Find a Therapist in Gulfport, Florida.

I’ve been working as a mental health professional for over 30 years. I've had extensive training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Psychodrama, Trauma Resolution Therapy and Couples/Relationship Therapy. My approach with all of my clients is individualized, personable and confidential. I use the best approaches and techniques depending on the client’s presenting issues, unique personality, needs, history and diagnosis. My goal is to help clients better cope with the presenting problems, as well as develop the skill-sets for long term and permanent recovery.

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.

Life presents an array of stresses, situations, and challenges within relationships that can be overwhelming. Adapting to new circumstances disrupts our sense of normalcy. With almost four decades of experience, Dr. Petit has provided invaluable therapy and life coaching, particularly focusing on nurturing loving relationships. Feelings of anxiety, disappointment, and anger can intensify due to painful past experiences, including hurtful abuses and betrayals. This leaves life feeling bewildering and burdensome. My approach fosters growth and healing by acknowledging the past, present, and future within a secure environment, guiding you toward a well-lived life.

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.

Are you uncertain as to what kind of therapy you want? Not sure as to what sort of therapist will help you the most? I can help you answer these questions. As a highly trained clinical psychologist, I am here to help you find the help you need.

I have over 13 years of experience working with clients from all walks of life, with a variety of issues. I am proud to provide psychotherapy and take joy in watching my clients grow and change throughout the course of treatment. I take a very personalized approach to each client that I work with. I will meet with you to assess your personal strengths and needs as you go through the process of treatment.

I have spent many years providing individual psychotherapy. Out of all those years of experience, I have developed a skill set focused on quickly getting to the heart of the issues. I complete a thorough family system assessment looking for root causes of issues and am especially observant for any recurring themes in an individual's life that may be interfering with success. I ask the right questions to get the answers that are within you. Hopefully, you will experience self awareness, revelations, and "ah-hah" moments that will set you free from lifelong issues with low self esteem, fear, and everything holding yo back.

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.

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.

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 over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same.
