Are you struggling with issues related to depression, grief, anxiety, or the stress of daily living? Is your drinking or drug use turning into an addiction, or maybe you've crossed the line of being able to manage your life. Do you wish there were options for dealing with the things that are holding you back from living happy, healthy, and content? Are you looking for ways to deal with your substance use, but are too afraid to seek help, believing there is only one, correct method of doing so? There comes a time when we need help from a qualified professional to assist us in coping with many of life’s challenges. I’m a licensed Psychotherapist offering online help throughout Florida in a safe, encrypted manner.

Men, Women, and young adults struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, an addiction and/or other mental health issues. Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting, but I’m here to guide you through the obstacles you may face.

SERVICES PROVIDED
Individual Therapy
Whether you are having problems with substance use, experiencing high anxiety, episodes of depression or sadness, or need to be more motivated to deal with the daily stressors of life, these one-on-one sessions are designed to assist you with learning coping skills and becoming more self-empowered allowing you to focus on solutions that work for you.
Family Sessions
Families are the ties that bind. And, while families are the centrum of our lives, many times the individual conflicts of one or more members tends to affect the entire group. A son or daughter’s problems at school; a father’s anger issues that may end in bouts of emotionally, or even physically, abusive behavior; a mother’s unexpected, and sudden, addiction to her anti-anxiety medication are just a few of the possibilities that a family may confront. The true value of counseling for all members cannot be underestimated and usually results in reliable solutions for all.
Couples Counseling
Sometimes in a relationship, parties may hit a snag or experience a rough patch. Sometimes, the relationship is on the brink of ending, or the couple has decided that a divorce may be the answer for them. Finding solutions to relationship problems, is the purpose of couples counseling. As an unbiased listener, both of you will receive counseling on how best to get over the hurdles faced from time to time, and resolve problems in an amicable manner.
TeleTherapy
TeleTherapy is the newest form of delivering healthcare services that can assist you in easily obtaining the help you are seeking even when you are unable to see the practitioner in person. About one in five American adults experience mental health problems each year, but less than half of them receive treatment due to issues with time or distance. Cullen Behavioral Health offers you a safe, fully-HIPAA-compliant, private, confidential platform that allows us to engage in therapy by using your computer’s camera and microphone. You can virtually be anywhere in the world and schedule an appointment for an individual or couples session.
