Meet krista garland
Therapist. Mom. Human.
I know what it's like to be at your lowest while still showing up for your kids. It feels like coloring your child's world while your own has faded to gray. Your life deserves color too.
I'm a big believer in authenticity and laughter through the healing process. My goal is to create a space where therapy becomes something you look forward to, not another obligation on your to-do list.

Who I Work With
As a millennial mom myself, I often work with other moms, dads, and couples throughout Florida who are in their mid-20s to 60s+.
I especially enjoy working with people who see themselves in one or more of these descriptions:
✦ Men who are logical, analytical thinkers and want to understand the "why" behind things
✦ Women with big personalities who are opinionated, authentic, and not afraid to cuss
✦ Couples who care deeply for each other but struggle to show up for one another in the ways they want to
✦ Driven, capable people who look like they have it all together but still don't feel like they're enough
Many of my clients are:
✦ Stay-at-home parents and working parents
✦ Single, in long-term relationships, married, or facing separation/divorce
✦ Business owners and entrepreneurs
✦ Nurses, doctors, and other healthcare providers
✦ First responders, firefighters, and law enforcement
✦ Attorneys, engineers, and pilots
✦ Therapists, educators, and other helping professionals
What I Can Help With
My clients are often looking to process:
✦ Trauma
✦ Betrayal and infidelity
✦ Shame
✦ Grief and loss
✦ Relationships
✦ Attachment patterns
✦ Motherhood
✦ Parenting
✦ Boundaries
✦ Self-doubt
✦ Identity
trauma-informed psychodynamic therapy in florida
My approach
If you're looking for a therapist who will give you a bunch of tools to fix your problems, I'm probably not the right therapist for you.
If it were that simple, you probably would've already fixed those problems yourself. Because you're capable. You've been figuring things out, pushing through, and doing what you needed to do for a long time.
My approach isn't about telling you what you need to do. It's about meeting you where you are, as an authentic human being, and walking alongside you as someone in your corner who is genuinely rooting for you. Therapy is a place to sit with the hard things, realize you're not alone, and find your way forward.
As a psychodynamic therapist, I'm here to help you understand yourself more deeply, explore the patterns shaping your life, and take charge of your future by making choices that align with who you are and who you're becoming.
The therapy process
What to expect
The first few sessions will be spent talking about your history, goals, and current life situation. I'll share my clinical impressions along the way, and we'll work together to bring you the healing and relief you came for.
I'll often invite you to focus on certain patterns, thoughts, or feelings that arise between sessions. Noticing and adapting those patterns are a large part of the healing process.
Throughout our work together, we'll check in periodically to make sure the frequency still feels right for you, and to reflect on your progress.
The best endings are the ones you're ready for. The goal is not to stay in therapy forever. It's to help you create a life that feels fully your own.
