Therapists in Florida

I am a social worker in Florida with 6 years experience. I have worked with crisis and suicide prevention for many years. My specialties include substance abuse counseling, and grief and loss counseling. I find that I am able to understand my clients in ways that others cannot. With a technique that incorporates finding one's own Inner Strength and uncovering things that they do not know about themselves. It is important to realize the positive qualities of not only yourself but your life in general and use that as the basis to better yourself. It is time to make the decision to be better.

I am a Mental Health Therapist and Personal Development Coach licensed in the state of Florida. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and coping with life stressors. My counseling style is warm, supportive and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, compassion and acceptance. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, insight-oriented, and solution-focused therapies. I tailor treatment plans to meet the unique and specific needs of my clients. I obtained my Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling at Nova Southeastern University. I also attended Florida International University, where I earned a Bachelor of Art in Sociology and Anthropology and a minor in Psychology. As a Mental Health Counselor/Therapist working in the community I quickly realized the need for not only mental health services and awareness, but also guidance and support. My personal and professional experiences led to the creation of Doing the Possible Counseling LLC. Developed from wanting to assist my clients with making positive life changes, reaching their goals, and living happier healthier lives. I provide my clients with the tools necessary to change their mindset and allow themselves to believe that positive change and a happier life is possible. If you are ready to take that step toward a happier life that is uniquely yours, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
