Find a Therapist in Westgate, 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.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

When clients graduate from treatment, they take with them a box full of "tools", such as effective anger management techniques, avoiding confrontations that lead to negative expressions of anger, resolving conflict peacefully and quietly, making the right decisions in every aspect of life, and perseverance to always build skills against life's problems and apply them consistently.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative journey where we work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or life transitions, my goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, and achieve meaningful change for a more fulfilling life.

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.

At Renew Center of Florida, we believe in a personalized approach to psychotherapy that integrates various Eastern and Western disciplines to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual and their family.

We understand that simply knowing these models is not sufficient; it's essential for psychotherapists to discern when and how to apply these techniques effectively, akin to a painter selecting the right tools to create a masterpiece.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in the belief that the relationship between therapist and client is the most important component to a successful therapeutic outcome. Therefore, I spend time building a personal connection with my clients, in order to help them to feel comfortable exploring the deep intimate details of their lives. I work with them to uncover patterns in their lives and build insight from these patterns. We also collaborate together to identify the right set of coping skills to help them to manage the ups and downs of their lives.

With a Master’s degree in counseling, I’m trained to treat a wide variety of common mental health issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief, and relationship issues.

Are you stuck? Do you feel like you are not living the life you always wanted? Is fear controlling your choices? Are you burdened by past experiences? In sessions we will identify what is holding you back and limiting your freedom; Worried about disappointing important others? Concerned about failing? Believing you are not good enough? Once we recognize the obstacles preventing you from living life according to your goals and values, we can start working on each of them, exploring its function in your life and the reasons it has such a strong hold of you for so long. We can then come up with ways for you to keep what you need and let go of the burdens, so you can move forward in your 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.

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.

Unlike traditional therapists, clients of Delray Holistic Therapy need just 2 to 4 sessions, on average, and never more than seven. Ther reason? Using cutting-edge solution focused brief therapy, we spend nearly all our time creating solutions, rather than analyzing problems. One hour of solution-talk is easily worth 20 hours of problem talk. Not only does this save a great deal of time and money, but also it empowers people to leave after a session feeling hopeful and optimistic.

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.
