Meet Rebecca Maxwell

Hi, my name is Sara Hart and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, license number MH 21330, in the state of Florida. After receiving my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of North Florida, I worked as a teacher in early education. A strong desire to further support children and their families with additional social, behavioral, and emotional challenges further led me to seek and obtain my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University.

​

My approach to counseling is client-centered, utilizing informed research-based methods that are developmentally appropriate for the individual and their desired outcomes. My goal is to offer a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore, grow and learn, as they move toward greater clarity and connection in their lives and relationships. Some of my treatment approaches include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused therapy, Emotion Focused therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and therapy through play with children.  

​

I recognize the brokenness in this world and believe that one of the greatest gifts therapy can provide is renewed hope. My Christian faith affirms that Jesus is at the center of God’s great story of redemption and salvation. I believe that we are able to draw truth and wisdom from God’s word, and at the request of the client would be happy to integrate a Biblical worldview during sessions.

If you have any questions about my services or scheduling, please feel free to reach out to me at sara.allencounseling@gmail.com.

Hello and welcome! I am so excited that you are here. My name is Garlyn Lawrence and I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in the state of Florida, license IMH 20240. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Liberty University and my master’s degree in professional Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University.

 

Prior to my experience as a counselor, I have worked with children with disabilities in the school setting and had the opportunity to volunteer in the juvenile jail center. I have learned that everyone you meet has a unique story that matters. My passion as a counselor is to hear your story, walk with you through your pain, and to help bring about hope, healing, and personal growth. Some of the techniques that I often utilize are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Talk-Therapy.

 

As I love working with individuals, I also have a heart for couples and pre-marital counseling with a deep desire to help find the strengths in your relationship and learn how to use them in a way that brings healing and a deeper understanding of one another.

 

I believe that Jesus Christ is the ultimate counselor and comforter. So, with the permission of the client, I enjoy incorporating the truth of His word, and encouraging you through His unconditional love for you. If you have any further questions regarding my services, I would love to answer those for you. I can be reached at glawrencecounseling@gmail.com.

Thank you for stopping by and hope to hear from you soon!

Hi, my name is Tesa Saulmon and I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, license number MH22565, in the state of Florida.

​

My mission is to alleviate your overwhelm and boost your confidence as you navigate life's challenges. There's no manual for life, and it's easy to feel lost. But with my client-centered approach, I empower you to conquer whatever comes your way. Think of me as your guide, holding the flashlight as you explore new paths.

​

Imagine feeling fulfilled, encouraged, and confident as you wade through the muck of life. By discovering more about yourself and what works for you, you can reclaim the life you've always dreamed of. Together, we'll use psychoeducation, perspective, and support to help you get there.

​

I know it takes courage to ask for help, and change can be scary. That's why I offer a free 15-minute consultation through my website (link on the left). Let's chat and see if we're a good fit. Together, we can help you find your way.

​

I believe in a client-centered approach to counseling. My experience has led me to specialize in working with individuals who have experienced past traumas, including sexual trauma, betrayal trauma and infidelity, and addictions. My primary goal is to provide a safe and compassionate environment where individuals can begin their healing journey through curiosity, personal development, and learning. I believe that the life we want is within reach, and I am committed to helping my clients discover it.

 

If the client desires, I am more than willing to incorporate a Christian perspective into our sessions. My personal faith has been a source of comfort and strength during times when it felt like nothing could improve. I firmly believe that Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for us, and that God's word offers us compassion, understanding, and forgiveness. In my opinion, God is the ultimate counselor, and by allowing Him to guide us through our struggles with hurt, pain, and loss, we can find the light that will lead us out of the darkness.

​

My modality is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a future-focused, goal-directed therapy to help clients formulate, implement, achieve and sustain desired behavioral change. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, paired with motivational interviewing with a client, to identify what they want to change behaviorally. Emphasizing exploring communicational styles, core values and consistent habits foundationally based in increased insight and growth in honesty, faith/hope, surrendering, soul searching, integrity, acceptance, humility, willingness, forgiveness, maintenance, purpose and service.

Hi there. I see you. I’m so glad you are here. You are not alone (or weird).  We are experiencing a rise in anxiety, depression, trauma and several other complications that can make life seem- well- hazy or gray. I too have experienced feelings of being “stuck” in my head and even in my career.

 

I’m Julie. I came to counseling later in life and bring a veritable cornucopia of knowledge and lived experience to my practice. Born in South Carolina to a less than perfect family, I married young, had children young, served in the Army as Human Intelligence Collector and Korean Linguist, with various nonprofits, and in vocational ministry. I’ve planned and led mission trips, taught soldiers, finished my master’s degree in clinical Mental Health at Liberty University and am now a Registered Counselor Intern in Florida and an LPC-A in Texas.

 

I am trained in several interventions. We may choose to use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness (one of my favorite tools the TRIPP VR Mindfulness app) or outdoor therapy to meet your specific desire.

 

Passionate and hopeful about the challenges that military families, teens, the foster involved, and the corrections involved usually face, I work with clients through relationship and science. Using skill, intuition, assessments and data to discuss the ways you operate within the world, together we can determine how to help you walk more aligned with your personal values and at peace, regardless of your circumstances.  

 

I have a “Gestalt orientation” that emphasizes the importance of the present moment experience, personal responsibility, and the therapeutic relationship. It is a powerful approach that can help individuals to gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to make positive changes in their lives. I believe that individuals are not just products of their past experiences but can actively shape their present and future by taking responsibility for their choices and actions.

 

I work to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we would focus on your immediate experience, rather than on abstract concepts or hypothetical situations, using experiential exercises in the safety of our space and relationship, such as role-playing or guided imagery, to help you explore and express your emotions and thoughts.

 

One of the key concepts of Gestalt therapy is the "unfinished business" or unresolved emotional experiences from the past that continue to affect the present. Together we can identify and work through these unresolved issues, to achieve closure and allow space for you to move forward in your life- obtaining peace, regardless.

 

If you’ve tried talking to your friends and family, tried ignoring it and “driving on”, if you’ve tried self-help books and apps- and you are still stuck, I’d love to meet you. Email me at julie@peaceregardless.com.

Julie is a masters-level clinician under the supervision of Rebecca Maxwell. She is currently awaiting the final approval from the board for her Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern license.
