Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Ocala, FL

I have been a counselor for 40 years, working with individuals, couples, families and groups with psychological as well as addiction issues. I have extensive experience in inpatient as well as outpatient settings. I am eclectic in my evaluation and treatment methods, which gives me flexibility to treat individual needs. Primarily, I use cognitive-behavioral techniques. Many of my clients suffer with depression, anger, and anxiety (panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder); all of which impact potential addictions. I also treat couples and families to better understand their dynamics and to improve their communication skills.

My background consists of psychological testing and understanding personalities. This has helped in my work with children, adolescents, & families. I enjoy working with gay and straight couples, to help them with empathy and communication. I do extensive cognitive work as well as teaching techniques with people suffering from anxiety, anger, and addictions.

I encourage self-awareness to stimulate one's potential. Understanding oneself is essential to reducing anxiety, depression & anger (and in improving relationships). I teach relaxation, meditation, & self-hypnosis techniques to improve personal balance. I guide couples and families to improve relationships through empathy, acceptance, and communication.

If you are looking for a therapist who can sit with the full picture- the child whose ADHD is shaping the whole household, the teen working through an eating disorder, the parent navigating divorce or the adult who's been carrying it for years- that's the work I've spent the last 23 years doing.

I'm an LMHC licensed in Florida, and I've worked with children, adolescents, families, and (over the past three years) adults across homes, schools, outpatient settings, and social service agencies. I have particular experience with military connected families, blended families, and clients navigating ADHD, eating disorders, anxiety, mood and bipolar disorders, grief, and the kinds of life transitions that shake your sense of self.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this. I am a Doctorate level Clinical Psychologist and offer over 20 years of experience in working from an empathic, strength-based approach that is uniquely tailored to the needs of each person in a safe, non-judgmental environment. My clinical specialties and areas of professional interest include depression and anxiety related to life transitions, aging, care-giver burden, medical issues, grief, relationships and addiction.

I have learned that there is not one approach when working with individuals. I have found that using a wide variety of techniques and skills that are tailored to your needs have been most successful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combined with mindfulness-based, therapeutic guidance and solution-focused based therapies have been most helpful.

Life transitions are not easy and can rarely be dealt with alone. Support and clarification can truly empower and motivate you to make changes that lead to better mental and physical health. My style is warm, empathetic, approachable, and laid back. My goal is to listen deeply and carefully in order to understand you and your unique experiences. I provide a space where you can feel safe, comfortable and validated.

Dustin R. Kebre; M.A; LMFT; MT3057 My current focus lies in the private practice setting, where I take a special interest in treating trauma, anxiety & depressive disorders in adults. I take a Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) approach, which allows for long-term benefits in fewer sessions than other counseling models. I was intensively trained in EMDR and believe the focus of counseling is to not only work on managing your current struggles, but to develop the tools needed to independently manage future obstacles as well. I use a combination of reflective listening, as well as an instructional approach, to help guide you towards becoming the best version of you!

I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology and a License in Marital and Family Therapy. I treat individuals, couples and families. I specialize in healing people from pain and suffering. I believe the connection you can develop during therapy provides an environment where you can feel safe and nurtured. We all need this kind of support in a world that seems to care less and less about your needs as a human being. The first step is the most difficult; however, often the most life changing. I look forward in helping you transform your life and be the person you were meant to be.
