CEO, Psychotherapist
You’ve tried talk therapy before. We offer something different.
Neuroscience has given us new, advanced ways to clear the effects of trauma, anxiety, shame & guilt, and performance issues, at the root - without a long painful process.
You just need the right method to unlock that door for you.
You don’t have to feel it
to heal it.
Things We Can
Help You With
Whatever brought you here, our advanced, brain-based methods work to address the root of the problem, not just to help you “manage” the symptoms. Connect with our team virtually or in-person in Fort Lauderdale and we’ll match you with the right therapist and approach.
If you’re still living with the effects of childhood, relationship, military and sexual trauma.
When your mind won’t switch off, and body never fully relaxes.
GRIEF & LOSS Therapy
GUILT & SHAME Therapy
For those struggling to move forward after losing someone important (even a pet).

ANGER MANAGEMENT Therapy
ADHD Therapy
Ways To
Work With Us
You’ve been carrying it alone - the anxiety, the old patternse, the reactions you can’t seem to switch off. Individual therapy gives you dedicated one-on-one time with a therapist trained in advanced brain-based methods that work at the root of the issues, not simply by chatting about it.
Your plan is built around your goals and your schedule, so every session moves you forward. Start with booking a complimentary consultation with our therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Individual Therapy
Same argument, different day? Intimacy not what it used to be? When you’re stuck in a pattern you both recognize but can’t break, talking it out one more time won’t change it.
Couples therapy helps you understand what is driving the cycle for each of you, then shifts it, so you can communicate better under pressure, reconnect in meaningful ways and feel like a team again. Start with booking a complimentary consultation with our therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Couples Therapy
If you’re a busy professional whose schedule has gotten in the way of getting the support you need, Concierge Therapy gives you direct access to your therapist without the usual wait. Contact your therapist to bypass the waitlist, and get a session in now, after hours, or last minute before a high stakes moment. Even if that means tomorrow at 7am.

Concierge Therapy
You’ve probably experienced a lapse in momentum while waiting a week between therapy sessions. This can stunt your progress. A therapy intensive is a longer, focused session that targets one specific issue at the root, using brain-based methods like Rapid Resolution Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Brainspotting. This is our flagship offering, ideal for areas you’ve been stuck. Book a complimentary consultation with our therapist in Fort Lauderdale.
Therapy Intensives
We also offer Performance Coaching for Executives and Athletes (including motorsports)
What Is Brain-Based Therapy?
Our Approach
You've already done the insight work in therapy. You can explain exactly why you react the way you do. And yet, the reaction has still been happening.
That's because talk-therapy works with your thinking brain. Trauma doesn't. Trauma is stored in the subconscious systems of your brain and body that run on instinct, not on reason or logic.
You can't think your way out of something your nervous system has still been holding onto.
Brain-based therapy works with both your analytical mind AND the subconscious networks where anxiety, trauma and old relationship patterns live. Methods like Rapid Resolution Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, EMDR and Brainspotting are built on the neuroscience of how the brain and body process threat, memory and emotion. This is the next generation of trauma counseling and anxiety counseling.
It is the difference between "managing" symptoms and actually resolving them.
Our clients are high-capacity people who don't want years of talk therapy. They want results. Sheri Johnson, LCSW, founded FreeMind Therapy to challenge the status quo - 3000+ clients with fewer years in the chair and deeper change. This is the new generation of counseling and trauma therapy in Fort Lauderdale. Your first step is a complimentary consultation.
Our Therapeutic
Methods
Cutting-edge, brain-based therapies that go beyond talk therapy. Get to the root and make actual change.
Brainspotting therapy is a brain-based therapy that uses your eyeline positioning to pin point and quickly clear the root of your trauma or stuckness.
01
Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) is an experiential style therapy targeting the subconscious mind, combining several methods like hypnotherapy and mindfulness into one approach.

Clinical Hypnotherapy has been a mental health treatment method for well over 100 years, and is applied by us using modern, non-invasive techniques.

07
IFS, or Internal Family Systems is a world renowned method for reframing your daily experiences, emotions.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is one of the best known rapid therapies available today, with proven results. Eye movements plus set protocols for different issues make it a unique experience.
EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) is the leading method for clearing trauma, using memory reconsolidating methods and side-to-side eye movement or tapping.
Somatic Therapy is based on the psychological perspective that trauma and memories are stored in the body - by starting with the body, the mind can get on board with healing more easily.

Frequently Asked
Questions
-
The best way to reach out is by completing a contact form, below.
Otherwise, you may email directly at info@freemindtherapy.us
-
We often recommend starting with a 50min session as your therapist will be able to start creating your treatment plan. This can ensure the greatest chance of success and choice of modality.
Your therapist may determine, based on your presentation, that a series of 50min sessions may be best for you. However, if your goals are rather specific and clear from the outset and there is an approach that is designed to treat this, we may recommend an Intensive of 100-150min. This allows for more time to build on the intervention and create quicker results, rather than splitting it up and losing momentum.
-
Research consistently shows that virtual therapy is equally effective as in-person therapy, for the majority of mental health conditions, including trauma, PTSD and anxiety.
Virtual therapy is preferred by many due to the lack of commute, no waiting room, total privacy from your local community, and access to specialized care regardless of your location within the state.
Many clients share that they feel safer doing therapy in their own space, which can support the therapeutic process when working through emotionally demanding material.
All sessions at FreeMind Therapy are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, ensuring your privacy is fully protected.
If you are skeptical, I recommend requesting a free 20min video consultation so you can try it out before committing.
