Couples counseling

If you’ve been looking for real help right now, then you’ve probably seen plenty of psychotherapy websites that are short on details and full of vague philosophies and marketing hype. Our Holistic Therapy is different. If you’re serious, if you need effective solutions now, then take some time to read what’s here. You want answers? You’ll find them here. More questions? Want an appointment? Usually just a few days’ notice is enough. You will discover that this website is different, and that Holistic Therapy is the real thing. This is the place for rapid and enduring solutions.

Choosing the Best Mental Health Professional for You

When choosing a licensed professional therapist, please ask good questions, tough questions. If the answers are vague, old-fashioned, or just plain meaningless, then move on. Do your homework. This is serious. The choice of a therapist or counselor can never be undone, for better or for worse. You must ask yourself: If a therapist cannot help in a few weeks or months, then why on earth would you expect that you’d get more help by returning again and again for more of the same?

Most of the psychotherapy and counseling here is informed by Solution Focused Brief Therapy, a modern approach that is used by tens of thousands of counselors worldwide. As suggested by its name, this approach is often quite brief. The reason is quite simple. Traditional counseling devotes many months (or even years) to analyzing problems. That approach can be painful, expensive, and depressing, for two reasons. First, problems occurred in the past, so there is nothing that can be done about them. Second, problems are the result of behaviors that failed. By contrast, Solution Focused Therapy focuses on solutions that may have succeeded for you in the past and will succeed in the future, and the creation of brand new solutions that you may not have used before. This fundamentally shifts counseling from discussing what went wrong to what will go right — starting now!

What Does “Holistic” Mean?


A holistic therapist understands that your life has a great many important dimensions, and is always curious to understand the “big picture.” This is the opposite of how a specialist treats you. A holistic therapist understands that there is no dividing line between mind and body, and treats you accordingly. When you choose to see me, you can expect me to show much interest in many aspects of your lifestyle, not limited to the reason you chose to see a me. The more I learn about you as a whole person, (from which the word holistic comes), the better I can empower you to quickly be free of the complaint that led you to seek my help.

Here’s the bottom line: “Treat the person, not the symptom.

Are you suffering from frequent anxiety or panic attacks? Often these can feel like you’re having a heart attack. Some unfortunate people suffer so badly from anxiety or panic, that they live in fear of them all the time, which only makes their anxiety worse. In most cases, we can empower you to prevent anxiety and panic attacks indefinitely, and stop them quickly if one should ever recur in the future.

We offer cutting-edge marriage counseling, couples therapy, relationship counseling, holistic therapy, effective parenting guidance you can use today, clinical hypnotherapy (especially effective for quitting smoking, chronic pain, weight loss, insomnia, fears, addictions, depression and other unwanted habits). You can easily be taught to hypnotize yourself in the comfort of your home, whenever you feel the need, usually in just one session. All offered by a Cornell-trained doctor of psychology, former instructor at Harvard Medical School, Florida Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Florida Licensed Psychotherapist. The LGBTQ+ community is always welcome and understood. The fees are among the lowest in South Florida from therapists or counselors with comparable training and experience.


No Waiting, Ever!

Dr. Ransen knows that your time is as important to you as his time is to him. He will always see you at the time of your appointment. No exceptions! Ever been to a doctor’s office with no waiting room?

As you are deciding which therapist to visit, please take note of how many are dual-degreed doctors with over 44 years’ experience and 9 years of postgraduate training, like Dr. Ransen, having earned a PhD in Psychology from Cornell University, and his second degree from Nova SE University in Psychotherapy 25 years later. Dr. Ransen is not just an experienced psychotherapist with Ivy League credentials. His practice is also informed by the serious study and college teaching experience of beliefs and practices from the East, especially from the tradition of Zen Buddhism. He was fortunate to study for almost a year under the tutelage of Ram Das, formerly Dr. Richard Alpert, Harvard University professor of psychology. Ram Das has for over 50 years dedicated his life to communicating age-old Buddhist wisdom in ways readily understood by westerners. This experience has contributed to Dr. Ransen’s predominantly Western training and clinical practice.

A skilled, experienced therapist can make an enormous difference. Are you ready to start behaving and feeling like the person you remember, the person you hope to be again? The person so deeply admired by, and inspirational to others? You can become be that person again! Best of all, you can do it quickly and affordably, using natural, common-sense solutions. With Holistic Therapy, you’ll find no mystical practices or meaningless psycho-babble. You will not be tested, psychoanalyzed, diagnosed, or medicated.

Is your marriage or relationship now filled with lonely hours on the internet or watching TV? Ever feel like you’re living with an annoying roommate? Has your sex life slowly degraded into a dull chore, or vanished completely? Have you suffered from the heartbreak of infidelity? You will quickly discover that there is hope.

If you’ve been in weekly therapy for years, then maybe you should think again. If the therapy were effective, you would have found effective solutions much sooner. Please, for your own sake, consider this: If you’re doing something again and again, and it’s not working the way you hoped, then clearly it’s time to do something different! What could make more sense, and what have you got to lose?

As a holistic therapist, Dr. Ransen is dedicated to caring for your entire well-being, instead of focusing on narrow symptoms like ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, or dozens of other “disorders” that were invented a few years ago and will probably have different names in a few years. Mind-Body-Spirit is not a foreign language here. Have you been told you must “relive” painful abuse, trauma or PTSD? Dr. Ransen disagrees. He will show you how to let go of the pain, to begin a new life starting today, and to renew your friendship with happiness, calmness and peace of mind.

You won’t find energy healing, pyramids, crystals, chakras, past-life regression, healing your inner child, soul awakening, reflexology or horoscopes here — but you can expect therapy grounded firmly in compassion, mindfulness, and the very latest scientific evidence. Therapy of this quality comes only from a dual-degreed doctor with 44 years’ experience in the field and 9 years of post-graduate training, plus Board Certification to practice unrestricted clinical hypnotherapy in Florida and elsewhere. You can expect respectful, open-minded, and confidential treatment — and real results in just a handful of sessions.

Come alone, with a loved one, with a spouse or other relative, or with a youngster. Just come with hope in your heart. You can expect to leave with real solutions — not a diagnosis. Problems in life are not diseases, and are not resolved with mind-numbing drugs. Problems cry out for solutions — not cures — and Dr. Ransen provides The Place for Solutions.


Regardless of how difficult things may seem, our counseling really does work, beginning with the very first session. That’s not hype — it is literally true and backed with a guaranty.
