Professional Statement
Keri Nola, MA, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I founded Path To Growth, LLC in 2006 with the hopes of utilizing my diverse educational and professional experiences to create a safe and comfortable environment for people to make the decision to heal from past experiences and presently create the life they desire for themselves.
I have a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Central Florida and am Licensed by the Florida Department of Health (MH9466) to provide psychotherapy services. Additionally, I am a Certified Crisis Responder (CCR) trained by the National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA), an EMDR Institute trained clinician, and Clinical Hypnotherapist. I have worked in a variety of settings through the years, including a residential treatment facility for adolescents, a police department victim services unit, a university setting, and a spiritual community, in addition to my current work in private practice. I specialize in counseling children, adolescents, and adults with particular speciality in recovery from traumatic experiences, grief and loss, sexual health (gender identity concerns, sexually transmitted infection diagnosis, and sexual dysfunction) and relationship concerns including gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) issues.
Counseling Perspective/Treatment Approach
I use an eclectic approach of therapeutic interventions with clients to meet each individual's unique needs. Most often I utilize a relational and interpersonal approach, incorporating various mind and body modalities including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Hypnotherapy and creative techniques such as art, music, and play.
I have specialized training in Sex Therapy, EMDR, and Clinical Hypnotherapy and I often find it helpful to utilize these orientations and techniques in addition to traditional talk therapy to bring individuals relatively quick symptom relief with long lasting results.

I believe that we each possess a great potential to reach our goals and live as we desire. With that said, however, I also believe that sometimes even with the best intentions, life gets in our way. I see my role as a supporter and active guide of my clients' personal growth journeys as together we uncover the blocks to accessing your unique skills and abilities to overcome inevitable challenges and enjoy the experience of life.
