Awakening Into Life

Hello, my name is Bradley and I am a Florida-based student-intern taking part in a supervised course of study for the completion of my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
During the period of 1 March – 6 August 2021, I am authorized to offer mental health counseling services, through The Meaningful Life Center, under the direct supervision of William Jarvis (LMHC, NCC) a licensed therapist in the State of Florida.
Sessions are offered on-line and over the phone, anywhere in Florida, using HIPAA-compliant telemental health counseling tools. Our office accepts a wide variety of insurance plans – and can also offer sliding-scale rates for those who are not covered by insurance.

Offering online Sessions Anywhere in Florida
In order to heal from a history of trauma, abuse, or neglect; to reclaim ourselves from the clutches of addiction, unworthiness, or self-doubt; or to navigate issues of anxiety, depression, or every-day life challenges; we are well served by working within the dynamics of a therapeutic relationship that offers an environment of trust, safety, and support. With a combination of deep listening, unconditional positive regard, and nonjudgemental loving-awareness, we can work together to peel back the layers of pain and confusion that have taken control of your life; reframing your internalized experience of yourself and discovering the unique path of vitality, purpose, and meaning that’s meant for you.”
