Frequently rebooked
I am Licensed Mental Health Therapist for the State of Florida with over 9 years of extensive experience of counseling individuals from all diverse backgrounds. I am originally from Haiti and have found a great passion for my culture and a true appreciation for differences in all people. I have worked as a Psychotherapist in an inpatient Psychiatric setting, Mobile Crisis Response setting, and Outpatient Office and school Based Therapy setting. My philosophy in therapy is Life has many waves and therapy allows the clinician and the individual to find balance in the midst of life's ups and downs. Also, An individual is most successful in therapy when there is a trusting and mutual relationship between the therapist and the individual while providing exceptional therapeutic intervention to meet their specific needs.
Clients can definitely expect to feel safe and supported while receiving professional clinical support.
MY Passion to help others, Openness, Flexible, Ability to listen Empathetically , and Bilingual ability make improved support and connection with individuals and their families. Each person will team with myself to creatively developing a collaborative approach in treatment that meets their needs.
I see that each individual who comes into this platform to fight life's challenges is brave with that. I am excited to process this journey with them.

Joan has been the best!! She listens to me gives resolutions challenges me to come out of my comfort zone and she makes me laugh. Something I have not done in months. She is the best support system I have had in a very long time. I feel like I am talking to my best friend. My laugh is changing since I have started speaking with her. I look forward to see how my life will be with the next sessions
