Therapists in Oakland Park, FL

Hello! Thank you for taking time to view the services we offer and potentially choosing Perseverance Counseling, LLC as your passenger/guide to healing. At Perseverance Counseling our slogan is "championing your ability to hurdle life's obstacles". For over fifteen years, I have provided counseling services to adolescents, teenagers and adults. I have worked with individuals in correctional, community, school and hospital settings. Also, I have provided counseling to families transitioning from homelessness to stable housing.

The most common phrase I hear when I ask new clients to describe themselves is "not good enough." As a result of invalidating life experiences, many of us come to believe that we are unworthy of acceptance. In order to avoid potential rejection, we hide aspects of our identities that others might view as unacceptable, and we present a fragmented or incomplete version of ourselves to the world. While this can be advantageous in some environments, it also can become a barrier to intimacy. Many of my clients struggle to be vulnerable and find it challenging to embrace their full, authentic selves.

Accepting art therapy interns now ! Text me for an Immediate Response. Therapy can be repetitive, one-sided, and expensive but with me you CAN achieve solutions - Dr. Kay. Although traditional therapy is effective - it also often yields temporary results. I realize that your time and money is valuable, so our sessions are structured very different than traditional therapies. I believe that everyone deserves to live a harmonious, balanced life full of joy. To reach any goal I KNOW you have to be consistent, intense and purposeful.

Navigating life is challenging if not exhausting at times. You may be re-evaluating your choices and asking yourself, 'What did I do wrong?' Keeping up with the crazy pace of life while dealing with the stress in relationships, mental health, and work can throw you out of balance. I am here to help you bring stability back in to your life by working with you to uncover your strengths already present within you, but lost in the chaos. In a supportive environment, I aim to guide you look at past and present experiences from different perspectives and create a shift in your perception.

Tell me if any of this sounds like you - You're relentlessly hard on yourself. You might feel uncomfy in your own skin and struggle with body image or disordered eating. Maybe you're burnt out on dating/relationships and wonder if you'll ever find what you're looking for. On the surface, it might seem like you have it all together, but in reality, you overthink, have a hard time speaking your mind, and run through "what ifs" endlessly. You're goal-oriented and hard-working, but regardless of your accomplishments, nothing feels like it translates to truly feeling good enough. If this resonates with you, you're in the right place!

Do you scroll through your social media and wonder why you aren’t living your “best life”? You might say, “why does it feel like everyone else has their sh*t together and here I am, struggling to 'adult' on a good day?" Do you feel like you’ve lost your chance to live the life you always thought you'd have? Maybe you’ve achieved success, but are drowning in keeping up with your own unrelenting standards. You're exhausted from performing and disappointed that you always have to miss out. You know there is more to life than your job, but you can't seem to find that work/life balance. Life has become about keeping up versus living.

Anxious? Depressed? Overwhelmed? We're living in extraordinarily difficult times, and while most of us can handle life's ups and downs, sometimes we just need a little help. I know I sometimes do, and I'm not afraid to reach out, get the support I need, and learn about myself in the process. Whether you're suffering from mood disorders, childhood trauma, grief, relationship issues, or simply need an active, supportive coach to help you achieve your goals, the answer could be just a phone call or a few keystrokes away. I promise I won't only help you get better — I'll teach you how to stay well.

Starting therapy, particularly after an experience where you may have felt hurt, misunderstood, can be overwhelming. Especially, if trust has been broken or opening up to people can be difficult for you. You may find yourself feeling “something is just not right”, or “something feels off”. Of course there are a number of reasons why people start coming to therapy, but these phrases are ones I hear the most often. My hope if that through honesty, authencity, and humor I can build your trust to support you in this journey.

I believe you already have the answer to your problem. If you’re unaware of that answer, my job is to help you uncover it. If you’re conscious of it, my job is to help you accept it. In both cases, we work together as you decide what you’re going to do next. Either way, you are the expert on your own life. I ask the questions and help you sift through your options.

As an outpatient clinician, I believe that every person has the internal potential to be the change they want in their lives, it's just a matter of finding the tools and support needed to get there. I am a licensed mental health counselor and have spent the past 10 years working in behavioral health. My goal is to be a part of your journey toward healing, discovery, and growth by creating the safe space to allow for vulnerability and true connection, working together to meet your personal goals for change.

It can be challenging to carry all the stress and anxiety on your own. These challenges aren't definitive of you, your character, or identity. Moments and experiences shape you, they don't define you. Everything in life is a process. My goal is to help my clients to understand themselves, cope with emotions in a healthy way, encourage and promote a healthier mindset to shift their way of thinking into being. The vision for my clients is to assist them in coming home to themselves, living a life in the present as they build towards tomorrow.
