Therapists in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Life is filled with experiences, each of those moments creating new opportunities for us and also new stressors. It can be hard wading through those moments, especially when we feel alone, lost, forgotten, or unheard. Counseling can be scary, and it is not always easy to share your story and experiences with a stranger.

I am a Somatic Psychotherapist with a focus on helping to build resilience and regulation in ones nervous system. This allows for an organic shift in dealing with life’s stresses whether it comes from current stressors or from traumas of the past as far back as utero (Developmental Trauma). This positively impacts emotional, physical and spiritual well being. I like working with adults who are in transition, who are struggling in their relationship, and/or who continue to have the after effects of traumas in their lives. It is my belief that wounding begins in relationship and therefore needs to be healed in relationship.

Many of us navigate the world using the survival skills we learned in our childhood. We often grew up learning to view and interact with the world in a way that made us feel safe. Now, some of these survival styles hinder us from building deeper connections with others and ourselves. Our marriage becomes challenging, family interactions feel superficial. Sometimes, we feel the need to be vulnerable but don't out of fear of judgment. This stops us from connecting with others, establishing healthy boundaries, and making better decisions.

You are that women who everyone looks to because you "have it all together". You talk the talk, do all the things that are expected of you but you still find your self with that stinking thinking. You show up but the shit is surfacing even with the mask on. That little voice inside keeps telling you "I'm not good enough" "I don't deserve it", "I am not worthy". The messages you received growing up and even now from family, society and institutions are still there making you play small in your life, love and work. You are meant to be a force to be reckoned with Sis! The time has come to truly show up for yourself!

I work with individuals and couples helping them deal effectively with problems that arise through the course of their individual and family life cycle. These may include relationship problems, conflict among family members, challenges raising children, difficulties adjusting to different life stresses, anxiety and depression. I view psychotherapy as a process of exploration that leads to further understanding of oneself and others. Crises and life challenges offer opportunities for personal and relationship growth, as well as opportunities for making choices that lead to the improvement of the overall quality of our lives.

Have you been feeling so overwhelmed and anxious that you're finding it challenging to function? Perhaps these feelings have been triggered by work, relationships, past experiences, or your fears. Caring for our mental health can sound so simple but often we wonder- what does that even mean and how the heck do I start? Getting started can feel so intimidating! I believe in the immense benefits of creating space to be still with a therapist, so you can begin to explore your inner world, relationships, past experiences, symptoms and stressors.

Hi, I’m Courtney Burch. I specialize in working with teenagers who have begun to stray from their family of origin. My passion is helping teenagers reconnect with their parents, in effort to divert them from a troubled young adulthood. I believe in the family system and that a healthy system can heal the wounds of the family. I have extensive experience in the substance abuse world/12-step recovery, though I have a soft spot for harm reduction and forgiveness. I believe in working through wounds of early life, creating connection, and assisting clients in finding a joyful state of being.

Children are faced with new challenges, some of which are unique to their generation. It can be a struggle to find the balance between parent and friend. It takes a while to work up the nerve to even have a conversation with your child, and then..they blow you off. Despite your best efforts, talking, good cop/bad cop, rewards, consequences, you just can't get through to them. The tension is getting thicker, arguing more often, and disciplining is just not working. Let's work together to help your child grow and learn through life's many challenges.

When relationship problems occur, couples can easily hit a roadblock. Through therapy, couples quickly learn that they most likely have a communication issue rather than a fundamental flaw of the relationship. Couples therapy works on healing and improving how you communicate. Your relationship can be strengthened and the bond of your friendship restored through couples counseling. If you're struggling in your relationship, seek help early on to avoid a build-up of resentment and disconnect. It's best to be proactive with issues that arise.
