Find A Psychologist in Avon Park, FL.

You may wonder whether you want to see a psychotherapist or a psychologist. Psychotherapists engage in “talk therapy” to help individuals improve the quality of life, but there is no unifying standard for those called “psychotherapists”. Psychologists are trained in the science of psychology. They are licensed mental health professionals at the doctoral level and have five to seven years or move of college as well as supervised internships. They are able to evaluate, diagnose and treat mental health disorders. Regardless of the reason you see therapy, the primary benefit is learning to think, act and feel in ways that lead to improved relationships and a better quality of life.

There are masters degree therapists (LMHC, LMSW, LMFT) but few actual DOCTORS of psychology. I graduated magna cum laude from Rollins College with degrees in Philosophy and Psychology. I have a Master's Degree & a Doctorate Degree in Psychology. I have been invited to speak at Harvard Faculty Club multiple times. I am also a trauma certified. I think it is important to understand the different qualifications, so you can make an informed choice regarding your treatment and all available options. I take my job very seriously, and I wanted to make sure I had the highest qualifications to ensure the safety and wellbeing of my clients. I have worked in multiple settings and in a locked Baker Act receiving facility. Please call for a free consult to assess your situation.
