How do you work with clients with depression?

Hi and thanks for taking a look at my profile. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially since most of us are doing so during a time of stress or crisis. My approach to therapy is very relational and experiential. I believe that healing and transformation can happen only in the context of a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. It's a huge step to reach out to a therapist for help. I hope I can make it as easy as possible for you and look forward to talking further to see if we're a good therapy match. I have been in practice for over 25 years and work primarily with adults (ages 18+) struggling with a variety of life issues. Relationships, career, divorce, stress management, family issues and general challenges with life transitions are some of the things that bring my clients into therapy. I work individually, as well as with couples and groups.

Hi! Thanks for checking out my page. Considering a new therapist can be overwhelming, so let me tell you a little about myself: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Intern which means I am qualified to provide therapy in the state of Florida. I am a wife and mom of boys, and my great privilege in life is to listen to other people's stories and support them in their personal growth through a relational and collaborative approach to therapy. A trusting therapeutic relationship can make or break your therapy experience. I do not subscribe to any one type of therapeutic modality because everyone is different and has unique needs! That being said, some conditions show improved responses with particular interventions; if I feel like I cannot provide the particular type of therapeutic intervention you need I will be up-front and honest about that, and willing to help you find another suitable therapist. I currently only offer telehealth to Florida residents and do not accept any insurance. If you cannot afford my rate I may be able to accommodate you on a sliding scale that is .01% of your income. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation if you would like more information about me or this process. Take good care.

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been working in this field for over 20 years. I have worked with children and families, adolescents, groups, and adults suffering from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, stress, life changes, self-esteem issues, and an array of mental, emotional and relational concerns. My therapeutic approach comes mainly from Jungian Psychology and somatic experience, although I am also eclectic and borrow from other approaches depending on the client's unique needs. I offer a safe, warm, and compassionate approach in my work with individuals. I will meet you where you are, and support you as you transform not only externally but most importantly internally. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have and/or to determine if we are a good fit.

I’m so glad you are here! My personal philosophy around therapy is that it is a tool used to help you on your journey until you are ready to let go of the helping hand and navigate your world using the coping skills, tools and resources you gained in therapy. Allow me to help you navigate through this confusing time and help you regain your confidence in yourself. As your therapist I can guide you towards improving your mood and relationships as well as strengthening your copings skills and problem solving abilities so that what once felt unmanageable is now manageable. Give me a call for a free 15 minute consultation to see if I’m the right therapist for you!

Scott strives to be person-centered yet solution-focused in his approach. He counsels from a relational counseling model, holding to the core belief that an individual cannot heal or grow outside the context of meaningful relationships. Scott believes each person has a unique and sacred story justifying that treatment plans should be genuinely crafted with the client in mind. He has a gift for creating a safe place for people to process their pain and bond with his clients in meaningful ways. Scott subscribes to an eclectic, integrated approach customized to your unique story incorporating elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Adlerian theory, Narrative techniques, solution-focused results, and existential principles. He seeks to partner with every patient in their healing process - mutually collaborative and committed to the process. Scott considers the counseling relationship to be sacred and not one to be taken lightly. It takes much courage to step into counseling, whether it’s your first time or the first time in a while. In meeting with a new counselor, clients often secretly hope that this relationship works out so they don’t have to start over or walk away from therapy. This truth is something Scott understands and values. Whatever brings you into counseling, Scott aims to cultivate a grace-filled environment where you will be met without judgment. Scott specializes in working with clergy, healthcare professionals, first responders, educators, and military personnel. Issues he treats include Anxiety, Coping Issues, Chronic Illness and Conditions, Depression, Family Conflict, Moral Injury, Compassion Fatigue / Burnout, Peer Relationships, Relationship Issues, Self Esteem, Stress, Caregiver Stress, and vicarious trauma.
