Lugannys Soto
Welcome! My name is Lugannys Lopez and I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida, and a National Certified Counselor. I have three years of experience working with at-risk children, adolescents, and their families in a community mental health setting. I have worked directly with clients with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, substance abuse, anger management, communication, parenting problems, ADHD, and family conflicts. My counseling style is interactive, strength-based, and collaborative. I believe in the therapeutic relationship and building good rapport with my clients to create a safe space to have open dialogues about their concerns. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. We will work collaboratively to discover strategies and solutions that work best for you. My approach combines person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Being aware of your needs and seeking help is a difficult yet courageous choice. If you are ready to take that step, I would be honored to walk with you on this healing journey, to support you, and empower you towards the path to wellbeing. I look forward to working with you!

Dr. Clifton Ables
Hello: I was born and raised in Florida, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist. I have provided mental health assessment, treatment, and consultation services as a clinical psychologist for 22 years so far. Prior to that, I practiced with a Master's degree for 10 years. So, I have enjoyed working with people to help them improve their mental health and overall functioning for more than 30 years. As far as my education, I received a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Florida, a Master's degree in Community Counseling from Georgia State Univeristy, a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology and a Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the Florida Institute of Technology. Life can be hard, very hard sometimes. It is fortunate if you have someone who is a well-trained, compassionate professional available to help navigate, make sense of, and overcome those seemingly overwhelming situations life throws at us. Gaining a sense of mastery and peace of mind are two common goals we all share, and psychotherapy is an effective way to achieve them. Those more than 30 years of professional training and experience are in addition to the inherent enhancement of insight which comes through experiencing 58 years of life on this planet. Engaging in psychotherapy is all about change....change for the better. Addressing client goals for change is a primary aspect of each patient's treatment plan. An ideal outcome from receiving mental health services is to experience your life in a new way via a fresh perspective armed with previously unknown insights and knowledge about yourself and your life now made available to you. This new and deeper understanding of our internal selves, our close relationships, as well as others in general, can be achieved through the psychotherapy healing process. You would not be here if you weren't seeking healing and change in your life for the better. I look forward to working with you to help significantly improve your overall mental health, mood, motivation, relationships, self-esteem, daily functioning, and sense of well-being.

I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, confidence, and coping skills. I have worked in various settings including schools, community-based care, residential, and agencies. My clients are often individuals and families who know setting a therapeutic objective is important for improving their well-being and are looking to implement the strategies that will assist in enhancing their every day wellness. Each client has a unique situation and needs different personalized techniques—whether that's through individual therapy techniques, learning coping skills, or addressing workplace stressors. You and I will collaborate as we design your therapeutic process by deciding what matters to you and what sources of wisdom are meaningful. I'm a raving fan of positive psychology. The emphasis of therapy should be collaborating, learning, laughing, and thriving to integrate significant therapeutic techniques. Above all, what matters is to establish rapport as we together identify the best ways for you to mitigate your symptoms. You and I are both people with imperfect experiences who cooperate with a shared purpose of implementing personalized strategies.
