For each of us, life can sometimes be overwhelming. It is far too often that hope can seem so very far away. Helping those who are struggling to find hope, those challenged by some of life’s toughest issues is why we exist. Your search for an appropriate place of support does not need to be a struggle. Spanish River Counseling Center is a place of hope that has provided healing and new beginnings for nearly 30 years.
Amid a sea of so many voices and options, we consider your choosing us to be a significant honor and courageous trust. Because you are unique, so should be your care. At Spanish River, your treatment plan will meet your specific needs, desires, and goals. We begin helping you crystalize the plan to serve your needs from your very first contact with our office. Our team of multidisciplinary therapists is uniquely qualified and specialized in differing ways to better meet a greater variety of individual concerns.
Everyone’s schedule is different, and not everyone has the same opportunity to join us for an in-person counseling session. Our goal is to provide you with the support and care you’re seeking, and in whatever way, we can connect! Each of our counselors offers multiple ways to meet, whether in-person, over-the-phone, or via Zoom, to provide you with the support and care you need, where and when you need it!

Walk/talk therapy improves emotion regulation and the ability to cope with life transitions or feeling stuck. It reduces anxiety, anger, stress, depression, and both ruminative and intrusive thoughts. A recent research study found that 71% of people who engage in a nature walk felt an almost immediate decrease in depressive-related symptoms and an increase in feeling relaxed and grounded in the moment. Clarity of thinking helps synthesize new pathways of thinking that stem from thought-stopping and a sense of centering. Author Mary Davis says it best, “A walk in nature walks the soul back home.”
