Top in-person Florida therapists who accept cash payments

My name is Toccara G. Jones. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC); I have experience providing supportive counseling to individuals, families, and groups from middle childhood through late adulthood with presenting concerns of trauma, substance use, grief, and serious mental illness. I use Person-Centered Therapy along with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to explore, address, and challenge underlying issues causing distress and maladaptive behaviors. I believe that people are equipped with unique strengths and are innately resilient in overcoming their presenting concerns.

Hello My name is Gerquel Bowman. I am a LPC who enjoys helping others. I have been a License Professional Counselor for 2 years. The population I served are children, adolescents and adults. I specialized in Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Mood Disorder, Life Issues, Women Issues, and Trauma. My theoretical framework is Cognitive Behavioral Techniques and Mindfulness Technique. One important thing I emphasized in my therapeutic model is building rapport. Building rapport with your therapist is everything. This is important because it does affect one's treatment outcome. I always focus on the client's well being and what can make them a better person as well.

I primarily use CBT and Psychodynamic theory when working with clients. I believe in being very direct and blunt with clients as this will help them grow. I don't beat around the bush or allow clients to get away with self-deception and confront their irrational and dysfunctional belief systems. I am comfortable treating a variety of symptoms and conditions. I believe in creating a safe space for clients to express themselves however they need to. This encourages growth and trust in the therapeutic alliance. I encourage clients to set the goals they want to reach. This is their process. Wherever they want to go, I will help them get there. I tell my clients I am the car. They are the driver. We go to the destination they determine. The first session with me is information gathering so I will be asking a lot of questions and they will be doing most of the talking.

I believe that everyone is deserving of a safe place to work through life’s difficulties so I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that promotes one’s highest potential. A holistic approach is utilized to demonstrate how powerful connectivity of the mind, body, and spirit can be in the healing process and with equipping oneself in successful goal achievement. I have walked alongside many young adults, mature adults, and couples through difficult periods of life, transitions, and choices. Therapy is viewed as a joint venture where combined knowledge and skills are used to determine the best path of treatment and successful outcomes across all gender, cultural, and sexuality spectrums. My therapeutic style is centered around respect, understanding, sincerity, and providing a unique perspective to any challenge experienced. My goal is to help people better understand themselves so they can feel more fulfilled as an individual, partner, and/or professional.

Three words that describe my style are person-centered, warm, caring. My approach: 1) I never pathologize the client. 2) I look for the good, and I always find it. 3) I look for your strengths and competencies. 4) I work alongside you. You know yourself best. 5) We might even laugh in our sessions. I was a former divorced, single parent and I've been in a blended family now for 34 years. I know blended families, divorce, parenting, women's issues. I'm as human as you are; I've had my own counseling in the past. I listen and I am not going to judge you. As a trauma therapist, I respect how the brain is marvelously hardwired to move in the direction of healing, and I never pathologize a client's attempts at survival and coping. Welcome!

I’m a queer-identified therapist who is passionate about creating a safe, affirming space for LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and adolescents, as well as people in non-traditional relationships—including polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, and kink.

Whether you're exploring your identity, managing emotional overwhelm, or navigating complex relational dynamics, my goal is to support you with compassion and evidence-based care.
