Therapists in Gulfport, FL

The 'ideal client' for counseling is someone who is sick & tired of being sick & tired. They are ready for change & peace of mind and ready to see their part in problems. Through counseling and consultation, they can acquire skills to think, feel and behave differently in situations and relationships for better outcomes. Self respect, self worth and esteem get better. Clients notice they feel lighter. There is an overall increased sense of well being. They are increasingly able to do the next right thing while avoiding falling down the rabbit hole of old patterns which initially brought them into counseling.

Let's be honest, we're all out here just trying our best. Most are no stranger to the stress, pressure, and sky-high expectations of everyday life. Therapy provides a place to reflect, heal, and grow on your terms; this is vital if your everyday environments do not provide this. A few specialities include: Co-dependency, boundary-setting, major life changes, anxiety, self-esteem, identity; I am here to help with it all. I am also passionate about creating safe and affirming spaces for those who identify as LGBTQIA+; providing support to individuals seeking out a self-identified queer therapist.

Imagine seeking balance amidst the chaos of a high-stakes career, managing personal and professional relationships while striving for physical and spiritual wellness. My ideal client is someone who craves accountability and support through major life transitions. Whether you're in military, finance, entertainment, or a high-energy profession like management or elite athletics, you're looking to enhance your relationships, reduce stress, and navigate life's complexities with grace. I specialize in guiding high-achievers—business owners, professionals, politicians, and international transplants—towards achieving their goals.

I am an EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Therapist. I also use traditional talk therapy with my clients. My therapeutic approach is based on the individual's specific needs. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of therapy that enables you to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. No longer does your past have to be your present. If it is causing you distress, there are interventions that you can use to transcend your suffering. I would love to assist you on your journey of healing. Let us work together to decide what would be the best approach for you.

When life feels stressful or overwhelming, it’s okay to ask for help. As an LMHC, I team up with clients to help them determine what changes they’d like to make in their lives and the most effective ways to achieve them. We all need support at times, whether it be working through some past/current life-changing events, making big decisions, improving family or intimate partner relationships, or learning new skills to change things in your life. My background includes utilizing evidence-based approaches to assist those struggling with trauma, mood disorders, social skills deficits, and oppositional behavior & sexual behavior issues.

I support anxious people-pleasers and trans folx to stop feeling trapped by others’ expectations and start living with radical authenticity. I love helping people build self-trust, practice self-compassion, set boundaries without shame, and feel confident, secure, and at home with themselves - to stop allowing external pressures, old patterns, and toxic relationships dictate how they feel and what they do, and start owning their inner power to choose what's right for them.

I'm Tahara, a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in helping individuals like you navigate the intricacies of their emotional world. My passion lies in assisting clients in their pursuit of self-confidence, self-advocacy, and emotional well-being. ​

I believe that the most important indicator of success in therapy for any client is how comfortable the client feels with their therapist. Once their comfort level is established with me- the work can begin in a positive and practical manner for Adults and Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Multicultural Issues, Couples, Women's Issues, and Work Related Issues to name a few . I incorporate diverse therapeutic interventions to get my client to their goals. My goal is that my clients complete counseling feeling that they came out of therapy with the skills needed to continue to live life successfully.

Sometimes it feels as if we lost our way; our closest relationships are a constant source of conflict and loneliness, and we struggle to find true connections, clarity, confidence, hope, and peace. It does not need to be that way. You can be seen and loved for who you really are, and you can count on yourself and others through the ups and downs of life. I enjoy guiding people through that journey to become their best selves and to enjoy fulfilling relationships.

In practice for over 25 years, I take a client centered and eclectic approach with a deep appreciation for individuality and diversity. I have been trained extensively in dynamic psychotherapy. Part science and part art, the practice of dynamic psychotherapy is more than a technique. It addresses the complexity and uniqueness of each person's life story, hopes and dreams. Would you like to stop putting up with problems that you have been trying to change, or trying to force yourself to accept what is unacceptable to you?

I hold a personnel belief that the client needs to tell their story, feel safe in doing so, and form a bond of trust with their therapist. I have worked in mental health for 17 years. My background started in Criminal Justice. My first Masters degree is in this field, and continued to a Maters in Counseling. There was always one common thread, people were broken. A broken person loses trust, in both people and themselves. Building the therapeutic rapport is the beginning of trust, and the first step to healing. Mood and emotions can be deceptive, people want to give up, isolate, may be angry or dysfunctional. Take the first step.

In my general psychology practice since 1996, I have served individuals, couples and family members with many different challenges. I am happy to talk by phone to answer any questions you may have before making a first appointment. My style is collaborative and respectful, starting with a thorough assessment. I use a variety of approaches (e.g., Relational Life Therapy, EMDR, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic) to understand problems, solutions, and actions needed for assisting my clients. It is a privilege to be an ally for clients as they gain insights and make powerful changes.

I have tremendous respect for people who make the difficult decision to enter in to psychotherapy. I work collaboratively with older children, adolescents, and adults, in individual, couples, and family therapy. My goal is to explore collaboratively the troubles that have led them to seek treatment at this time. I try to provide a safe, non-judgemental environment, where one can develop insight to better understand and ultimately change behavioral and relational patterns that get in the way of happiness and fulfillment. I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as relationship difficulties and life transitions.

I am a holistic therapist (Body, Mind, Consciousness, Emotions, Energy, & Spirit). I specialize in the area of trauma and utilize therapeutic modalities and alternative healing methods. My focus is to improve your quality of life by finding the solutions to your unique symptoms and life experiences. I strive to provide a solution to your symptoms through physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and spiritual means. Together, we create space for creating conscious intentions and closures, awareness, desensitization, digesting, processing, and reintegration. Moving towards your most authentic self.

After working together you will learn skills to help find meaning and value in your life.

Hello and welcome to Zen Counseling & Consulting Services. I’m Courtney. Have you been to other supposed “LGBT friendly” therapists and felt like they could not relate? Are you stuck in a perpetual cycle of depression and anxiety? Or maybe you are using drugs and/or alcohol to cope with life’s many stressors? Whatever the reason, I’m here to help. You may be asking, “is therapy right for me?” Absolutely! Therapy is a great self-care tool.

Not being able to control our emotions is exhausting. Fluctuating between shutting down and feeling too much leaves us feeling alone, misunderstood.

I help people find the root to their problems and the lies that keep them feeling stuck. Whether you're experiencing these difficulties on your own, with your partner, or as a parent, there's a better way to manage life's difficult moments. There is hope and change is possible.
