Our life’s journey can be filled with detours and bumps along the way. Much like how we turn to a GPS to help us find the best route when traveling, therapy can guide you in the right direction.

Services

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and finding the right support matters. At Worthwhile Therapy, we provide individual therapy, couples therapy, sex therapy, and co-parenting counseling to support emotional well-being, relationships, and overall mental health. Our licensed therapists offer in-person therapy in Lake County, Florida, as well as secure online therapy throughout Central Florida, making care accessible and flexible. Learn more about our therapy services below to find the approach that best fits your needs.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore life’s challenges, transitions, and emotional stressors. Many people seek therapy during periods of change or when anxiety, depression, or ongoing stress begins to interfere with daily life. Individual counseling provides an opportunity to better understand your experiences and how they impact your mental and emotional well-being.

Therapy is not about being told what you are doing “wrong” or receiving answers from an outside expert. Your life experiences and values are unique, and growth happens when you develop coping strategies that truly fit your needs. As a therapist, my role is to serve as a guide—offering perspective and support as you work toward meaningful change.

Life’s internal and external stressors can create barriers to reaching personal goals and feeling fulfilled. Individual therapy helps you explore solutions aligned with your values, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Relationship Therapy

Relationship therapy provides a supportive space for partners and individuals in all types of relationships—including marriage, polyamorous partnerships, ethical non-monogamy, and other non-traditional dynamics—to deepen emotional connection and strengthen their bonds. Beneficial at any stage, relationship counseling helps people navigate life transitions, manage conflict, and adapt to challenges that arise as relationships evolve. Whether you are blending lives, facing stressors, or feeling disconnected, relationship therapy offers tools to move forward together in a healthy, intentional way.

As relationship therapists, our role is to facilitate healthier communication, increase awareness of patterns and past experiences, and provide strategies to address relational challenges. Over time, partners and individuals can fall into habits such as miscommunication, assumptions, or unspoken expectations that create distance. Relationship therapy provides an opportunity to reconnect, clarify boundaries, and address barriers that interfere with intimacy, trust, and mutual understanding—regardless of relationship structure.

Co-Parenting Therapy

Co-parenting therapy is a specialized form of couples therapy designed to support parents who are navigating shared parenting after separation or divorce. The goal of co-parenting counseling is to help parents clarify roles, set healthy expectations, and develop effective communication strategies in the best interest of their child or children. Parenting can be challenging on its own, and unresolved conflict following a breakup can make co-parenting even more difficult.

Co-parenting therapy provides a structured, supportive space to address lingering emotional concerns, reduce conflict, and create a more stable and respectful parenting dynamic. By improving communication and collaboration between parents, co-parenting counseling helps foster a healthier environment for children and supports more effective, child-centered parenting.

Kid & Teen Therapy

Child and teen therapy offers a safe, supportive environment where young people can explore their emotions, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills for life’s challenges. Our kid therapy and adolescent counseling services help children and teens navigate anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, and social stressors. We work collaboratively with families to support emotional, social, and mental well-being, helping young clients thrive at home, school, and in their communities. We are an approved provider with Step Up for Students.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a research-supported treatment that helps individuals heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and other distressing life experiences. Using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, EMDR helps the brain process and release stored emotional pain. This evidence-based therapy is highly effective for trauma recovery, reducing symptoms of anxiety and PTSD, and helping clients feel more grounded, empowered, and emotionally balanced. EMDR therapy in Lake County and Central Florida is available for adults seeking relief from past trauma and improved mental well-being.

Sex Therapy

Sex therapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore your sexuality, address sexual concerns, and build confidence in your sexual identity. Unlike therapies that focus only on sexual function—such as arousal difficulties, orgasm challenges, sexual pain, or premature ejaculation—sexual health counseling also addresses the emotional, relational, and psycho-social aspects of sexuality. Our sexual expression evolves over time, and sex therapy helps you navigate changes with understanding and self-compassion.

Sex therapy can also support parents in learning how to talk to their children about sex in an age-appropriate way, explore what it means to be a sexual being, and address health concerns or sexual dysfunctions that may interfere with intimacy. In a culture where sex is often taboo despite media exposure, sex therapy in Lake County and Central Florida offers a confidential environment to explore your identity, strengthen communication, and enhance sexual well-being.

Sex Positive

Sex-positive therapy emphasizes respect for the wide spectrum of healthy human sexual expression and affirms your sexual identity without judgment. This approach is particularly valuable in Western culture, where traditional views of sex can be negative or hierarchical.

In sex-positive counseling, sexuality is acknowledged and supported, but it is not the sole focus of treatment. Clients can explore sexual concerns, intimacy issues, or relationship challenges without feeling pressured to change their identity or that their feelings are “wrong.”

As a sex-positive therapist, Dr. Worth helps clients address sexuality alongside broader emotional, relational, and personal growth goals. By integrating sexual health with overall mental health, sex-positive therapy provides a holistic approach to well-being and self-understanding in a safe, affirming environment.
