Therapists in Florida

Welcome to a new way of looking at life. We are going to problem-solve and overcome obstacles together. All you will need is to be open and willing to work through the process. I started out my career working at the Department of Children and Families in New York where I discovered I wanted to obtain my Master’s degree in Counseling because I wanted to help individuals achieve their goals. I obtained my degree and commenced in the counseling field in 1996 working with families. I gained experience in mood disorders (depression, bipolar), substance abuse, conduct issues, and familial conflict. As the years passed, my knowledge expanded in mental health and substance abuse while working in inpatient and outpatient treatment with adults. I currently live in Florida where I achieved my LMHC and continue to work with individuals grappling with emotional, behavioral, and cognitive conditions. My ability to speak two languages (Spanish and English) has allowed me to reach a broader population. I know how difficult it is to make the decision to ask for help and begin the process of modifying ones thoughts and behaviors. However, I want to make this journey as smooth and painless as possible. I see emotional serenity in your future and I look forward to hearing from you.

As your therapist, my role is to support your mental health and well-being within the scope of therapy. FLORIDA BOARD TELEHEALTH REQUIREMENTS: The Florida mental health licensing board requires video sessions instead of phone sessions for telehealth services to ensure client safety, proper assessment, and verification of identity. Here are some key reasons behind this requirement: 1. Standard of Care – Video sessions allow therapists to observe nonverbal cues such as body language, facial expressions, and overall demeanor, which are critical for accurate assessment and effective treatment. 2. Client Identification & Security – Video sessions help verify that the therapist is speaking with the correct client, reducing risks related to identity fraud or unauthorized individuals participating in therapy. 3. Ethical & Legal Considerations – Florida law requires licensed mental health professionals to maintain appropriate documentation and standards of care comparable to in-person therapy, which video conferencing helps facilitate more effectively than phone calls. 4. Crisis Management – In case of a crisis or emergency, a video session allows the therapist to assess the client’s environment, emotional state, and potential risks, providing better support and intervention if needed.
