I want to help you create new healthy connections in your mind and in your life. Happiness is created through moments in the present, not planned for in the future. I specialize in diagnosis and treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, and anxiety. I can help you/your child to improve in social interaction and managing fears/frustration through a combination of proper evaluation, therapy and biofeedback treatment. Biofeedback can help anyone to learn to manage their stress effectively and improve their overall well-being. My schedule is flexible, including evenings and weekends. Please give me a call today for your free 30-minute consultation! (Note*: Consultations are only 30 minutes long and must be requested when scheduling).
Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life, by applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques,
I am a Florida licensed Psychologist with over 40 years experience. I offer a solution focused approach to achieve emotional wellness. I am a bi-lingual (Spanish/English) therapist working with teens and adults, families and couples. My practice also includes psychological and neuropsychological evaluations.
When faced with overwhelming issues, you need an expert who understands the complexity of the situation and who can help you sort through the issues that anxiety, depression, and trauma have caused in your life. I help clients get relief from their suffering so they can create the life they want.
My starting point is that virtually all mental health issues result from habits of thought, feelings, or behavior that were adaptive when they were formed but become maladaptive later in life. I begin my work by asking, "What happened to you?" rather than "What's wrong with you?"
Do you feel lost or stuck? Has your life suddenly gone off track or slowed to a stop? Are you ready to put it back in gear?
If you feel you are hanging on by a thread, don't suffer in silence. Together we can work on letting go of what is getting in your way so you can stop just surviving and instead grow and thrive.
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Hi, my name is Maureen and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, in Florida where I have been practicing for over 20 years in both the community mental health arena as well private practice. I have experience in mobile crisis, substance abuse, individual, couples and family therapy in addition to being a qualified supervisor for licensure for the state of Florida.
I would like to first give you an idea of who I am and how I tend to approach not only therapy but life in general. My motto is to help my clients “make life simple again” by taking the issues at hand and breaking them into manageable parts. Often times, people become overwhelmed by what is going on in their lives because emotion has skewed their perspective and has created anxiety and stress toward that issue/situation. I view my role as being a guide to helping the person reevaluate the concern/issue in a more objective way in an effort to break it down into manageable parts. When situations or concerns are broken down into objective manageable parts then the feelings of being overwhelmed dissipate and decision making becomes easier.
I view therapy as just a learning experience that at times can feel uncomfortable and at other times feel very empowering. I use humor a lot in my sessions because it’s not only fun but also allows for a sense of levity throughout the process. Also, please know that you are the driver of this bus and I am simply your co-pilot. What we talk about or don’t talk about is entirely up to you and it is my goal to always have an atmosphere of respect and safety so that you feel at your most comfortable to be able to share what is going on for you. I look forward to working with you and seeing where the bus takes us.
The Center for Specialized Psychology (CSP) specializes in treating adult women, as well as children, couples and families. At CSP our therapists provide treatment through a trauma-informed approach, offering a safe, nonjudgemental and empowering perspective for all clients.
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Experiencing transitions or periods of uncertainty? Are you going through a phase of impactful life changes? Such as moving to a new area, relationship transitions, career changes or even being on your own for the first time. I have experience working with young adults and college student's, helping them manage and find solutions during crucial periods in their life. I strive to create a safe space to assist you in your journey of self-discovery and authenticity, while providing a non-judgemental and empathetic environment where you can thrive.
I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem and trauma through evidenced based practices tailored to your specific needs. My primary goal is to meet you where you’re at to feel comfortable in exploring your thoughts, goals, beliefs and values without fear to manage stressors and life transitions. You are the expert of your own life - I just provide the space.
I’m firm believer of the therapeutic connection and the power it holds for your healing journey. Together, we’ll uncover a deeper sense of authenticity and find ways to cope with stressors/triggers that will work uniquely for you. Techniques are known to help with decreasing negative thoughts, increasing self-worth and improving interpersonal relationships.
Each of us faces obstacles and difficulties in life differently, and at times we can all use help. Individuals frequently seek my services during times of transition, when decision making appears to have a greater impact on our future directions.
