Therapists in Maitland, FL

Have you gone through a recent crisis—a cancer diagnosis, loss of a loved one—that has turned your world up-side-down? Are you having problems turning your mind off at night? Does one worry lead to another? Do you automatically think the worst thing is going to happen? Are you having trouble getting out of bed in the morning, feeling stuck, or lacking motivation? I can help. My patients tell me they have made their best progress by working with me. I believe we all have the ability to move through difficulties, cope with change and be better and stronger. I believe you can too if you have the right help.

Is this your first experience with counseling? Are you currently contemplating a breakup or considering separation? Do you find yourself overwhelmed with the challenges of an ongoing relationship? Are you feeling stuck in a negative cycle of managing unrealistic expectations, struggling with low self-esteem, or battling anxiety and depression? Maybe your inner dialogue is relentlessly mean, or you're seeking peace in your life but finding it difficult to achieve. Whatever the motivation for counseling, whether for couples therapy or individual counseling—for yourself, an adolescent, a friend, or a family member—I am here to help.

The decision to seek out therapy can be daunting. It often means admitting to ourselves that there may be something wrong, and that can be scary. It takes a LOT of courage to seek help. Overcoming that battle, is the first step toward positive change. I strive to create a safe environment, where it's ok to feel vulnerable. In collaboration with you, we will plot a course to a happier, healthier, more fulfilling life! You will learn to change the way you think about the world using the most well established and thoroughly researched model of therapy available (CBT).

Dr. Fasula works as a specialist in biofeedback and neurofeedback in Chicagoland and Central Florida as well as for the Dr. Phil Show. She also provides a variety of psychological services to help individuals, groups, and families cope with various issues that arise throughout the lifespan. She utilizes an approach based on integrating individual strengths and assets at more conscious levels to build a foundation of positive mental health and stability. The aim is to clients re-establish a living pattern that improves their sense of satisfaction and confidence in their ability to meet their particular lifestyle needs.

To the outside world, you have it all together. You’ve chased your dreams and found success. You’ve been working so hard to meet your goals, but it’s gotten to the point where you feel depleted, drained, and stuck. You've been dedicating so much of your time and energy to meeting everyone's expectations and their needs, that you have nothing left for yourself. The pressure of being a high achiever is exhausting and you're done. Something's got to change, but you don't know what or how without guilt or shame. Here’s the thing, you don’t have to figure it out alone anymore. There is a way to have a "balanced" life.

We all encounter pain in our own ways, but I believe at the bottom of our individual struggles lies the common ground of shame; disguising itself around thoughts of not being good enough. However, beyond this shame we have a sense of worthiness to uncover. In the process of naming our wounds and owning our story, we can find our belonging and self-worth. My hope is that my office can be a place where you can speak what feels unspeakable, and where you are seen, heard and valued. I strive to create a safe and caring space for my clients to discover the impact that different experiences and relationships can have on one's life.

I offer individual counseling as well as group psychotherapy dealing with issues ranging from deep depression and anxiety to improving relationships and communication. The stress and anxiety of making life transitions, like from high school to college or college to the workforce, can be daunting. I help people dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, and substance abuse issues to actively address their concerns and improve their lives.

If you're here, you're looking for something and probably already know what it is. Maybe you've been worrying for too long and just don't want to feel all that adrenaline and stress anymore. Maybe something happened in the past that left an everlasting impact on you and it's time to let it rest. Or you're neurodivergent and are seeking some guidance about what that means for you. Perhaps you're seeking help for a loved one. You're motivated and ready to make a change, and today is the day you decided to do something about it.

“I’m not sure why I just shared all of that with you” is a comment I have heard many times in my life and is one of the reasons I chose mental health counseling as a profession. When someone is hurting and senses they are in the presence of another who is truly curious about and accepting of them, they feel seen and understood. This is where healing takes place.

Hi, my name is Nicole Rodriguez, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. Here in Empathix Counseling, I have created a safe and inviting space that celebrates equality, inclusion, and diversity.

Many challenges my clients face, whether young or old, lead them to believe they cannot make changes in their lives. As a therapist, I help empower you to break out of these unhealthy patterns. I love helping people move from a place of depression and anxiety toward a foundation of hopefulness.

Now more than ever it is time to focus on your mental well-being. As a compassionate counselor, I am here to work with you on your journey to self care. I have helped individuals overcome numerous issues including stress and anxiety disorders, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, depression, behavioral issues and grief. I have also helped couples and families restore communication among other issues, such as divorce, separation and co-parenting and have facilitated parenting classes. I also see clients needing relationship counseling, couple's counseling and marriage counseling.

My mission is to assist others with becoming their true selves by helping explore within to find their inner strengths. When we allow inner strengths to shine we can change ourselves for the better, overcome obstacles and be who we were meant to be.

Once this relationship has been established, the individual can feel comfortable to address more personal issues in a confidential and respectful environment. I assist with teaching the tools needed to manage thoughts which will then manage behaviors.

Are you battling an inner critic that tells you what to do, how to be, and what situations to avoid, often leaving you feeling unfulfilled, anxious, or depressed? Does this inner critic sometimes take on the voice of perfectionism, and at other times impose strict rules that look like OCD? You’re not alone, and I’m here to help.

My therapeutic approach is a bit different in that I believe we were all born with the tools we need to heal ourselves in our own unique ways. I understand my job as a therapist to be someone who helps another person find those tools within themselves and in doing recognize their strengths, their worth, and their ability to make meaning. The population of clients that I typically work with are single adults, couples, and adolescents. The latter hold a special place in my heart as I can remember my own teen years so vividly and therefore have a tremendous amount of compassion for what they are going through.
