My name is Daphne Choute, and I am a licensed mental health therapist in Florida. As the owner of Paved Counseling Services, my passion lies in helping individuals heal from trauma. The name "Paved" reflects my belief in the power of community and the importance of paving the way to healing together. I am grateful for the foundation my parents provided, instilling in me a passion for helping others and guiding me on this transformative journey.
Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working with diverse populations, including teens who have been human trafficked, individuals struggling with substance abuse, survivors of domestic violence, and those grappling with grief and loss. This exposure has deepened my understanding of the complex challenges faced by individuals affected by trauma.
I offer a faith-based perspective and have experience with family therapy. Through my work and personal experiences, I have come to realize the profound impact family has on individuals and how it influences generations. I have seen firsthand how the dynamics within a family can shape behavior, emotional responses, and coping mechanisms.
Drawing from my own personal experiences, I have developed a profound appreciation for non-traditional healing methods that go beyond talk therapy alone. I have witnessed the transformative power of holistic approaches that address the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit, allowing individuals to reconnect with their authentic selves before the trauma occurred.
I firmly believe that healing from trauma is a deeply personal and individual journey. Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of working with clients who have displayed a wide range of symptoms and coping mechanisms. I understand that while the pain may be universal, the experiences of guilt, shame, and self-preservation vary from person to person. Some clients may struggle with making eye contact, overwhelmed by a sense of shame, while others adopt defensive attitudes as a means of self-protection. I recognize that these coping mechanisms serve a purpose in keeping individuals safe.
In my practice, I meet clients where they are, recognizing that building trust is a delicate process. Together, we navigate the healing journey, whether it involves venting, expressing anger, or engaging in physical activities that release pent-up emotions. I am committed to creating a safe space where you can authentically express yourself and work through the challenges that trauma has presented.
By honoring the uniqueness of your experiences and providing a nurturing environment, we can explore your pain and empower you to move forward. I firmly believe that healing is a collaborative effort, and together, we can navigate the complexities of trauma, uncover your inner strength, and pave the path to a brighter future.
