Hello! Im glad you’re here! As a Certified Trauma Treatment Professional and a licensed therapist in both Florida and Illinois, I look forward to helping you navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, grief, and major life transitions. With over 20 years of experience, I am trained in ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) trained clinician, and hold the MCAP (Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional) credential. My style is warm, steady, and non-judgmental. I want therapy to feel like a safe place where you can be honest without fear of criticism or pressure. You don’t need to have everything figured out — you just need a space to breathe and someone who understands what it feels like to carry too much for too long. I use a trauma-informed, individualized approach that often includes CBT, solution-focused strategies, and mind-body techniques. With ART, I can help you process distressing memories and emotional triggers in a gentle, accelerated way that many clients find effective when they’ve felt stuck for years. know reaching out for support can feel intimidating, especially if you’re used to being the strong one. You deserve support, too. I’ll meet you with respect, compassion, and practical tools to help you feel more grounded and in control. Together, we’ll work toward healing and toward the life you want to build — at a pace that feels right for you. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here. I look forward to working with you.

I have more than 20 years treating trauma, early childhood issues, and relationship problems. I graduated with honors from New York University in Master of Social Work with concentration in Clinical Social Work. I am what they call "a seasoned therapist", with many years of experience providing psychotherapy while keeping up my knowledge and training in the latest evidenced based techniques and theories. I have an excellent success record and I hope you give the opportunity to work together in finding your path to peace, tranquility and success. I have assisted adolescents to find their way to succeed in school, socially and in the relationships with adults during the past 20 plus years of my professional life. A great part of my work with adolescents ( and adults) has been in trauma, loss and separation issues too. Trauma significantly hampers the chances of success and happiness at personal, emotional, and economic levels. Trauma has been linked to serious mental and physical illnesses making its treatment a priority.

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.

Hi! My name is Tammy. I am a licensed mental health therapist in Florida (US) with a positive and hopeful outlook! I have over 20 years of counseling experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, social behavior, and crisis counseling. As well as trauma related issues, sexuality and work related concerns. I have a sense of humor and maintain a hope for the future. It is an honor to work with another person, to gain their trust and help them figure out what's going well, what is causing concern or distress, and to help them find small steps toward a resolution and personal growth. The first few sessions start out with a person-centered therapy approach. However, the information collected in the first few sessions may lead to a better suited theory. I feel that issues like depression or anxiety can be helped with cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT has also been great when working with adolescents who struggle with aggression and conduct disorders. I find dialectical behavior therapy techniques to be useful in a counseling setting as well. My counseling style and approach really depends on the client and what best fits the situation. Person-centered therapy, CBT, and DBT have been my main approach and style. My clients typically meet with me once weekly for 45 minutes. We begin by building rapport and learning about the issues that brought them to seek counseling. It is important to establish a trusting, ethical, therapeutic relationship by form of congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathy in the beginning. Sometimes a person-centered approach leads the client to discover the answers for themselves. My counseling style is primarily Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Brief Solution Focused Therapy so we can develop a plan to help you feel better as soon as possible. Most of the time you will have "homework", which will allow you to identify core beliefs and change the way you feel. We can do short extra sessions during the week, especially during your first month or two, to be sure you have a good foundation for getting your goals met. Whether you are seeking change for a healthier happier life, or just need a non judgmental ear to listen, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! Getting to know yourself, take good care of yourself and live well day to day creates more of an ease in life, and affords you time and a place to resolve deeper issues or past trauma.

Hello, in an effort to introduce myself, I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I became involved in counseling because my husband was a Vietnam veteran that suffered from chronic PTSD and unfortunately Agent Orange. Initially, I wanted to only work with veterans' administration but there were other opportunities in life for me. I have worked in the prison system here in Florida, I have also worked at a community counseling centers and I have also had the pleasure to work with children, most of which were in the DCF program. Children are incredibly resilient. I have worked with clients that have suffered from depression, anxiety, anger management, abandonment issues, ADHD, and trauma. Counselling for me is a way to help people reconnect to who they are, encourage faith, compassion and sensitivity and respect for who they are. I work to develop an empathetic working relationship based on trust. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help and change is hard, but incredible rewarding. Reach out and take the first step. I look forward to hearing from you!
