Female Therapists in Indian River Shores, FL

My telemedicine practice serves Vero Beach and the state of Florida; and specializes in treating adults who have been impacted by childhood and/or adult trauma and grief. My work has spanned 25 years, and focused on trauma and grief in its many forms. I have taught trauma courses at SUNY Buffalo's Graduate School of Social Work; and spoken nationally on the impact of trauma and/or grief and how they specifically influence pathways to recovery. As the author of "The Power of Story", and "Season of the Fallen Sun", readers can fully understand the insidious ways that trauma and grief alter the quality of their life.

My name is Diana Foltz, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida and working with individuals via Telehealth. I work with adolescents to geriatrics and have experience with all age groups with specialties in anxiety & mood disorders, grief/loss issues, traumatic stress (acute or post), and help with adjusting to major life changes using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-informed care, including experience with EMDR. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life.

The purpose of therapy is to take what you have learned and apply it outside. It is not always easy to make changes, and change can be scary, but once you put your words into action, the change can be beautiful. I have worked with people who struggle with substance use issues, depression, anxiety, and families. I have a passion for working with people in the BiPOC community. I want my clients to believe in themselves and what they can accomplish without needing external validation. My goal is for you to feel confident in your decision-making to process your needs/issues without relying on others.

I received my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Palm Beach Atlantic University and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Barry University. I am licensed in the state of Florida as a Mental Health Counselor and certified by the Florida Certification Board as a Certified Addictions Professional. I am also trained EMDR trauma therapist by EMDRIA. Offer Immigration Evaluations and Substance Use Evaluations.

Counseling is a compassionate, honest, thoughtful conversation where the client feels deeply heard and understood. Individual meaning and wellness come from the complex web of interactions, relationships, and social processes. In a safe and confidential environment, clients can unburden their stress, pain, and suffering without fear of judgment or criticism. Clients are encouraged to think outside the box to find unique solutions to life’s problems.

First Responder? You spend the majority of your time at work "ON," ready for the next call or incident with little to no time to decompress. You witness more traumatic events in a week (maybe even a day) than most people see in a lifetime. Continuous response to traumatic events over time has a profound effect on the autonomic nervous system so much so you can find yourself feeling exhausted emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually. You may have difficulty unwinding or getting sleep without the use of social media, alcohol, drugs, sex, porn, video games, gambling, shopping, food to numb the emotions or sensations in the body.

Healing from trauma is difficult and takes time, seeking help is not easy but it's a brave first step in your journey to a healthier and happier life. Most clients come to me struggling with anxiety, depression or relationship issues that they cannot solve on their own. Emotional blocks stand in the way of a happy and healthy mind. I can help you identify the causes of your distress and find relief from symptoms.

I work with adults, couples, children, adolescents, and families, to develop a treatment plan uniquely designed for each person. During the initial visit, issues bringing the client to therapy and ways of dealing with them are discussed. Common issues addressed in therapy may include stress, depression, anxiety, relationship and family problems, transition, loss, grief, self-esteem, and unhealthy life choices. I employ many advanced theatment modalities to assist my clients. Therapy is designed to address the core issues, but is also goal-oriented and structured to help clients improve communication and relationship skills, and lead happier, more productive lives.

Do you feel like you can no longer enjoy life in the way you once did? Are you having difficulties with sleep, eating patterns, and have lost interest in activities that previously brought you joy? Do you experience excessive crying, irritability, or maybe even social isolation? Do you struggle with substance abuse issues? Making the decision to see a counselor requires courage, strength, and vulnerability in a journey of self-exploration and increased awareness. You can begin to live again! My goal is to develop a therapeutic relationship with you by offering authentic support to reach your optimum growth.

People often experience stress and anxiety in their lives. Sometimes they need a little help to process their thoughts and find a way to manage symptoms effectively. They want to be happy, feel less lonely, and find joy in their lives. My goal is to build a strong therapeutic rapport, offering support and guidance, so we can work collaboratively to address your mental health needs and cope effectively with your symptoms. It takes courage, strength, and vulnerability to seek help. Healing is possible. With active participation and being fully engaged in the therapeutic process, you will achieve success. Are you ready?

Are you questioning whether or not end your relationship because it feels "maddening" that you're not understood or respected and you just don't know how much longer you can take it? Do you feel like you've tried everything to "reach" your partner and it works for a few days, maybe a week and your back to feeling, "should I stay, should I go?" I truly understand this can seem impossible or they may seem impossible and you don't even know why you should work on it. You might even feel like you don't want to work on the relationship but think you should. This type of situation happens much more often than any us would like to admit.

It is always my goal in therapy to "be the mirror" to help you examine what is going on in your life, patterns that brought you here, and what you'd like to change. It is never my place to judge or tell you what to do, however, it is my place to be present with you and help you see yourself and your goals clearly so you may forge your path forward.

Are you navigating life's emotional rollercoaster & looking for a friendly hand to hold along the way? Are you dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-loathing and relationship challenges? Are you looking for relief from your struggles, a boost in self-worth, and stronger connections with yourself and others? You may want to break free from the past, learn positive coping strategies, cultivate healthy habits, learn acceptance, and find peace within yourself. My ideal client is someone who just wants to feel like themselves again—laughing, loving, and living life to the fullest.
