Hello, and welcome to my virtual office! I would first like to acknowledge your strength and courage in taking this step toward making your mental health and wellness a priority. To tell you a bit about my background, I am a licensed therapist in FL, MA, OR, and WA with over 10 years experience working with a variety of populations as I have strived to assist clients on their journey toward hope, growth, and healing. I am also well-versed in providing teletherapy services,. I would describe my style as laid back and conversational in nature. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership, in which the therapeutic alliance sets the foundation for successful outcomes. As an integrated therapist, I reject a “one size fits all” approach. I draw from various modalities as necessitated by the presenting issue, and believe that techniques should be tailored to individualized needs. I seek to minimize “labeling,” and strive to make a genuine human connection with clients as they share their unique worldview and experiences. Ultimately, I believe it is the client who is the expert of his or her own life. It is my goal to provide an empathetic space where clients feel safe and empowered to be their authentic selves and live in their truth. I look forward to working with you, and believe that together, we can foster positive change in your life.

I have been a practicing social worker for more than 30 years . Much of this experience has been working in a large public teaching hospital in Miami, Florida. The scope of service that the hospital provides is quite comprehensive which afforded me opportunities to work with a very diverse population . i have counseled patients and their families dealing with a variety of illnesses, both physical and mental health, survivors of sexual assault, and also providing counseling to patients in a correctional setting. I like challenging situations. My style of counseling is very eclectic, depends on the client and their unique set of problems. This can range from client centered, solution oriented or cognitive behavioral as many people are coming to therapy to learn new ways of thinking and alternative coping strategies. given some of the events of the past year, many people are experiencing additional stressors, particularly the LGBTQ community and am very interested in providing services to this population. I am looking forward to learning along with you.

My name is Wade Arnold. I earned an MS in Counselor Education from Mississippi State University, an MDiv in Theology from Baylor University, and a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Florida. I have served as a staff psychologist and professor at several universities and I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the State of Florida. I work with individuals and couples who are seeking help with relationship concerns—especially patterns of conflict, emotional distance, communication breakdowns, trust issues, and season-of-life transitions. Many of the people I serve feel stuck in cycles they don’t fully understand and want more than surface-level tools; they want clarity, depth, and real change. My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in both sound psychology and a Christian worldview. I work best with clients who share—or are genuinely open to—Christian beliefs and values. Faith is not an add-on in my work; it shapes how I understand people, relationships, responsibility, healing, and hope. Spiritual integration is handled thoughtfully and respectfully, never forced, but never sidelined. I believe the first session should be understood as a discernment process for both of us. It’s a time to clarify what you’re hoping for, how I work, and whether we are a good fit for one another. Therapy is most effective when there is shared understanding, trust, and alignment in goals and values. If I don’t sense that I’m the right therapist to help you move toward your goals, I will be honest with you and encourage you to find someone who may be a better fit. My priority is your care, not simply continuing sessions. My style is collaborative and practical. I focus on helping you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, make sense of emotional and relational patterns, and move toward healthier, more intentional ways of relating. I strive to offer a space that is thoughtful, respectful, and hopeful—one where truth and compassion work together. If you’re looking for a therapist who will engage you seriously, speak plainly, honor your faith, and help you discern a wise path forward, we may be a good fit to explore working together. I am currently accepting clients Monday through Thursday from 1:00 to 4:00 PM EST.
