Hello I am Aida Sek, LCSW, a bilingual trauma psychotherapist, holding licenses in the states of Florida, Virginia and Colorado. Some of my specialties include trauma, addiction and codependency recovery, PTSD resolution through EMDR, perinatal mental health, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, conflict resolution, multicultural and adjustment issues. Being born in Colombia, made me understand the value and importance of cultural, ethnic, and varied backgrounds, and recognize the multitude of strengths born from these areas. Specific to my practice, each client is met with a sacredness regarding their culture and background, holding the client in unconditional positive regard.
So, if you’ve made the decision to seek help, you should know just how much strength you truly have. I follow a trauma informed and strength-based therapy approach that is built on the foundation of a respectful, authentic, collaborative, and loving relationship so that my clients can feel safe and valued. My goal is to provide an environment where you can trust that you will never be judged for speaking freely and honestly. In our first session through a collaborative, holistic and client-centered approach, we'll have the opportunity to know each other and then dive into the specific challenges you are curently facing.
Through my experience I have learned to utilize an integrative and eclectic approach to assist clients identify their paths to well-being, finding hope and revealing the most authentic versions of themselves overcoming , trauma, depression, anxiety, isolation and addiction. What my clients often share with me is that I bring a calm, compasionate presence that makes it easier to open up about even the most paintful experiences. My therapeutic approach is trauma -informed and integrative. I combine proven methods like CBT, midfulness, and somatic awarerness with a stregth s-based prespective. For clients who desire it, i also bring faith-based encouragment. This allows us to not only work through difficult symptoms like anxiety, depression, or trauma respinses, but also to uncover resiliense, hope, and a deeper sense of purpose. The result is that many clients begin to feel more grounded, comfident, and empowered, not just managing their struggles, but truly moving forward in life.
I strive to maintain a practice where every client feels supported. Through my knowledge and experience, working with populations such adults, adolescents, and children, I have assisted the improvement of the lives of multitude patients who have experienced trauma, perinatal mental health, substance-use disorders, mental health, co-occurring disorders. Together our goal is to move beyond survival and reclaim a life filled with hope, strength, and purpose .
