(she/her)
I’m Zoila (Soy-la) (she/her/hers/ella) a gender affirming Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’m a first generation graduate, Latin-X clinician practicing in the Tampa Bay area. I’m currently working with all folks with emphasis on people of color (POC) coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, family conflicts, 2sLGBTQIA+, multicultural issues and women’s issues ages 15 and up.
In our first session we will develop trust through rapport building, address any questions, barriers and needs. We will discuss clear expectations for session including their Biopsychosocial Assessment and development of treatment plan. We will address tele mental health limitations and risk, providers schedule and attendance policy and safety plan as needed, risk and safety, and mandated reporting.
I easily build trust with my patients as they often feel emotionally safe to be vulnerable. I empower folks to remain open to the therapeutic experience and allow their inner wisdom to guide them. I welcome and honor my patient's cultural influences and ancestry. I create an even power container to illuminate to my patients their inner wisdom and control they hold.
I enjoy working with young adults/professionals during transitional phases. I work with adults experiencing grief, anxiety, and trauma. I have experience with parenting, family discord, and self discovering journey's. I empower my clients to remain present through somatic practices and mindfulness breathing. I am currently working towards sound healing certification to incorporate in practice.

I empower adults surviving with trauma through somatic movements and psycho education on trauma impacting our vagus nerve. I empower adults to relearn and return to their safe space to trust their inner wisdom. You will learn to regulate your nervous system in a safe container where you are welcomed authentically.

I felt so comfortable talking to her. Felt nothing but support and most importantly I felt seen.

Zoila is committed to supporting people on their healing journeys and has helped me so much on mine. She has a down-to-earth, compassionate, and genuine vibe that makes you want to keep doing the work. I have so much gratitude for the support she has offered to me. Zoila constantly empowers me to keep pouring into myself so I can show up for my community.

I was very hesitant about scheduling my first therapy session because opening up to someone felt extremely overwhelming, but I was so wrong. Zoila made me feel extremely comfortable, and I cannot thank her enough for it. I cannot wait for our next session.
