Hello! My name is Adrienne Van Es and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida with over six years experience providing therapy services. I am a true Floridian born and raised and completed both my bachelors and masters degrees at the University of Central Florida. I enjoy working with all ages and specialize in helping those working through depression, stress and anxiety, trauma, adjusting to changes in life and ADHD.
My approach to therapy is based on meeting each individual client's needs. I believe in working with a client centered approach, understanding the client is the expert on their lives and applying a unique treatment plan to reach each of their goals. I help through psycho-education, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and various trauma therapies such as EMDR.
Taking the first step starting therapy can be scary. Even as a therapist, when I started looking for therapy for myself, I became shy, a little nervous and worried what I should or shouldn't say (even with knowing I hold no judgements or negative thoughts towards any client)! I personally know the courage it has taken to get this far and acknowledge the motivation to pursue self care for yourself. I would be honored to be a part of the process along with you. I encourage any and all questions, concerns and/or thoughts about myself, my practice and what I can do for you so please don't hesitate to be in touch!
In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, adventure racing, creating music, anything involving the beach and/or ocean and spending time with friends, family and my dog.

She’s been so wonderful, and definitely someone I feel comfortable around. But, in my opinion, most importantly she has been understanding while also assertive, considerate but willing to question, and that’s exactly what I need. I’m very, very happy with her and I’m very much looking forward to continuing with her.

She has helped me more than I would ever have imagined. I was weary on starting therapy but glad I did. Not only does she truly listen and offer feedback, her methods for helping me understand and move forward have me in a much better place. I could not recommend her more to others looking to start.

Felt a real connection and she felt very knowledgeable.

Adrienne is incredibly understanding, welcoming and warmingly disarming. Entirely professional, but easily able to set a casual and comfortable setting to be open and vulnerable.
She gives great insight and advice and resources to the specific issues at hand, and is wonderfully accepting every step of the way.

I was really struggling with the idea of starting with a new therapist after mine moved. She made me feel so hopeful and I am excited to continue with her.

Adrienne is simply incredible. She is responsive, attentive, and inquisitive in all the right ways. I've been a better version of myself since meeting her. Highly recommend!
