South Tampa Therapy and Wellness - Tampa, Florida

Recently I attended a group EMDR session dedicated to processing trauma incurred by the recent hurricanes. The women that facilitated this offering, donated their time on a Saturday morning and showed up for their community. I am grateful to Linda and her colleagues for providing a safe space for healing. They prepared the meeting room with all of the necessary supplies and also provided light refreshments! To say I felt taken care of is an understatement. If you have never been introduced to or tried EMDR, South Tampa Therapy and Wellness is a fantastic place to begin this deeply healing practice.

I have been seeing a therapist there and she canceled last minute many times then she confirmed an appointment the day before to then again cancel last min please don't confirm if you can't make it but then she needed a leave of absence so I mean fine life happens.

I'm told the absence is about a month but they are unsure so that's fine.

I'm with someone else temporarily until she comes back and about three weeks later I call to confirm with my apt with my temporary therapist and my old therapist answers the phone ..

and I'm away but she tells me when I back locally she can see me again and the office guy will call me back.

He calls me back and says why not stay with the temporary therapist and I shes only virtual and I wanna get back to EMDR in person he says oh well she may not he back for a few months and shes doing admin and training only now but meanwhile she just told me she'd see me when I got back and half hour later or less when he called me back the story changed.

Please don't confirm appointments if you don't know and don't tell people one thing and a different story soon after. So unprofessional and rude. People are counting on you to help them through heavy stuff be honest please.

That was Yvette. That bring said she also truly does care and wants the best for her patients you can feel that and she helped me through some heavy stuff and even stayed later to help me work through stuff which was wonderful of her but it's been very stressful.

I loved Linda there she deeply cares, listens, sees you, and no bs you can feel she really believes in you, she's incredible but she doesn't have availability.

The guy in the office is also very kind.

I attended therapy with Morgan at South Tampa Therapy and Wellness for about three months earlier this year. Initially, I considered moving on without leaving a review, but recent events have prompted me to share my experience. The Practice Manager, Jim, recently sent an email to all clients that exposed my full name and email address to hundreds of people. A clear HIPAA violation.

Here are the key issues I faced during my time with this practice:
* When I first called to make an appointment, Jim said he'd call me back after checking availability with the therapists. I didn’t hear from him for a week, despite following up. When he finally called, he admitted he had a memo to call me but wasn’t sure why, and I had to explain again that I needed to schedule an appointment.
* After canceling an appointment due to travel, I called back when my plans changed, and Jim confirmed I could attend. I even received the 24-hour confirmation email. However, when I arrived, I was told Jim had canceled the appointment without notifying me, and Morgan wasn’t there.
* During sessions, Morgan frequently brought up her personal traumas, which made me uncomfortable.
* For a one-off situation where I needed a virtual session with Morgan, I could barely concentrate due to a loud, screaming child in the background.
* Morgan recommended EMDR therapy but when I would show up expecting to do EMDR, she would ask me how my week was and we’d speak briefly and then she would state we didn’t have enough time, and so it never happened.
* When Morgan informed me she could only offer virtual care due to pregnancy complications, I expressed my need for in-person therapy. Instead of offering an alternative provider, she kindly dismissed me, which felt abrupt.

I’ve been seeing Linda K. for a few months now and it’s been quite transformational for me. Linda’s methods having proven to be much more effective than talk therapy, which I had been doing for years before I started seeing her. With EDMR, Linda has given me the tools to proactively work through things in my life that have seems impossible in the past. She is also very kind, thoughtful, and educational through the process.

I had an incredibly positive experience with Yvette. Her compassionate and empathetic approach created a safe space for me to open up. Yvette's insightful guidance and effective strategies have significantly contributed to my personal growth and well-being. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a skilled and supportive therapist for individual or couples therapy.

I began working with Yvette in March of 2023. I was entering a separation which essentially was the beginning of the divorce process.

Not only was I able to work through the issues related to the divorce, but we also utilized EMDR therapy for some childhood and adulthood grief. I felt comfortable through the entire process which allowed myself to open up and truly process through these things.

A year later, I am more comfortable with who I am, but also am so much more equipped to handle situations appropriately. I cannot recommend therapy enough and specifically Yvette at South Tampa Therapy and Wellness.

Found South Tampa Therapy & Wellness after moving down to Florida. Incredibly grateful I connected with Yvette. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with Veronica, and she’s fabulous as well. Highly recommend!
