We rely on modern therapeutic techniques that give clients the tools to understand and address their mental and emotional health. We offer individual and group therapy, but even in group counseling, our goal is to help each participant achieve personal insight. Sarasota’s premier therapist, counseling, and psychotherapy center. We believe in giving clients the tools to understand, question, and process their own emotions, thoughts, and behavior. In therapeutic terms, we rely on object relations and psychodynamic theoretical frameworks. In practice, this means that each patient is empowered to address his or her own mental health.

Our counselors are trained to tailor their treatment to each unique person who steps through our door. People managing grief, anxiety, and anger all have different needs. Your counselor can give help guide you towards discovering an understanding the very things that are at the roots of what is causing so much distress in your life today.
In counseling sessions, clients learn how to examine their feelings and patterns of thought to see where they may have some blind spots, such as how they view themselves. Doing so helps determine the root causes for potentially destructive thoughts and behaviors. You do not need to be in a mental health crisis for therapy to be necessary.
