Talkspace treatment methods are supported by scientific research and are committed to non-judgmental care that is inclusive and respectful of cultural and other identities. Talkspace patients are matched with the best provider for them based on their needs and availability during the registration process. Once matched with a provider, patients may change at any time, and may contact support to request a specific provider. *The above is attributed to Talkspace and not the provider.*

Biography: Hello, I'm excited to support you in creating your best life. We all have something to work on or through, and it's my goal to help you navigate that journey. I am a mother who has lived and experienced life in all its ups and downs. My life experience and education formally and through life is what I feel makes me a very a good therapist. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to tailor your experience, recognizing that every person is unique and, therefore, their therapy should be too. I specialize in areas including divorce, separation, anxiety, trauma, and depression. I genuinely look forward to meeting you and working together to achieve your goals. I am a mother who has lived and experienced life in all its ups and downs. My life experience and education formally and through life is what I feel makes me a very a good therapist. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to tailor your experience, recognizing that every person is unique and, therefore, their therapy should be too. Once we have scheduled a session I will require you to fill out two forms, one HIPPA form and a brief intake. This intake will allow me to get to know more about you prior to our first session. It asks questions that give me a clear picture on all aspects of you. This way we can get right to work and move a step closer to your goals for yourself.

Biography: Hello and Welcome! It is great to see that you have decided to take this step into further self-discovery, self-growth, and reflection. Therapy is a process, but doesn't necessarily require you to know exactly what type of support you might need. Actually, many people enter therapy to discover they have other things they also want to address. Sometimes, it's about the rewarding process to self-discovery that can be the motivation. Regardless of how you got here, my goal is to provide you with unconditional support. My approach is about honest dialogue. Too often there is a belief that saying 'certain things' in therapy is not acceptable. The reality is that it is the best place to have such discussions about feelings, thoughts, and approaches to challenges. It is also equally important to celebrate what may even feel like small victories. As we reach adulthood, we can tend to think that celebration is less important when it is super important. I hold a PhD in Public Affairs (Social Work Focus). This credential has provided me the opportunity to continue teaching college and doing research in critical areas of mental health. I have two Masters' degrees, in Social Work and Child Development and Education. I went back to pursue my second Master's in Early Childhood because one of my specialties is parenting and providing counseling support to very young children, supporting families affected by trauma or stress due to issues with their young child, and trauma response. I am passionate about helping parents with their own anxiety and depression (or other challenges), providing support to families affected by medical stress (a child with a chronic illness or in the NICU or a parent with medical concerns), assisting with support for intervention of developmental or behavioral concerns, fertility, and/or any concerns related to your family dynamics. My experience has also been in providing different therapy interventions to young children (0-5 years) with their family. I have assisted many families in identifying and addressing family challenges that could contribute to their young child's emotional or behavioral concern. Through this platform, our focus would be on your concerns or challenges in parenting and/or mental health or other areas, and we would work together for an end goal. I am also passionate about providing individual therapy to support anxiety, problem-focused depression, burnout, and effects of trauma. These challenges can present differently for different people and no feelings are 'wrong.' Our world is filled with a variety of unique cumulative stressors and this can make it sometimes difficult to identify the cause. Things such as, burnout, from the daily challenges can create more complex feelings of loss, confusion, and depression because they are often minimized by our own beliefs. I want to conclude by sharing that not everyone requires walking through their past to understand their current circumstances. There are lots of approaches to therapy as it is just a form of support. The duration of therapy also depends on many factors, but I believe that you and I should always form goals we can track progress. I'm happy you decided to stop by and that you are considering the process of therapy. I look forward to working with you!

Biography: Hello, my name is Jacob Price. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. I have been licensed since 2016 in private practice offering individual therapy ever since. I have 10 years of experience in mental health overall. From 2009-2016 I worked at a community mental health center where I was in various positions ranging from case management services for the severe and persistently mentally ill to group therapy for residential mental health clients. As a therapist I offer a person centered approach, meaning, It's my belief that careful listening and reflection of your emotions and thoughts can help you to find your own mental clarity and a greater self-acceptance. Within the person-centered approach I consider myself to be an Acceptance Based Behavior Therapist (ABBT). This type of therapy combines exercises meant to teach a person how to mindfully observe emotions and stop struggling with them so they can refocus attention on meaningful values based goals. Several Acceptance Based Behavior Therapies have been researched and shown to be clinically effective in reducing anxiety and depression. They include Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The idea is that what turns our initial emotional pain into suffering is our natural inclination to want to struggle with emotions instead of acknowledging them and then refocusing on the present moment. In addition to anxiety, depression, life issues and substance use disorders I treat PTSD by using Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy as well as Trauma Reprocessing Therapy. You may find it interesting to google a few of those therapies and read for yourself what they're about. I look forward to hearing from you soon and know that we can figure this out together.

Biography: I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. For more than 20 years I have worked primarily with families; focusing on behavioral problems and how to resolve issues within the family as a whole. Working with families this way has provided me with many opportunities to help resolve a very wide range of issues including, but not limited to, depression, stress and anxiety, parenting issues, anger and control issues, trust, infidelity, jealousy issues, time management and much more. I have worked with families that have children with Autism, ADHD, ODD and other childhood mental health issues. Most of the families I worked with throughout my career so far, have been referred due to DCF involvement and/or abuse reports having been under investigation. I also spent 10 years doing crisis counseling in a psychiatric hospital. My counseling style is laid back, but intense. Being a solution-focused therapist, I believe in identifying the areas of a person's life that needs changes the most and developing plans on how best to initiate changes, fairly quickly after we begin. I believe each person is the expert on themselves: you will tell me the best way for you to achieve your goals. I am a compassionate, respectful and non-judgmental person. I need your honest feedback on the therapeutic process, once we begin, for the process to have optimal success. They say the first step is the hardest one, but if you are looking at therapist profiles, you've already started on your journey to a happier, more fulfilling lifestyle. Good for you and stay positive for greatest success with your endeavors! Change is hard, but with the right guidance and information, making lifestyle changes can be much easier than going the whole way without any support whatsoever. AND, change can happen rather quickly. Studies have shown that a new behavior (on average) takes 66 days to become automatic. There really is a light at the end of the tunnel:)
