Hello and Welcome! My name is Regina and I am a licensed mental health therapist based in Florida and I also hold licenses in South Carolina, North Carolina, Delaware and Massachusetts. With 12 years of experience in helping clients navigate their mental and emotional challenges. My approach is client-centered, focusing on the unique needs of each individual to foster personal growth and healing. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their feelings and experiences without judgment. Through my years of practice, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, addressing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues and life transitions.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In a typical counseling session, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. Each session begins with a brief check-in, allowing clients to discuss their current emotional state and any significant events since our last meeting. This is followed by an exploration of the topics or issues that clients wish to address, employing various therapeutic techniques tailored to their needs. Throughout the session, I actively listen and provide feedback, helping clients gain insights and develop coping strategies.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. I pride myself on tailoring my therapeutic approach to fit the unique needs of each individual, combining empathy with professionalism. My extensive experience across a variety of mental health issues allows me to offer effective and evidence-based techniques.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I thrive in working with individuals who are open to exploration and willing to engage in the therapeutic process. My ideal clients include those navigating the complexities of trauma, anxiety, depression and grief, as well as individuals seeking clarity and direction in their lives. I particularly resonate with those who appreciate a collaborative approach, where their insights and perspectives are valued.
