Today is your day for CHANGE!!!
I’ve worked with a gamut of clients (Outpatient therapy, residential care, crisis and intensive care, family preservation, and foster care to name a few) and although my skill set is vast, my greatest expertise revolve in the worlds of empowering children and families, helping individuals reach their full potential, and motivating individuals to reach their goals in life. My wish is to combine my knowledge and experience in these areas, to deliver the best care and knowledge to children, families, and supporting agencies.
I have a Master Degree in Social Work from University of Missouri-Kansas City graduated in 2006. A Master Degree in Human Services Agency Management from Lindenwood University-1996-1998, and a Bachelor of Art degree in Mass Communication from Missouri Valley College in 1988.
I was fortunate to work at Butterfield Youth Services (a residential care center, alternative school, independent living program, and outpatient treatment center) for 23 years, from 1988-2011. During those 23 years I worked in many capacities; Program manager and creator of Girls Intensive Care Unit, Director of Admissions, Treatment team leader, Safe crisis management trainer, and many more titles that are mentioned in my resume.
* Phyllis has completed coursework and received a Masters degree from an accredited university; however, she is not fully licensed to practice independently, and is under supervision with a fully licensed Provider. The State of Florida allows individuals under supervision to provide clinical services to Medicaid patients.

Rates & Insurance
Breakthrough has not yet partnered with all insurance companies, but you or the therapist you select may contact your insurer about covering your online care. We strive to accept all insurers but we can not guarantee coverage.
If you receive care on Breakthrough but your insurer declines coverage, you will be billed at the therapist's self-pay rate.
If you can not find a therapist who accepts your insurance, call us at 1-888-907-3208 and we will try to find a therapist who can see you.
