Female Therapists in Florida

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida. I have worked in medical social work and as a home health social worker and short-term therapist with older adults and their families to provide support and long-term planning. I also work with young adults deciding their career and life path and to assist with the anxiety and uncertainty this can entail.

Do you feel like you are just surviving? Do you feel like you are only going through the motions of life? Are you struggling with the same problems over and over again? Do you feel like you are stuck in the same negative cycles feeling hopeless and helpless as if there is no way out? I am here to show you that there is another way. I would love to help you see how you can thrive and truly enjoy your life. I use an inside out approach to help others like you achieve true happiness in their life through insight-based counseling. I am NOT here to be the expert on you, I am here to help guide you back to the wisdom already within you.

I have specialized training in working with pre and post op bariatric surgery patients. I have specialized programs for binge eaters, bulimics and anorexics as well and trauma and sexual abuse for the last 40+ years. This work has been my passion since I was over 450 pounds when I was younger and with the help of special therapists was able to lose over 250 pounds and managed to keep that weight off all these years. I was also sexually abused as a young child which led to the onset of my eating disorder.

I have more than 25 years of clinical experience, helping people grow, heal, and transform their lives. I have worked extensively with adults who have grown up in addictive/abusive/dysfunctional families, as well as adults who are experiencing here - and - now life challenges. I welcome clients who are struggling with issues of self-esteem, relationship difficulties, compulsions/addictions, disordered eating, depression, illness/pain, and anxiety. When someone is ready to embark on the journey of healing, I am honored and privileged to join in that journey with my skill, expertise, and compassionate presence.

People are often motivated to come to therapy to deal with problems that range from depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, grief, and loss. My work focuses on offering empowering support and tools that assist in searching to find meaning and purpose in these rough and unpredictable passages. I am a licensed clinical social worker and have provided counseling to individuals, and couples for the past twenty years. My work is informed by methods that are client-centered, respectful of the individual, and considered best practices.

Hello and welcome to the first step in enhancing your life and relationships. I appreciate your desire to invest your precious resources into your well-being and happiness. I also recognize the importance of finding a therapist that is the best fit for you. I am a clinical member of AAMFT (American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy), and a licensed marriage and family therapist. While I work with many couples and families, a large portion of my practice is individuals. My approach is strength based, which means I focus on individual and family strengths and resources.

Have you ever felt like no one understands what you are going through? Life can sometimes be challenging but you don’t have to go it alone. We can work together to find solutions and strategies to help you manage those challenges. I am a licensed mental health counselor and I work with teens and adults. I have a concentration in trauma and have extensive experience working in the field of eating disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, substance abuse and trauma.

When the stressors of life or work are weighing heavy on you the last thing you need is a therapist that lets you sulk in your misery and only listens to you vent about it. When you don't feel good about yourself because of past experiences this approach may not work for you. Wouldn't it be better if you had someone to inspire and encourage you to overcome these challenges through mindset shifts and effective strategies?

Hey there! My practice with clients is guided by a belief in the capacity of humans to heal, adapt, and grow from even the most traumatic experiences or longstanding difficulties when provided a space to connect with the core of who they are. Pain is a universal human condition, but no person is the same and I will work with you in each session to create a therapy that is unique to your experiences, identity, and desires for yourself, and that that supports you in long-term, integrated healing in body and mind.

First, thanks for stopping by. I am truly honored that you are considering me to be such an integral part of your life's journey! My name is Ana and I am a trauma therapist trained in both EMDR and neuropsychotherapy. My practice is founded primarily on the intersection of neuroscience and mental health counseling theories where we use the mind-brain relationship to our advantage to shift into cycles of health and healing. This framework provides a unique overlap between building cognitive and behavioral management skills and addressing trauma and emotions in the physical body to increase resilience and promote long-lasting change.

Hello and congratulations on taking this first difficult step to finding a mental health provider! My name is Haley Dacks, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida.

Hi. My name is Jodi Rabkin-Turner, LMHC, LPC. I specialize in trauma, PTSD and the disorders that come from those issues. I typically work with clients that have depression and anxiety, PTSD, sexual abuse, trauma, substance abuse or any symptoms that occur due to past or present life experiences. I am very straight forward and tend not to beat around the bush. It takes some work to change and get past your issues, so I give out some real life assignments that can be used in the "real world" to help clients to get passed their core issues.

What would you be like if optimism replaced fear? If you were able to view struggles as opportunities for growth? How might this affect the way you see yourself? Could it lead to a decrease in your anxiety or better your mood? We all perceive our lives in story lines. Their plots are created by life experiences, relationships, and societal norms. Sometimes it is these very stories, authored by us, that can make us feel stuck. Imagine experiencing freedom from worry about the thoughts or judgments of others.

Are you struggling with relationship challenges, contemplating a divorce, coping with the aftermath of losing a marriage, or trying to navigate how to better communicate with others? I have experience working with families, couples and individuals to increase understanding and achieve plans for success moving forward. I am also a former public-school teacher and adjunct instructor with extensive experience working with young adults, teens, and pre-teens. I specialize in helping clients struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, self-harm, and managing life transitions. Whatever the problem, we can find a solution.

You may be unsure what you want from psychotherapy or how it could help. You may know only that you are struggling and wish life could be better. You may want help for a specific issue. Or you may have had therapy before but not seen the changes you want. As President-Elect of the Tampa Bay Psychoanalytic Society, having trained under renowned psychologist Dr. Jonathan Shedler of UCSF and lectured at UC Berkeley on integrating psychedelic experiences, I come with perspective and technique not often found in mainstream counseling. My fine art background also informs how we may see your world anew.

Hello, I'm Laura Perry, the creator of Peace Empowered, a space where you can feel heard, seen, and supported on your journey. Do you struggle with finding peace and happiness? Have you found yourself constantly expecting the worst, feeling irritable, tearful, or even angry? Perhaps you've noticed unhealthy repetitive patterns in your relationships. If any of this resonates with you, know that you're not alone. Despite my professional background I still struggled with unhealthy, sometimes unconscious toxic patterns resulting from my past. Hitting emotional rock bottom marked a turning point. Determined to heal, I sought help.

I work with clients from children to young adults who have a variety of needs from anxiety, depression, life transitions, and divorce, to life skills coaching, forming healthy attachments, and help with interpersonal relationship skills.

WEEKEND appts available - Living a life with physical and/or mental challenges, or even caring for a loved one with such, causes a unique set of limitations. Barriers you face affect you in all aspects of your life. Navigating mainstream society is exhausting. Having an impairment evokes many emotions.

My ideal client is seeking a therapist who can provide trauma-informed support, help them manage their anxiety and depression, and guide them on their journey towards healing and self-empowerment. They want a therapist who can offer validation, understanding, and practical tools to navigate the complexities of their trauma and mental health challenges. Their ultimate desire is to regain a sense of control, resilience, and fulfillment in their life.
