Welcome, I am so glad you are here! My name is Karen Porta and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I received my Master's degree from Nova Southeastern University and have been practicing for approximately 7 years. I have worked with a multitude of clients with issues coping with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, life transitions, relationship issues, etc. It is truly my passion to work with clients through some of life's biggest challenges. Let's grow together! Also offer weekend appointments, please contact me for availability.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help to create an individualized plan for us to work through to meet your treatment goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Each client will be met with kindness, compassion and a safe space to work through their toughest challenges.
