Finding a counselor you feel comfortable with is the first step toward therapy that works. Our Sarasota team covers a range of training, techniques, and life experience, and a care coordinator will help you find the right fit.
Most callbacks happen the same business day.
Our team
The MindSol Wellness Center staff includes men and women with a variety of training, techniques, and life experiences. All our Sarasota therapists are united in providing compassionate, personalized care. We focus on talk therapy, and we partner with a physician for any client who may benefit from prescription medication alongside counseling.
If you read our short bios and decide you would like to work with a particular provider, tell us when you call or fill out the contact form and we will check that person’s availability. If you are not sure who is best able to address what you want to discuss, we will help match you with someone whose skills and experience are likely to be a good fit.
Not sure who to ask for? Say what is going on and we will match you. Ten minutes, confidential, no obligation.
A variety of perspectives
All our counselors are licensed, registered, or certified in the state of Florida, though they have different backgrounds. Smith Tilka, for example, has a master’s degree in psychology, while Kim Benson has a doctorate in counselor education and supervision. Some team members have advanced training in working with survivors of trauma.
Aside from their professional qualifications, each therapist brings a unique perspective. They all have their own strategies for making clients feel at ease and helping them explore the issues that are causing stress or straining relationships. Each therapist also has particular areas of interest, such as helping clients set boundaries, start a new chapter of life, or manage a work and life balance.
Members of the MindSol team have experience working with people who have been in prison, people living with disruptive mental illness, and other situations that affect mental health and coping.
Our approach
While each MindSol counselor brings their own flair to therapy, everyone in the practice follows certain shared practices. In technical terms we work within an object relations and psychodynamic framework. What that means for clients is simpler: we try different strategies and adapt treatment to fit the person in front of us.
Our therapists stay focused on lifting up the people we work with. Once we identify the sources of anxiety, sadness, and conflict, we look for workable ways to replace self destructive thoughts and behaviors with better ones.
