Sophonie Gedeon
Welcome, my name is Sophonie Gedeon and I am a Bilingual (Haitian/Creole) Licensed Clinicial Social Worker in the state of Florida. With 11 years of experience working in settings such as crisis units, hospitals, private practice and schools, allow me the opportunity to help you navigate through disturbing feelings and situations. We will work collaboratively within a confidential space where you can speak from a place of transparency to identify presenting issues, and find realistic solutions where I diagnose from a clinical perspective. Obtain clarity, purpose, solution and identity through healing conversations.
First session
An initial conversation will remain at the surface level where I orient clients to the therapeutic process. As we move through the assessment and diagnosis phase, clients will be required to identify their reasons for seeking therapy, expectations, and changes they would like to see. Treatment modalities will also depend on the severity of the presenting problems and the identified issues. Clients can expect me to help walk them through uncomfortable conversations where they will be comforted through the use of a delicate approach. Be prepared to explore repressed memories buried underneath traumas and challenging experiences as we move through the healing process.
Strengths
My niche is providing cognitive behavioral therapy to adolescents and adults who suffer from intense symptoms of mental health disorders. Children are provided intervention through play therapy; in most cases surrounding abuse, this has been found to be most effective to allow children to retell traumatic experiences to illustrate their emotional condition.
