Are you frustrated, feeling overwhelmed, or unsatisfied with your life? I'd like to applaud you for taking the first step to improve your life: finding a therapist. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for the state of Florida and a nationally credentialed Board Certified Art Therapist, I am committed to therapeutically assisting you generate solutions to enhance your life using unique and modern evidence-based practices. I have over ten years of experience working with children and adults through individual and group sessions providing counseling in community-based as well as hospital settings. In the community I have provided in-school as well as in-home services; and in acute hospital settings I have provided both inpatient as well as outpatient psychiatric services. I believe incorporating the healing properties of mindfulness, yoga, and expressive art therapies is a natural progression for individuals interested in achieving a healthy mind, body, and soul; but also recognize some clients may prefer more traditional methods. While taking a holistic approach, I provide therapeutic services maintaining a positive and solution-focused outlook. I have experience assisting clients decrease symptoms and establish coping skills related to anxiety, communication, depression, impulse control, problem solving, self-esteem, substance abuse, and trauma; to name a few. I look forward to assisting you along your journey to wellness.

Winnifred Pierre
Hello!! Welcome to the BetterHelp Community. My name is Winnifred Pierre and I am the Licensed Clinical Social Work practicing in West Palm Beach, Florida. I graduated from the University of Florida with a B.S in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I graduated from Barry University with M.S.W in Social Work. I have experience working in various treatments with settings including psychiatric hospitals, outpatient, residential (mental health and substance use), and foster care. As a South Florida native and daughter of Haitian immigrants, I am passionate about providing accessible mental health services to meet the needs of individuals with culturally diverse backgrounds. I would describe my therapeutic approach as goal oriented and client centered. I believe that everyone is on different paths in the journey of life. I meet each client where they are at in their journey and work collaboratively to determine goals for treatment. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. One of my favorite quotes is "Be the change you wish to see in this world." I look forward to working with you to accomplish the changes you wish to see.

Jaime Masotti
Hi! My name is Jaime and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of clinical experience. I am licensed in the state of Florida. I am originally from North Carolina and received my undergraduate degree from UNC-Chapel Hill (Go Heels!). After graduation, I worked at the N.C. Children's Hospital providing therapeutic services to children and adolescents. In 2004, I moved to Winston-Salem, NC to begin a graduate program in Counseling at Wake Forest University. Since 2006, I have worked in public and private schools in Atlanta, GA and Raleigh, NC. I became a licensed professional counselor in 2008 and am passionate about providing quality therapeutic care. My approach to counseling is client-centered in that I strive to provide a comfortable and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. I also utilize interventions from other counseling theories to create appropriate treatment plans. Through Solution-Focused Theory, I provide support to the client by focusing on solving problems instead of being stuck in the past. I also help the client set short and long terms goals to achieve personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Theory is another effective counseling modality I pull from during our sessions. It is similar to Solution-Focused Theory in that it focuses on the future but it also involves changing unhealthy thought patterns. I also incorporate relaxation techniques and teach coping skills as needed. In my free time, I enjoy running, reading, and practicing yoga. I also love spending time with my family at the beach, riding bikes in the neighborhood, and cooking in the kitchen. My husband and I have been married for almost 17 years and are always looking forward to travel adventures!
