Find a Therapist in Astatula, Florida.

Psychotherapy is designed to help you identify past issues that are currently effecting your life. Once you get to the root of the problem you can resolve it and move on in an emotionally healthy way. While this is an excellent option for some people, not all issues will require this form of intense long term work. So I recommend discussing your issues, goals, & options with your therapist to determine which approach will best meet your needs. If psychotherapy is needed I am happy to work with you for as long as it takes to reach your goal. For best results I also recommend meeting a potential therapist for a few sessions to make sure you feel comfortable and work well together.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.

Understanding how you view the world can carry immense benefits. I can help you learn how what happened to you may have negatively affected you, and how to understand how that has colored your viewpoint until now. By examining your own history, you can change your life in a positive way going forward. It's almost impossible to see yourself- let me hold up a mirror and help you understand yourself and your world better.

As a psychotherapist, my role is to help my clients gain confidence in their decision making power and begin to trust in themselves. I believe that therapy should be solution-focused and action oriented. Using a Cogntive Behavioral Approach, the goal is to assist clients with developing tools to empower themselves, strategies that they clearly understand and can implement to overcome the obstacles standing in their way of happiness.

James Hillman once said, "we've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we overassume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

My approach to therapy is not a quick fix or a band-aid approach. It is not self-help advice or executive coaching. It is a process of research-proven, emotional surgery that gets at the heart of your issues and heals them at their source. If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve conquered in the workplace and found success. And yet, you’re not at peace with your life. Whether it’s stress, trauma, addiction, strained relationships, or a lack of motivation, something needs to change. Often, my role is to help successful men get their hearts back. I can help you rediscover your purpose, reconnect with what matters, heal your insecurities, improve your relationships, and leave a legacy.

I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I employ a variety of approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, lifestyle changes, and psychoeducation to help people dealing with issues including attention issues, anxiety issues, relationship issues, family issues, depression and other mood issues, and trauma issues.

As licensed psychotherapists, we provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment for helping our clients to process emotions, traumas, and explore their personal experiences to gain insight and make progress toward their goals. Processing your experiences in psychotherapy has many benefits, including lessening undesirable symptoms, increasing positive emotions, improving outlook on life and helping you to understand yourself and your life better. We will utilize psychotherapy techniques tailored to your specific needs to assist you in getting closer to where you would like to be.

You know things seem off track yet can't seem to identify why. Things feel OFF! When we work together, we will gently learn the core of the distress that you are experiencing. As we learn your life history, we may find that some of the distress is rooted in early childhood trauma and attachment wounding. We will embrace and cherish all parts of yourself and learn about the challenging messages you may have grown up with that manifested into the distress you feel today. Distress can be a messenger, an alarm telling you that it is time to heal experiences from earlier in life. In our work together, we'll use EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy and Expressive Arts to help you thrive.

I believe that each client has a unique and sacred story. As a result, I also understand and appreciate the reality that psychotherapy cannot always be offered with one approach incorporated. Instead, I integrate a variety of approaches and modalities that work with one another to create an approach that is as unique as you while grounded in evidenced based practice and the latest research.

Many of us go through life with little reflection. Deciding to enter into "psychotherapy" is sometimes triggered by an emotional factor such as depression or anxiety but this is not a necessary prerequisite. I have found working with clients in psychotherapy very rewarding as it provides an opportunity for enormous personal growth as they explore who they have been, who they are now, and who they truly want to be. This process can be painful and sometimes clients wonder how long it will take to feel better and then 1 day they realize they are acting and feeling different than they did before. Let's explore what is and is not working and how you might need to expand to become who you are.

My approach will be tailored to your specific needs. Having 20 years of experience, I can use a variety of approaches to get to the root causes and get you on the road to healing.

Therapy is the process of learning how to understand yourself, your motivations, and your relationships. I use the analogy that a therapist helps you in bringing all of your boxes out of storage, spreading the contents on the table, and making sense of it all. Therapy is not advice giving, but an investigation into the nuts and bolts of your decision making. It is my goal to empower you throughout this process, and to help you reclaim your strengths that have been buried by the junk of life.
