Dr. John E. N. Daniel
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
Of the various marriage and couple therapies and models I have studied, I gravitate to the behavioral and emotion-centered approaches namely: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). In terms of the behavioral approaches, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and its “spin-offs” provide a wealth of applicability and contextual viability. In addition, I am attracted to this approach as a practitioner due to its high level of empirical validation.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Humans are hardwired for connection. We hope to be fully seen, understood, and accepted by those closest to us. And yet oftentimes our connections falter. Whether you are looking to address those seemingly unsolvable issues, mend past relational injuries, or strengthen your current bond, couples therapy offers a space fully dedicated to deepening your understanding of your relationship and each other. Our meaningful relationships are always worthy of time and attention.

Erica Brown
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPC, LMHC
You may know what you need from your relationships, but still find yourself staying quiet, over-giving, avoiding conflict, or taking responsibility for everyone else’s feelings. Together, we’ll explore where these patterns come from, what they’re trying to protect you from, and how you can begin relating to others without losing yourself in the process.

Hypnotherapist, Doctorate in Metaphysical Science, MSc.D. Clinical and Transpersonal Hypnotherapist CTHT
Couples need therapy too! That's right. I will help each partner find balance own balance within themselves, to help them to see clearly, and iron out personal troubles. Then the couple will begin therapies together and both will be much better at understanding and mending what seemed to once be broken.

Lakeland is a central Florida city between Tampa and Orlando in Polk County, home to Florida Southern College—notable for its large collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture—and serving as a significant logistics and distribution hub where Amazon, Publix, and other large employers have major operations, with a mental health landscape shaped by the economic pressures of both industrial work and rapidly rising costs of living in Florida's growing central corridor. The city has a diverse population with significant Black and Latino communities, and Lakeland Regional Health's behavioral health programs serve the community alongside a private therapy sector. The area's geography between two major metro areas means residents can access the larger therapy markets of Tampa and Orlando for more specialist care. Common therapy concerns include economic and workplace stress in a logistics and distribution economy, anxiety, family and relationship difficulties, and the mental health challenges of a rapidly growing central Florida city where housing costs are outpacing wages for many working residents.
