Change is possible
Depression and anxiety can impact us at any age, any stage of life. To be healthy, we must take care of not only our physical health, but also our emotional health. If one is neglected the other will suffer. Change occurs when we take that first step into treatment.
Therapy Process
My clients can expect confidentiality, respect, compassion, and integrity.
I believe that good therapy is a collaborative process that leads to change through challenging negative thinking habits, developing new perspectives, insights, and behaviors.
Before scheduling an appointment, I’ll want to talk with you briefly over the phone to determine whether I’m a good fit for your particular issues and needs. Please call me at (321) 409-0256 or email at beckie@mcwellnessflorida.com. If I'm unable to answer, feel free to leave a confidential message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
About Me
Thank you for taking the time to find out more about me. It’s important to find a counselor with whom you feel comfortable and whose skills and interests match your needs.
I received my Bachelors and Masters degree from the University of Central Florida. I am a licensed clinical social worker with an extensive background in individual and group counseling; helping adults navigate the complications life brings and the emotions triggered as we transition into different phases of life. I practice therapy modalities such as solutions focused and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques; however I am most passionate about EMDR. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a highly efficient and effective approach in helping clients recover from past or recent traumatic experiences, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and a range of other issues. I am a certified EMDR therapist and have been using this modality since 2016.

Did you know that Medicare covers counseling?
From the minute we are born our lives are full of transitions, but the transition into late adulthood can sometimes be the most challenging.
Significant life changes such as retirement, physical health, changes in family dynamics and traditional family roles occur. Other significant changes also include grief/loss, changes in cognition, loss of independence, isolation and loneliness.
Therapy can help older adults manage their emotions, find new sources of enjoyment and meaning, and find new support systems. It can help people process grief and adjust to change . Family and/or individual therapy can also help family members who may be caretakers of their elder relatives, as it can assist them in dealing with their emotions, develop positive communication skills and learn about community resources.
