Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you've seen a therapist before, it can be a little overwhelming! There are so many therapists to choose from and all claim to be the one to help your specific situation. Our process is different and truly what sets us apart from the rest. Once you start working with our counselors in Fort Myers will soon ask yourself, "Why didn't I do this sooner?"
We begin our work by understanding in what areas (past, present or even future thinking) your current situation is affecting you. This helps us create a specific plan that outlines our recommendations to get you back to living your best life. This is where the deeper work begins. After identifying the specific events that are affecting you, we target those areas so you know how to handle them for yourself.

Thank you for considering A Peaceful Mind Counseling Group to help you during this difficult time. We know you can choose many other practices to help during this time of need. So we hope that you can take a minute to learn about our staff so that you can make an informed decision on who you choose to work with.
Imagine spending months or even years in therapy and not seeing any results. Now imagine there's a way to discover fast, effective solutions to getting you back to living your best life. EMDR is a technique that facilitates healing using the most powerful part of the human body, the brain. For a variety of reasons, sometimes the brain can get "stuck" on past disturbing events or traumas.
You've landed here because you want to transform your life. You are ready to make progress but no matter how hard you try, it seems like you don't get anywhere. Maybe someone you care about has told you that something is just not the same or has shared concerns. Maybe someone else has recommended individual counseling.
Wake up every morning. Prepare for the day. It's important to show the world how effective and put together your life is. You offer smiles at work, greet your neighbors, and pretend to care about their problems - all while your own problems are eating you inside. Spending quality time together as a couple is history, and the flame you once felt for each other is no longer alive.
If your child is struggling with their identity, hanging with the wrong crowd, or just being different from the child you once knew, it can be a challenge to know what else you can do. No matter how hard you try to speak, help, and understand them, you just can't get through. The biggest concern I get from parents today is that they simply want to communicate with their child - and that alone can be very stressful.

From day one at Peaceful Mind, I knew my mental health was finally in safe hands. Monique Smith has been a saving grace in her approach to help me overcome depression, anxiety, deep-rooted traumas, and relationship challenges. She is superior at providing a comfortable & safe space while remaining professional & insightful through each session.
I first entered her room feeling completely fragile and overwhelmed in life. Now I am moving through my days with more confidence and clarity thanks to her! I could not be more grateful for Monique’s guidance this past year. Simply remarkable experience

From the moment they answered the phone I knew that I was in great hands. Very polite & so understanding of my needs! The staff are fantastic! The owner Anthony Garcia 10 out of 10 would recommend! The office was very welcoming & comfortable. These offices tend to be a little intimidating but definitely not this one. Very content with my experience and my treatment at a Peaceful Mind.

Monique Smith has been my therapist for almost two years now and I feel very lucky to have found her. I came to her at my worst and she made me feel my best. I have overcome so much with her help. She has taught me many coping mechanisms to prevent myself from spiraling into a depressive episode and I still use them today. I was very reluctant to try therapy again after my attempt with another therapist years ago but I am so glad that I gave it another chance. Monique is the first therapist that I have felt completely comfortable with. She listens and provides helpful feedback, but most importantly

Intentional, thoughtful therapist with a wide swath of lived experiences that made starting therapy easier than I’d thought in the past. It’s nice when you don’t have to “translate” your experiences but can talk with someone who sees you already and is listening with intent. Learning how to think through my emotions changed my life. Highly recommended.

Peaceful Mind Counseling, absolutely changed my outlook on life. After the loss of a loved one, I lost hope. I suffered with a wide range of emotions the feelings of hopelessness, extreme sadness and severe anxiety. Monique Smith was a blessing; she was an inspiration of hope, a light at the end of the tunnel. She offered a safe place, my life has changed significantly. I cannot thank her enough, having my life again is a glorious feeling. I would definitely recommend Monique Smith, she is a blessing-in-disguise...
