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:)

Biography: I am a LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) currently licensed in Florida. I have 5 years experience in this capacity, as well as 24 years as a para-professional providing crisis response services (CISM, Peer Support) to First Responders (I am a retired Law Enforcement Officer with 28 years of experience). In addition to my first responder work, I have also had the pleasure of providing counseling services to many of the same people that I had arrested. I mention this because it is not where you've been or where you're at, but where you want to be. I value the person. I have worked with clients over trauma issues, anxiety, depression, coping, existential/quality of life concerns, etc. I take an integrative approach to counseling, adjusting to best serve the client's needs. I am direct and factual in my approach with clients, as I don't believe in ambiguity or leaving someone guessing. That being said, effective counseling also requires warmth, caring and support. I find that a sprinkling of appropriate humor helps to facilitate the process, but most of all, sincerity is the key to a successful collaborative experience. I bring a lot of life experience to counseling, especially trauma/crisis issues for First Responders. I do not just talk the talk, I have walked the walk.

Care Philosophy: Talkspace partners with care providers who find satisfaction in providing therapy in a way that prioritizes the client's convenience and preferences. Because all therapy takes place virtually, through messaging, live virtual sessions, or both, providers can communicate more frequently and casually in comparison to traditional face-to-face therapy. 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 am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing Psychotherapy & Coaching Services. I have worked as a Mental Health Professional for the past 18 years. I have experience supporting others while working in Child Welfare, Psychiatric Research, Crisis Intervention/Counseling, Active Duty Military, In/Outpatient Therapy, & Hospice. I am delighted to work with those seeking TeleHealth Services & feel so thankful this outlet exists, especially in this uncertain time of an International Pandemic. I specialize in Client-Centered & Solution-Focused Therapies while striving to help achieve a sense of Empowerment for my clients. My practice is based on the premise that all human systems are interconnected. An example would be a person's chronic pain exacerbating their level of anxiousness. Often the anxiety we experience also agitates our pain level. It proves challenging to discern which came first when both are heightened. The more we learn & know about ourselves, the easier it is to know "what to do". My goal is to aid in that process & then work towards what works best to put into routine in effort to have a fulfilling, & high, overall quality of life. I am very much looking forward to working with you & am hopeful we can work together to achieve your goals!
