Alcohol Use Therapists in Panama City, FL

Love "The first duty of love is to listen." When someone truly listens the problems come to light and can be healed, resolved. Your unique capabilities and telling of your story in the ways you choose to resolve what brings you here are highly valued in the counseling process. I may use assessments and diagnoses but may also help with adjustment or not need to label. I assess the problem and offer researched solutions proven to work. I use a variety of therapies, including a person centered approach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also offer Equine and Canine Assisted therapy. I offer tele-therapy and remote video counseling.

There are many reasons why people seek counseling with me. Sometimes it's to deal with long-standing psychological issues with anxiety or depression. Other times it is in response to unexpected changes in one's life such as a divorce, a death or work transition. Therapy provides insight & new perspectives into life's challenges, creates solutions & confidence to make changes. I create a safe, warm, non-judgmental environment for my clients to explore their choices & emotions so they are able to gain insight, self-confidence & new coping skills in order to navigate life's obstacles more effectively.

Welcome. If you're here, you might be ready to take the next step to getting help. My focus is on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, so you receive the support and guidance you need to navigate life's challenges. I work interactively and collaboratively with each client to identify what keeps you from living a more fulfilling life. Together, we'll explore past and present struggles and develop newer, healthier coping skills. I truly believe each person has the capacity, strength, and ability to change their life and achieve their goals.

Throughout my career I have provided care to people from different backgrounds including veterans, law enforcement, first responders, LGBTQ, and people with disabilities. I have experience working with people who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar disorder. I provide individual, couples, and group therapy. I enjoy helping couples and families navigate challenges that arise in their dynamics, and combine session work with both individual and family sessions as needed.

Hello! My name is Rachel, a queer, able-bodied, white person, I have the honor and privilege to work with you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker whom specializes in gender & sexuality, trauma healing utilizing EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), as well as addiction recovery, working with adolescents and adults. Coming out, transitioning, and discovering who you are may be a difficult process on its own. On top of having fear of or experiencing discrimination, harassment, prejudice, denial of rights, or family rejection. Let an unbiased expert walk with you every step of the way.

I am part of the team at the The Aguirre Center for Inclusive Psychotherapy, which provides Individual, Relationship, and Group Psychotherapy as well as Psychological Assessment. We believe that you deserve to work with someone who understands and affirms the complexities of your identities. I work to create an environment in which clients can examine and better understand themselves and the challenges they face. I have particular expertise in working with addiction/substance abuse; trauma; sexual orientation and gender identity (LGBTQIA+); and issues related to experiencing racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression.

I strongly believe you are the expert of your life. However at times life itself gets in the way and we tend to only see what is missing, the half empty glass. Then, we begin to doubt ourselves and with time without attending to ourselves some of the feelings can be: feeling overwhelmed, burnout, anxious, depressed, worried, body pain for no reason to name a few.

Hypnosis is a safe tool for achieving personal goals whether you want to stop doing something (smoking, over eating, biting fingernails, feeling anxious, worrying, any unwanted habit) or want to start doing something (eating better, exercising, improve concentration, test scores, even athletic ability). It can be utilized to improve mood, reduce tension and stress, relieve feelings of overwhelm and teach the body to deeply relax. Further, Hypnosis is well documented as an effective treatment for chronic pain and complements medical treatment. Regular practice of hypnotism reduces blood pressure and improves sleep.

“Addressing our emotional, mental and psychological wounds is best way of empowering life” Happiness is not ready-made; our actions determine whether or not to achieve it. Over the last few years, I have had several clients all with their own story to tell. The mind can sometimes be an unsafe neighborhood; however, you don't have to go there alone. As a therapist, I help all my clients navigate the dilemmas by tailoring each therapy session to match your needs and wants. My approach is interactive, warm, and accepting, ensuring that each client feels a sense of belongingness. It implies that I offer tasks, feedback, and tools.

I see clients facing a range of challenges, i.e., men's issues, trauma, substance & mood disorders. My clients may be seeking support for issues related to relationships, grief & loss, work stress and deeper questions about life and their place in it. Others may be grappling with the aftermath of traumatic experiences, addictive behaviors or contending with anxiety, depression or anger issues. My clients are children, adolescents and adults, many of whom are new to therapy or have been in therapy multiple times to little avail. They aim to develop virtue & to improve their lives physically, socially, spiritually & emotionally.

I can help you use your strengths to meet your goals. Let's engage in a you-focused, judgement free, empathetic, skillful and goal directed conversation. Let's work through the dark emotions together. With support it can once again feel safe to rekindle hope and reprocess the felt memories that stick. We will focus on your goals and view you as capable with strengths. Hope and healing is possible.

Change is difficult and uncomfortable and things can become even harder when those around you don’t understand.

You go around and around, you follow the steps, you read the books but it’s just not working and no one understands why that is. You’re thinking “maybe I’m just not cut out for this? Maybe I need this? I’m just broken.” But MAYBE you just haven’t found a solution that works for your needs. Let's find a solution that works for YOU.

Hello! There are times in life where we may find ourselves struggling with current stressors or are experiencing challenges coping with wounds from the past. While seemingly functioning in the day-to-day routines of work, school, home, and within relationships, it becomes increasingly difficult or sometimes even impossible to manage.

I understand how life challenges can be difficult to overcome and can cause increased stress, anxiety or depression. While some people suffer temporary periods of anxiety or depression; others may have more life long persistent mental illness such as Bi-polar or Schizophrenia. My passion for helping others plus my personal experience raising two children with special needs led me to opening Bright Future Behavioral Health Inc. Bright Future is a non-profit agency dedicated to educating the community and providing a holistic approach to treatment. We provide telehealth services, in office services, and community based counseling.

I have a unique perspective in that I have experience in other areas prior to psychology.

I am not here to "tell you what to do", but rather help you focus on your issues, form goals, and attain those goals. Often I will used testing and other techniques to help identify problem areas, and therefore solutions, so that you may move on with your life.
