My name is Chantell and I am a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Clinician located in South Florida. Fluent in English and Spanish. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My main therapeutic approach is EMDR and Trauma Focus Therapy . I have provided trauma-focused individual therapy and facilitated support groups for grief and loss and parenting skills in Community Mental Health agencies. I also facilitated psychoeducational groups for domestic violence survivors. I created a support group named "The Self-Love Club" at a non-profit organization located in South Florida for women and men who experienced domestic abuse and toxic relationships.
In our first session, we will begin with introductions in the case that we did not have our phone consultation before the session. Next, we will complete some assessments together and then address the specific challenges and symptoms you are experiencing. This will help me better understand your situation and create a tailored plan for us to work with throughout our sessions together.
I have ample experience in helping individuals with stress and anxiety, past/current trauma and abuse, depression, coping with grief and loss, unhealthy relationships, self-esteem, and self-love.
My main treatment modality is EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This type of therapy has shown to be very effective for a number of mental health problems such as trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, chronic pain, low self-image, and more. This treatment method has proven to be the most effective in my practice.
