Find a Therapist in Groveland, FL

Hello! Thank you for considering me as your potential therapist! I believe that therapy is successful when it’s provided in a positive, confidential, and safe environment. I trust that my clients can engage in the necessary work to promote lasting change when they are in a safe and secure environment. My area of expertise is in anxious moods, depressive moods, and childhood & adult trauma. I also provide online psychological evaluations for immigration cases throughout Florida. I also offer in-person services in Orlando, Florida. I am skilled in conducting evaluations in English and Spanish. You and I will work together to develop the necessary skills and become resilient. My goal is to help you develop the skills you need to ease any difficulties you’re experiencing. You’ll work toward gaining the fortitude to face your adversities. Together, we’ll develop the insight that’s related to your circumstance(s), we’ll work toward identifying and reframing any unhelpful thoughts, and utilize learned strategies. I am looking forward to hearing from you and working with you.

Whether you're feeling stuck in the past, living in the future, or too anxious to fully participate in your own life, therapy can help you develop healthier ways of coping, regulate difficult emotions, and become more present in your daily life. I'm Kathryn, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, stress, and recovery from unhealthy or toxic relationships. I work with adults who are ready to understand why they keep finding themselves in the same painful patterns and want to create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to your individual needs. I don't believe therapy should follow a one-size-fits-all formula. Together, we'll explore your history, identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and build a treatment plan based on your goals, strengths, and what research shows to be effective. Depending on your needs, I incorporate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness-based interventions, and other trauma-informed techniques. Much of my work centers on identifying and changing the self-sabotaging patterns that interfere with the life you want to live. My goal is to help you understand where those patterns came from, learn new ways of responding to life's challenges, and develop the confidence to move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and self-compassion. Clients often tell me they appreciate having a therapist who is genuine, relatable, and willing to provide honest, objective feedback while maintaining a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, not simply a place to talk, but a place to better understand yourself, build practical skills, and create lasting change. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with compassion while also helping you challenge old patterns and move toward the life you want, I'd be happy to talk with you about what working together could look like.

I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to be honest, not judged, rushed, or treated like a diagnosis. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. We’ll take time to understand what you’re experiencing, recognize the patterns keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies that fit your life. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, and I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based approaches. I adapt our work to your needs rather than expecting you to fit into one method. Whether you’re navigating attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), anxiety, depression, trauma, loneliness, panic, or work-related stress, I’ll help you better understand yourself and make changes that feel realistic and sustainable. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting; we can begin exactly where you are.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed by the stress and anxiety of everyday life? Maybe it has been difficult for you to adjust to a recent life change, such as becoming a new mom. Perhaps you are grieving a pregnancy loss or struggling with infertility. Many of my clients are young adult and millennial women seeking support as they navigate relationship issues and family dynamics, build self-esteem, and overcome various challenges in their lives, from breakups to motherhood. I take an integrative approach by incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques throughout the therapy process. This helps give you concrete tools and coping skills to manage your emotions, as well as challenge negative or anxious thoughts. More importantly, I provide compassionate support in a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to heal, grow, and feel empowered. Whether you are looking to find new ways to cope with stress and anxiety, heal from infertility trauma, grieve a loss, or navigate postpartum life, you do not have to face these concerns alone. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward mental health and wellness.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Have you experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, or panic attacks? Are you recovering from narcissistic abuse or struggling in a relationship affected by sex addiction or infidelity? Maybe you're having trouble with communication, conflict, or important life decisions. You're not alone. Every year, one in four Americans seeks help from a mental health professional. Reaching out doesn’t mean you’re broken—it means you’re human. We all need support sometimes. I'm Suzanne, and I believe in a holistic approach to healing—restoring the mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're navigating a crisis or just need someone to talk to, I’m here to help you find clarity, strength, and hope. Don't wait. Healing begins with a single step.

As licensed clinicians, we focus on meeting with clients who are dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, personality challenges, and mood challenges. We also help those who need someone to talk to about life stressors and life decisions. Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t. Together, we will reframe negative thoughts into positive ones, build skills to manage intrusive thoughts, and learn how to focus on your strengths.

In my years of specializing in trauma and abuse, I have found that the most successful individuals often feel the most isolated by their experiences. My philosophy is simple: You should not have to choose between your professional excellence and your personal healing. I believe that a traumatic event—whether it be a single crisis, a history of abuse, or a profound loss—is an extraordinary experience that requires a specialized, clinical response to become "normal." My approach is to meet you at the intersection of your high-functioning life and your most difficult moments. By combining the structure of grief recovery with the depth of hypnotherapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), we create a space where your history can be processed with dignity, discretion, and profound expertise. Healing is the ultimate high-performance act. You are used to being the most capable person in the room, but trauma does not respond to willpower. If a crisis, loss, or history of abuse has begun to compromise your focus and well-being, you need more than just "talk therapy." I provide a sophisticated, clinical approach to help high-achievers normalize and integrate traumatic events. With a Ph.D in Counseling Education and Supervision, I specialize in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), hypnotherapy, and grief loss recovery. My expertise covers the spectrum of trauma—including intimate partner violence (IPV), domestic violence, and abuse—offering a discreet, expert-level space to stabilize your nervous system and reclaim your edge. Let's move past "coping," and get back to operating at your full potential.

My approach to counseling is compassionate, client-centered, and evidence-based. I understand that every individual, couple, and group brings unique experiences, challenges, and strengths to therapy, which is why I tailor each treatment plan to meet your specific needs and goals. Using research-supported therapeutic modalities, I focus on helping clients gain insight, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we work on developing practical coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening self-awareness. Whether you are navigating personal challenges, seeking individual therapy, improving connection through couples counseling, or participating in group therapy, my approach integrates clinical expertise with empathy, collaboration, and deep respect for your healing journey.

Do you struggle with racing thoughts, feeling that something is missing in your life, loss of self, poor body image, or emotional eating? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others? Do you wish life would feel happier, better, and more fulfilling? My mission is to help you build a fulfilling, empowered, and peaceful life, where you feel confident and in control of your mental and physical well-being. Inspiring people to live a better life is my passion! You are not alone on this journey! Here you will find a compassionate, non-judgmental, personalized approach that is unique to you and builds on your strengths through a deep understanding of your specific needs and goals. Knowledge is power and we will work together to better understand the patterns that are not working to help empower you to live the life you desire!

More than just an intellectual endeavor, counseling is a special experience. It is a place where you can begin to enrich your own understanding and perspective. When that happens, the nature of your problems begins to change, appearing more as solutions in disguise. When you agree on the ideas or tools that are helpful, you can try them in day-to-day life and see for yourself how they work. This tends to further reinforce the desire to improve. The process itself is an exploration that can be as interesting as it is emotionally rewarding. My specialty is to closely listen to my clients and acknowledge where they want to be as people. My job is to translate their ideas and feelings into opportunities. The next step is to determine what adjustments will bring about the desired goals. I combine compassion with knowledge to foster a therapeutic experience that is supportive and of practical benefit in daily living.
