Therapists serving clients in Seminole, FL

Hello there-- you made it! Thank you for taking the first step in contacting me! I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

My name is Paige Bond. I go by She/Her pronouns and am a white cisgender neurodivergent woman. I want to use this page to tell you a little bit more about me so that you are sure I am the right fit counselor for you! *My regular working hours are Monday-Thursday 9:00am- 4:00pm EST. Available for Live Chat sessions LATER than posted availability. I do my best to respond to messages 1x per day.* I help folx experiencing relationship anxiety and who are in or navigating sexually alternative lifestyles get the DREAM relationship they want but just need a lil guidance. That’s where I come in! I help my clients find balance, playfulness, and fulfillment in their relationships by teaching them practical tools to use in everyday interactions so they can bridge the gap with the ones they love most. When people start coming into therapy hashing out a new problem every week, it can seemingly take forever for resolutions to unfold. It's not exactly the express lane to problem-solving if you catch my drift. You need something more so you can take action. I take a different approach by offering ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY along with giving practical tools and exercises for you to use before, during, and after our sessions. First, we’ll assess the cracks in your foundation and get a sense of what your DREAM relationship looks like so we have some direction of where to go. Then, we’ll work on making repairs for built up disconnections from unresolved conflict. After working together, you’ll have the skills to handle real conflicts with a partner when insecurity shows up so you can reconnect with intention and be authentically you. I’m a sex-positive therapist here to let your unique expression of living relationally SHINE. I tend to work with folx who might identify as kinky, polyamorous, non-monogamous, be a sex worker, or part of the LGBTQIA+ community. My training in the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and the Institute for Relational Intimacy gives away my obsession for learning how to create long lasting and healthy relationships. My training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can help you get relief from stress and painful experiences that are impacting you today. Why might an Accelerated Resolution Therapy be helpful? I’m a big believer in regular online talk therapy as much as the next therapist, but that can be proven tough to be efficient for some situations, specifically with stressful events or trauma. When starting traditional therapy, you can spend the first 4-6 sessions just getting to know each other, the situation, and forming goals for treatment. Some people drop out of traditional talk therapy early on because they feel like it isn’t working and progress is too slow. With ART, you can see results as soon as the first session. I love to offer short term-solution focused therapy and have a schedule that fluctuates in availability every couple months to honor flexibility for me and my clients.

My name is Deidre Ann Ricketts, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. I have been providing psychotherapy to individuals ranging from children to older adults for the past 7 years both in person and virtually. My training at Florida Atlantic University, where I earned my MSW degree, as well as my various employment opportunities over the years prepared me to engage in a client centered manner. It has been an honor and a privilege for me to walk alongside each individual as they faced various challenges in their life. Whether it was issues related to grief and loss, family challenges, past traumas, or other life cycle transitions, to name a few, I have made it my practice to approach each individual with respect and care. I understand that individuals know their own life experiences better than I ever could, and have a right to self-determination. I also believe the phrase “no man is an island” holds true, and as a result encourage clients to seek to build bridges, and where this may be impossible, seek acceptance of things one cannot change. The recognition that one is unable to manage one’s mental health alone can be frightening, and feelings of vulnerability and fear may immediately take over. If you have overcome, or at the very least, tolerated those dreaded feelings to the point of reading about me, I would like to personally acknowledge you for taking this step! I believe that finding a good therapist is like finding a good pair of shoes. When it fits, you know! If you are impressed to move forward with me, know that you will be greeted with warmth, care, and sincerity. I have also found that solution focused and cognitive based therapy modalities often produce good results. During our time together, I will seek to empower you on your journey, challenge you to grow, support your ups and downs, and celebrate with you when you have reached your mile stones. In the words of another famous saying, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. I look forward to collaborating with you on your journey!
