Fredricka Kotey, MS, NCC, CTP

Welcome! I am so glad you’re here. As a wife, mother, and fellow human being, I know firsthand how transformative the journey toward healing can be. It’s a journey that has not only shaped my life but has inspired me to support others in finding their path to wellness. I believe in the power of self-reflection and healing, and I’m deeply passionate about creating a safe space where you can be heard, understood, and empowered. Along with the life experience that I bring, I am a National Certified Counselor, Certified Trauma Professional, Addiction professional, EMDR/DeTUR trained professional, and Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in the state of Florida. I have over 20 years of experience working in the social services and behavioral health field with diverse populations in various sectors that include government, nonprofit, and corporate environments. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, addiction, and Christian Counseling. While I have experience working with clients across the lifespan, I currently work with adults age 18 and over. My experience includes working with individuals, families, and vulnerable groups. Regardless of your background or the challenges you're facing, I am here to meet you where you are and walk alongside you on your healing journey. I believe therapy is most powerful when it’s a collaborative experience. You bring your lived experiences, your questions, and your strengths. I bring a supportive, nonjudgmental presence, along with tools and insight to help guide the process. Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back and discover what might help you move forward. At the heart of my work is self-reflection, a powerful gateway to healing. Therapy with me is a space where we’ll not only work through what you’re feeling, but also explore why, and how it connects to deeper patterns, past wounds, or beliefs that no longer serve you. My approach is relational and integrative, meaning I tailor sessions to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices including EMDR, somatic therapy, family systems, CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based strategies, all while centering the therapeutic relationship as a key part of the healing process. Most importantly, I aim to create a space where growth feels possible, even when life feels overwhelming. I am committed to providing the highest quality of care for my clients. To ensure this, I regularly engage in supervision with Qualified Supervisor Laura Anne Pasker, LMHC, CCTP to enhance the effectiveness of my practice while pre-licensed. If you are interested in my services, please request an appointment for a 15 minute consultation. We will have a brief chat to determine if we would like to begin working together. If so, together, we’ll reflect, heal, and build the foundation for lasting change.
