Hello!
About Me:
My name is Lissette Argenal and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have around 7 years of experience providing mental health therapy. I graduated with a master’s degree in Science in Mental Health Counseling in 2015 in Miami, FL. I worked in a hospital in the psychiatric department providing therapy for Baker-Act patients and patients with medical problems for a year. I also have experience working with all ages and stages of human life, including mood disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, substance abuse, addictions, trauma, and relationship issues. I also offer emotional support and therapy if all you need is to process and express your feelings with someone with good listening skills focused on grieving, living alone, issues related to lifestyle, issues related to unspecified psychosocial circumstances or other counseling and consultation.
How May I help you today?
- Are you going through depression, anxiety, adjusting to a new environment, or phase of life problems?
- Can I help you to cope with mood disorders and/or substance abuse?
- Are you dealing with toxic relationships, dating relationship break-ups, past or recent loss?
- Is your goal to stop being addicted to social media or to lose weight but do you need emotional motivation?

Lissette has been a blessing to me. From day one she has been supportive, understanding, and patient. When I started therapy, I didn't know what to expect. I just knew that I was tired of working through things on my own. With her guidance, I feel like a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I couldn't have asked for a better therapist. Thank you, Lissette!
