Counseling Services for Individuals:
As a mental health counselor, I utilize several techniques designed to begin communication surrounding conflicts in my client's life and encourage insight to possible solutions to problems. The goal is to relieve the symptoms and change behaviors that will lead to improved functioning and personal growth.
Family and Couples Counseling Services:
Family therapy involves discussion and problem-solving sessions with the family or couple. I meet with clients as members of a group or in one on one sessions. Interpersonal relationships are explored and communication strengthened within the family.
Services for Children and Adolescents:
I am an advocate for children, adolescents and families. As a therapist, I work to develop strategies for producing change in the client including focusing on the present, reframing negativity in the childs life, shifting patterns of interaction through reversals of undesirable behavior and opening up closed family relationships.
Fees are within industry standards. Victim Compensation and sliding scale fees are available. Free initial phone consultation will help you decide if I am able to meet your needs.
Testimonials
Testimonial for Adolescent Counseling:
I just want to thank you for meeting with Jane and me last night. We both left the meeting feeling a sense of hope and optimism-something we haven't felt for a while regarding Jane and her life. You created a very warm and comfortable environment for Jane and I was amazed how much she opened up. I tried to mostly just stay out of it, because I heard her taking ownership of many things that happened and heard the beginnings of her desire to set a different course. As a mother, I am especially grateful to you as you reach out to my beautiful daughter and provide her encouragement and ideas to move her ahead in her life. Thanks again.
Testimonials for Using Neurofeedback with Autistic clients:
8 year old Autistic Client "Just wanted to update you that this past week, after Jessie's session with you, she attended her regular speech session. She seemed more alert, with more timely processing and responses to verbal stimuli. She was happy and very polite. Her accuracy levels were likewise improved. Previously, she has had Tuesday sessions with tearful emotions, however, this was probably her best session to date. I thought you might appreciate the update."
Speech Therapist in Jacksonville, FL
7 year old Autistic Client "He is very lovable and has started to make eye contact when addressing me and giving me hugs, which he didn't do last year. I have seen tremendous gains in John. Keep up the GOOD WORK!"
Teacher in Jacksonville, FL
8 year old Autistic Client "After my client received Neurofeedback, I definitely noticed that he has been able to initiate more speech in conversation and in structured speech task settings. He responds much better to verbal cues and imitation of correct speech patterns. He continues to improve on his ability to answer What and How questions as well."
About Maureen
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor working in a private practice setting at the beaches. My sessions are comfortable and open. I can focus your needs to traditional Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Hypnosis and Neurofeedback.
As a Board Certified Practitioner in Clinical Hypnosis, I specialize in an exciting new form of treatment pioneered by Jon Connelly, called Rapid Resolution Therapy. When something is traumatic is slams into your awareness and leaves a lasting impression. This therapy eliminates the negative behavioral and emotional influence of traumatic events by leading the patient to the realization that past events no longer need to affect the present situation. People no longer cling to thoughts that do not exist, but rather lie in the immediate present with clarity and hope.
I am a trained clinician in Neurofeedback, a brain training technique, where a person can learn to change his or her predominant brainwave pattern. By using computer-aided game simulations and brain wave monitoring software, clients learn to correct unbalanced or inconsistent brainwave patterns. My use of Neurofeedback helps clients relieve stress and anxiety and enables patients to experience a feeling of balance and flexibility.
My experience as a therapist in the Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization programs at the Riverpoint Behavioral hospital let me help people readjust to their lives after in-patient treatments. As a therapist at Wekiva Springs Hospital, I work specifically with patients suffering from addictions who are working their way through recovery.
I am a graduate from the University of North Florida with a Masters of Education in Mental Health Counseling and a member of the Chi Sigma Iota Honor Society. My undergraduate degree in elementary education is from Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
I have tremendous respect for people who come to see me. I work collaboratively with children, adolescents and adults, in individual, couples, and family therapy sessions, to help them feel at peace and develop new levels personal freedom.
