Are you ready to learn how to take care of yourself as well as you take care of others?
I’m a trauma therapist specializing in maternal/perinatal mental health, women's health issues, chronic illness, infertility, life transitions, anxiety, pregnancy, military and veteran issues, childhood trauma, birth trauma, parenting issues, and adoption trauma. I show up to each session as my authentic self because I know it is important for you to trust and relate to your therapist. I also want to break the myth that any person is perfect or immune to triggers. Living life after trauma is really hard! Let’s build your coping strategies, improve the way you navigate relationships, and break cycles.
I created Growth and Wellness so that I can help the traumatized, perfectionist, anxiety-driven woman take back her life.
Trauma has a way of stunting our growth and destroying every relationship we care about. I want to help women break patterns that are preventing them from being the person and mother that they want to be. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I offer individual therapy to help you create the life you want and stop trauma from interfering. I am highly trained in several therapeutic modalities and I tailor my approach specifically to you. Every person has their own story and identity, I know that you don’t want a “cookie cutter approach” for your trauma.
Meet Tisheila
I am trained in multiple cognitive and somatic therapies to help treat trauma and help improve the mind body connection. Some of the trainings include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback (HRV), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Guided Imagery, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Perinatal Mental Health Psychotherapy, Attachment Theory, Positive Psychology, Trained Clinical Trauma Specialist, and Mindfulness. I am also a Qualified Clinical Supervisor providing supervision to social workers seeking licensure in the state of Florida.
In my professional career, I've done a lot of different things besides being a therapist. I worked in the school system, foster care/ adoptions system, acute care hospital setting, Emergency Department, Veterans Affairs, and I supervised several outpatient mental health clinics. I gained knowledge in every position that I have held. I am passionate about helping you overcome any barriers that are preventing you from leaving maladaptive coping strategies in the past.
