Therapists in Palm Harbor, FL

I started my professional training in psychology in 1988, earning three masters and a doctorate degree. My training has focused extensively on working with adults and children in out-patient, in-patient and residential settings. I have served as an adjunct faculty at Argosy University. I conduct workshops to facilitate awareness of mental health issues and provide resources for different organizations. I am contracted with QTC Medical group - a group through the Department of Veterans Affairs, to provide psychological services to our veterans.

Our philosophy is to promote various aspects of health based on the strengths of each individual by thoughtfully acknowledging each person's unique talents and abilities. I have 20 years of experience in working with adolescents and adults with mental health problems, dual disorders, and substance abuse issues. For the past 16 years, I have directly worked with adults who had these problems. I offer mental health counseling for dual disorders, substance abuse, addictive behaviors (i.e., food, gambling, technology), the impact of family members' addiction, adult children of addicts (i.e., ACOAs), codependency, and more.

I work with people to help them reach their full potential. I can do this with telehealth or in person. My job is to help remove those barriers keeping you from becoming who you really are. That might simply be a change in your life you are having trouble making. Or that may be a mental health or physical issue you have. Because I'm both a psychotherapist AND Chiropractic Physician, I can address the physical components of things that are keeping you from being who you want to be too. Often the physical problems have psychological components and the psychological problems have physical components.

As a psychologist in Clearwater for over 40 years, I bring experience, wisdom, and stability to the therapeutic process. I have been happily married for 48 years and personally know the importance of effective communication and compromise in relationships. I value your time. It is rare for someone to wait more than 10 minutes. With few exceptions, I will conclude the initial session with my impressions, and I will suggest a treatment plan focused on solutions. I am direct and action oriented with a focus on changing behavior and negative thoughts within a supportive relationship.

I offer compassionate and non-judgmental therapy to adults who are feeling stressed, overwhelmed or even hopeless. I've been working in the mental health field for over 20 years.

As a therapist for over 30 years I have worked in a variety of settings providing individual & group therapy to children, adolescents, adults and families. I specialize in helping clients work through issues related to stress, loss, self-esteem, parenting, trauma, trust in relationships, life changes, anxiety and depression. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can strengthen your capacity to engage with others, navigate through what is making you feel stuck, enhance your problem-solving and coping skills, and generate a solid plan of action.

To those around you, it may seem as though you're doing pretty good in life. You do what you can & try to cope with the inevitable ups & downs, however, deep down you find yourself wondering, "What if I'm not doing 'life' right?", "What if I'm really not capable of all this?", "What if I'm not good enough?". You catch yourself worrying about the future & what's to come. And at other times, ruminating about the past & questioning if you've made the right choices. There are times you may fear it's all gonna come crashing down one day. That the foundation on which your life is built could be in danger of crumbling.

It would be my honor to help you discover the types of things about yourself, others and the world that will allow you to grow a lush garden of wisdom, freedom and peace from the now rich fertilizer that originally was just a pile of dookie dumped in your lap.
