I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, licensed in Florida with over 30 years of experience working as a counselor. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology at Binghamton University and my Master's in Clinical Practices from the University of Hartford in Connecticut. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety reduction, treatment of panic attacks, relationship issues, parenting problems, stress management, decision paralysis and self-esteem issues.
My therapy style is nonjudgmental and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and I am DBT informed. I have received the first level of training in EMDR and am pursuing full certification . I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you to take control of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to improve your mental and emotional well-being.
I look forward to working with you!

The real deal. She is legit. If you're really looking to do the work and take responsibility for your life, she is the therapist for you! I wanted someone to hold me accountable, be extremely honest and take our sessions seriously. She's always on time, delivers full and thorough sessions, responds to messages and provides actual tips and guidance. Most counselors just listen, Helen will listen and also push you through the negativity to reach the positivity.
