Clermont FL Child Counseling & Therapy
Total Life Counseling Clermont provides Child ADHD Anxiety, Depression, Defiance, Divorce, Trauma, Abuse, Children’s Play Therapy, and Depression Therapy services to the Minneola, Groveland, Taveres and Leesburg, Florida areas.
Do you, as a parent, wonder why your children or child is acting a certain way? Do you wish you knew how to talk to them about their depression, grief, anxiety, or anger after some type of big event? No matter the problem, counseling could be your solution. But how do you know where to turn?
Children are our future! Children also tend to be the love of a parent’s life, and parents desire what is best for their child. However, no two children are exactly the same, and so they might need more attention or a individualized approach.
Our expert counselors and therapists are specialized in many mental health issues utilizing various approaches including play therapy, Reactive attachment Disorder (RAD), day camps, summer camps and traditional therapies. Our counselors provide ADHD Anxiety Depression Defiance Children’s Therapy & Counseling Services in Clermont, Groveland & Minneola, Florida FL.
Finding the Right Counselor
Deciding to seek out counseling can be very scary, but picking out a specific counselor can sometimes be even scarier. The media has called our TLC experts for over 150 news interviews because of our strong reputation and expertise and you can call us too! You can be sure that your child is receiving the best care possible with our TLC counselors. We have a highly qualified staff that is full of caring and approachable individuals. These very counselors are often asked to provide advice on local news networks, print media, and radio, as well as speak at various conferences and seminars across the state of Florida. We often hear that it is easy to relate and open up to our counselors, and that is something that we take great pride in. But what makes Total Life Counseling a different, interactive counseling experience?
The TLC Difference!
Our Child Therapists go beyond meeting with your child, they get to know them in a much more creative way, then just talking. Our counselors go beyond traditional therapies and incorporate special techniques!
Special Techniques like recreation therapy, play therapy, interactive games, and more! Total Life Counseling therapists interact with the child and make a connection while also making therapy comfortable and fun. Our child therapists often use groups, retreats, and camps to help the children while in a more social environment, not just within the walls of the counseling center. Your child will connect, learn, and have fun all while getting the benefits of counseling.
Holistic Approach | Total Life Counseling is unique as we use a more holistic approach when it comes to medication. Our therapists use dietary changes, vitamins, supplements, and behavior modification before turning to any type of medication. As a result, 85% of our ADHD clients have been able to get off of medication or reduce their medications! Often times the medication cause side effects which may make kids worse!

Testimonials
A Few Kind Words From Satisfied Clients
“”Wanted to thank you for recommending Jaime Barrett. She was awesome. She did a great job with Ashley. She is so much calmer already [after one session] and slept so much better last night. We will see her next week as well. She is also complaining way less of her pain and stopped the moaning for the most part.””

“Well let me start by letting you know i have been blessed. I went to court in August and was alittle scared, I saw my daughters mother attorney and the mother of my daughters prepared to battle full custody. I gave [TLC’s Counselors Report] the report to my attorney and she immediately gave a copy to the attorney representing the mother of my daughter. At that point the mother [x-wife] put her head down and indicated to her attorney to give me what i want. I could not beleived it, she gave me the custody after a 5 yr battle. Your report was seen by both attorneys and by the judge who indicated the report came from someone with excellent credentials and that it was very strong in my favor. I don’t have words to express my gratitude for your excellent service. You just saved 3 small childrens future/lives. This world needs more people like you and i hope total life counseling knows what a great asset they have, Thank you.”

Parent of Boys
“Jim, you’re such a “valuable tool” even though some of the things you explained to our son, his dad and I have explained many times, for some reason they just “get it” better when it comes from a neutral third party. It’s great, the way you get “right into their life using humor” and you start building that “trust” and “respect.” You definitely have a “Gift,” I’m just so thankful we’ve been given an opportunity to see that “gift” working in our lives.”
Parent
“So glad you duked it out with us. You always gave way above and beyond what I think most in your field would have. And I don’t think anyone else could have reached our teenage son as you did. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.”
