Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and work with couples and individuals on improving their relationships and quality of life, and therapists on managing a number of experiences that come up through their work. I offer free, 15 minute phone consultations. Starting September 1, 2023 I will be accepting insurance. Currently I accept out-of-network insurance benefits that will support the cost of services. We can verify these benefits prior to the start of services, as many clients have out-of-network benefits and are not aware of it. Thrizer is my payment platform that verifies your insurance benefits and automatically processes claims for you so you can get the most of the session cost reimbursed quickly and for free.

 My practice name (The Door’s Open Therapy) reflects my approach to counseling: welcoming, open and judgment free in supporting individuals to overcome the barriers that prevent them from living fully and authentically. I specialize in the LGBTQIA+ community, but work with most mental health concerns. 

Hello! My name is Acanthus and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Since 2013, I've worked with emerging adults, adults, and older adults through a trauma-informed lens to heal wounds, jump over roadblocks, and foster resilience. I use a collaborative approach, pulling from psychodynamic theories, CBT, and relational therapy to help meld the bridge between where you are and where you want to be.

Holistic, mindfulness-based psychotherapy

Often, habits, thoughts, and substances that once made us feel safe and reduced our suffering become problematic. Reducing or eliminating behaviors and substances that no longer serve us is necessary to improve our quality of life. Making these changes and navigating recovery can be challenging. Together, we can work to decrease the need for substances and behaviors that interfere with your growth, relationships, and overall satisfaction with life. I provide compassionate recovery support that enables you to draw from your own inner strength and wisdom. Your peace and healing are the focus of my practice.

Hello! I am client-centered in my approach, and I believe that treatment should be tailored to the individual client's needs, strengths, and goals. I have training in multiple theoretical approaches, and am dedicated to helping clients heal from past traumas, rebuild their confidence and self-worth, and find meaning in their lives. I believe that although seeking therapeutic help can be intimidating, when we work together to create meaningful change, we can achieve increased life satisfaction and happiness. My specialties include complex trauma, depression, personality disorders, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, addictions, and women’s issues. Clients describe me as easy to talk to, gently confrontational, and friendly. I strive to follow my clients' needs while pointing out patterns and themes that I see from a "bird's eye view".

I have specialized experience working with culturally diverse adults struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, shame, and relationship difficulties.
