Hello there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I have experience working with women facing many different life challenges across the life span, and I specialize in women’s issues, parenting, anxiety, and trauma. My approach to therapy is person-centered and strength-based. I partner with you to identify what your strengths are, and how we can use those assets to tackle the current challenges you are facing. Something is concerning you right now, and I am here to partner with you to work through this! Together, we will identify your strengths, areas where you need support, and develop a plan to get you where you want to be. Every person is unique, and I encourage my clients to have open and honest communication with me to ensure that you are getting exactly what you want out of therapy. Therapy is your special time to learn and grow, and I'm excited to assist you on this journey!

I have been a mental health counselor for almost 30 years, in Cuba, my country and in the USA. As a psychiatrist, I specialized in medication management, and individual, group, family and couples counseling. I've published articles and books on family and couples therapy. I have been working in a crisis intervention service for several years. After that, I worked at a community mental health service. My therapeutic style is eclectic. I use various techniques that fit with the case and the current problem. I often practice cognitive behavioral, narrative, conflict resolution and client-center techniques. To treat families and couples I usually proceed with the systemic-constructivist model. For individual cases and couples and families I establish the necessary rapport. In a few sessions, customers often make great progress. Empathy, unconditional acceptance and humor are important issues in my work. Having studied and worked counseling in various cultural environments allows me to better understand the dynamics of customers. After I approved credentials in the USA, I have worked in individual counseling with children and adults for over 12 years. I have been professor of clinical psychology in Cuba and in USA. I currently deliver a behavioral analysis as lead analyst for children and young people with autism and other disabling mental conditions. Welcome to the online counseling room, which will be our private and secure place to communicate. You can enter this room from any Internet-connected device wherever you are. To help us get started, can you please tell me what brought you here? Just write a few short sentences about the challenges you're experiencing or what you would like to talk about and we will go from there. Looking forward to working with you, Francisco Almagro (MD, (Cuba), Psychiatric, Specialist, (Cuba), MHC, (EUA))

My name is Kristine Bartos and I am excited for the opportunity to collaborate with you. In my professional work and in my own life, I have discovered that truly understanding ourselves is a major component of any successful therapy, as self-knowledge can empower us to act consistently with our values and objectives despite the "noise" we hear from within and without. Therefore, a major foundation of my practice is cognitive behavioral. It's the work of understanding how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, and developing expertise in the feedback loops of your own behavioral triad. I also like to incorporate a psychodynamic approach to address unresolved formative experiences as needed, as well as to provide practical guidance in symptom relief. Building coping skills for the here and now is essential to finding satisfaction in, and sticking with, the therapeutic journey. In addition to CBT, my background includes mindfulness-based practice and an interest in neuropsychology, and I like to incorporate both when indicated. My therapeutic style is warm and encouraging. I am goal and action-oriented as an individual, so I am good at combining a safe and welcoming therapeutic style with a more structured skill acquisition and concrete progress-based approach. I earned a Masters of Science in Social Work from Columbia University in 2012 and have since found my niche working with adults and adolescents in medical settings. My experience includes providing counseling and crisis intervention to clients presenting with a broad range of issues, including anxiety and depression, substance misuse and abuse, trauma, major chronic and/or life-threatening medical conditions, and other adjustment-related issues. As a result of working with such a diverse population in these settings, I have developed a strong belief in adapting my approach to you, the client, because our stories and challenges are unique. I would love to hear how I may be able to contribute to your life.

I am licensed in Florida with over 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, & career difficulties. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
