Therapists in Daytona Beach, FL

Facing & accepting experiences in life is a process that is often challenging & requires time & an emotional & mental investment. It is also an empowering journey that promises healing and growth to those who choose to engage in an evidence-based, facilitated approach from the effects of trauma &/or developmental impairments. I combine elements of social skills training, psychoeducational & psychodynamic techniques, & emphasize support.

Is it time to start a partnership with a counselor? We believe that counseling isn't just for those who are hurting, but that anyone can benefit from an ongoing counseling or life coaching process. In fact, many of our clients are successful individuals and couples who know that everyone has the potential to grow. When a client comes to us for counseling, we strive to provide the client with skills and tools for making and maintaining significant life changes. Because of this, our clients tend to experience a positive difference in their moods, lives, and relationships quickly.

I use a diverse range of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, psychodynamic, relational, harm reduction, motivational interviewing, solution-focused, and family systems therapy. I also incorporate somatic experiencing and fitness to enhance body awareness. My expertise lies in complex Trauma and identity-related Trauma, such as Racial/ ethnic, cultural, gender, and sexual orientation.

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile! I've been a psychotherapist for 15 years after 3 years assisting in published psychological research. My focus is on adult patients with trauma, family systems, anxiety, depression, addictions, personality disorders and/or emotional dysregulation.

It is my mission to provide quality care with the respect and empathy everyone deserves!

Jenny is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Veteran, who believes that therapy is an experience of exploration that acts as a bridge between the known and unknown. She works with adult individuals and couples to create familiarity and comfort in the spaces where confusion and discomfort currently reside. By exploring what each client has, is, and wants to experience in their lives, an understanding and acceptance of self and others paves the path for meaningful and lasting change. Jenny weaves a variety of therapeutic approaches throughout her individually tailored work with clients.

Although there are common feelings and struggles we can have as humans, no one has had the exact same life experiences as you. Counseling should provide you with the same individualized approach to your concerns. This is how I approach my therapy and I would love to be a part of helping you discover a deeper understanding of yourself and any issues or problems you may be struggling with now, along with providing you with a safe and non-judgmental space.

I consider it an honor to hear peoples' stories and help them find freedom and wholeness by meeting them where they are and walking alongside them through life's struggles and situations. I create a safe and supportive environment for people to share their stories and struggles, and connect them to various resources and support systems they made need, including: nutritionists; MDs; support groups, clergy; etc. in order to provide the most comprehensive approach to wholeness and well-being.

I offer an eclectic approach to a diverse group of populations throughout the entire lifespan; utilizing several types of therapeutic modalities including: cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, psychoeducational counseling, humanistic, existential, relaxation training, sports-exercise psychology, family systems, as well as mindfulness philosophies and techniques. During our initial consultation, information is gathered through the use of various assessment techniques in order to specifically identify problematic areas. During the early formation of the therapeutic relationship we will create goals that can be empirically measured in order to statistically track patient progress and maintain quality assurance.

Anxiety, depression, decisions, and the feelings that are wrapped into all of this is part of what makes us human. We are created with a hardwiring that neurologically adapts to the every changing world we live in. In the midsts of it all is you and your specific, one of a kind, and valuable Mental Heath needs. These needs are important and because of that reason your commitment to them is equally important and for Lucas it is essential. One of Lucas core values is that there is endless options that can be discovered in therapy and the key lies within the client. Needs, goals and concerns are all angles in the process of a solution.

SLAP! You've been slapped by reality! It might even feel more like a kick or a punch. And however this happened, boy does it suck! And now, it's like you have this gap between the life that you want and where you actually are. It's like you can see the way life can be, and yet it's like you're stuck in your own head and you find yourself moving farther away from what you want. You find yourself doing things you'd rather not do and just losing the joy you once felt.

I humbly bring 21 years of expertise ranging from child protective services work, to various case management experiences, to working in several clinical venues including residential treatment and outpatient practices. Graduating from NYU’s Silver School of Social Work in 2005, my area of passion has been serving children/adolescents and their families within the clinical arena, but have an all-encompassing love for anyone who comes into my care who is wanting to engage in positive change and willing to do the work toward that end. I am committed to your success and overall improvement in quality of life.

Do you feel a bit lost, down in the dumps, or as if life has thrown you one too many curveballs lately? Now imagine how it would be not to worry constantly, to have the strength to do things again. As a licensed MFT, I focus on promoting change and growth in individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing difficulties. I approach therapy in a holistic manner by supporting clients in setting goals, solving problems, and changing unhelpful patterns while providing empathy and practical feedback. Among my areas of expertise are anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, coping with loss, adjustment to life changes, & parenting.

There are so many of us who have felt like outsiders our entire lives, pretending to be someone else to fit in. Learning to unmask is a scary and also liberating process of accepting who we truly are. Whether you've been formally diagnosed or suspect that you are Autistic or ADHD, you deserve therapy that doesn't expect you to change your brain to reach your goals. We will work together collaboratively to better understand the way your brain works and embrace the differences that make you, you! We will focus on using your natural strengths to help you reach the goals you set for yourself.

I work with adolescents (16+), adults, LGBTQ+, families, and couples. I also work with overcoming difficult family and/or personal relationships. My ideal client is someone who is willing to push themselves to be the best they can be by facing the hard issues. Their goals are to "live out loud" as I like to say and be their most authentic selves. The healing journey is not an easy one, but a rewarding one and I promise it will be worth it. I am located in Winter Park just off I-4 so I take clients from Altamonte Springs, Casselberry, Maitland, Sanford and Lake Mary. I can see anyone in Florida virtually as well.

Life can be dysfunctional and although many of us learn how to function in this dysfunction there are times where it may become too much to walk in alone. Your life seems filled with constant thoughts of "I should have: said that differently, told them how I felt, spoke up for myself". You struggle with fears of judgment and expectations. Somedays it may seem like an impossible mission to get out of bed, shower, feed yourself or socialize with others. You struggle with persistent irrational thoughts that you are aware of but can't seem to make them stop.

Are you curious about how your childhood might be shaping your life today? Maybe the person you were as a kid doesn't quite fit who you are now.

I take pride in offering a relaxed, cozy, and conversational approach to therapy. Picture it like chatting with someone who's got your back as we navigate through your stuff together. If you're craving a warm and supportive space, I'm here to help. Let's talk and start this journey towards a fulfilled and more authentic version of you!

At its root, therapy is about awareness and using new awareness to make healthy changes. As a professional counselor, my desire is to inspire and empower clients to optimally manage their spiritual, mental, and physical health individually and relationally. As a survivor, I support a survivor mentality, acknowledging and honoring negative life experiences and feelings yet consistently seeking solutions rather than existing in problems. I enjoy pursuing innovative therapeutic techniques and proactively employing these techniques to support my clients' ultimate health and wellness. I appreciate the value of counseling but I also work to make counseling affordable and accessible.
