Mind and Body Therapy, LLC

Individual counseling sessions are generally 55 minutes in length. I tailor our work together in counseling to fit your needs and your personality. This may include a combination of motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, yoga therapy and emotional freedom technique (an exciting mind/body technique often referred to as “emotional acupuncture”) .

Individual counseling can be provided for older children (age 10+) , adolescents, and, of course, adults. I have many years of experience working with teenagers, and they are truly my passion. The mind/body techniques I use are especially helpful with this age group, particularly if they feel that mom or dad is “making” them go to counseling, because they get involved in the activities and often overcome that resistance very quickly, forgetting that that are actually doing counseling. It is my passion to provide a safe space for teenagers (as well as adults) to voice, and work on, their issues and concerns.

If so, you are not alone. You are one of the millions of Americans struggling with anxiety. Treating anxiety and trauma-related issues is my specialty. I can help you to work through the fear and trauma so that you can let go of the constant worrying, relax, and achieve peace of mind. Events that happen to us in our lives don't cause us to feel badly; it's the way our minds and bodies respond to those events that lead us to feel badly. The good news about that is that we can work to change the way your mind and body respond to events, thus improving the way you feel.

Counseling (this term is interchangeable with therapy and psychotherapy) is a great tool for helping you make the changes you want in your life. My approach to counseling is holistic, because I believe that addressing both mind and body in therapy facilitates greater positive change in you.

EFT falls under the category of energy psychology, which refers to a variety of holistic treatment techniques, all of which are based upon the premise that many of the negative emotions we experience in life (stress, anxiety, depression, sadness) are due, at least in part, to disruptions or blockages of energy within the body, and if we can "unblock" the balance to the energy within our bodies, we can achieve healing.

Registered Mental Health Counseling Interns in the state of Florida are required to complete work for 2 years under weekly clinical supervision prior to becoming eligible for licensure. The state requires that the supervision be provided by a Florida board-approved qualified supervisor. I am such a qualified supervisor, and I can provide affordable supervision rates to help new counselors achieve their professional goals. I am committed to helping new counselors to obtain the required supervision toward licensure without breaking their wallets.
