In Person Counseling in the Jacksonville, Florida area, and Secure Video Counseling for all of Florida
Many individuals have said that coming into a counseling session in person is like being in someone’s living room. The warm, comfortable, and inviting area provides an atmosphere to discuss any issues or topics that need to be discussed. Although we have extensive education, training, and experience, our down to earth and non-judgmental approach makes it more comfortable when discussing difficult or emotional issues.
Counseling
- Focused on teen counseling (including self-harm)
- We have extensive experience working with this population. Teen issues are unique due to the ever-changing world with the increase in bullying including cyber bullying, which requires immediate attention. Whether it is poor grades, relationship issues or mental health disorders, there is always a treatment that can help. Teens may not want to open up to their parents and having a non-judgmental approach allows us to connect with teens and provide solutions.
- Adult issues including mental health disorders, chronic medical conditions, and/or life issues
- In today’s world, there is so much going on, we often forget to take care of ourselves. Finding time for counseling services can be an invaluable way to become healthier.
- Veterans and their families
- The issues facing our veterans are unique due to being in combat, long periods away from their family, and having to move to different commands. The families are providing support for the veteran which can be stressful. Family members often feel isolated moving to a city with no support. Counseling services are supportive to the veteran and/or the family.
- Bariatric pre and post-operative counseling along with evaluations
- Surgeons generally require bariatric patients have a mental health clearance before surgery is approved. This can be done quickly by answering questionnaires and an interview that can be done in person or through video services. A clearance letter is provided to your coordinator. Many bariatric patients are in need of pre and post-operative counseling due to the emotional hurdles that will arise.
Secure Video Counseling
Thanks to modern HIPAA compliant secure video platforms, we’re able to provide our counseling services on a more flexible schedule to anyone in the State of Florida. Video counseling is as simple as completing electronic paperwork and downloading the secure app that allows for telehealth.
Due to our busy lives, video counseling can ease the stress of trying to make it to an in-person appointment. The online counseling session time can be flexible including after hours and/or weekends. Video counseling allows you the freedom to not interrupt your schedule and still receive the same services as an in-person counseling session.
These online counseling sessions are offered to teens and adults who have busy schedules, may live in remote areas, or have difficulty finding an experienced therapist near them. Not having to go to an in-person session can lower anxiety for those that may not feel comfortable driving or sitting in a waiting room full of people.
Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD)
Being certified in dealing with a crisis situation from the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation, Inc (ICISF) allows us to be part of a group that provides support after a traumatic situation has occurred. These services are offered upon request.
