“What you are looking for is already in you…
You are already everything you are seeking.”

Welcome to Wild Thistle Therapy
Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in old patterns?
Sometimes, the weight of past wounds, current stressors, or relationship challenges can feel too heavy to carry alone. At Wild Thistle Therapy, we provide compassionate, trauma-informed counseling to help you navigate these moments with clarity, courage, and care.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, navigating grief or trauma, feeling lost in your relationships, or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, therapy can help you find your footing again.
We serve individuals, couples, and families in the Destin, Navarre, and Gulf Breeze areas and throughout the state of Florida via telehealth. Our clients often describe feeling safe, seen, and deeply understood, many for the first time.
Healing Begins with Connection
Finding the right therapist is one of the most important steps in your healing journey. We believe that therapy should feel like a collaboration, not a lecture.
Together, we’ll identify what’s no longer serving you, clarify your goals, and create a personalized path forward. We integrate evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Schema Therapy to support long-lasting transformation, not just symptom relief.
Our therapists are passionate about helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom, restore emotional balance, and reclaim the life you deserve.
Free Consultations Available
We understand how important it is to feel comfortable with your therapist. That’s why we offer a free, 15-minute phone consultation for all new clients.
This is your opportunity to ask questions, get to know your therapist, and make sure it’s the right fit before getting started. We offer flexible scheduling, including morning, evening, and weekend appointments, to support your busy life.
Individual Counseling
Sometimes life quietly unravels before you even realize it.
You may find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, or simply disconnected from the person you used to be. Maybe you’ve been trying to “push through,” but nothing is changing, or you’re functioning well on the outside while quietly falling apart within. Individual therapy offers a sacred space to slow down, reconnect, and uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. Whether you’re navigating stress, burnout, trauma, grief, or a deep desire for personal growth, this space is for you.
Marriage Counseling
Even the strongest relationships can lose their way.
Perhaps the communication has broken down. The intimacy has faded. Or the two of you feel more like roommates than soulmates. If you’re asking yourself, “Can we get back to what we once had?” or “Do we even know how to connect anymore?” marriage counseling offers a path back to clarity, understanding, and emotional intimacy. Together, we’ll work to uncover the patterns keeping you stuck and rebuild a partnership grounded in respect, compassion, and truth.
Family Counseling
When one member of the family is struggling, the entire system feels it.
Family therapy creates a space where each voice is heard, emotions are acknowledged, and generational patterns can begin to heal. Whether you’re facing frequent conflict, major transitions, or long-standing misunderstandings, we work together to improve communication, restore harmony, and help everyone feel more seen and supported, especially the children who often carry what isn’t theirs.
Teen Counseling
Adolescence is more complicated than ever.
Many teens feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or like they’re carrying too much, and don’t know where to turn. Therapy gives them a safe, judgment-free space to explore who they are, express what they’re really feeling, and learn tools to manage anxiety, depression, relationships, and identity struggles. We also support parents in understanding how to better connect with and support their teens through these critical years.
Therapy for High Profile & Public Figures
Success doesn’t always equal peace.
If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or public figure, you carry a unique kind of pressure: to hold it all together, perform flawlessly, and never let them see you sweat. But beneath the surface, you may be exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or unsure of who you are outside your role. Therapy offers a confidential, grounded space to let go of the mask, reconnect with your truth, and realign with a version of success that actually feels good.
Christian Counseling
Faith can be a source of deep healing, but it can also be tested in times of struggle.
If you’re seeking a therapist who can honor your Christian values while helping you navigate life’s challenges, Christian counseling may be right for you. Whether you’re wrestling with grief, anxiety, relationship issues, or spiritual questions, this space welcomes both your humanity and your faith. Sessions are led with compassion, wisdom, and truth, integrating therapeutic support with biblical principles when desired. You don’t have to choose between faith and healing. Here, they can walk hand-in-hand.
