I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida and owner of ALW Counseling and Coaching. I provide flexible, person-centered therapy that helps individuals realize their ability to change and overcome their challenges. If you are coping with depression, anxiety, addiction/substance abuse, or trauma I am here to help. Therapy should be effective, uplifting, and person centered. My counseling approach combines traditional therapy techniques with a practical, problem-solving approach that assists you in seeking the inner strength needed to reach your goals. I work with adults 18 and older.
In addition to traditional therapy I am trained in Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR). TIR can help individuals with post traumatic stress reduce the physical and psychological impact of trauma in just a few sessions. My other specialties include substance abuse, older adults/caregivers, coping with health/disability concerns, college age and young adults.
I work with individuals and couples. Limited insurances accepted. If I am "out of network" I can help you use any available OON benefits. Hours by appointment. Some evening hours available. I can also recommend one of the associates at my practice or community colleagues if we are not a fit or my availability is limited. I look forward to hearing from you.
