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.

I work with adult individuals who are struggling with anxiety/depression, experiencing relationship challenges, and navigating major life transitions. I also specialize in the fields of trauma (childhood, military, sexual). I work collaboratively with clients to learn emotional regulation and boundary setting as well as how to heal from trauma. I believe healing happens in a place where you feel seen, understood, and supported without judgement. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and skills based. I believe in helping clients rebuild self-trust, gain clarity, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating. A client can expect a present, warm, caring, and educated therapist in our sessions. By coming to the table with your unique life experiences and struggles and with my professional experience and training, we can create a life that you envision.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
