Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Longwood, FL

As adults, we are responsible for resolving the traumas that have happened to us, to pick up the pieces and put ourselves back together, not because we are to blame for our experiences, but because we are the only ones who CAN change them. That can feel unfair, and it is, there is no doubt about that. On the flipside it can also be empowering- you are the catalyst for personal change, you can always take a turn or step in a different direction, you can always act differently, feel differently, and (with the right tools and assistance) start the healing process. I am here to help you with this noble, and sometimes difficult work.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults ages 12+ who deal with depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQIA issues, insomnia, sexual intimacy and other relationship issues through individual, couples, and hypnotherapy counseling. My practice, FreelyMe Psychotherapy, is a judgment-free zone where everyone can feel comfortable being themself.

Welcome, my name is Marina Cadreche and I am a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Florida with over 27 years of experience. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, relationship challenges, trauma, grief and substance use disorders. I utilize various therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution Focused therapy. I am mindful of culture and ethnic differences.

Are you frustrated and overwhelmed in your relationship with another person? Research shows that happiness in life depends most on having strong, healthy connections with the people around you. Unfortunately, things don't always go smoothly. Maybe you're in a state of conflict with your current partner, your ex, a co-worker or family member...and it's wearing you down. Even though the issue is "relational", my approach is individual. I believe the first step in healing is understanding your own feelings, experiences, needs and obstacles. We can do that through hourly sessions, online or in person. I also do intensives (2-4 hours).

When parents call me, I most often hear that their child is experiencing big emotions they are unable to control, that their child is struggling with grades or focus in school, that their child isn’t communicating with them anymore, that their child is expressing more anger, or that their child just doesn’t seem like themselves. Parents are calling when they have used every tool in their toolbox to try to help their child, and don't know what else to do. Through counseling, we can add new tools to the toolbox that allow both the parent and the child to navigate these challenges with personal growth and stronger family relationships.

At Transformative Counseling and Wellness, our ideal clients are those who are ready to invest in themselves. If you are ready to do so, we would be privileged to travel with you on that journey. Our clients' goals are to invest more in transforming themselves rather than in remaining locked in their own dysfunction by choice.

I strive to create a comfortable and accepting therapeutic relationship.  I focus on you, your needs and goals, with the assistance of evidence based therapy including client centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, LGBTQ affirming therapy and more. I have experience working with multiple ethnic backgrounds, religious affiliations and orientations. I bring a sense of hope to all of my clients.

Ready to take steps toward emotional healing & growth? I'm here to support you on your journey. I am passionate about creating a safe and nurturing space where you can freely express yourself. My approach is centered on empathy, understanding, and genuine connection. I believe in the power of honesty and authenticity in therapy. I would be honored to hold the space for you and hear your heart.

Does life feel like a series of problems? At times, we may feel exhausted, disempowered, stuck, and unfulfilled by the sense that we are constrained and consumed by challenges like depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, chronic illness, life transitions, work stress, and uncertainty about our life's purpose. Jason believes his role as a registered clinical mental health counselor intern is to help clients face these difficulties skillfully, creatively, and meaningfully, helping them achieve happiness. As a person who has worked in many different industries, Jason understands the everyday life struggles that you may be facing.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or fear caused by overwhelming changes, relationship concerns, or experiencing a difficult time in your life? Maybe it's something that "just doesn't feel right", or perhaps you just need extra support for a major life decision or situation. Have you been thinking about seeing a therapist, but not sure where to begin? Seeking help is a positive step in the right direction. Everyone experiences challenging times, however, when life stressors become extremely overwhelming it is time to reach out for professional help.

Appointments available the same week! Sometimes find that our past coping skills no longer meet our current needs & learning new skills is necessary. Counseling is a place do just that. My approach is to partner with clients to explore their current thoughts feelings, & actions, assist in developing insight about one's self, & provide new coping skills so they have the tools to reach their goals. I have training & experience in Trauma Informed Care, Adoption Competency, & Marriage & Family Therapy.

Night after night, you and your partner lie in bed together feeling miles apart. The quiet between you feels heavy. Days end without fixing things, making you feel more distant. It's hard to talk like you used to, with hurt and misunderstandings getting in the way. You miss how things were when joy and closeness filled your days. Now, all you have are these endless arguments and cold silences. You're both longing to find that closeness again, to understand and heal together. Despite the tough times, you still hold onto hope for a future where you can reconnect and grow stronger together.

I provide a safe space for clients to learn, grow and have a better understanding of who they are. We all want to live a healthy and balanced life. Let's work together to help you achieve it.

I am passionate about working with people in the midst of life transitions, especially young adults. As we transition in life, our coping skills may become less effective and past traumas may assert a new influence in our lives. I specialize in helping individuals work through these transitions, however they may present, including coping with a range of symptoms related to things like anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Do you feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety or depression? Do you experience loneliness or lack a sense of direction? Are you looking for greater meaning and understanding in your life and life’s purpose? Are you seeking to create balance, and harmony in your life?

Getting to know our authentic self can be a lifelong journey. We all have a story and the people in our lives, or not in our lives have helped to create that story. There is power in engaging our story. This takes courage and helps to integrate our lives, this integration is what rewires our brain and body for healthy connection. Our stories begin to make sense as we link our past and present. By facing our story, we start by looking at the places in our lives where we have been harmed and surprisingly we find freedom, hope, and joy.

Are you experiencing difficulty at home, work, school and in relationships due to anxiety, low self-esteem, and/or stress? Maybe you're going through a Iife transition, dealing with loss and grief, having relationship troubles, or just really struggling overall. I believe everyone deserves a safe, non-judgmental place to process and move forward. Everyone deserves someone they feel safe sharing the tricky parts of life with and someone who is cheering them on toward healing and growth.
