I have been a Licensed Clinical Psychologist for 25 years. I have worked with people who experience trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addiction, personality disorders, to name just a few. I work with adolescents and adults. I provide individual, marriage/pre-marital, family and group counseling. Therefore, I believe that I can offer a broad range of counseling training and experience.

Have you experienced some form of trauma? Struggling with addiction? Or dealing with relationship challenges? You have come to the right place and have already taken the most important step in your journey toward peace of mind, connection, and confidence in your ability to achieve your goals. Often, the greatest challenge is overcoming the inertia of maintaining status quo and stepping out into the unknown where healing can begin.

My unique approach combines the precision of EMDR, the transformative power of NLP, and a wealth of experience in trauma nursing, first responder coaching, certified trauma-informed care, and crisis intervention. A client-centered focus demonstrates my commitment to guiding individuals toward lasting healing and resilience. Specializing in working with first responder families, I acknowledge the unique stressors and dynamics these families face.

I am a compassionate advocate for children, teens, parents and families facing challenges they can not overcome. I am here to help you work through those challenges and learn that it may be difficult but you are strong enough to do it. Finding the right person who truly understands can lead to a profound, life-changing moment.

Hi, I'm Claire Oswald and I am a licensed mental health counselor with the state of Florida. I received my masters in mental health counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University and have been in practice for the last 14 years. I have a background working with both inpatient and outpatient services to be able to fully understand the mental health services that are offered in SWFL. I have worked children but specialize in ages 18+. If you are a person who is currently experiencing stress, anxiety, fear, depression, or are just over all needing some therapy in your life then I am happy to be able to help.

You will reach out to me because there is something in your life that feels wrong, or an event that you don't feel equipped to cope with. Perhaps you have a long-term concern that you finally want to come to terms with. We will look at the circumstances that brought you to this point, and together we will build on your strengths and work towards goals that are manageable for you.It takes courage to change; it often takes some emotional pain to bring you here, as well. Whatever has brought you here, I salute you for taking that first step! We will always work at your pace, and I will always be straightforward with you!

I provide individual, couple's and family therapy to children, adolescents, adults and families experiencing emotional, behavioral, and/or social difficulties. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Play Therapist and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist with more than ten years of experience. I co-founded Sunshine State Counseling Center. In my practice, I empower individuals to build and develop their inner strengths by providing compassionate, ethical and professional therapeutic services.

In my experience adults and couples are often surprised at how empowering it can be to begin counseling. I am available to assist you or your family in areas of healthy coping, effective communication, or adjusting to change or loss in your life. From our first session I will support you in identifying your strengths, areas of need, and setting goals toward positive change. My commitment is to provide a safe place and tools for you to work through issues that may be causing worry, sadness, low self-esteem, or adjustment issues.

In psychodynamic treatment, we enter a journey together to understand behaviors and feelings that just don't make sense; to Prevent the Past from interfering in the Present; to improve personal relationships; to change lifelong ways of coping that don't work; and finally to stop self-destructive behavior patterns. Please consider our work together an adventure in life - and not that of a "sick" patient with an all-knowing doctor! I welcome you to make an exciting journey with me that promotes self-understanding, a internal sense of peace, and the feeling of being comfortable in your own skin.

From my experience, I continue to observe that mental health is the foundation of health. It has been a privilege to work with and learn from clients since 2005 in various settings. My strength-based approach allows individuals, couples and families to experience a safe environment in which to increase knowledge and awareness regarding emotions. Psychoeducation is a key at Aim Counseling. Knowledge is power and a means in which to learn how to be more in control of the abstract experience of emotions.

I am driven by a desire to help children and adults overcome the stressors of life, so they can find fulfillment and joy. From anxiety to depression, to self-esteem or self-doubt, to helping survivors of unhealthy/abusive relationships, you are now in the right place. Finding someone that can truly understand and can make a difference in our lives is not easy. I understand that it’s difficult to seek quality help, find someone, only to later learn that they are unfit to help you.

Are you a woman struggling with past abuse, self-esteem issues, or relationships? Are you a couple facing major stress in your marriage?

I have worked with adolescents and their parents/guardians, women, and married couples, to find solutions for the variety of issues they face. I have also studied about the holistic interaction of body, soul, and spirit, and for 20 years have mentored people of all ages within local churches.
