Find a Therapist in DeBary, Florida.

I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I employ a variety of approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, lifestyle changes, and psychoeducation to help people dealing with issues including attention issues, anxiety issues, relationship issues, family issues, depression and other mood issues, and trauma issues.

My approach to therapy is not a quick fix or a band-aid approach. It is not self-help advice or executive coaching. It is a process of research-proven, emotional surgery that gets at the heart of your issues and heals them at their source. If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve conquered in the workplace and found success. And yet, you’re not at peace with your life. Whether it’s stress, trauma, addiction, strained relationships, or a lack of motivation, something needs to change. Often, my role is to help successful men get their hearts back. I can help you rediscover your purpose, reconnect with what matters, heal your insecurities, improve your relationships, and leave a legacy.

As licensed psychotherapists, we provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment for helping our clients to process emotions, traumas, and explore their personal experiences to gain insight and make progress toward their goals. Processing your experiences in psychotherapy has many benefits, including lessening undesirable symptoms, increasing positive emotions, improving outlook on life and helping you to understand yourself and your life better. We will utilize psychotherapy techniques tailored to your specific needs to assist you in getting closer to where you would like to be.

Understanding how you view the world can carry immense benefits. I can help you learn how what happened to you may have negatively affected you, and how to understand how that has colored your viewpoint until now. By examining your own history, you can change your life in a positive way going forward. It's almost impossible to see yourself- let me hold up a mirror and help you understand yourself and your world better.

Therapy is the process of learning how to understand yourself, your motivations, and your relationships. I use the analogy that a therapist helps you in bringing all of your boxes out of storage, spreading the contents on the table, and making sense of it all. Therapy is not advice giving, but an investigation into the nuts and bolts of your decision making. It is my goal to empower you throughout this process, and to help you reclaim your strengths that have been buried by the junk of life.

My approach to psychotherapy comes from a deep responsibility in helping people grow. I specialize in brining adults to consciousness, healing trauma, and self actualization. With 23 years of practicing and teaching the science of yoga and spirituality I consider this work sacred. I have a limited amount of session per week to give my clients the attention they need. I work regularly on my own self care which allows me to capture my passion and avoid burn out. For over 25 years I have been intentional about my own personal growth and healing. Many of my clients are with me for years and I often hear from past clients years later. Building relationships is the core of therapeutic success.

We explore how your background and childhood is affecting you today and limiting your growth. I will help you connect the dots from what you heard, what your parents learned or went through which became your problem because they never did their own healing. Lets explore your story that you might not have told anyone. I want to heal your inner child who is still hurting but of course when you are ready, no pressure.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.

In everyday life, we don't always get the chance to express how we are really feeling or share our struggles in an honest way. Psychotherapy provides a unique environment where you can share your emotions and true self and be met with empathy and the full attention of another person. In our sessions, I will be there to support you on your journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Through this relational approach, you'll discover patterns you want to change, increase self-awareness and gain coping skills that work for you.

Dr. Hobbie's goal in Psychotherapy is to help you overcome life's difficulties and cultivate a greater sense of personal well-being. He can provide guidance in dealing with troublesome behaviors and beliefs that interfere with living life fully. The process of therapy often involves a careful look at our past journey and the resulting feelings and beliefs that we acquire. He can assist you in understanding those past events and how they continue to impact your life.

Are you uncertain as to what kind of therapy you want? Not sure as to what sort of therapist will help you the most? I can help you answer these questions. As a highly trained clinical psychologist, I am here to help you find the help you need. And whether our work is short or long term, together we can bring you that much closer to the support you deserve.

As a psychotherapist, my role is to help my clients gain confidence in their decision making power and begin to trust in themselves. I believe that therapy should be solution-focused and action oriented. Using a Cogntive Behavioral Approach, the goal is to assist clients with developing tools to empower themselves, strategies that they clearly understand and can implement to overcome the obstacles standing in their way of happiness.
