Therapists in Panama City, FL

There is no ideal client, just an ideal concept, the belief in self. We work to build that through conversations about your past present and future, and conquering trauma as a means of living in the now.

I am looking to help you maximize your potential and overcome any issues you're experiencing. I have 25 years of experience assisting and educating others, and I focus on helping people build an understanding of their diseases and what progress looks like, then I teach them how to lead a life of recovery.

Are tired of feeling overwhelmed with your emotions and anxiety, feeling frequently out of control? Does the negative self talk impacts your life, relationship and performance? I hear you!

A sense of healing, empowerment, control, and newly found self-confidence are amongst the best feelings that we can experience in life. Stressors, trauma, toxicity, and confusion can take all of those things away from us. We are all capable of losing a sense of hope, meaning, and regulation. We can feel angry, sad, bitter, and lost and sometimes not know exactly why. I do believe everyone has the potential to conquer their demons and if you're in a position where you are ready for change and long term recovery then I would like to be there to support that feeling and offer guidance towards a better life.

I'm Karen, and I'm here to help support your journey to wellness. I hold a PhD in Counseling, and I am licensed in both Florida (LMHC) and Maryland (LCPC). I've worked with clients in counseling and have trained counseling graduate students for over 15 years. Early in my career, I specialized in helping clients work through interpersonal trauma, such as sexual abuse and physical abuse.

I have worked with clients with a diverse range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addiction, incarceration, mood disorders, personality disorders, psychotic diagnoses, and ADHD.

Hi! I had been a licensed psychologist for 35 years serving the Puerto Rican population for about 35 years and recently licensed in Florida.

My primary work is with children, adolescents, and their families, but I also work with adults individually. Primary areas of specialty include social skills training (I develop curriculum for social groups), and mood regulation within the youth population. I am a staunch advocate of focusing on communication; both verbal and nonverbal, as I help my clients improve their “emotional vocabulary”. My ideal client is someone is ready to make a positive change in his or her life, working through self-improvement. These clients wish to develop skills they are having difficulty with and/or are not able to develop on their own.

I strongly believe you are the expert of your life. However at times life itself gets in the way and we tend to only see what is missing, the half empty glass. Then, we begin to doubt ourselves and with time without attending to ourselves some of the feelings can be: feeling overwhelmed, burnout, anxious, depressed, worried, body pain for no reason to name a few.

My name is Karen F Armstrong. License therapist in Florida. I have worked for over twenty years in the field of behavioral health/relationships/addictions. In each area I counsel I provide good listening skills, I am nonjudgmental, insightful, and supportive. Through the years I have provided support and to help modify problem behaviors to those that suffer from anxiety, depression, poor coping, stress, grief, OCD, eating disorders, and addictions. I have also worked with couples and guided them through their relationship problems including affairs, money, stress, and any issue that occurs within a relationship.

Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling with your relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I am Eliana Gassette. I am an LMHC specializing in anxiety, ADHD, depression, and panic attacks.

I have experience working with a variety of topics including grief and loss, mood disorders, LGBTQ+ anxiety, adolescent issues, bariatric evaluations, divorce, end of life issues, social problems/bullying, and adjustment/life changes. I have experience working with various multidisciplinary teams in a host of settings and working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I work with all populations.

I approach mental health and personality from a holistic perspective. I consider multiple variables when working with clients including mental health, medical history, nutrition, exercise and environment. I would describe my theoretical orientation as eclectic. Eclecticism incorporates therapies from a number of different sources ranging from cognitive-behavioral approaches to alternative treatments such as mindfulness training and meditation. The therapeutic techniques that I use vary from client to client because what works for one person may not work for another. Moreover, I often use more than one therapeutic method depending on my clients' needs.

Sometimes life is just hard! Whether you are struggling with the ups and downs of life, or life has thrown you curve balls such as abuse or divorce, getting through can be hard...but you do not have to do it alone. I am here to be your coach, confidant, encourager, and friend, and to help you learn the skills needed to weather the storm. I am a faith-based counselor, incorporating Christ into sessions, and practice play therapy with children and adolescents. Come find hope and healing, and include a contact number! I look forward to working with you!

I have a unique perspective in that I have experience in other areas prior to psychology. I work on problem solving techniques often as quick as the first session, when applicable, because you come here for help. As a therapist, I am here to guide you in the direction you determine. I am not here to "tell you what to do", but rather help you focus on your issues, form goals, and attain those goals. Often I will used testing and other techniques to help identify problem areas, and therefore solutions, so that you may move on with your life.

There are many reasons why people seek counseling with me. Sometimes it's to deal with long-standing psychological issues with anxiety or depression. Other times it is in response to unexpected changes in one's life such as a divorce, a death or work transition. Therapy provides insight & new perspectives into life's challenges, creates solutions & confidence to make changes. I create a safe, warm, non-judgmental environment for my clients to explore their choices & emotions so they are able to gain insight, self-confidence & new coping skills in order to navigate life's obstacles more effectively.

As your counselor, I will meet you exactly where you are in life. The direction that you want to go is entirely up to you. I will provide you with compassionate counseling that will enable you to rest, heal, and strengthen from the past so you may pursue your future with freedom. Your journey belongs to you.
