Our Clinicians
Our professional clinical team is well trained and are all licensed by the State of Florida.
About Us
Since 1993, our mission verse is Galatians 6:10 (NIV): “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” While maintaining your confidentiality, we provide consultation to each other. Doing so assures high accountability for each of our counselors, which protects you from receiving substandard or unethical treatment. We meet weekly as a team to pray, consult, and support each other in our mission to provide excellent mental health services for our community and for the glory of God.
Life Connections is a Registered Non Profit Organization.
Hurricane Resources
Managing the traumatic stress of a hurricane and its aftermath: Psychological science provides evidence-based coping mechanisms for dealing with sudden, uncontrollable tragedy.
Hurricane fatigue is real. Additionally, we may experience survivor guilt that others have worse situations. Doing things we can control can help: eating simple but nutritious food, rest, stretch/ exercise, take walks, try to slowly get back to a daily routine, shower, call a friend, consider small ways to help your neighbors around you if you are up for it, and spiritual disciplines of prayer and worship, etc.
