I have more than 20 years treating trauma, early childhood issues, and relationship problems. I graduated with honors from New York University in Master of Social Work with concentration in Clinical Social Work. I am what they call "a seasoned therapist", with many years of experience providing psychotherapy while keeping up my knowledge and training in the latest evidenced based techniques and theories. I have an excellent success record and I hope you give the opportunity to work together in finding your path to peace, tranquility and success. I have assisted adolescents to find their way to succeed in school, socially and in the relationships with adults during the past 20 plus years of my professional life. A great part of my work with adolescents ( and adults) has been in trauma, loss and separation issues too. Trauma significantly hampers the chances of success and happiness at personal, emotional, and economic levels. Trauma has been linked to serious mental and physical illnesses making its treatment a priority.

Hi! My name is Dasomi, and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 6+ years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse, trauma & anger management. As a social worker, I had the privilege of witnessing how therapy or counseling can empower someone while going through difficult and tough life circumstances. If you are taking a step to seek for therapy, something in your life must have led you to this path, right? I am here to walk with you in that process of healing and building up your mental muscle. We will spend time to reflect on the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and actions, and I like to challenge my clients to think out of the box that they've become conditioned to. This process may be uncomfortable and challenging, but I believe change only happens when you try something different. I am open to incorporate spirituality in our sessions, as I deeply believe that we, as human beings, have an innate attraction to "something out there" then just what can be seen with our physical eyes. It tells me that there's an ideal that each of us try to reach for in life. And I'd love to explore that with you. Let's have a good talk.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
