Laura Amelia Gutierrez
Hi, my name is Laura Amelia and I am a Bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have a wide variety of experiences working with different types of mental health issues but have the most experience helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders or have unresolved trauma. My hope is to provide a safe space for you to process your emotions, develop a deeper understanding of your needs, wants and who you are, and help you make progress in your healing journey. I want to help you reach your fullest potential. I am an EMDR therapist who tailors the treatment process to your needs. I use motivational interviewing to help you internalize confidence and figure out your why when you are contemplating change. I also integrate attachment theory into the healing experience and facilitate somatic and inner child work. Other modalities used are: CBT, DBT, ACT, EFT tapping. I am looking forward to listening to your story and joining you in your journey. The road to freedom starts with you when you decide to prioritize your healing, your needs and your well-being. Take that first step today and lets get started!
I use an integrative approach involving polyvagual theory to help build your nervous system resilience to prepare you to do the trauma work.
First session
We will get to know each other and the focus will be developing rapport, and exploring treatment needs and past counseling experiences. I will create space for you to feel safe being yourself and help you get more clarity on what you want to gain from counseling services.
Strengths
I am competent at helping people work through unresolved trauma. I use an integrative approach involving polyvagual theory to help build your nervous system resilience to prepare you to do the trauma work. I integrate attachment theory, EMDR, somatic psychotherapy and inner child work into the healing process. All in synergy create a recipe to release unresolved trauma from your body and subconscious. Personal growth and healing is ongoing, similar to cleaning your house, eating and taking care of your hygiene. We deserve to have the best life we can give ourselves and that is the intention of this process of collaborating together, to build a life worth living were you are able to be your authentic self and cope with problems that arise effectively.
Ideal clients
I am an EMDR therapist which is a great modality for working through trauma. EMDR helps remove the emotional charge attached to the trauma & helps integrate new info and beliefs that are adaptive, increasing well being and functioning. For many EMDR can be a turning point in their healing journey. Its a modality worth investing in if you feel stuck in your healing and want to have more control over your triggers.
