Lazy Lake, FL - Accepting clients in FL
I see the quiet strength it takes to keep going when the past feels heavy and the future uncertain. You have lived through trauma—pain that has left its mark on your body, mind, and heart. Whether it’s family wounds, sexual or physical abuse, or the unique challenges of navigating your identity in a world that hasn’t always embraced you, your experience is deeply real and profoundly valid.
It’s okay to feel lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected. It’s okay to have days when simply surviving feels like the bravest thing you can do. You are not broken—you are human. You have carried burdens that no one should have to carry alone, and yet here you are, still moving forward, still seeking healing and wholeness.
This is a space where your story can be held with tenderness and respect. Where your pain is met with empathy, and your growth is celebrated, no matter how small it may seem. You deserve to be seen, heard, and understood exactly as you are.
My work is about creating a space where your nervous system can slowly learn that it's safe to exist. To feel. To heal.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you — it’s about helping you come home to yourself, piece by piece, with compassion, safety, and care.
You are not defined by what happened to you. You are defined by your courage to face each day and your capacity to heal in your own time and way. I see you. I honor your journey. And I hold space for all the parts of you that are still finding their way back to joy and peace. I see you.

At The Listening Room, we provide structured, goal-oriented therapy for individuals, families, and court-ordered referrals. Our approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family-based interventions, and individual counseling to address a range of concerns—including anxiety, stress, relational issues, and behavioral challenges.
Sessions are focused and collaborative, with most clients beginning to report noticeable progress within 6–7 sessions. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges, family conflict, or mandated treatment, we offer a professional, supportive space where growth and healing can take place.
To make therapy more accessible, we’ve partnered with Grow Therapy, a trusted platform that manages insurance billing and referrals. While The Listening Room LLC is independently owned and operated, Grow Therapy helps streamline access to care by handling the administrative side—so we can focus on delivering quality mental health services and listen to you.

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.

Because sleep quality is critical to physical and mental health I am passionate about helping people get good sleep.
I received my PhD from Duke University and have been a practicing psychologist for many years. I work primarily with behavioral sleep medicine because sleep problems are so widespread and there are not enough specialists to meet the need. I continue working with people with anxiety, depression, and couples issues. The methods I use are evidence-based and trauma-informed. I am also an ordained member of the clergy (rabbi) and consider one's spirituality an important part of treatment for many, though not all people.
I’ve practiced telehealth exclusively since early 2020. Most people like working this way because of convenience. Therapy is not adversely affected and I am even able to do hypnosis via telehealth.
