Karly Shreders

I believe in an individualized treatment plan tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. I specialize in depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, relationship issues, self-esteem, peer relationships, anger management, codependency, coping skills, eating disorders, grief, women’s issues, children, family conflict, gender identity, gender dysphoria, and military families. My belief is that therapy should be a positive experience of growth for each individual and I encourage clients to collaborate with me as treatment progresses.

I have 18 years of experience as a mental health counselor. I have worked primarily in private practice but also have experience working in dual diagnosis treatment centers. My main focuses are trauma related work and couples counseling.

I have personal experience related to the work I am so passionate about and feel that rapport and a personal connection is most important for clients to thrive through their most difficult, personal issues. I am a Qualified Supervisor for the state of Florida. I specialize in EMDR and Brainspotting for trauma related sessions. I am Gottman Level 3 trained.

I often use EMDR, Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Gottman Methods in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships, past abuse, or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month.
