Therapists serving clients in Lantana, FL

I am a licensed clinical social worker who has had extensive experience working with individuals, families and couples struggling with a variety of challenges. My workplace experience involved treating both those who have struggled themselves with addictions and eating disorders, but also many of the problems that accompany them such as anxiety and depression, relationship issues, parenting issues and family of origin issues. I have also worked with those family members who struggle to understand and help their loved ones dealing with with these issues. As such, I am well-versed not only in 12-step philosophy and program, but also in other approaches including therapeutic community settings, cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic therapies, motivational interviewing, structural family therapy and internal family systems therapy. I've also had significant experience with individuals who struggle with the effects of having grown up in families in which their needs were not well-met, and are looking to explore their experiences and make changes that will help them to move forward in a more positive way. Often these clients struggle with anxiety and depression, relationship issues and challenges with their own parents, spouses and children. As a "mature" woman, with family and experiences of my own, I believe strongly that blame and shame are destructive, and that self-understanding, self-acceptance (of past and present experiences and emotions) and healthy relationships are the key to overcoming the challenges and obstacles we face. I work with my clients in a supportive, interactive setting and aid them in establishing their goals, guiding them as they work toward achieving those desired outcomes. I approach my clients with admiration and respect, understanding the courage required to begin working with a counselor, and the necessity to take cues from my clients as to how quickly we move forward and what areas we explore. I believe that my clients actually best know themselves and what they need. With that said, I also know that it is my job to be reflective, challenging, honest and encouraging. I appreciate the opportunity to be invited into my clients' lives and to share in their progress.

Hello! I'm Janet Larsen Caldwell, a licensed mental health counselor in both New York and Florida and I am wondering: Have you ever scrutinized your relationships with your children or the connection between you and your significant other? Are you trying to balance work and home? Do problems exist with regards to peer pressure and social media? Do you blame yourself or have you ever had the feeling that maybe it's you, but would never reveal that? Your personality or cultural upbringing may be preventing you from the happiness you desire with the special people in your life! Instead of labeling your issues and behaviors, we can work with what you have. By making changes to accommodate your needs and relieve you of those unwanted feelings of anxiety, depression, stress and, perhaps, loneliness, you and your family will be on your way to increased happiness. Through BetterHelp I provide a safe and welcoming space to discuss issues you are tired of ruminating about. If you have reached out to your family and friends and they have not been helpful, it may be too uncomfortable for them, besides not having the answers you need. Together we can decide how to help you become the person you want to be and want others to see! As an LMHC, I have been licensed since 2009 working with OPWDD in New York State and have been in private practice since 2013. Having always had a desire to care for others, my first job was working for a family of four children throughout high school years and as a hospital volunteer. After studying nursing in college, I decided that the profession was not for me and and instead received a BA in Human Development from SUNY Empire State College. The mental health counseling MA degree was obtained in Counseling and Community Psychology from Sage Graduate School. In practice, I utilize multiple treatment modalities including person-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused therapy to those seeking suggestions on how to manage stress, mental health, career and family issues. Since every individual has her or his own personal narrative, together we will challenge your concerns with personalized treatment just for you. Additionally, I have post graduate training in couples and sex therapy with an interest in personality theories, as well as changing lifestyles with spirituality and enlightenment throughout the lifespan.

My name is Eric Lopez. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I studied psychology at the University of Florida and earned my Masters of Counseling Psychology from Trinity International University. I am client centered in my approach to therapy and believe empathy and understanding are key to the therapeutic relationship. Having over 15 years of counseling in the state of Florida, over the years I have worked with people suffering from depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, abuse, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, homelessness, and juvenile delinquency issues. The clients I have worked with have been between the ages of 5 and 85 from all races, ethnicities, cultures, backgrounds, political beliefs, and sexual orientations. The key to counseling and the client receiving true help, in my opinion, is having an open, empathetic, and trusting therapeutic relationship in which the client feels safe, heard and understood. With the client being the expert on their life, therapist and client together can bring clarity to thoughts, emotions, values, priorities, situations, and decisions. I integrate cognitive, behavioral, motivational interviewing, solution focused, existential and other approaches into counseling that is tailored to the client's needs and personality. Helping clients overcome problems and function at their best is my goal and honor. I hold a current License for Mental Health Counseling (LMHC) in the state of Florida.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience helping clients with substance addiction, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, OCD and related issues, parenting issues, educational issues, motivation, self-esteem, and self-confidence. I take an integrative, strength-based approach in helping adolescents and adults overcome difficult life events or psychological conditions and develop resilience. People with resilience cope with stress in a healthy way. The great news is resilience can be learned and strengthened with different strategies. I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior, as well as Adlerian Therapy, which is a brief, psychoeducational approach that is both humanistic and goal oriented, to help clients achieve wellness. I have a Masters in Counseling and a PhD in Counselor Education. I am a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor Supervisor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Supervisor. In addition to helping people, I instruct and supervise Masters level counselor trainees at a local university and assist them in becoming highly competent and compassionate therapists. Additionally, I have been active in physical fitness and wellness education for more than 30 years. I am a firm believer in the reciprocal and dynamic effects of the mind and body: your body is affected by the way you think, feel, and behave. When you are stressed, anxious, or upset, your body reacts physically. When you are physically or emotionally stressed, your body releases stress hormones that can affect all body systems and organs. For example, depression has the potential to decrease the natural ability of the body to heal. The use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, progressive muscle relaxation, and meditation encourage relaxation, improve coping skills, reduce tension and pain, and may decrease the need for medication. Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, once wrote, "The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well." My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. You have my unwavering support throughout your journey towards optimum mental health and increased overall well-being.
