Hello, hi, heyy, wut up, hola! My name is Kortney Ploski. I am the owner and lead therapist at Resilience Mental Health Services, Tampa.

I received my undergraduate degree from the University of South Florida. I graduated my masters level education with honors granted from International Honors Society of Psychology at Nova Southeastern University.

Accepting New Clients! TBCS is a group of mental health clinicians dedicated to providing quality mental health services so you feel comfortable to heal, improve, and change what you can through psychotherapy. Specializing in treatment using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy ( CPT), Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Somatic Integration and Processing (SIP), Dance/Movement Therapy, and Art therapy, we believe mental health for all ages includes emotional/mental flexibility, openness, and healthy social connection.

Being human can be difficult. We can all feel stuck at times, like things need to change, things are out of control and moving too quickly, or we are exhausted from too much change. I am passionate about journeying with adult individuals to discover helpful insights to live with a bit more ease, to stay more present, to walk with you through the process of change, or simply to validate that being human can be difficult. I see clients struggling with burn-out, anxiety, depression, existential dread, trauma, processing emotions, reembodiment, and life transitions.

With over 20 years of dedicated practice spanning a variety of clinical settings, my wealth of experience and expertise is at your service. Armed with a master's degree in clinical counseling and currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Counselor Education and Supervision, my commitment to continuous learning and professional growth is unwavering. I am passionate about trauma-informed care, ensuring that the space I provide is not only safe but also empathetic, fostering healing and growth for individuals. Contact me to begin a journey of positive change, combining understanding, support, and strategies towards a fulfilling life.

Every one of us is feeling overwhelmed these days! I know how difficult it can be to know where to start sometimes, particularly if you are going through challenging times. Please know you are not alone, and I am here to help you. Mental health is about promoting wellness, not just relieving illness. All of us get “stuck” in life, including the “professionals”…that’s what it means to be human! Life throws us many curveballs, and we aren’t given manuals on how to handle it all. But, I firmly believe that challenges can become opportunities to learn more about ourselves, and to regain our personal power.

I specialize in supporting women with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic health, and pre/post-natal issues. Seeking a counselor can be scary, but I'm here to extend a helping hand. You no longer have to carry the weight alone. If the burden has become too much, let me be the dedicated professional to assist you. Recognizing you as the expert in your own life, I aim to guide you towards new paths of healing. I provide a safe space for each woman to share their life experiences. Here, you can feel, say, and be exactly who you are.

Our office is set up to work specifically with children ages 0-18 to allow them to feel comfortable and relaxed.

You have been struggling for a while now. “Oh if we can get through this week/month/season, things will get better”, you think. But if nothing improves, it may be time to book a session to organize your thoughts. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I enjoy seeing couples and families as a system, with each person moving both independently and together to form cohesion. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, I can also help you individually find the coping skills and tools to allow your autonomous self to achieve the optimal health and wellness you want and deserve.

As with many other things in life, I am a firm believer that there is a “no one size fits all approach" in counseling. What this looks like in therapy is working collaboratively with you, using an integrative approach that is tailored to best fit your needs. I use theoretical approaches that fit with both your personality and presenting issues in counseling; primarily utilizing solution-focused and client-centered approaches, specifically focusing on strengths. It is always my hope to create a safe and comfortable space where growth can flourish.

Do you want to make changes in your life but don't know how or where to begin? Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed and as if you put one foot forward only to take several steps back? Are you experiencing sadness , worry or loss of any kind whether it be a separation, divorce, death of a family member or animal? Together we can explore what has you feeling all these uncomfortable emotions and where they originated and how to change them. 

Whether this is your first time in therapy or you've given it a few tries before, I'm so glad you are choosing to invest in yourself. I know it is often hopelessness and feeling stuck that leads you here. I believe you deserve to find true healing and to have someone alongside you in the process. I have had the privilege of seeing many others find greater well-being through their time in counseling and hope that this can be a place of restoration for you as well. My area of focus includes but is not limited to work with adolescents, college students, and adults.

Life is truly a journey, and that journey looks completely different for everyone. I have worked with individuals with a variety of conditions including: Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, ADHD, Body Image Concerns, Substance Use Issues, Adjustment Issues, and Self-Esteem. Each journey comes with ups and downs, and it is important to have support and encouragement along the way! I strive to meet all my clients exactly where they are at in life and work collaboratively with them to ensure that our sessions are geared towards their specific goals. We are all unique individuals that feel and process life experiences in our own way.

Life can be overwhelming, to the point where you can't seem to find out where you need to be. Maybe you know where you want to be but you're stuck. Have you been waiting for "things to get better eventually" and everything to fall into place? Life is confusing with the many paths to take, where you’re left wondering which path is the right one. Maybe you're just overwhelmed with the things on your plate and you need help through the trials you're facing. Are you ready to start feeling accomplished and motivated? Are you ready to build a life that matters? Are you ready to create balance in your life? Are you ready to begin anew?

Is your relationship going through a difficult phase, facing the possibility of separation or divorce, or simply in need of revitalization? Are you struggling due to depression or anxiety? I specialize in helping individuals resolve these issues and enhance their relationships, by helping you identify, understand, eliminate unhealthy patterns. Don't underestimate the significance of your mental, emotional and relationship health. My objective is to guide you in your journey towards becoming a better version of yourself, by pinpointing what is holding you back. I completed Gottman Couples Method Level 3 training.

You might be feeling the pressure to be a Super Woman, maybe a Super Mom, definitely a Super Everything. Maybe you are pregnant or postpartum and trying to cope with all the feelings and transitions. You rarely stop to take care of yourself before you take of others because you just don’t have time or you’re too tired. The stress can feel overwhelming, but you don’t know what to do from here because it feels like you’re caught in an endless loop. You might have a history of anxiety, depression, or difficult life events that seem to pop up at the worst possible moments and make it that much harder to manage all these demands.

The challenge to share your true feelings has become a silent battle as you hide behind an image you've meticulously constructed. You have caught yourself comparing your internal struggles to others' seemingly perfect external appearances. Finding yourself feeling disheartened, pouring time and effort into various aspects of your life, yet constantly feeling a sense of inadequacy. A realization that you may be slipping into familiar patterns of isolation, doubts, and fears.
