Total Life Counseling Provides Hope, Healing and Support in a Warm, Approachable Way.

Dawn Helwig is such a caring and compassionate therapist. She really connects with my daughter and my daughter loves her. Dawn is very quick to reply when issues arise and always willing to give insight on how best to handle difficult situations. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have found her.

We've been taking our son here for a while now and it's really helping. He's a complex kid with a lot of thoughts and emotions. Jim has done a great job creating a relationship with him. He's doing so much better emotionally and behaviorally. His communication skills have really improved as well! Jim has also helped us understand him and find the best ways to communicate with him effectively. Our son is getting better and so are we. We have no plans to stop anytime soon and we are incredibly thankful!

My son has greatly benefited and improved his anxiety and stress levels with the help of Total Life Counseling and Jim West. He keeps my 7 year old very engaged and my son enjoys going for his therapy sessions.

We have referred several clients to Family Life Counseling Center and we received great feedback about their services and fantastic team. Highly recommend!

Anna Vita is compassionate, intuitive, brilliant, caring and kind. For anyone who has experienced trauma Anna is an amazing professional who can help you take charge of our life again.

Total life counseling has the warmest receptionists in the business. Personally I come to every appointment 20 minutes early just to chat with them, they are the best!🤣❤️ Their choice in background music is so soothing and always makes my visit! I cant imagine what TLC would be like with out the backbone of their business, these outstanding young men and women, who call themselves: receptionists.

TLC has been such a great thing for our nephew we got custody over. Brandon has helped walk him through a lot. He’s 12 years old and going from worries of power being on and which parent was in jail. Now he’s been going for the last few months and he is understanding he can be a child rather a grown up. Brandon has gotten him to open up and learning to communicate with us. We can thank Brandon enough.

Patient of Anna Vita I have been a patient of Anna Vita for more than two years. I met her when my health, professional and family life had collapsed at the same time. Anna walked me through this nightmare and made me become a much stronger, complete and fulfilled person, learning how to adjust to my new condition. I strongly recommend Anna.

I have been seeing Anna for about 8 months now, when I originally started seeing her I was lost anxious depressed and just overall did not see what the point of life was. She has taught me so many amazing tools to help with my anxiety and depression, shes given me direction when I need it, told me when im not coping in a healthy way and always makes me feel heard understood and validated. We also do EMDR every once and awhile which has helped a lot with my traumas. I genuinely owe so much to Anna because without her I would not be in the place I am mentally, I have never felt this happy or free in my entire life. I am getting to know who I am more and more everyday. I 100% recommend TLC, Anna especially but the all of the staff are very nice and welcoming. Overall my experience here couldn't be better.

Anna introduced me to EMDR. EMDR is a client driven process. Going through the process is an ongoing journey of self discovery & healing. After several weeks of EMDR, I now have a positive outlook on life. I feel renewed with more clarity, self- awareness, & empowerment. Thank you Anna for guiding me through this process.

Jim and his team are great and I highly recommend them.

Jim West is an icon. He is the man, the myth, the legend. I’m so grateful to have worked with a 6’4” beastly demigod that we call Jim. He is super kind and caring. 10/10 experience he is fabulous. If you are looking for a outstanding, professional, and compassionate therapist, your search is over... Jim west is your man. He has absolutely transformed my life, I don’t know where I would be without him.

Anna Vita is an amazing therapist who is genuinely invested in the success and peace of her clients. She is warm, caring and you know she is intentionally listening to better understand your personal experience. I’m sincerely grateful for the journey and the growth I’ve experienced alongside her and know that I’m a better person because of it.

I have been seeing Anna Vita for about three years and she is one of the best counselors I have ever worked with. Anna really helps you see things inside yourself and helps you realize that you have the tools to improve yourself. She introduced me to EMDR therapy which has been a truly life changing method for me. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who is experiencing PTSD, depression and/or anxiety, she will help you change your life for the better, and for good.

We started seeing Jim West last year, at the suggestion of our wonderful holistic doctor (who also works in conjunction with Jim). His expertise in child ADHD/Autism has helped immensely with our 6 year old twins behavior issues. He doesn't focus on changing the children, but more equipping parents with an arsenal of tools to help handle any given situation in a calm, effective manor. He is incredibly thorough with his advice and even goes the extra mile to email the suggestions talked about it in the session, which allows for a refresher in remembering what to say and do when situations arise. I have learned so much from him and it has made a HUGE difference in how we handle things at home, and, in turn, how our children respond. It's truly made us more responsive and understanding and less reactive, which ultimately has cultivated a calmer household. I HIGHLY recommend Jim West to anyone in search of help with parenting special needs children. He is a true gem in our community.

Both of my daughters, 19 & 16 years of age love Jim West and his team, they highly recommend TLC counseling and so do I. Great mentoring and parenting tips to make the teenage years smooth sailing, thanks Jim

I have worked with Jim for several years through the social skills groups and camps. He is a compassionate individual who deeply cares for his clients. It is always a pleasure and fulfilling experience when working with TLC.

5 STARS!!!! I am loving what I am learning from this program, it is empowering my son to take ownership and better understand himself, and how to do what is best for him, and for us as parents to help and support him.

Anna Vita is an amazing counselor. She is compassionate and empathetic and kind. She helps one think of things they wouldn’t normally and is a great help in my self growth. She is a great partner for the change in myself I am looking for. I think she would be extremely helpful to anyone who comes to see her. I recommend her highly. Why walk your path to self discovery alone? You could have an excellent navigator along the way.

I reached out to Jim and his team at a vulnerable time in life when I really needed some help as I walked through some difficult times. Jim and a fellow councilor were super receptive and helped me unpack a lot of difficult stuff and I couldn’t be more thankful. Their care for their clients is evident in every interaction and it provided a safe place to learn and grow. Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for a great team to work through life stuff with.

Was recently introduced to Jim West by a great friend of mine who like me refers clients needing mental health and substance abuse counseling all over the state. Can't say enough about Jim's personality and passion for helping people. TLC's team of professionals will certainly make the difference when dealing with the toughest obstacles life can produce. Look forward to using Jim West and TLC's resources for clients I'm so fortunate to help in the future.

Jim really has the experience and training to do what is best for our children, and makes sure that they have a sense of purpose and empowerment to succeed! I cannot recommend him highly enough! I wish that there were more dedicated counselors that get to the source of the problem, like he does!

Jim helped my teenage daughter get her life back. She was on numerous medications to help manage her mood swings. With Jim's guidance we were able to put together a specific strategy for her growth. She is off all medications and thriving. She is much more clear headed and taking responsibility for her actions.

The staff here is very kind and they have helped me so much and I’m glad that I was able to find Total Life Counseling! When thinking as a 19 year old making a transition into adult hood, Jim West and TLC were able to help me see a different path to take and has lead me into a career and a future I wouldn't have foreseen without there help. Even now when I'm not physically in Florida, I am still on the phone with Jim West to keep branching and exercising my mind to stay healthy. Jim West as a individual person is one of the most down to earth and humble person I've ever met in my life time. I am very glad that I was able to take the step as a person to get into counseling because it has opened up so many doors for me all because of Jim and his amazing staff. If any person is able to turn a life around and make you think about different outcomes then Total Life Counseling is the place for you. I have been held accountable to the point that I've been able to reassess my own actions and life, being able to make a complete U-turn into being able to have the confidence and self-belief that I can be whatever I put my mind to and striving for greatness!
