Therapists in Longwood, FL

At Open Doors Counseling Center we are passionate about helping individuals, children, teens, couples and families find peace, healing, strength and direction. We understand there are times when life can be painful, stressful, exhausting, and confusing. Our clients often come to us saying, "I feel stuck." "We just don't get along anymore." "We are so worried about our son." "We don't know what else to do." "I just can't seem to follow through on anything." "I am sad/anxious/worried/angry and I just want to feel happy." Life is really hard and sometimes you just need an expert to help you navigate the difficult and painful times.

I am a Christian counselor who works with clients that are experiencing difficulty with depression, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, family issues, marital issues, and more. I work with all age groups and diverse populations. The ideal client is the client who seeks help for their problem. I use a mix of many theories to treat clients depending on individual needs. I work with children and adults to address almost any need and believe there is no "one size fits all" type of counseling. I do not judge any person, but strive to work with you to help you feel better.

Life is hard and so is the journey that you are currently walking through. It is okay to let people in. It is okay to trust a few people and let them walk with you through whatever journey it is that you are going through. You do not have to be alone in your life transition, anxiety, grief, relationship, or marriage struggles. As you take this step into counseling, let me journey through this season of healing, growth, exploration and understanding together with you. You will have a judgement free and safe space to come and talk/work through past hurts, current struggles, and learn about yourself and what makes you tick.

I work well with a variety of clients and create individualized treatment options to meet their goals. I have been in mental health for almost ten years and truly enjoy working in this field. I am very passionate about helping others. My personal motto is..."Getting to the heart of the problem, by empowering minds and changing lives".

Have you experienced betrayal or infidelity in your marriage? Do you feel lost and helpless? Trust broken is not easily regained. Don't let shame or fear keep you from getting the help you need. I often see couples who tried to fight through betrayal alone with damaging consequences. Now is the time to seek help, and you need someone who has studied couples and betrayal. I have extensive, post-graduate training in couples therapy and trauma, and helping couples is my passion. If you are hurting and your relationship no longer feels like the safe place it once was, call me. Working with couples is my passion! Call me at 407-917-0322

Life storms” can show up at any time during the seasons of our lives. They can be mild storms or hurricane-level catastrophic storms. Those storms can range from work-related stress, broken relationships, losing a loved one, dealing with illness, job loss, fears, phobias, and traumatic, life-threatening events. These “life storms” can leave you feeling defeated, fearful, anxious, overwhelmed, and doubtful. You wonder if you will ever be able to find some sense of normal again. Every day is a struggle to get out of bed, go to work, tend to the kids, make dinner, etc. Days turn into weeks and weeks become months.

As someone who has walked through my own counseling experience, I know how vital it is that the counseling process feels safe. I am so honored that individuals, couples, and families would allow me to enter into the counseling process with them. I work with children, adolescents, and adults through a client-centered and integrative approach. I have spent my last few years as a school-based therapist, and I believe that working collaboratively with other providers, teachers, school counselors, etc. is very integral in the counseling process.

Are you feeling frustrated and confused by your closest relationships? Do you find yourself stuck in familiar negative patterns, in your relationships or your own habits? While our greatest heartaches often come to us in the form of relationships, they can also be the doorway to providing healing and reparative experiences. Sometimes we need another calm and caring presence to help us express our emotions, to gain clarity where we have confusion, and fumble our way forward out of the stuck places. Therapy can provide a healing relationship, a place to receive attentive and non-judgemental listening, and hope for a better tomorrow.

Do you know that you do not have to remain where you are? We all experience hardships that steal our peace, steer us down unwanted paths, and cause us to lose touch with who we are intended to be. At times we’re able to easily navigate these experiences. But sometimes these challenges cause a level of anxiety, depression, disorientation and other feelings that are hard to manage on our own. It's during these times that a compassionate and skilled professional can help. My name is Dr. Kim Tarman, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I have a heart for meeting people where they are, and a passion for helping them heal and grow.

If you are struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, or marital problems, I am here to help. I am a Christian therapist specializing in helping men overcome problems with excessive stress, difficulty managing their emotions, and frequent conflict in their family relationships.

It’s a fact of life that we all struggle in one way or another: feeling stuck or as if life has been turned upside down. Maybe, feeling confused and afraid about the future. Overwhelmed with feelings of shame, loneliness and hopelessness. You wonder: Do I stay or leave this relationship? Where do I go from here? Perhaps, your childhood was lost to sexual abuse and you ponder if it's worth facing the pain. Depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, divorce, relationship issues, infidelity, and life transitions are really holding you back. You want more from life. You want to regain a sense of purpose and peace but it seems elusive.

Externally, you are accomplished, dependable, and seem to have it all together, but internally, you feel empty, anxious, and alone. Your heart races, thoughts overwhelm your mind, feelings of insecurity hold you captive. You are unsure of your purpose in life. At times, memories of painful life experiences flood your mind, and it feels as though you are reliving the event all over again. You desire freedom but are afraid to trust people as you have been deeply hurt. I want you to know there is hope! Life can be different!

Night after night, you and your partner lie in bed together feeling miles apart. The quiet between you feels heavy. Days end without fixing things, making you feel more distant. It's hard to talk like you used to, with hurt and misunderstandings getting in the way. You miss how things were when joy and closeness filled your days. Now, all you have are these endless arguments and cold silences. You're both longing to find that closeness again, to understand and heal together. Despite the tough times, you still hold onto hope for a future where you can reconnect and grow stronger together.

At some point on life's path we all face times of challenge and transition. This is to be expected. It could be loss or illness, general life stressors, excessive worry, loneliness or hurtful relationships, or past trauma. Building resilience and skill, in order to find peace and workable solutions is a process. Achieving resolution and closure is as vital as breathing. During such times, care and support is available.

I enjoy working with children (9+) adolescents, and adults to develop conflict resolution skills, communication skills, emotion regulation skills, social skills, impulse control, self-exploration, and self-esteem building skills. I specialize in an Eclectic holistic approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and other treatment approaches. I am a Board Approved Supervisor and I strive to help people explore and develop their strengths in an effort to empower them to confidently manage symptoms as well as challenges that present in life.

Do you feel powerless to be the kind of person that you yearn to be? Have the Youtube, social media, or other screen-based rabbit holes gone too far and yet also feel like the only place you seem to be able to find solace from the stress in your life? Perhaps you’ve discovered yourself having reactions and relational patterns that sabotage the closeness you long for with others. Or maybe you simply desire to know more about who you were truly made to be so that you can authentically navigate your current season of life. If any of this resonates with you, I want you to know that you are not alone and that there is hope.

Does life feel like a series of problems? At times, we may feel exhausted, disempowered, stuck, and unfulfilled by the sense that we are constrained and consumed by challenges like depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, chronic illness, life transitions, work stress, and uncertainty about our life's purpose.

As a person who has worked in many different industries, Jason understands the everyday life struggles that you may be facing.
