Find a Therapist in Pahokee, Florida.

Freud is the father of psychotherapy. However, many things have changed since his day and many of his theories are no longer practiced in therapy. One thing we believe at Gateway that is still true is that the past does often affect the present of people. The past need not define us in the present or determine our future. But it can give us awareness as to why we both do and react to some things now. We work on what we call here the back end and the front end issues to change the things in the present the client wants to change. This tends to result in more permanent behavior change.

As a highly trained clinical psychologist, I am here to help you find the help you need. And whether our work is short or long term, together we can bring you that much closer to the support you deserve.

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.

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. 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 education and training in many therapeutic modalities, as well as teaching and training other therapists, allows me to individualize your psychotherapy. Together we address the presenting problems and challenges with the goal of understanding how things got to be as they are, capitalizing on your strengths and learning how to cope with your vulnerabilities for the maximum capacity for healthy and happy love, work and play.

I use a blended form of psychotherapy with my clients. I have clients who started treatment for one specific issue, primarily, substance use and then during the session things from their childhood start unfolding and a connection is made on how the adverse childhood experiences play a role in their current thinking pattern, decision making and results they get because of how they look at the world. Psychotherapy helps my clients freely explore "hidden" feelings that have been buried deep down inside, and which affects them subconsciously.

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.
