Suzanne Stokes, LMHC
About me
As a licensed therapist in Florida, I bring nearly four decades of compassionate clinical experience to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding the nuanced emotional landscapes of personal growth, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and self-esteem concerns.
I am dedicated to creating a supportive, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients can explore their inner experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop meaningful strategies for personal transformation. My practice centers on empowering individuals to navigate life transitions, overcome social anxieties, and cultivate deeper self-understanding.
My professional focus spans a wide range of human experiences—from workplace stress and family dynamics to multicultural challenges, trauma recovery, and personal identity exploration. I approach each client's journey with genuine empathy, respect, and a commitment to helping them discover their inherent strengths and resilience.
Special****October through January 1st I have a goal of meeting 12 new clients to begin this wonderful work! Won't you sign up with me? I can be fluid with my schedule if you don't find the right time to meet on my Better Help schedule. I can't wait to meet you. Let's talk!
