During her academic career she also worked for a Christian Ministry in South Florida which provides residential treatment for teenagers with behavioral problems as well as special support services for single parents.

Additionally, Linda has extensive experience working with special needs students and emotionally handicapped children: Her experience includes working in various school systems, including an inner-city school, a psychiatric center, and teaching Special Education as a Job Placement Transition Specialist at a the high school level. Currently she is employed as a School Social Worker as well as offering counseling services through her solo private practice: Therapeutic Counseling Services, LLC.

Linda loves what she does and states, “I honestly care about all of my clients, and I try with all of my heart to help each person to become the best they can be…” In counseling with Linda you can expect her to help you to identify your strengths and weaknesses, be solution focused, and gentle in her approach as she encourages you to move forward from your struggles and learn better ways of dealing with things on an independent level.

In working with adults, she strives to make each person feel safe and comfortable and secure. The office environment has dim lit lights, soothing music, a comfortable sofa to sit on and bottled water to drink all to help provide a place where you can share your deep inner thoughts.

In working with children, Linda recognizes that children often release their thoughts and feelings differently than adults and one of the ways they do this is through play. Since safety and comfort are as important to children as adults,she also provides toys, games, a sand tray and craft materials to assist them to either talk about their feelings or work through them in play. Respecting each child’s right to talk about things when they are ready is paramount to Linda’s approach with children.

In coordination with her education, life experiences and relationship with God, one of Linda’s strengths is to easily make personal connections with most of her clients. She would be especially honored to have the opportunity to assist you with whatever struggles or situation you may be experiencing.

Having a commitment and desire to make some changes in your life is instrumental to helping you accomplish your goals.

Michele has been in private practice, as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida since 2000. With a background in massage therapy, she is uniquely qualified to address mind/body issues in counseling. Additionally, she works with chronic pain and health concerns through a body-focused awareness.

Michele is a Christian and therefore can address issues from a biblical point of view. Depression, anxiety, stress or fear (or whatever issue you are dealing with) can all be used by Christ to transform us into what He wants us to be. Counseling is an exploration of you. Discovering how you cope, what brings you joy and what needs have to be met for you.

She has some basic principals that create her foundation of counseling. One foundational truth is we have feelings, we are not our feelings. We have thoughts, we are not our thoughts. Becoming aware of thoughts and feelings, knowing the difference and then challenging them, as to whether or not those thoughts and feeling are accurate is paramount in understanding who we are and how we see ourselves and others.Michele has an eclectic style of counseling. She is intuitive and has created a safe place for you to express your concerns.

Life is a journey. Lets learn to enjoy the road on which we travel.

Michele would love to have the opportunity to work with you through any medium: in person, over the phone 407-870-2223 or via email at mrkrat at aol.com.
