You might feel anxious, depressed, or unsure about your next steps, always there for others but never for yourself. Past issues may be holding you back, or you struggle with conflict and assertiveness, affecting your relationships. Individual therapy gives you dedicated time to be heard and reflect with a skilled therapist, helping uncover and address unwanted behavior patterns, improving relationships, and revealing your path forward. Therapy is a journey of self-discovery and support, affirming your right to happiness and fulfillment. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy; it’s also a space for self-development with a caring counselor. Our therapists support you in healing, building esteem, and creating a more joyful, authentic life.

We function in groups (family, school, friends, work) yet often face unspoken rules and norms that confuse and hurt us. Individually, we harbor false assumptions about what others think of us and frequently misdiagnose how others experience us. Group therapy is a safe place to get authentic feedback and learn how we’re perceived by others. You develop intimacy and communication skills that improve all your relationships. Group therapy can transform lives by fostering improved relationships, better social skills, warmer friendships, reduced anxiety or depressive symptoms, and personal growth. It’s a powerful complement to individual work. All our therapists are experienced in group therapy, and Lisa is a Certified Group Psychotherapist (CGP) and expert in the field.

We often lack the skills needed for thriving relationships, leading us to replicate dysfunctional patterns from our upbringing. Wolcott Counseling & Wellness therapists help improve relationship dynamics in a secure, confidential environment. We provide a safe space to examine conflict, trust, communication, intimacy, finances, and life transitions. You’ll learn to express needs and improve listening skills. Great relationships take work, but the investment is worth it! You don’t have to wait for a crisis to seek couples therapy. Being proactive helps avoid crises and prevents damage to your relationship. Our therapists use evidence-based methods like the Gottman Method and are affirming and kink-positive.

Co-parenting after separation or divorce is challenging, but the key to children’s mental health is minimizing conflict between parents. Florida Family Court requires all divorcing couples with minor children to complete a DCF-approved Parenting Education and Family Stabilization class. Lisa Wolcott, certified by the Florida Department of Children and Families, offers an online course in English and Spanish, available here. You don’t need to be court-mandated or in Florida to take the course. Invest in your child’s mental wellness by reducing conflict with your ex-spouse.

Anxiety is the most common reason for seeking therapy, and our Wolcott Counseling & Wellness counselors are trained to help. We address issues like sleep disturbances, panic attacks, racing thoughts, worry, stress, physical symptoms, fear of public speaking or social interactions, avoiding challenges, feeling hopeless, and difficulty controlling thoughts. Using techniques like breathing exercises, mindfulness, progressive relaxation, IFS, Sensorimotor therapy, CBT, and ERP, we help you manage, understand, and prevent anxiety. Our counselors teach you to recognize triggers and provide tools to interrupt the anxiety response, manage stress, and live with more ease and confidence. Our goal is for you to leave therapy equipped to live free of disabling anxiety.

By identifying the causes and triggers of your depression, we explore the most effective treatments, focusing on your strengths and eliminating obstacles.
