Often times a person can feel stuck in their daily life due to a trauma from their past, I am a certified ART Trauma therapist for adults and children.
I specialize in working with a wide population of people from children into latter life. I do my best to create a safe atmosphere for clients to process their pain and work through problems. I am motivated by compassion and love for people as I work with everyday life concerns, behavioral issues, life transitions, anxiety, depression, life skills, complicated relationships, grief, couples, spiritual concerns, and Christian faith. Ultimately, I seek to help people find true inner healing instead of just treatment.

Supportive relationships help build a foundation for resilience across childhood into adulthood.
Facing & accepting experiences in life is a process that is often challenging & requires time & an emotional & mental investment. It is also an empowering journey that promises healing and growth to those who choose to engage in an evidence-based, facilitated approach from the effects of trauma &/or developmental impairments. I combine elements of social skills training, psychoeducational & psychodynamic techniques, & emphasize support.

As a young adult you have a lot of worries: sorting out career, relationships, setting up your future. All of that alone can be stress enough, but add depression, anxiety, and the psychological struggles that come with that stress it gets even worse. While your struggles are very real, it can be difficult to get anyone to take them seriously. People your age don't have any more insight than you do about it, and older adults don't remember how frightening these struggles can be. They don't remember feeling like you're behind on the imaginary timeline, or feeling less accomplished than you should be. You aren't alone.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Port Orange, FL provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Port Orange build great relationships with the child and the parent.

Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
