Winter Park Marriage Counselor EMDR Trauma Child Teen Therapist

Why has the TV News Media interviewed our counselors 200 times about ADHD, anxiety, depression, defiance, trauma, video game addictions and marriage?

Well at TLC we take the guesswork out of finding the right counselor by hiring experts that have extensive experience in their specialty so you can get results right away! Our licensed mental health counselor specialists have years of experience and are called by the media for their expertise in the areas of relationships, addictions, abuse, trauma, depression, ADHD, and more in the Central Florida area! Our Winter Park couples counseling services include Gottman Method marriage counseling, premarital counseling, couples therapy, family counseling, divorce counseling, anxiety disorders, intervention counseling and more in the Winter Park area.

Having Bad side effects to Medication but need something to help with ADHD, Depression, Anxiety or Mood Disorders?

At TLC we have an Alternative to Medication Approach.

Some of our client report having a bad reaction to medications for mental health issues and we have our clients try a holistic approach and in many cases our clients do not need as much medication or may not need it at all. The president of Total Life Counseling Center Jim West has been called the Defiant Teen Whisperer because of his expertise in working with Oppositional Defiant Children and Teens. Often clients have tried many different medications for ADHD or Anxiety or Depression only to have really bad side effects. So Jim has consulted with many doctors over the years and has found ways to treat ADHD, Depression, Anxiety & Mood Disorder with supplements and diet changes.

Sports Counseling and Mental Toughness

He has used this Alternative approach to help with Sport Psychology and Mental Toughness as well to calm down and not be so hard on themselves.  The best athletes are perfectionists and need a balance of working hard to be their personal best without beating themselves up!  Using supplements to help to calm our athletes down helps them to find that balance along with some John Wooden “Competitive Greatness” principles.

How can our winter park counselors help with marriage, trauma, anxiety, and depression for children teens and adults?

Like other forms of couples therapy, can offer significant support to individuals and couples dealing with trauma, anxiety, and depression, both individually and within the context of their relationship. Here’s how:

  1. Providing a Safe Space: Counseling creates a safe and confidential environment where both partners can express their feelings, thoughts, and concerns without judgment. This is particularly important when dealing with sensitive issues like trauma, anxiety, and depression.
  2. Improving Communication: Many couples struggle with communication, which can exacerbate individual issues like anxiety and depression. A marriage counselor can teach effective communication strategies, helping partners to understand each other’s experiences and needs better.
  3. Addressing Underlying Issues: Trauma, anxiety, and depression can stem from or be worsened by underlying relationship issues. Counseling can help uncover and address these underlying problems, which might include unresolved conflicts, unmet needs, or dysfunctional patterns of interaction.
  4. Developing Coping Strategies: Counselors can equip couples with coping strategies and tools to manage symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and depression. This might include stress-reduction techniques, mindfulness, and ways to support each other during difficult times.
  5. Strengthening the Relationship: The stress of dealing with mental health issues can strain relationships. Marriage counseling can help strengthen the bond between partners by fostering understanding, empathy, and support, which are crucial for navigating mental health challenges together.
  6. Trauma-Informed Care: Specifically for trauma, counselors trained in trauma-informed care can help individuals and couples understand how trauma impacts their relationship and individual behaviors. They can work through trauma-related issues in a way that’s sensitive to the trauma survivor’s needs.
  7. Referral to Individual Therapy: Sometimes, issues like severe depression, anxiety, or trauma may require individual therapy in addition to couples counseling. A marriage counselor can recognize when this is the case and refer one or both partners to appropriate individual therapy.
  8. Enhancing Emotional Intimacy: By working through issues together in therapy, couples can enhance their emotional intimacy and connection, which can be a powerful antidote to feelings of isolation that often accompany depression and anxiety.
  9. Creating a Supportive Environment: For someone dealing with mental health challenges, knowing that their partner understands and supports them can be incredibly healing. Counseling can help create this supportive environment within the relationship.

It’s important to choose a marriage counselor who is experienced in dealing with trauma, anxiety, and depression, and who can provide a therapeutic approach that’s tailored to the couple’s specific needs and situations.
