Grief Therapists in Tampa, FL

I encourage all individuals experiencing grief or loss, healing from an abusive relationship, in the midst of transition, or overwhelmed with the challenges of life to take a bold and courageous step and seek therapy. Persevere until you find a therapist you connect with and trust. My desire is to provide a collaborative, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment for my clients that fosters emotional healing, growth, and positive change. I use an integrative approach that is person-centered, solution-focused and designed to meet the client's individualized needs and goals.

Therapy can help you enhance your awareness of how your unrealistic or negative beliefs and thinking patterns about yourself and others undermine the quality of your life. Therapy can help you change those dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs. These changes in thinking will go hand-in-hand with improvements in your moods, decisions, quality of your relationships, and the quality of your life. Therapy can help you overcome grief and loss, navigate major changes and life stages, enhance motivation, improve coping skills for dealing with stress, anxiety, and fear, and learn to deal with anger, rage, frustration, and disappointment more constructively.

Sometimes we find ourselves at a place where we need to start afresh. Each day presents an opportunity to be “reborn.” I will help you create a plan that is right for you and the journey you are on. Your life should reflect the dreams, visions, goals and aspirations you desire. I will help you work through and process life’s unexpected and unplanned challenges.

The road to self-empowerment starts with a first step. Change can be scary or difficult, but the good news is that once the decision is made, it always leads to a door open toward success.

Hello. I'm Kathleen Ledbetter and offer my services with the benefit of having helped many others during 20 years of counseling. If your problems concern relationships,grief or loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, personal challenges or divorce, I welcome you. If we meet, we can talk and probably change things around so that you can see more possibilities for your future. An important part of the process is recognizing your own inner wisdom and resources. Then, I would like to work with you, as you practice using your abilities and resources to deal with your challenges.

It has been a privilege to walk along side others when they want additional help in dealing with relationship, career, health, and life transitions or when they want to just talk things out. My doctoral training and experience in the field for over 20 years allow me to work with a wide range of issues. I have worked in different capacities including as an adjunct professor, supervisor of therapy/ testing, and a psychotherapist in hospitals, universities, and military clinics. I am currently offering telehealth services to adolescents (ages 11 and up) and adults.

I believe all people have the potential to live healthy, happy, fulfilling lives. I also believe that sometimes we need help when we struggle with various issues. It is my honor to sit with you as you share your story and allow yourself to be vulnerable. Together we will work on becoming stronger, acquiring tools, and building skills to manage the many things life throws your way. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, talk therapy, solution focused therapy, client-centered and equine assisted therapy, and more. It can be very difficult to reach out for help and I admire your courage in taking that first step.

Currently accepting Social Work Interns for Qualified Supervision and new clients seeking a warm, client-focused therapist with extensive experience in trauma, women's health, and medical background. I am Certified in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMH-C) as well as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

I love working with individuals to remove blocks that are keeping them from living the life they imagined. There is no one size fits all approach to therapy; your story and collection of struggles are unique to you. With every twist and turn of life's happenings come the fear of uncertainty, grieving the loss of what once was, and even the excitement of what's to come.

I have been a Therapist for 27 years. Working with people who need and want to change is powerful. Most people have something they would like to change or heal from. Wanting or needing change does not make it happen, you have to work at it. Clients often come to therapy at a loss of what to do next and thats where the process begins. That's what therapy is all about. Finding the right therapist is critical to change and healing. I encourage you to call me.

Our lives are full of obstacles that that can prevent us from living life to it's fullest. Some obstacles we seem to bring upon ourselves while others are thrust upon us. Overcoming these obstacles can be difficult and sometimes painful. I see my role, as a therapist, as helping individuals identify the thoughts and emotions connected to life's challenges and dealing with them in a way which promotes understanding, growth and healing.
