Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Lehigh Acres, FL

I believe that prioritizing your mental health is a major key to a happy, fulfilling life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 5 years, but before I was a therapist I taught high school. Because of my background in education, I love working with young adult females who are struggling with identity, self-confidence, anxiety and depression.

I specialize in working with men who struggle with issues related to self-esteem, people-pleasing, communication and relationships.

I am very personable and warm, you will feel right at home in my office, or online. I have 30+ years of experience. I am wholistic: spirit, soul, body from a Judeo/Christian perspective. I have two Master's degrees and a PhD in Theology of Restoration. I specialize in working with women with trauma, relationship struggles, grief and loss, depression and anxiety. Also, specialize in working with couples in which I utilize: Gottman, Imago, personality tests, SYMBIS (save your marriage before it starts).

Dr. Sheba Katz is a licensed psychologist, nationally registered psychologist, licensed school psychologist, and nationally certified school psychologist. In her therapy practice, Dr. Katz uses a multi-systemic approach. This means that she incorporates the influence and support of family structure, school and work environment, as well as community when building a treatment plan and managing behavior.

Many people who seek therapy with me struggle with past trauma and want to feel less scared of life. People who experience trauma often have a hard time setting boundaries, feel bad about themselves, and have people pleasing tendencies. Since I was 15 years old I have been a part of the movement against sexual violence. During my teenage years, I was volunteering with a local rape crisis center. Through therapy services, I assist women overcome sexual abuse and other past trauma.

If you find yourself constantly overwhelmed by "what-ifs", emotionally drained by workplace demands, or feeling disconnected from your relationships, your body and mind are telling you it's time for a pause. Anxiety, grief, and burnout often make life feel like a daily survival test rather than a life you actually get to live.
