Bloom Where You Are Planted
Hi, I’m Kate!
I am a mom to four precious little kids and a wife to a wonderful christian man who is currently serving as the Associate Pastor at a local church in Tavares, FL. Our family navigates the challenges of special needs parenting as we are learning to parent a child with ADHD/Autism.
I received my Bachelor’s degree in Ministry and Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University, christian university in South Florida. I’ve enjoyed working in a variety of settings, some secular and some christian, but mostly all with families, adolescents and marriage.
I am very passionate about families and individual’s mental health, spirituality, relationships, and physical health. I have been serving families in ministry for 12+ years and have specific experience with family of origin trauma, attachment, blended families, marital conflict, grief and paretning children with special needs. I have worked with children, teens and adults in a variety of settings to bring healing and restoration. I have previously worked as a house parent at Place of Hope with teen girls who were victims of sex trafficking. I worked at Boys Town with youth and families connecting them to mental health services. I hold specific training in marriage and family approaches and am a certified facilitator and trainer in Prepare Enrich and Couples Communication. I also completed the level 1 the Gottman Methods training. I’m trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and help clients use eye movements to overcome trauma. I highly value the importance of spirituality in bringing hope and healing to individuals, couples and families.
I use an integrative approach to combine clinically proven interventions with biblical truth (when requested). I highly value the importance of spirituality and view therapy as a collaborative effort; tailoring therapy to your individual needs.
Thank you for visiting my website and learning more about the services I’m offering. I cannot wait to connect with you and learn more about your goals. I hope to work together so we can help you to bloom where you are planted.
Blessings,
Kate Dean, M.S. LMHC
Our Services
Couples Counseling
Relationships are one of the most important aspects of life. We are created for community with others. Because of the uniqueness of individuals, we are bound to have relational struggles with our partner. Couples therapy can be transformational for your relationships. Rather you are dating, married, or thinking about marriage, counseling can help you learn to understand yourself and your partner in order to create deeper intimacy in your relationship.
Each individual has a unique personality and past experiences that shape them and develop their inner most needs. Emotion Focused Couples Therapy allows couples to understand their personal emotions, needs, and attachments as well as their partners. Creating a safe environment for you and your partner to explore those emotions, needs and attachments can help you connect. Creating emotional connectivity with your partner will improve your communication, intimacy, and ultimately your friendship.
I am certified trainer and facilitator in Prepare Enrich as well as holding a certification in Couples Communication and Level 1 Gottman training. These are wonderful tools that can help enrich your relationships by learning strengths, growth areas, skills and techniques.
Individual Counseling
Life has inevitable struggles that every person at some point will encounter and counseling can help you overcome & heal. Counseling gives you a safe place to explore your thoughts, feelings and life experiences. We believe that all people have the potential to experience freedom from the things that hold them captive. As a counselor my job is to help facilitate that change through meaningful and intentional conversation.
People are a part of systems and therefore I counsel from a systemic approach. I desire to understand my clients in context of their family, culture, community, spirituality and experiences in order to facilitate transformation. I rely heavily on Emotion Focused and Attachment based theories in order to help my clients experience healing and wholeness in both their inner and outer world. With the right interventions emotions are a healing source that is powerful. Rather then leaning on behavioral approaches, I desire to see a deep inner healing of the person, which therefore will affect their outward behaviors.
I am also trained in ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) a highly researched and proven intervention for the treatment of trauma.
Family Counseling
Families are ideally support systems in which we can find love, acceptance, encouragement and draw on in painful times. We should feel close and comfortable with our family members but this isn’t always the case. It is from our family relationships that are needs, expectations, sense of self, and world view are formed. Unfortunately, our families let us down and sometimes cause stress, hurt, frustration or are sources of unmet needs. Family Therapy is designed to help families collaborate to address this conflict.
All people function in some sort of system such as a community, culture or a family. Family systems can be complex and unique, therefore therapy is structured in a way that will allow for your family to discover your family’s patterns, communication style, needs, traditions, and expectations. Sometimes learning what has occurred in generations before can help you understand what is occurring now. Understanding your family context can help your family function within that context more successfully. Family problems will occur in every family at some point. Receiving family therapy can help your family learn to love and support one another in a deeper way.
