Grief counselors and therapists in Fort Walton Beach, FL

Hola, bienvenida/o.

Buscar ayuda no siempre es fácil. Muchas personas llegan a terapia sintiéndose abrumadas por la ansiedad, la tristeza, los conflictos en sus relaciones, el estrés o experiencias dolorosas que han cargado en silencio durante mucho tiempo. Si ese es tu caso, quiero que sepas que no tienes que enfrentarlo sola/o.

Soy psicóloga graduada de la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas (UCLV), en Cuba, y continué mi formación profesional en Estados Unidos en Albizu University. Mi experiencia trabajando con la comunidad latina me ha permitido comprender los desafíos emocionales, familiares y culturales que muchas personas enfrentan mientras intentan equilibrar sus responsabilidades, relaciones y bienestar personal.

Ofrezco terapia en español para adolescentes y adultos que experimentan ansiedad, depresión, trauma, baja autoestima, dificultades en las relaciones, conflictos familiares, procesos de duelo y transiciones importantes de vida. También trabajo con personas que desean comprenderse mejor, fortalecer su autoestima y desarrollar herramientas para afrontar los desafíos cotidianos de manera más saludable.

Mi enfoque terapéutico es cálido, colaborativo y libre de juicios. Creo que cada persona tiene una historia única y merece un espacio seguro donde pueda sentirse escuchada, comprendida y valorada. Juntos exploraremos los patrones que están afectando tu bienestar emocional, identificaremos tus fortalezas y desarrollaremos estrategias prácticas para ayudarte a alcanzar cambios significativos y duraderos.

Creo firmemente que la terapia no solo ayuda a aliviar el sufrimiento emocional, sino que también puede convertirse en una oportunidad para crecer, sanar y construir una vida más plena y satisfactoria.

Será un honor acompañarte en tu proceso hacia una mayor comprensión de ti misma/o, bienestar emocional y crecimiento personal.

Welcome to Courageous Living Mental Health Consultants Psychiatric Services:

My name is Ian Dyer, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, and I am a graduate of the University of South Alabama where I completed my Masters of Science in Nursing in the Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program. I am licensed as an APRN in the State of Florida and board certified as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I currently have more than 5 years of experience in the field of psychiatric nursing in both the outpatient settings as well as in acute inpatient psychiatric services. At Courageous Living Mental Health Consultants, I provide caring, compassionate, individually based, and thoughtful evidenced-based treatment for a verity of mental health conditions in order to best promote my client’s ability to recover, flourish, and succeed.

Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is passionate about helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and other emotional challenges in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. I use evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs and am trained in both EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help clients process and heal from traumatic experiences. My goal is to help you gain practical tools, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling that thoughtfully integrates faith into the therapy process.

Therapy is self-care. I want my client's therapeutic experience to be the best one possible as I know they are using the small amount of time they have to work on themselves. I am the therapist I would want for myself. I am collaborative, knowledgeable, I help simplify the complicated, put words to experiences, feelings, and thoughts, and guide clients in what to do with their findings. I am the therapist you do "the work" with.

My professional experience is with young adults who struggle with life changes/transitions. Also, young adults who struggle with coping and stress. Individuals who are looking for a safe space to be heard and supported without judgement.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and my background blends clinical skills in both counseling and nursing. I have years of experience working with adults navigating anxiety, relationship patterns, identity questions, and major life transitions.

I’m a clear communicator and bring emotional steadiness and the ability to understand people quickly to my work.

In my practice, I work primarily with adults who want to understand themselves more deeply, break long‐standing patterns, and feel more grounded and confident in their daily lives. I have extensive experience supporting clients who struggle with self‐criticism, avoidance, perfectionism, and the lingering impact of family dynamics. I also work with high‐functioning professionals to help them maximize their insights, achieve balance, and unlock their potential.

Outside of my clinical work, I’m grounded by a long, loving marriage, a close circle of friends, and a life that includes equal parts structure and humor. I’m a dog person, someone who values connection and curiosity, and I try to show up fully in the relationships that matter. These parts of my life shape the way I practice: with steadiness, clarity, and a genuine respect for the complexity of being human.

Laneka Montgomery is a compassionate therapist with experience supporting individuals navigating stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions, including end-of-life concerns. She works with adults, women, and couples facing relationship challenges and emotional distress.

Laneka is committed to creating a supportive, affirming space where clients feel heard and valued.
