Female Therapists in Fort Myers, FL

Welcome! Making the decision to seek out therapy can be a big one, and sometimes scary. Take a deep breath, you've got this! Perhaps you are struggling with anxiety, depression, difficulty coping with big feelings, irritability or angry outbursts, difficulty focusing, peer conflict or difficulty maintaining relationships, explosive or defiant behaviors, hyperactivity, or decreased motivation. You may have experienced trauma, whether it be a natural disaster, accident, or abuse. Many clients I see commonly work on developing coping skills, processing trauma, enhancing relationships, managing difficult behaviors, and so much more!

Hi, my name is Alecia, I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have lived in Lee County for over 30 years. I work with individuals, couples and families. Life can be a lonely place when you no longer feel yourself or are feeling overwhelmed. Anxiety, depression and traumas can feel like a cinder block on our shoulders. You may wonder how things will change? Change begins with vulnerability. To be vulnerable is to let go of the notion you have to struggle alone.

Are you looking for a supportive and collaborative space to heal yourself or your family relationships? Revive Family Counseling is here to help.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and trained to provide counseling and psychotherapy. What is the difference? Counseling is usually for more solution focused needs and can be short term. Psychotherapy is not advise. We explore deeper emotional issues, identify the causes and work toward a better understanding of yourself so that you can move on and develop healthier ways of coping with life and people. I practice CBT/CPT: Cognitive behavioral/processing therapy which explores how your thought patterns can affect your feelings and behaviors. I find this most useful as it helps people learn to help themselves.

Scarlett Olivares obtained her undergraduate degree in Clinical Psychology from the Catholic University of Santo Domingo in 2004. Scarlett obtained her graduate degree (with honors) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Hodges University. Scarlett is a bilingual/bicultural counselor that is experienced in working with families and individuals. She has honed her skills over 13 years working in the community.  Her passion and dedication led her to develop her skills in another critical mental health area, that of addiction and substance abuse.

Perhaps life has been extremely challenging lately (e.g., struggling to find balance in managing the kids, relationships and/or a stressful career) and you are feeling unable to adequately attend to your own emotional needs. Maybe unprocessed trauma (e.g., childhood abuse/neglect, workplace or racial) experiences are affecting your relationships and keeping you from living your best life. Could it be that women’s health issues (e.g., infertility, PCOS or PMDD) or men's health issues have left you feeling helpless? Yes, I see you. Regardless of the challenge, I am here to let you know that there is hope!

With over 20 years of experience working with individuals and families in Lee County, I have a welcoming and compassionate approach to the counseling process. Whether the client is dealing with a long time struggle, or more current stressors I help individuals utilize their own strengths and inner knowing to resolve issues. With a focus on wellness, I can work with clients to develop daily routines, build awareness and increase mindfulness to move them toward the happier and healthier lifestyles they desire.

Life transitions often feel overwhelming. These changes can also exacerbate existing problems like depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and neglect of self-care, among others. I've helped people succeed in their academic, professional, and interpersonal pursuits, and I can help you as well.

Do you feel like you’re not good enough? Do you question who you even are? Maybe past hurts keep you held back. Don’t know where to start or who you could even be outside of the trauma or hardships you’ve faced? These can be scary questions to ask yourself and scary memories to discuss. Good news is you’re not alone. I believe the only way out is through.

Dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma can feel debilitating. You get stuck in thoughts of worry and fear that feels like a vicious loop you can’t escape. It can cause your world to get very small as it prevents you from participating in normal life. You always feel on edge, and you struggle to trust others. You constantly get triggered by the painful memories in your past. You feel stressed, overwhelmed, and very alone. If this sounds like you, I want to assure you that there is hope. You don’t have to feel stuck and alone in this misery. Reaching out for help is a courageous step towards being the person you want to become.

Let me help you so you don't need to do it alone. Many of my clients view me as a life coach to help them traverse necessary changes they want to make, improve their relationship with themselves as well as with others and often times learn life changing skills that help them live, with not peace of mind but peace from the mind. This work isn't easy by any means but it's so much more doable with the right help and practices. My clients are motivated, over suffering, and want help healing trauma, limiting beliefs, negative concept of themselves and want to feel more connected and in the flow with life rather than fighting it.

I am here to provide tools for each individual's unique needs to help overcome anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. It is imperative to validate each person's feelings and empower them to be able to move forward in their journey.

As a doctoral-level psychologist practicing in Florida for over 20 years, my approach to helping clients make lasting improvements in their lives includes providing hope for change, research-based techniques and practical problem-solving skills. Specific and customized treatment goals are developed collaboratively, beginning in the first session. Why choose a psychologist rather than a counselor or therapist? A psychologist's expertise is more in-depth. Additionally, an important aspect of a great therapeutic relationship is the fit with your provider, feeling safe, hopeful, respected, and motivated to take the steps to grow.

Therapy can help provide the skills needed to overcome a variety of life's obstacles, adding to the tools you already have that has enabled you to come this far! It would be my honor to help explore your goals, obstacles, and stressors so that we can further work towards resolutions and wellness.

I often notice that couples forget that together, they can create a life that they both truly love. My job is to remind you of that and help create a roadmap of how to get there. So often, we settle into a place of disconnection, resentment, frustration, or disdain. Maybe trust has been broken, or you feel more like strangers than best friends. The relationship between partners can add the most incredible richness, excitement and beauty to our worlds, but relationships are always changing and growing- either growing apart or growing together. In couples therapy we'll explore how to get back to growing hand in hand.

Are you feeling stuck in your anxiety, trauma, or intrusive thoughts? Maybe you feel like your life was stopped in the moment that you were traumatized. You try everything to cope, to make it better, to not feel anxious, but it feels like you are living in a never ending cycle. You want to live the life that you envision for yourself outside of overthinking and feeling controlled by your past and your thoughts. You may be feeling drained and burnt out by constantly listening to the controlling tendencies that you have over yourself and your life. You are ready to learn a new way of life. You are ready to regain control.
