is a multidisciplinary group practice that offers specialized mental health counseling services for children (ages 5-17), adults, couples, families, christian counseling services, and life coaching services.
I believe that in order for individuals to experience an extraordinary life (a life filled with peace, love, joy, and purpose) they must learn how to heal, protect, and strengthen all three parts of themselves - the soul (mind, will, & emotions), the body, and the spirit. I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy with Christian, biblical principles to address a complexity of issues within an individual, family, couple, or group that may be preventing them from experiencing physical, mental, and spiritual wholeness. Also, my husband, Adewale Disu, a Certified Life Coach, provides life coaching services to men.

Does worrying about weight and calories take up most of your thoughts? Do you purge, use laxatives, or compulsively exercise? Do you binge eat, "night eat", or eat when you are not hungry and you don't know why? Do you fear you're "addicted" to food? Does your weight go up and down a lot, and it has for most of your life? Are you worried your child or teen has an eating disorder? Do you feel like you'll never be "normal" when it comes to food and weight?

My experience working with many children, adolescents, and families in crisis along with my focus on spiritual development uniquely qualifies me to work with individuals that are seeking emotional as well as spiritual healing.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and devout Catholic. It is my dream to incorporate my faith in a direct way through my work with clients. Although I am passionate about my faith and combining it in practice, my goal is to allow the client to dictate where they are in the spiritual and emotional journey. The most successful therapy takes place when clients are able to be vulnerable, and express their needs honestly in treatment. I specialize in working with adolescents; however, I also work with children, adults and families. My background involves work with trauma, family issues, anxiety, depression, and attachment.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Jacksonville, FL provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Jacksonville build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
