Therapists in Virginia Park, Tampa, FL

One of the most common challenges we face is reaching out for help. Too often, we suppress or deny our emotions and trauma experiences, believing that we have to process them alone. This suppression can cause adverse symptoms such as anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, and relational or self-destruction. It is my belief that we do not have to continue suffering alone and therapy is a great step towards healing the damage we think can never be undone. Therapy helps create an atmosphere where understanding, change and growth are possible while giving back the power to make our own meaning and purpose in life.

Sometimes we reach a point in our lives where we just want to feel better. The stress of daily life combined with the complications of relationships and our own histories can make it difficult to feel connected, whole, and peaceful. When we experience trauma and/or ongoing stress in life we develop habits, beliefs, and cycles that sometimes cease to serve us any longer.

Life often brings us unexpected changes, hardships, and challenges. Even positive changes like an addition to the family, a big move, or a new career opportunity can trigger intense stress while adjusting to a new normal. Navigating these stressors in your life, whether past or present, may seem difficult and negatively impact how you want to function and feel.

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Addictions Professional (CAP), and Qualified Supervisor working as an individual, group and family therapist in the Tampa Bay area. My personal philosophy is that people are essentially good and have the ability to grow and change throughout their lifetime. I feel I possess a natural ability to relate to people and enjoy the unique qualities of individuals. Therapists have been responsible for facilitating positive change in the lives of individuals, groups and families and I would love to be apart of that journey.

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by the weight of the world? Struggling to find balance in your work, personal life, and self-advocacy? You're not alone. Hi, I'm Cameron, a licensed clinical social worker, herbalist, and yoga practitioner dedicated to supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds on their journey to mental and emotional wellness. As a black woman, I understand the unique challenges and pressures that marginalized groups face. That's why I've made it my mission to create a safe and inclusive space for individuals who often feel ignored or overlooked by traditional healthcare systems.

I appreciate you taking the time to learn about me and how I enjoy helping people. I have experience working in the mental health field for over 14 years and am passionate about assisting individuals in growing and improving their lives through a collaborative, empathetic, and compassionate approach. I specialize in working with adults, ages 18+, and children, specifically ages 4-10 years old, in helping them cope with emotional and behavioral challenges. I have extensive experience working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, stress management, and acute trauma.

While there are many excellent therapists, the question of best fit is vital. My therapeutic approach honors suffering and difference. Therapy is a place for healing through words, stories, and a trusting relationship. Through this relationship new narrative possibilities arise, as empathy and compassion open a path for creative collaboration. The goal of this approach is relief from old narratives and relationship patterns that no longer serve you. As you develop greater insight and awareness, you gain the freedom to make more intentional decisions about how and who you want to be.

For over 35 years, I have treated individuals and couples in the Tampa Bay area. My typical client is a professional person who is struggling with the stress of work, relationships, or parenting. A significant percentage of couples I work with are "dual career" couples, who have the added stress of career and family. I enjoy working with clients to improve communication skills and to reduce stress. My goal is for my clients to learn, or remember, how to enjoy a meaningful and fulfilling life, in spite of whatever obstacles life presents to them.

Accepting NEW clients! Finding meaning and fulfillment in life can be quite difficult as helplessness, worthlessness, stress, fear, anxiety and worry leave you feeling stuck and overwhelmed. My clinical experiences with asylum seekers, prisoners of war and Veterans set the foundation for my passion to provide trauma-informed treatments that are grounded in research and proven to be effective. I have found that a client-centered approach to therapy is most effective for helping to resolve emotional wounds and build resiliency during times of crisis and distress.

I specialize in adolescent, couple, and family dynamics. I speak to groups and offer therapy to individuals, couples, and families. I have a particular interest in adolescent development, pre-marital counseling, relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, grief, divorce, elder issues, and obstacles to personal growth.

Making the decision to reach out to a psychologist is a courageous one and I understand the vulnerability required to make that phone call. As a psychologist, I try to create a collaborative environment where I help to empower my clients to develop a deeper understanding and awareness of themselves. I take on a more active role and do more than ask how something makes you feel. I can provide objectivity, support, feedback in a nonjudgmental manner, and skills to be able to tackle a variety of concerns in life.

All I want to do each day is to help clients learn who they truly are and help them let go of the negative beliefs and stories that define them. It is, without a doubt, my purpose here. You can “reboot” yourself by changing both your beliefs about yourself and your brain. Core beliefs and your brain dictate your behavior and choices. Whether it's trauma, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, BiPolar, OCD or other challenge, we will work at your foundation, not focus solely on rearranging surface daily thoughts.

Feeling safe to express yourself in a nonjudgmental environment is an important piece to therapy. Finding your therapist is a difficult personal decision. Your therapist should encourage you to explore your honest thoughts and feelings, since the exploration can help lead to life changes. Your therapist should encourage self exploration and assist in identifying beneficial life changes, as well as ways to change negative outlooks on life. While academics and credentials are important, therapy revolves around an intimate relationship, and the relationship is the key to making changes.

When you struggle with strained communication and the pain outweighs the joy of being together, how can you find your way back to a loving connection? What's missing for you now? How did it get this way? Why not have the support and guidance to turn things around and heal the hurts? We can clear up the misperceptions that keep you distant, full of resentment, and lonely. Don't wait another second. You can begin to save your marriage even if only one of you wants to. Call me today and let's get started. Two day or three day marriage intensives available too!
