NEW LIGHT COUNSELING & MEDIATION

The primary goal of individual therapy is to increase understanding of one’s thought and behavior patterns to help increase function and well-being. In therapy, you learn how to effectively manage stress, interpersonal difficulties and troubling situations along with developing abilities to make healthy decisions, set goals and live in a new light.

In couples therapy we begin to understand ways the brain controls how we react, and learn to stop blaming themselves for problems in our relationships and replace shame and reactivity with compassion and kindness. Couples learn ways to self-calm and stay connected. Armed with this knowledge, they begin to prevent and help defuse conflict and build secure and loving relationships.

In trauma therapy we gain new insights into our survival instincts explaining why traumatized people experience incomprehensible anxiety and numbing and intolerable rage, and how trauma affects their capacity to concentrate, to remember, to form trusting relationships, and even to feel at home in their own bodies. We work together through the loss of a sense of control, fear and frustration to repair the damage of a life time of events or just one.  

In Mediation, the mediator assists and guides the parties toward their own resolution.  Services are provided for Florida Family Law cases.  Parent Coordination services are provided for voluntary and required session through the Florida Court System. The goal is to assist parents in managing their parenting plan, improving communicationand resolving disputes.
