I am Shelldyne Paola Joseph-Vassor, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Margate, FL. I graduated from Barry University in 2011 with my MSW and am fluent in Haitian Creole. With over 13 years of experience in the mental health sector, including 6 years as a Clinical Therapist, I specialize in treating adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and adjustment issues. My extensive experience, skills, and education enable me to help clients restore balance in their complex and challenging life situations.
In our first session, we'll begin with brief introductions and then focus on the specific challenges you're facing. This will allow me to develop a customized plan for us to address in future sessions.
With a judgment-free approach, I support adults dealing with anxiety, stress management, and adjustment disorder in overcoming life's challenges, building positive coping skills, and breaking self-destructive patterns. I'm here to listen and collaborate with you, utilizing your strengths to help you achieve your full potential.
Using the CBT method, I collaborate with you to recognize unhelpful thoughts and challenge them. We'll examine how these thoughts impact your emotions and behaviors, and then we'll work on developing healthier, more balanced ways of thinking.
