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.

Testing
Our evaluations are appropriate for children and teens (Pre-K through 12th grade). Components of an evaluation depend on individual client needs, but generally consist of a clinical interview, direct testing with the child, and rating scales completed by parents and teachers. Results and a written report with recommendations are provided during a feedback session with parents.
