About Althea Sawyers

As a Florida Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience, I work online using evidence-based models of therapy that get results. I help clients with issues of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma-related issues, goal-setting and performance hurdles, and other areas of self-empowerment.

My mission is to empower you to manage and become an overcomer of the obstacles and “stuckness” caused by these issues, so that you can start accomplishing your goals, begin feeling fulfilled, to confidently step out of the shadows and fears caused by past traumatic events by taking back the reins of control into your life, and to start living a life of fulfillment, peace, balance, and strength! Let me accompany you on your journey of rediscovering and re-establishing your strengths, and help you become equipped with the tools you need to become better problem solvers.

It’s not easy to decide on which therapist may be best for you, but I’m hoping you will take a leap of faith and allow you and I the chance to work together. I’m looking forward to meeting you soon and to helping you accomplish your goals!

“Althea is attentive and compassionate. She offered valuable solutions to help me on my journey.. I will continue my sessions with her and I highly recommend her to other.”

“Amazing”

“I've only had the privilege of having Ms. Sawyers as my counselor for 2 months but it was a very nice experience. In those two months, she did shed some light on things that was a bit difficult for me to understand in addition to listening me and allowing me to vent when necessary. I found the journaling particularly cathartic and her responses - even better. Outside of serious talk, she is always down to have a laugh or two, she has a great sense of humor. I recommend her 10/10.”

“Althea Sawyers sessions were very effective and really loved having her as a counselor. She is also very compassionate and gave effective exercises to help work through to improve marriage”

“Althea Sawyers is a warm, friendly voice I need to hear right now. She listens and is able to give useful feedback. I always leave our conversations with something to think about.”

“Anthea has a soft calming voice that immediately sets me at ease. She not only listens, she provides input and resources to help initiate and maintain positive change. Her plethora of experience gives her insight into challenging situations and complicated life issues. I highly recommend her.”

“Althea has really helped improve the communication in our relationship. Our sessions with her both together and individually have done wonders for the well-being of our relationship. I would absolutely recommend getting her help.”
