From a personal perspective, which I believe is universal. Living in the same world connects us all. Change is a good but can cause anxiety which I believe can motivate. Change was calling me so I sought opportunity to evolve . I have been traveling for the past six months. And as a new venture many of my patients worked with me via FaceTime or Skype. The experience was so positive, and without history a great outcome. My focus was on the journey of my patients. Likewise to be authentic as a person I disclosed more to high light a similar road.My journey helped us grow together. A great equalizer, the therapist and patient was less important. My experience, empathy. care was always part of the joy of my skill set. Flexibility was increased. Most proud of working with my fellow humans as they grow. I will continue my Art via FaceTime or Skype. Sporadic consultations have been powerful. Insurance accepted, but with over 35 years of experience, I see less restrictive options. I offer you this 2019 evolved model to work together. Text me at 786-566-2535 ! I so enjoy the journey. With deep concern for your mental health growth. Richard Del Prete. Licensed Psychotherapist.....And of greater importance, I know you can achieve your goals. I encourage you to seek out options that will work for you.

Mindful of the journey of Life. Each day I have the privilege of listening to individual as they aim to move forward to enhance satisfaction in their life. My first goal is to allow the patient to develop trust in our clinical relationship. Listening is so essential. I listen to what Is said and not said. My words aim to let the patient know they were heard with empathy, care, and consideration for there thoughts and feelings. I encourage the patient to be empowered to believe they can change. Often individuals believe they can not change if they do not know what steps to take. I let them know when you believe you can change; together they will find the way. The patient will find the answers from their life experiences and innate desire to grow. Self evaluation is part of the process and judgment is never part of the process. Between sessions I reflect on patient’s work and encourage them to do the same. Likewise, I learn so much and my life and world view is shaped by the journey of individuals I care for. Today, I am grateful that my life was guided to the art of the growth process. Spiritual growth is so part of the process. I do not work with mental illness as I believe I work to increase the mental health through the complex journey of life. Not sure why I felt the need to express these word. And perhaps clarify to some the process of Psychotherapy. It is the core of success that you feel comfortable with your clinician, A photo from my time living in Key West. May this be a season of hope, happiness and gratitude for all.
