At Renew Center of Florida, we believe in a personalized approach to psychotherapy that integrates various Eastern and Western disciplines to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual and their family. Our therapeutic toolbox includes solution-focused and oriented therapy, brief therapy, Gottman method, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), rapid reduction technique, narrative therapy, systemic therapies, structural and behavioral approaches, contextual therapy, and more. We understand that simply knowing these models is not sufficient; it's essential for psychotherapists to discern when and how to apply these techniques effectively. https://www.therenewcenter.com/our-specialized-treatment-programs

Psychotherapy is a combination of two words: "psycho" referring to mind and "therapy" involving a process of treatment intended to relieve or heal a problematic issue. Mind is interconnected with emotions, spirit, body, relationships, or performances. Debilitating issues of the mind can result in mood disturbances, behavioral, social, educational, somatic and relational problems. I work collaboratively with clients in identifying underlining issues of mind, then assist with deconstructing the problem or exploring meanings to achieve desired goals for relief, resolution, or healing.

When clients graduate from treatment, they take with them a box full of "tools", such as effective anger management techniques, avoiding confrontations that lead to negative expressions of anger, resolving conflict peacefully and quietly, making the right decisions in every aspect of life, and perseverance to always build skills against life's problems and apply them consistently.

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.

Freud is the father of psychotherapy. However, many things have changed since his day and many of his theories are no longer practiced in therapy. One thing we believe at Gateway that is still true is that the past does often affect the present of people. The past need not define us in the present or determine our future. But it can give us awareness as to why we both do and react to some things now. We work on what we call here the back end and the front end issues to change the things in the present the client wants to change. This tends to result in more permanent behavior change.

I use many different techniques to help you discover the very best ways to solve your problems, including Brief Therapy, NLP, MRI, Attachment, REBT, CBT, and, if you wish, Hypnotherapy. I believe that nearly every approach has value. Whatever your problem is, it is unlikely that it is truly one-dimensional. I am focused on results and I believe that you can achieve them with my help.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in the belief that the relationship between therapist and client is the most important component to a successful therapeutic outcome. Therefore, I spend time building a personal connection with my clients, in order to help them to feel comfortable exploring the deep intimate details of their lives. I work with them to uncover patterns in their lives and build insight from these patterns. We also collaborate together to identify the right set of coping skills to help them to manage the ups and downs of their lives.

Psychotherapy is at the core of everything I do. It's a space to slow down, look honestly at what's been driving your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and start making sense of patterns you may not have even noticed before. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT, DBT, and somatic work, tailoring the approach to what you actually need rather than fitting you into a predetermined framework. Over time, clients develop deeper self-awareness, healthier coping skills, and a stronger sense of who they are and what they want. Real, lasting change is possible. Sometimes you just need the right space to do the work.
