the licensed practitioners listed below. You can open their profiles to see their training and qualifications and read reviews from past clients so you can make an informed decision about whether they seem like a good fit for you.

Hey! My name is Martha Fenimore and I have enjoyed working as a licensed therapist for over 25 years. Having been educated with a Social Work background has taught me how to see every person as an individual who is influenced by family, work, sexuality, health, stage of life, finances, and social supports, to name a few. Identifying these influences helps both of us better understand the reason for your coming to therapy and possible obstacles getting in your way. In my career as a therapist, I have worked with a variety of individual, families, and groups. We have tackled numerous subjects including self-esteem, sexuality, trauma, family of origin influences, relationships, depression, anxiety, career development, goal clarification, etc. I enjoy helping clients identify their healthy coping skills and teaching them new ones. My clients describe me as a good listener who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and non-judgmental. If I am the kind of therapist you are looking for, please feel free to contact me at any time. I check my emails throughout the day and will respond to you as soon as I am able. Please be aware that I do not go by the Better Help schedule, so give me possible times you are available and I'll pick something good for us both. Thank-you for your consideration.
