In Person Therapists in Southwest Ranches, FL

Are you afraid to tell your partner about your personal truths? When people are feeling alone, they are disconnected. In these moments of isolation our thoughts of being not understood, or even loved can create reactions and responses that are less helpful. I work with my clients to identify these feelings and responses in order to uncover more fitting approaches to our inter/intra personal relationships. Lasting change sometimes begins with direct feedback. In our setting authenticity and understanding flow both ways. My specialty is helping you navigate newness with validation, support and the tools to generalize our work, to your personal and professional lives.

Have you ever wanted to feel more loved, more connected and enjoy a deeply satisfying relationship with someone? What does that entail? How do you make the necessary changes? Responding to our partners effectively begins within ourselves. These skills require practice in an accepting atmosphere with someone to help us uncover our own best solutions. Together, we will develop attainable goals for emotional wellness and successful relationships. I can provide an experiential environment which helps to identify and unlock your potential for living your best life, Equine Assisted Therapy. Horses provide amazing opportunities for insight, personal growth, acceptance, and comfort.

I am offering in person and telehealth sessions. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and business owner. I focus my clinical work with adults in individual therapy. Some of my clients start our work after a specific stressor or trigger in their life. Having an objective person in their life often helps them through these transitions. While others, chose to come to my office for more exploratory work in finding out what makes them tick. The key ingredient is finding the provider that works best for you.

I help stressed-out individuals feel less overwhelmed and have more peace. You're hard on yourself and find yourself paralyzed with fear of making a wrong step. You're afraid to make decisions or take risks in your life until you've found the "perfect" answer or solution. The indecision and fear of failure stop you from taking action because you get stuck in a haze of self-doubt, worse case scenarios, and uncertainty. I help individuals feel less anxious, have more courage, self-compassion, and make vital changes in their lives.

I believe that the challenges of life--the painful events and feelings which bring a person to therapy--constitute an opportunity for growth, and my practice is dedicated to helping patients achieve that growth in all areas: emotional, mental, physical and spiritual. My methods are holistic and eclectic, and include work with significant others and family members. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which client and therapist work together for the client's growth.

You're intelligent and capable, yet you're caught in unhelpful patterns, grappling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. Life changes like career shifts, divorce, or loss exacerbate these challenges. You're not alone—many seek clarity, direction, and purpose amid these obstacles. They strive to break free from negative cycles, improve mental health, and foster meaningful relationships. I specialize in guiding individuals through these complexities, offering tools to regain control and achieve your goals for mental well-being and fulfilling relationships.

I know finding a therapist you "click" with is hard, there's so much going on in your head, in your life - it seems monumental to face yet another decision. I work with individuals who struggle with adjustment and/or life transitions, depression, anxiety, and chronic/severe mental illness. I believe in creating a collaborative and non-judgmental relationship that can help you achieve long lasting changes in your personal life, your relationships, and your overall well-being. It is so important to be heard, to have someone on your side with no judgment or preconceived notions.

At times people find themselves feeling lost, without direction, unsure of themselves and the world around them. A relationship may end or begin, grief, the pressures of life, trauma, infidelity, divorce, and lack of self-worth can throw anyone off course. At Life's Directions Counseling Services we believe that every client has the innate ability to find their way and to create meaning in their lives.

You have been trying to help your child for a few months now. You are frustrated, tired and worried. All you want is for your child to feel good about themselves, get along with others and be successful. You have tried sticker charts, time-out, taking things away, talking and reasoning with them. Lately, what usually happens is you lose your patience and then regret yelling at them. You never imagined you would be looking for therapy for your child. Maybe it's the school that has suggested you get help for your child. At this point, you just want a professional to take over because you just don't know what else to do anymore.
