Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Palm Harbor, FL

Life can feel heavy sometimes. Maybe you’ve been carrying stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, or emotional exhaustion for longer than anyone realizes. You might feel overwhelmed trying to keep up with everything while quietly wishing you had a space where you could finally exhale and just be yourself. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to have it all figured out. I work with adults, teens, and children who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and everyday challenges while learning healthier ways to cope, heal, and reconnect with themselves.

Life can feel overwhelming when stress, anger, addiction, anxiety, or family conflict start pulling you away from who you want to be. I work with adolescent boys, teens, and adults who feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by emotional struggles and unhealthy patterns. Together, we focus on building confidence, emotional balance, healthy coping skills, and a stronger sense of purpose so you can feel more grounded, peaceful, and in control of your life and relationships.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience partnering with adolescents, adults of all ages and families. I am bilingual so I offer therapy in english and spanish.

My aim is to first help clients feel heard, understood, and supported in their goals. Then, I aim to provide evidence based interventions to equip them with the tools necessary to help them feel stronger, and empowered to face life's challenges.

I'm Rebecca Colas, a bilingual (English/Haitian Creole) LCSW based in FL. Also, providing telehealth services to clients residing in VA. In my profession I have had the honor of supporting individuals across the lifespan. I help individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, stress, and major life transitions and yes, sometimes we even laugh along the way. No matter what you’re carrying, my priority is to meet you exactly where you are and create a space where you feel genuinely supported.
