Seeking assistance to manage life’s stressors, or cope with a major life event, can be difficult. Maybe you aren’t sure your situation could change. Perhaps you feel as though you “should” be able to go at it alone. Working together, you can feel more empowered and more in control of your life. You can get better. You can feel better. Your life can be more fulfilling. My name is Colette McLeod and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the Central Florida area. I have experience working with a wide variety of people and issues including trauma, severe mental illness or addiction issues, work-life balance issues, and interpersonal/relationship problems. I provide individualized care with a focus on your specific strengths and abilities. I utilize a range of treatment methodologies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (discussing Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors), Mindfulness (increasing non-judgmental awareness), Solution-Focused methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (developing Wise Mind), and Motivational Interviewing approaches in my work with adult clients. My techniques are based on a variety of modalities to best support you living a full, balanced, and meaningful life. Together, we will discuss your goals, your challenges, and your plans. I am looking forward to working with you.
