Therapeutic Services
A key benefit of Bloom is our ability to create an individualized path for our clients’ growth. While individual therapy sessions are most commonly scheduled, our team approach allows us to offer supportive therapeutic services that complement and enhance your treatment with our elevated treatment model and therapeutic groups.
At Bloom, we strive to empower each client by joining with them in the process of exploring their feelings, thoughts, life experiences, and patterns, while also fostering the growth of their strengths.
Counseling Sessions
Bloom specializes in providing therapy for teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, stress, and trauma.
While we prioritize each client’s unique clinical needs, most individuals typically engage in weekly hour-long therapy sessions.
Bloom offers individual therapy, with session frequency and length tailored to meet each client’s specific needs.
Sessions are held in-person at our office in located in Stuart, or online, across the state of Florida.
Group Therapy
To register for any of Bloom's groups, please contact us at least 1 week prior to their start date.

Bloom's Teen Processing Group, The Feeling Space, is designed for high school students (aged 13-18) struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or common adolescent challenges.
This group is where teens can show up authentically, connect with peers who get it, and explore what's really going on beneath the surface. Using sociometry, expressive arts, and group therapy techniques, teens will process their experiences, practice emotional honesty, and build meaningful relationships in a safe, judgment-free environment.
This isn't just about learning skills — it's about understanding yourself, your patterns, and your relationships on a deeper level. Teens apply coping tools they already have while exploring the "why" behind their struggles, not just the "how" to manage them.
Common concerns addressed:
Anxiety, social anxiety, panic, worry, perfectionism
Depression, low mood, hopelessness, isolation
Trauma, PTSD, past abuse or neglect, adverse childhood experiences
Emotional dysregulation, self-esteem, identity struggles
Family conflict, peer relationship issues, life transitions
Ideal for:
Teens in individual therapy who would benefit from peer connection and group work
Teens who feel isolated or misunderstood and need a place to belong
Teens navigating family stress, school pressure, or major life transitions
Teens who want deeper insight into their patterns and relationships

Elevated Treatment
At Bloom, we recognize that traditional one-hour weekly therapy is not always enough to meet every client’s needs.
Some individuals may require more frequent or intensive support to experience meaningful progress. That’s why we offer an Elevated Treatment Model, providing expanded, customizable services beyond standard outpatient therapy.
This approach allows us to create a comprehensive and adaptable treatment plan tailored to each client’s unique needs. Clients may:
Meet with their primary Bloom therapist more frequently or for extended sessions.
Work with additional Bloom team members to access specialized treatment methods.
At Bloom, our Elevated Treatment Model bridges the gap between traditional outpatient therapy and higher levels of care. This approach ensures that clients receive the support, structure, and specialized treatment they need—without having to enter a more restrictive treatment setting.
If you believe increased support could benefit you, we’re here to help design a treatment plan that meets your needs.
