The Emotional Wellness Warrior

Now accepting clients in person in Lakeland, Polk County, Florida!

Hello, my name is Kyle Lidge, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) providing expert, evidence-based therapy both online throughout Florida and in-person at our Lakeland office. As a USAF veteran-owned practice team member with over 15 years of experience in individual, group, and couples counseling, I specialize in helping adults and teens navigate life's most difficult transitions.

If you are looking for an experienced trauma therapist in Lakeland or a dedicated CBT counselor, I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to explore the root emotions behind unhealthy coping skills, irrational decision-making, and identity concerns. My approach is highly adaptable and rooted in proven modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) to help you shift the negative thought patterns keeping you stuck.

ICGC-Trained Gambling Addiction Counseling & Support

In addition to mental health and trauma, I provide specialized support for behavioral addictions. If you are searching for a gambling therapist or need local gambling addiction counseling in Lakeland, FL, I have completed the rigorous specialized training required for the International Certified Gambling Counselor (ICGC) credential. I am currently accumulating my advanced clinical hours toward formal ICGC certification. Whether you or a loved one are seeking help for sports betting addiction, online app wagering, or casino gaming, I partner with you to manage intense urges, repair financial stress, and regain control of your life.

In-Person in Polk County or Online Therapy Across Florida

Whether you prefer the face-to-face connection of an in-person therapy session in Lakeland or the convenience of telehealth counseling in Florida, I am here to support your journey.
