Choosing the Right Counselor

Deciding to seek out counseling can be very scary, but picking out a specific counselor can sometimes be even scarier. Here at Total Life Counseling you can be sure that your child is receiving the best care possible. 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 Counselors not only meet with your children, they get to know them in a much more exciting way then just talking. Our therapists go beyond traditional therapies and incorporate special techniques!

Special Techniques like play therapy, recreation therapy, video games, interactive games, and more! TLC child therapists interact with the children and make a connection while also making counseling 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. Popcorn, Xbox, and humor are a usual experience in a counseling session at our center. Your children will learn, connect, and have fun all while getting the benefits of counseling.

Holistic Approach | Another thing that TLC does differently is we use a more holistic approach when it comes to medication. Our counselors like to use dietary changes, vitamins, supplements, and behavior modification before turning to any type of medical referrals. Due to this, 85% of our ADHD clients have been able to get off of or reduce their medications!

Experienced Counselors

Our expert counselors and therapists are specialized in many mental health issues utilizing various approaches including play therapy, video games, recreation, day camps, summer camps and traditional therapies. Our counselors provide ADHD Anxiety Depression Defiance Children’s Therapy & Counseling Services in Southwest Orlando, Winter Park, Clermont, Lake Mary & East Orlando Florida FL.

It is said that children are our future, a simple phrase that couldn’t be truer. Children also tend to be the love of a parent’s life, and parents always want what is best for their children. However, no two children are exactly the same, and some might need a little extra attention. Do you, as a parent, wonder why your child is acting a certain way? Are you not sure how to talk to them about their anger, grief, or depression after some type of big event? No matter the problem, counseling could be your solution. But how do you know where to turn?
