Therapists in Florida

Hello, my name is Takiyah Thomas Licensed Mental Health Counselor LMHC based in Florida with 4 years of experience. I want to start affirming you by saying "You are improving your mental health symptoms every day." I'm stating this because you made the healthy choice to seek therapy.

My ideal client is someone who enters therapy with an open heart, ready to delve into their inner world and unpack their boxes. They come to each session as their true selves, even if they deem their thoughts and emotions complex or challenging. They embrace that therapy is a collaborative journey and are committed to putting in the effort for positive change. Through a blend of mindfulness, firm compassion, honesty, and a shared dedication to growth, we can cultivate an environment where healing and personal development occur organically.

Are you an individual trying to figure out where you are going in life but your past keeps holding you back? Are you a parent who has lost themselves in the identity of your child and you have no idea who you are? Are you a couple that has lost a connection you once had or have you lost your own individuality within the relationship? Are you an adolescent comparing yourself to the next latest trend that you now feel inadequate? Are you an individual who is now in recovery and you feel no one in your immediate support group understands you? You feel alone on this island and all you want is for someone to hear, validate, support you.

Is your child or teen struggling with anxiety? Have they experienced something difficult? Are you unsure how to support them? As a licensed clinical social worker, I provide therapy services in both Spanish and English, specializing in working with children and adolescents.

Are you struggling with emptiness, sadness, or constant worry? Do you feel controlled by anxiety or difficult events from the past? Do you use up all your energy to trudge through life, barely managing what needs to be done? If you have experienced trauma, you may feel hopeless about the future and haunted by the past. Are you in search of a supportive and caring healing process? If you or someone you love is feeling lost, broken, or depleted, I can help. If you are struggling to move forward, there is hope to overcome barriers and live a healthier, happier life.

If you are looking for a caring,understanding, and effective therapist who will help you realize your best self, you have found her. Working together, you and I will come to understand where you are, what brought you here, and how to see yourself in a healthy light. As a result, you will find yourself more empowered and fulfilled in all relationships in your life.

My name is Lissette Collazo Maza a license clinician in the state of Florida and I am here to help. I have more than 20 years of experience providing mental health services to adults and adolescents. I strive to ensure my clients receive the help they need and create a path for them to reach their full potential.

YOUNG ADULTS, TEENS, & CHILDREN. I specialize in treating anxiety, relationship difficulties, family changes, trauma, low self-esteem, anger, and navigating early adulthood. When the challenges are growing, it's time to seek help. Get what you need and deserve - I will support you every step of the way.

I focus on topics related to relationships, sexuality, emotions, communication, and changing behaviors. I support clients who want to understand themselves and why they do the things they do, strengthen their relationships, communicate better, manage their emotions, create or break habits, and/or have more pleasure in their sex life. From communication dynamics to exploring kink/BDSM, I use a conversational style and offer resources based on your goals. Whether your goals are relational or personal, I am here to support you!

Do you feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious or have limitations in your ability to function presently? With 33 years of clinical experience, I have a significant number of skills and methods to help. Not everyone benefits fully from only one or even two therapy methods. I tailor my skills and interventions to each person depending on their needs, problems and comfort.

Are there any deep disappointments lingering within you? Do you feel alone, unlovable or misunderstood? Are you struggling with your child, spouse or any other relationship? Life issues and disappointments are heavy burdens to bear alone. Thoughts and feelings of unworthiness and/or rejection were never meant for you. And, it takes a village to grow a family. These life-matters were meant to be lived with others, disappointments were meant to be shared, and not good enough feelings were meant to be challenged. Would you consider help? Would you let me be that person for you, your child or adolescent in this season?

My ideal client is someone who is going to put in the effort to receive the result they would like. I have experience working with a wide range of clients from individuals, couples, children, and families. The skills I use for counseling will usually vary because different things will work for different people. The main thing I like to do is meet you where you are at and supply the help that will increase your growth.

Accepting new clients! It is my goal to help people reach their goals and score those internal 'touchdowns' in life. Let me help you get back in the game! Traditionally, I have a background in business, sales, and coaching. However, after success in that career, I decided to switch things up and pursue my true passion! I have always volunteered and provided my version of social work to the community because I was that kid who needed that help growing up. I love talking and listening to people, so I went back to school to do just that!

Do you feel overwhelmed? Have you lost trust in your intuition? Do you suspect you have trauma but aren't sure where to begin? Mental and emotional challenges can leave us feeling lost and hopeless. I have been there, and it can be a scary place to be. Thankfully it can all get better with the right support. There is hope. I am an IFS practitioner and trauma-informed coach working virtually with adult indivudual clients who are struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression, life changes, and various forms of trauma. My approach is compassionate and trauma-informed. I can help you heal and reconnect with your true self again.

Sometimes we find ourselves making a call; that makes the difference. Hearing ourselves talk about what is happening to us relieves us, and brings us closer to understanding a difficulty; What used to cost us a little effort now becomes impossible. Without being able to describe exactly what it is, it appears invisible to our eyes, it begins to distance us little by little from what we enjoy, it distances us more and more from what we want to achieve. What we do is not enough to overcome it, it is not relieved, it persists, it does not disappear. Faced with the question how to feel better? This is the proposal, come see me.

I specialize in helping professional and retired adults navigate challenges that test the most resilient among us. How to heal from trauma and loss, keep living after major illness, cope with big uncertainties, and love more fully are common therapy goals.
