Hello! My name is Lissette Argenal, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have more than 8 years of experience providing mental health therapy. I graduated with a master’s degree in Science in Mental Health Counseling in 2015 in Florida. I worked in a Florida Hospital in the Psychiatric Department, providing therapy for Baker-Act patients and patients with medical problems. I won the 3rd place in the Poster Conference for presenting the “Narcissist Victim Syndrome” at the Florida Mental Health Counseling Association 2017 conference. How May I help you today? — Are you going through depression, anxiety, mood disorders, adjusting to a new environment, phase of life difficulties, or substance abuse? — Are you dealing with toxic relationships, dating relationship break-ups, past or recent loss or any relationship issues? — Is your goal to stop being addicted to food, substances, internet, or any other addiction? — Can I help you to gain skills to cope with life struggles? My counseling style is very compassionate, genuine, empathetic, culturally sensitive, creative, insightful and problem-solving. I have excellent listening skills, and I am nonjudgmental. I do not push my values on patients. I work with the patients on problem-solving skills. I do not push my patients to talk if they do not feel it or if they are not ready to talk about something. I do not provide advice like a best friend. I am a professional mental health counselor and I do provide a humane, warmth empathetic understanding and can work with you on your treatment plan goals. I help you to heal your wounded mind and soul with evidence-based interventions or holistic approaches, and we work together in session to create your treatment goals and develop steps to achieve them! I also provide recommendations and referrals in your therapy session if needed.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Together, we will identify your challenges and goals - where you want your life to be a month, six months, a year from now. Then, we'll identify options and strategies you can use to get there. You'll leave the session with an understanding of what you're facing with an "actions I can take right now" approach. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
