Somatic Therapists in Fort Myers, FL

I am a solution focused and strength based therapist using evidence based treatments and an integrative approach to treat diverse areas such as trauma and PTSD/C-PTSD, depression and anxiety, ADD/ADHD, grief and loss, work challenges, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and women's issues. My goal is to help you create possibilities , uncover your true potential, and lead a life worth celebrating.

Licensed professional mental health counselor with experience in both a private and community mental health setting. Personal and professional history includes great exposure to a diverse set of life experiences and clientele. My therapeutic approach is person centered with an emphasis on compassion, emotion, mindfulness, somatic interventions, and cognitive behavioral techniques. The counseling relationship will be used to explore your life (physical, mental, spiritual) and discover your own unique solutions to any problems you may be facing.

Life is an ocean of never-ending challenge; we can get overwhelmed, anxious, isolated, and feel out of control. Without proper support we miss the opportunities for growth that adversity offers. I provide a supportive structure that allows exploration of the most important aspects of your life and helps you develop concrete practical skills to better respond to the complex challenges life presents - - whether in individual, couples, or family therapy. You will learn to better know, understand, and accept more of your experiences and interactions as you discover and shape more satisfying layers of yourself and your relationships.

Are you struggling with past traumas, anxiety, depression, or just feel disconnected in your life? Do you feel sometimes like you are "too much" or feel misunderstood in your relationships? If you have experienced trauma, traditional talk therapy is often not enough for creating lasting change. A holistic, integrated approach allows you to tap into the body's innate wisdom. I assist individuals and couples in the areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and loss, self-esteem, relationship challenges, sexuality, boundaries, spiritual and existential questions.

Living in this world involves facing twists and turns instead of a clear and steady path. This can make it difficult to know who to trust or where to go to get the healing you deserve. For a lot of us this may be depression and anxiety, complex trauma, or lack of a sense of identity. Trying to survive in a world where we are told to live and think a certain way, and feel like we have to mask who we truly are just to get through each day. I find it exceptionally important to implement compassionate and creative experiences to help you discover your true authentic self and become the main character of your story.

Accepting new clients. Are you looking for a way to make a shift in your life, but you’re unsure what to do? Maybe you're worried that making this change will impact your life in a way you're not ready? Maybe you’ve been told to compartmentalize and bury what’s been going on for so long that you’re now overwhelmed. Perhaps you spent most your life serving others, and along the way lost your own identity. Maybe you've tried to handle it on your own, but it just isn’t working anymore. Through valued based & wellness living goal setting we can work together to help you make the meaningful changes you need in your life that honors you.

Perhaps life has been extremely challenging lately (e.g., struggling to find balance in managing the kids, relationships and/or a stressful career) and you are feeling unable to adequately attend to your own emotional needs. Maybe unprocessed trauma (e.g., childhood abuse/neglect, workplace or racial) experiences are affecting your relationships and keeping you from living your best life. Could it be that women’s health issues (e.g., infertility, PCOS or PMDD) or men's health issues have left you feeling helpless? Yes, I see you. Regardless of the challenge, I am here to let you know that there is hope!

Are YOU feeling heard? My philosophy is rooted in Cheryl Richardson’s quote that “people start to heal the moment they feel heard” and my professional goal is to empower adults to move from “surviving to thriving" in a comfortable environment where they are safe to be themselves. Using a holistic, trauma-informed approach, I'm ready to help you acknowledge, navigate through and overcome negative patterns of thought and behavior that often lead to depression, anxiety, social isolation, generational trauma, people-pleasing behaviors, boundary issues and negative self-worth.

Do you feel like you’re not good enough? Do you question who you even are? Maybe past hurts keep you held back. Don’t know where to start or who you could even be outside of the trauma or hardships you’ve faced? These can be scary questions to ask yourself and scary memories to discuss. Good news is you’re not alone. I believe the only way out is through.

Together we foster open dialogue and create a supportive and secure healing environment.

You're no stranger to "working on yourself." At some point, though, all the practices and techniques you'd been using stopped being enough and just became one more thing on a mile-long to-do list. It seems like things were better at one point but you now feel like you've plateaued. You want to experience a deeper level of healing but you don't know how to get there. That's where I can help. I'm Jessica, and I help spiritually-minded people get unstuck, heal on a deeper level and live more authentic lives. Together, we'll move beyond trendy (and often bypassing) techniques and create lasting, more meaningful changes in your life.

My Treatment Mission is to provide cutting edge psychotherapy treatment services for individuals and families applying specializations in developmental psychology, relationship-based treatment, biological individual differences, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I deliver advanced methodologies, which are unique in Southwest Florida, for children 0-5 and for individuals of any age with what are often misunderstood neurodevelopment issues: including, but not limited to, issues of attachment, autism spectrum, mood disorders, and in utero toxic exposure. I also treat survivors of trauma, those seeking therapy for personal growth and help in working through challenging life events and relationships.

Welcome to my profile! I'm Vanna Winters, a compassionate and dedicated Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern with expertise in treating individuals who have experienced ptsd, developmental trauma, dissociation, and eating disorders. I am passionate about helping my clients heal, grow, and reclaim their sense of personal power after the effects of traumatic experiences. In my work with PTSD and eating disorders, I draw heavily from trauma-informed approaches, including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems. These modalities aim to address trauma's impact on the body, emotions, thoughts, and relationships.

It is an honor to hold someone's heart as they journey through healing and unfold into the individual they desire to be. Traumas, attachment trauma, and life challenges such as loss, depression and anxiety can leave us feeling empty, lost and wondering if life will ever improve. Finding the right prescription of modalities is vital for healing.
