Therapists serving clients in Celebration, FL

I am licensed in the states of Florida and Pennsylvania. To see my other certifications, please refer to my bio. I live in Florida and have over 25+ years of experience in both the mental health and the medical professions. I have worked in private practice as well as hospital and outpatient settings over the years and have experience with depression, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, career related issues, medical and chronic pain issues, eating disorders and addictions. I have not met a client that I haven't enjoyed working with. My career goal has always been to be a therapist-it's just who I am. I am comfortable utilizing many different approaches depending upon the individual and their presenting issue. Some of those include: Cognitive Behavioral; Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT); Humanistic; Psychodynamic: Behavioral; Solution-Focused or Brief therapy; or Trauma based to name, but a few. The most important thing for me though, is to gain your trust. If you aren't comfortable talking with me and don't feel like I understand you, it doesn't matter what approach I use or what credentials I have, it's not going to work for you. So, the main thing I do in the beginning is to take a little time to build trust between us so you feel that this is a safe space. I am very open and honest and I strongly encourage that with everyone I work with. All feedback is welcome. That is important to me. In my spare time, I'm an artist and I paint when I find time. I do local art shows and commission work. I've taught art in the local elementary school for their special projects during the years. And in a previous life, I've been a musician and have taught music lessons both privately as well as in middle school. I write a mental health blog that you can look up at www.themoodswing.blog and get either information or some humor depending on the subject and my mood when I'm writing. I have been rather absent from it for awhile due to life's ups and downs, but I hope to return soon. I look forward to meeting you and working together to find a solution that is helpful for you.

Welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Madeline Berry and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been providing therapy for wide variety of issues and populations for approximately 5 years. I graduated from New York University in 2014 with a Master's in Social Work, and I also hold a Master's in Experimental Psychology from St. John's University. At the beginning of my career, I worked for a NYC hospital system providing mental health support and therapy to adults, families, women, and teenagers. I worked mostly in the Maternal Child Health Department of the hospital, providing therapy and support to women who were pregnant, post-partum, families who had babies in the NICU, etc; however, often assisted in pediatrics, the general medical unit, and the emergency department. For the last two years, I have worked in a primary care clinic, providing short-term counseling to adults who struggle with, but not limited to stress, depression, anxiety, chronic medical conditions, new medical diagnosis', etc. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, I have had the opportunity to provide adults with mental health support and counseling virtually, and also hosted a virtual support group for those struggling with the effects of the pandemic. I would describe my approach as collaborative, goal-oriented, and client-centered. I use a wide-variety of therapeutic methods and modules, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Problem-solving Therapy to meet the client where they are, and to also provide them with the tools and coping skills that work best for them. I believe that therapy is a team approach, between a therapist and their client, to help the client reach their goals and develop healthier skills, tools, and habits. Reaching out for help can be scary and leave us feeling vulnerable. I hope to help you feel comfortable, and confident to work toward your goals, as well as feel supported through the process. I look forward to working with you!

**Seeing FLORIDA RESIDENTS ONLY at this time** Bringing yourself to the point of asking for assistance can be difficult. Discrete, confidential help is just a phone call or email away. Helping you achieve the quality of life you seek is my priority. I provide psychotherapy in the State of Florida, in a safe, professional, online setting. Specialized focus: military/law enforcement/first responders and their families. As a retired law enforcement officer and US Army veteran I have extensive first-hand experience in dealing with trauma, grief, loss, and related family distress.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida and an IAPO Certified Life Coach who has been providing individual counseling & coaching services for over 10 years. I received my Masters in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University. I have experience working with a variety of issues but have specialized in working with clients struggling with addiction, anxiety and depression. More specifically, I have experience working with clients dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, relationship issues and those who are going through life changes. I also enjoy teaching life and coping skills, boundary setting and engaging in health and life coaching. Working from a foundation of person-centered therapy, I may also use cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and reality therapy depending on the right fit for you. I believe no two clients are alike and that developing rapport and trust with each client must be a top priority. I always strive to create a safe space for you to explore who you are, your varying experiences in life, where you are and where you’d like to be, and what you would like to become or experience. I do this by providing a non-judgmental, respectful, calm, stable, and positive atmosphere as your counselor. Thank you for taking the time to read a little about me and most importantly, thank you for taking the first step! It can be difficult to take care of ourselves even when everything is going great, reaching out when things are hard is a big step.

Hello, I am a Counseling Psychologist that has been working since 2001 with a variety of clients dealing with Depression, Anxiety, Panic, Sleep Disorders, ADHD, Moderate to Severe Mental Illness, and Substance Abuse. I am also a college professor and have taught at several different colleges and universities since 2008. My published research is in the use of Motivational Interviewing with college students to improve their persistence and GPA. As a Counseling Psychologist, I don’t focus so much on a diagnosis, as much as how the problem is affecting the client. I view clients with a perspective that we all have times when things don’t go so well, and that we all have strengths that help us overcome. My job is often to identify those strengths and how to incorporate them in a way that allows the client to overcome current issues. I try to adapt to the client's needs, for example: in some situations, I can be very direct, or I can elicit insight through a series of questions. I try to utilize the family to help create a cohesive support unit, creating an effective environment to support the client as they accomplish their goals. Counseling models utilized: Cognitive-Behavioral, Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Humanistic, and Systems. Something important I utilize in therapy, but is not a model, is respect. If a client respects themselves and others, there is pretty much no door they can't open. Through my years of practice, and working with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds, I often find respect can fix many issues we have. Thank you for your time, I look forward to helping you on this journey.

Life is not easy. We have all been through at least one event that affected us in a way where it follows us and finds ways to get our attention. For a lot of us this may be depression and anxiety. Lack of a sense of identity. Trying to survive in a world where we are told to live and think a certain way. But at the end of the day, we are all different; built with our own unique energetic and genetic blueprint. So how in any way can each of us follow the same path, the same way of living? My specific focus is working with individuals to break down walls. Understand how past events might be affecting them today in their relationship dynamics, their career, why they make the choices they make. Setting a path to find themselves and be the best versions of themselves. This might involve tapping into their creativity and not being afraid to dream. I highly encourage using one's imagination. A lot of those whom struggle with depression and anxiety have nervous systems that are in constant survival and are not even aware of that. I work with clients on finding modalities to help them break out of survival mode and feel safe in their daily lives. My approach is more holistic: mind/body/spirit. My preferred practice is spiritually based, but I am happy to work with those whom do not prefer that approach. Ultimately, I'm here to guide those looking for their true selves! At this time I am only assisting those seeking individual therapy. I do not provide couples counseling. I look forward to speaking with you!
