Adults Therapists in Brandon, FL

Trauma can leave us feeling like we have no control over the details of our lives and can make us feel unsafe, anxious, and many other emotions that make daily functioning harder. An essential part of trying to heal is learning the tools that can help us develop coping skills and techniques to navigate through life. I truly believe everyone deserves to control their own narrative, so as a counselor my goal is to help clients tell their own story and to have a safe space to speak freely without judgment.

Life can be unpredictable, demanding, full of adjustments and trials. Regardless of the life challenges you may be facing there is always hope. Hope gives us the strength and desire to change, grow, and become whole again once we've faced those difficult challenges. I believe each individual is unique and holds the keys to his/her own healing. Yet, sometimes we may need someone to work beside us to recognize what we already know and to help us to begin the steps necessary to achieve change.

Hello, my name is Herlene Beausejour-Bell, a therapist dedicated to guiding individuals towards a happier and healthier life. My journey in this profession began with a passion for helping people navigate life’s challenges. I would like to partner with you on your goal to becoming the best version of yourself.

Anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief can suffocate our lives, keeping us from experiencing the fullness and beauty all around us. Sometimes, we’re able to put on a brave face, despite our pain, to try to show the outside world that we’re okay. Sometimes, we fall apart and can't seem to put the pieces back together. No matter where you are in your healing journey, the good news is that therapy works, and there are several evidence-based treatments that are proven to help you feel better. There is hope, purpose, love, and joy on the other side of the pain you are facing, and we can work to find that together.

I work with those struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, sexuality, trauma, and relational issues. I focus on teaching clients the skills needed to identify unhealthy patterns of living and interacting which include but are not limited to identifying negative and destructive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors present in their daily lives.

Now Accepting New Clients! I understand the challenges with 'juggling it all' and know the overwhelm of burnout and stress all too well. I believe that every person is capable of bouncing back and seeing life in a new energized light. I have a passion for research and advocacy of all kinds, especially in the LGBTQIA+ community. I’ve found so much light and hope working with individuals who have experienced trauma/PTSD, OCD, depression, and anxiety. My drive for advocacy work and breaking barriers along with my values of creating safe spaces and trusting relationships with clients has led me to find my calling in Social Work!

Something just isn't right, you are not yourself. Stress, anger, worry, sadness; it is building up and you can’t seem to shake it off. Things aren't going as planned, you are stuck, and what you doing just isn't working. You may even be experiencing self-doubt or acting in uncharacteristic ways. Where did this come from? What did I do to deserve this? How did I let this get away from me? Shame, guilt, blame, and negative thoughts are evident, it is getting hard to see the bright side. Your job, relationship, family, health, or peace of mind are at risk. It is time for a change and deep down inside, you know it.

For over 14 years my passion has been "people” and helping them to get to the core of who they are. In keeping a customer service approach and coupling it with a mental health and a trauma focused lens, my modality of choice for intervention is from the Humanistic Paradigm- I will meet you where you are and then we work from there. Trauma hinders our progress whether the exposure is miniscule, extensive or somewhere in-between. Unless we can identify and understand this impact one cannot start moving towards healing. Let’s start this journey together and explore through appropriate intervention that is designed to meet your needs.

I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community & have lived experience as a queer person. My main focus is providing a safe, empathic environment for you to truly explore yourself and every facet of your experience. This includes exploring sources of pain and hurt, as well as celebrating sources of hope and joy. I believe that one of the most powerful things we can do is learn to understand ourselves, accept ourselves, practice compassion for ourselves, and move forward in life allowing ourselves to be as authentic as possible.

Does stress, worry, anxiety, or sadness get in the way of your day-to-day activities? Does it feel like no matter what you do, you are always carrying that weight on your shoulders? Perhaps there are specific things you are experiencing that are getting in the way of true inner happiness, which may include problems within a relationship, career dissatisfaction, or unresolved problems from your past.

It is common for people’s lives to become unmanageable after experiencing a major life event. The pressure of trying to handle it all can make it difficult to take time for yourself, and even more difficult, to seek therapy. My hope is that by connecting with me, you will find a therapeutic and nonjudgmental environment conducive to helping you manage your life and grow to be the best possible version of you.

Are you grappling with feeling lost, struggling to understand emotions, or experiencing a lack of zest and motivation in your life? Do you yearn to rediscover your sense of purpose, to understand yourself better, and to move toward your goals? If you are seeking clarity, guidance, and support to navigate this journey, I am here to help.

By the time you started your current search for a therapist, you’ve likely been experiencing deep distress for a very long time. It’s possible that there has been prior avoidance, talking to trusted others, and internet diagnosing to find a resolution to how you are feeling. If you’re looking for support, your decision to invest in yourself will be worth your efforts. You are on the brink of relief if you’re seeking a brave space for growth, to be supported yet challenged, and to put words to feelings not yet verbalized. My philosophy is that the answers are within us if we are willing to do the difficult work of looking inwards.

Hi, I’m Cara Lewis, a passionate individual who strongly believes in your potential to create fulfilling relationships with others and a healthy and loving relationship with yourself. I began my career in education many years ago and my appreciation for education can be seen in my work. I believe it is through emotional education and the therapeutic process that we gain deeper self awareness and compassion for ourselves and others. We can create new stories, new beliefs and new patterns that better serve us and we can learn effective relational skills. All of those combined work to enhance our ability to live the life we desire.

Give yourself praise for making it this far! You might be debating about this decision or thinking to yourself if “ this is the right time.” I can assure you that “THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME!” I believe that therapy is a team effort that allows the therapist and the client to work together to identify the underlining problem. Therapy is a safe place for individuals to analyze communication, hurt, pain, trauma, and irrational thoughts, without being judged!!! Through therapeutic interventions, we will examine and review ways to better yourself and become a better version of yourself. I am here to listen, educate, and provide feedback.

I believe that every person deserves space where they can speak openly and honestly, exploring challenges, core beliefs and vulnerabilities that keep them stuck or in a place of emotional discomfort. I place emphasis on developing a therapeutic relationship, establishing trust to help you reach your individualized goals. My training and success includes working with mental health issues that may be long standing, those struggles that persist unresolved, e.g. anxieties, unrelieved depression, fears that overshadow you, a sense of meaninglessness, persistent conflicts in relationships, and painful results of trauma and loss.
