Female Therapists in Downtown, Lakeland, FL

Hi. My personal therapy style is to use all of my life learning and apply it to help you achieve your goals for feeling better. Many of my clients are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma or relationship conflict and behavior issues. I have training in substance abuse, hypnosis and Emotional Freedom Technique (an energy psychology technique), plus those therapy staples of Cognitive Behavioral Technique, Behavior Modification and relaxation training. I started in Music Therapy. I see children, teens, couples, families and individuals. I will be expanding to incorporate the Bonny Method of GIM which is trance work for healing.

I believe all of us encounter stages in our lives when we need and deserve support and understanding. I feel truly honored to be able to sit with people during these times. Being able to play an impactful role in the lives of those in need has always been my passion.

To know and be known. This is a core longing of all of ours. We deeply desire to understand our own brokenness and woundedness, and we yearn to be known and to have others walk with us in our sorrows and struggles. Counseling is a safe and empowering place to come as you are, to process your unique story, and to be deeply known in order to experience healing, growth, hope, and celebration.

Many teens and adults struggle with identity issues, anxiety, and feeling depressed. Imagine feeling comfortable with who you are, better able to manage your distress, and hopeful for your future. There are ways to change patterns over time, and I would be honored to help you or your loved one feel better.

We all face different challenges throughout our lives. Whether you're dealing with addiction, anxiety, depression, general life stressors or relationship issues, I'm here to help. I have experience working with adolescents and adults at the outpatient level, leading group, and individual therapy. Also, I have several years in Intensive Outpatient care with adults. I work with people struggling with severe trauma, drug addiction, and mental health concerns. I offer individual and couples therapy.

Do you struggle to prioritize or complete tasks? Do you ever wake up feeling anxious and you don't know why? Are you concerned about your child’s early development? We can discuss it all. Let’s talk!

Having the willingness to bring yourself into the counseling room and sharing your deepest hurts with a stranger can be extremely difficult. Coming in with the openness and desire to get better without knowing how it is all going to work takes a lot of courage. A desire to get better is where it starts, the next step is showing up and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I know it's scary, but you won't be walking this road alone. My job is to stand alongside you and help guide the steps to healing.

Working as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is more than a profession or career choice for me. I recognize this as a true calling. I believe that most people want to live their "best possible life". They just need someone to join them on their life journey to help them become the best possible version of themselves. There is hope for every seemingly hopeless situation. Many times individuals just need a space to feel heard. I would love the opportunity to walk along with you as you discover there is hope and resources available to help you reach your personal goals.

My ideal clients value relationships and seek to improve them, whether as couples facing communication problems, conflicts, or infidelity, or as individuals struggling with self-esteem, sexual concerns, or emotional wounds. They need a safe space for open communication, skill development, and healing. Their goals include rebuilding trust, enhancing intimacy, fostering loving partnerships, improving communication, and achieving personal growth. They want to honor their self and each other! They understand the value of professional guidance for more fulfilling and harmonious relationships.

Hey there! My name is Gina Claxton and I have been working as a counselor/therapist for over 10 years. I work in private practice and I am also a professor at a local university where I help graduate students become counselors themselves. My counseling style is warm, client-focused and non-judgmental. I aim to create a comfortable and safe space for my clients, where they can express themselves without fear of being judged.

If you're feeling stressed, anxious, lonely or having relationship difficulties, and would like to learn how to communicate more effectively with your loved one; then you have come to the right place.

There are times in our lives when things just don't seem to go according to plan. I believe everyone has the capacity to change the way they think and feel and to live the life they've dreamed of no matter what may be going on around us! Creating change requires support and experience on the part of the therapist. Through a process of empathy and understanding, I assist clients in creating positive changes in their lives. I provide a hope-inducing environment, which allows clients to feel comfortable as we create a customized plan to go from "feeling stuck" toward achieving personal goals and making positive, lasting changes!

Couples! How did things get this bad? There was a time when you both could talk about anything. You connected so profoundly that the thought of having trouble communicating was laughable. But things have changed, and you're at an impasse. Now, every attempt at communication about what matters most leads to useless fighting or icy silences. When you’re together, you still feel desperately alone. You don’t recognize the person your partner has become. Even worse, you don’t like who this relationship has made you become. You aren’t ready to give up, but you know that things can't continue like this. You’re ready for help.

It does not matter what stage you are in, in your life (children, teens, adults or seniors) your feelings are important, and I want to help you understand how your life experiences have shaped the behaviors and feelings you're struggling with today.
