Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Port Orange, FL

My Ideal client is somebody who feels lonely, anxious, or depressed. He or she just wants to be heard by someone, when they feel like nobody else will listen. The goals of my ideal client include finding their own voice, being able to make their own decisions throughout life, and much more! My ideal client has these goals because they want to take charge of their own life.

I work with a diverse population of clients of any age, catering each session to the unique circumstances they experience. From children to adults, I have unique, hands-on activities to better engage the brain to create thought-provoking and insightful interactions. I believe everyone has the ability to grow and flourish, utilizing the strength found within themselves. I aid in that strength with curiosity, compassion, and connection in the therapeutic process. I have experience working with concerns of trauma, behavioral issues, life transitions, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and circumstances that affect diverse populations.

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.

My clients are as eclectic as my treatment approach. No two people are alike. As a result, treatment goals vary with each individual person. My clients are not in crisis. They are high functioning individuals (ages 4-104) that are experiencing some sort of stressor in their lives. Life is full of unpredictable events including but not limited to separation, divorce, relationship issues, narcissistic abuse, loss of any kind, career changes, family issues, depression, changes in children's behavior, parenting, single parenting, recent diagnosis of mental health/ health condition, anxiety, fear, hurt and depression.

Therapy is about where you are and where you want to go. It is about acceptance of your values and the goals that you seek. Therapy doesn't have to be a long painful journey. Resolving conflicts, getting over issues, or addressing unwanted feelings should be a positive quest. I believe in short term therapy which has been successful with my Adult and Adolescent clients who experience depression, anxiety, trauma and other symptoms. Life Coaching-Therapy can help uncovering the patterns of feelings, thoughts or patterns of behavior that have interfered with our goals.

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.
