Greetings and welcome to my page. Taking that first step to seek help can be tough, especially when you're trying to find the right therapist. Allow me to introduce myself and provide you with a summary of my experience. My name is Florence, and I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of extensive experience in the field. Employing an integrative approach in my practice affords me the versatility to employ a spectrum of evidence-based interventions tailored to suit the individual needs of my clients. Moreover, I operate from a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive perspective. I have worked with a variety of populations across the lifespan. From conducting outreach to marginalized individuals within the confines of the New York City subway system to comforting clients and families in nursing homes and long-term care facilities, I aim to be compassionate, understanding, non-judgmental and culturally competent. Specializing in addressing the mental health needs of both youth and adults, I am adept at navigating various challenges such as life transitions, academic concerns, depression, anxiety, bereavement, and trauma. One of my greatest passions is youth development and social emotional learning. There is profound fulfillment in facilitating individuals in acquiring the tools to navigate emotions, bolster resilience, foster confidence, and nurture self-esteem.

I specialize in working with first responders and veterans. I use a multi-model approach to fit each client's style and needs. I specialize in Client Centered, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. The mind's only job is to protect the body, our fear inducing thoughts that keep us in a constant state of alarm serve a purpose.

Hi, I’m Mercedes Harrison— and I help youth and adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next chapter move from self-doubt to clarity and confident action. Whether you're a child struggling to understand big emotions, a teenager trying to make sense of growing pressures, a young adult feeling lost in transitions, or someone further along in life wondering, “Is this really it?” — I’m here to help you find your footing again. I know how heavy it can feel to carry anxious thoughts, self-criticism, or a sense that you're falling behind. Maybe you're caught in comparison, struggling to make decisions, or just unsure of what you truly want. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. In our work together, we’ll create a space that’s calm, compassionate, and free of judgment. We'll begin to untangle the thoughts and patterns that are keeping you stuck, reconnect with your values, and build a sense of direction that feels true to you — one small, manageable step at a time. I support clients in learning to trust themselves, speak more kindly to their inner world, and take action from a place of clarity rather than fear. My approach is grounded, supportive, and tailored to where you are — whether you’re just starting to explore who you are, or ready to make meaningful changes in your life. This is about helping you come home to yourself — with more confidence, clarity, and alignment.

In therapy, I counsel individuals, families, couples, and children. No matter how trivial an issue may seem, everyone has issues in life. If it is causing you emotional pain, that is a good reason to seek out help. I understand everyone has a different journey in their lives and I would like to assist you in your path to self-discovery and healing. Your issues may be stress, loneliness, sadness, frustration, or concern for a loved one. You are not alone and I am ready to help you explore strategies to help you improve your life. Each session is provided in a warm and compassionate environment. I will ask you some questions so I can understand which issues you want to focus on. Therapy is a process of learning and the rewards are great. You will develop parts of yourself that you did not know existed. This will help you to become a better parent, partner, and best friend to yourself and your loved ones. Are you ready to take that step of self-discovery to become the best version of yourself? I want to guide you in your path to self-discovery, happiness, and peace. I have been counseling clients for over 24 years and I work with all populations. My counseling modalities include Cognitive behavioral therapy, Solution-focused, and Person-Centered therapy. When I counsel children, I use all of these in addition to Play therapy. Many of the therapeutic issues we work together on are Self-esteem, relationships, communication, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, Social skills, and grief. I am a licensed therapist and have a Masters Degree in counseling. I have spent many years counseling children, adolescents, and adults. Although therapy may look different with each population, the process is equally meaningful in all sessions.

As a counselor, I believe that healing begins with understanding — both of ourselves and of the patterns that shape how we live, think, and feel. My approach is person-centered, strength-based, and compassionate. I deeply believe in meeting clients where they are, and I honor the pace at which each person is ready to move. Growth takes time, and every step forward is meaningful. I hold the belief that we each already carry the strength, wisdom, and resilience we need within us — sometimes we just need help uncovering it. By gently shifting away from unhelpful patterns and learning to embrace more empowering ways of thinking and being, we make room for courage, clarity, and transformation. Most importantly, I want clients to know that this deep and necessary inner work doesn't have to be done alone. As a counselor, my goal is to walk alongside you — with honesty, care, and encouragement — as you navigate life’s challenges and rediscover what’s possible for you.

Early on I experienced an unwavering passion to help others. This deep-seated desire led me to pursue a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. My aspirations didn't stop there. Upon venturing into the social service field I gained a strong interest in working with deviant youth, giving me the motivation to complete a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, along with a Master's in Social Science with a concentration in Criminal Justice. After attaining four college degrees, I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. For over 8 years, I have dedicated myself to serving the community and gaining invaluable experience along the way. I have acquired educational, professional, and personal experiences which help guide others on their healing journey, overcoming trauma, cultivating emotional stability, and addressing psychological distress.

I am licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), based in South Florida. I received my bachelors degree in psychology, and masters degree in social work, both from Florida International University, with over 5 years of experience. As an LCSW, I have dedicated my career to supporting vulnerable populations. My expertise extends to young adults facing daily challenges including relationship issues, peer dynamics, and coping skills. In my practice, I welcome a warm and non-judgmental environment. I emphasize the development of effective communication skills, problem-solving strategies, and helping clients to navigate day to day stressors, their academic and personal lives. My compassionate approach fosters resilience, and empowerment in those I work with, making a meaningful impact on overall well-being. .

Many people struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, navigating friendships, connecting with your partner or building stronger family dynamics, but I am here to help. No matter how big or small the problem is, no one should face life challenges alone. I would be happy to be part of your journey of healing, seeking self-acceptance and optimal fulfillment to live your best life. My hope for our work together is that you complete therapy with a better understanding of self, emotions, behaviors and a unique toolbox to manage any stressors. I utilize person-in-environment approaches, where we are able to look at how the different domains of life are impacting you and vice versa. As a therapist, I am collaborative, exploratory, and realistic, which also means that I will challenge you to expand your perspective about yourself, emotions, thoughts, behaviors, relationships, family dynamics, etc. Being vulnerable is scary! In my practice, I view therapy as a collaborative process, where you are the expert of your life and experiences and I can help you to figure out where you want to go and how you want to get there. I welcome you to ask as many questions as possible to see if I am the right therapist for you. Nothing is off the table!
