Find a therapist, counselor or psychologist in Tallahassee, FL

"I am a therapist who works with you to focus on the tougher issues in life so that there are more days in your life that will feel easier. I don't see stress as a disordered response to trauma so much as it is your body and a natural reaction to the environment it lives in. This may sound simple in theory, but by addressing stress and pressure in life, together we can find ways to identify life's glimmers- those tiny sparks of joy that allow light into our days."

My name is Katrina and I am a Trauma Recovery Therapist. I have a background in post-traumatic stress, trauma recovery, behavioral change, and family dynamics. If you are someone who can identify your desire to take steps—no matter their size—toward change, or if you're simply looking for answers about why you feel the way you do regarding life's challenges, we could be a good fit. I have worked with survivors of sexual trauma and domestic violence, and I have experience with those who have experienced incarceration. I am empathetic, optimistic, realistic, and challenge-driven. My goal in therapy is to help you realize your goals.

An open and honest dynamic is important to me. I'm not intimidated by emotions and I'm willing to challenge unhelpful beliefs. Stress, depression, anxiety, compulsion, and trauma are treatable conditions given the right space, time, and resources. When you make time to care for yourself, you're taking a step that deserves recognition—it is a leap forward.

I commend you on considering a change in your life. I encourage you to ask questions and find answers that you are comfortable with. Let's sit down together and make a plan for the next part of your great adventure- leave everything on the table, whatever led you this far, listen to that and take the next step. 

"Having gone through therapy myself, I have an empathic understanding of what it is like to search for a therapist who truly gets you."

I am a registered mental health counselor intern (RMHCI) with 3 years of experience supporting clients coping with medical illnesses, grief, family and relationship dynamics, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and mental health diagnoses on the schizophrenia/psychotic disorder spectrum. I often work with individuals experiencing significant life stressors who are looking for tangible skills to help them manage more effectively.

I earned my Master of Arts in clinical psychology from the University of Central Florida. I utilize a person-centered approach as we begin work together, and integrate modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and existential therapy.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and I would be honored to speak with you and assist you in becoming the ideal version of yourself. Seeking help is an act of courage and vulnerability. I am looking forward to working with you!
