LPC, 12 years of experience
Have you been wondering if your current challenges are due to past traumatic life events? Do you struggle in relationships? If so, I may be the Therapist for you. I specialize in trauma therapy for teenagers and adults. Many people often think trauma is only caused by violent crimes, acts of physical abuse, or natural disasters. They may also think because trauma happened a long time ago, it does not affect them in the present. These are a few of the myths about trauma. There are many types of traumas such as the sudden or unexpected death of a loved one, bullying, retaliation in the workplace, neglect from parents, infidelity, intimate partner violence, the witnessing of domestic violence and more. If you or your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, or life stressors, therapy with me can help with positive changes to strengthen self-esteem and confidence. I am trained in EMDR and other trauma therapy approaches. My years of professional experience as a teacher and counselor, along with my lived experiences as a Black person allow me to provide empathetic regard while helping clients from multicultural backgrounds.
Our first session together will focus on getting to know each other, address specific challenges of what you are currently dealing with, and then discuss your goals and what you plan to achieve at the end of therapy.

Florence is able to affirm me as I describe the lowest points in my life and to reframe my perspective in a manner that brings hope. She holds me accountable while helping me believe in myself.

Florence was welcoming, professional, and very empathetic toward my concerns and desired outcomes during our session. She held space for me and my family during our first time seeing her as a therapist. She did such a good job, my daughter asked if we could move forward with her as our family therapist.

She made it very easy to open up about past trauma and she is very sympathetic. I look forward to more sessions.
