My name is Flemens Casimir, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with four years of experience providing counseling services to individuals from diverse backgrounds and demographics. In addition to my work in general mental health, I also have extensive experience in substance abuse treatment, supporting clients who struggle with addiction and co-occurring disorders. I am currently in training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is enhancing my ability to support clients in addressing trauma that often contributes to ongoing mental health and substance use challenges. My therapeutic philosophy emphasizes meeting clients where they are in their current stage of life. I approach counseling with authenticity, empathy, and a commitment to being nonjudgmental, because I believe that when someone seeks mental health support, the last thing they should encounter is judgment. My goal is to create a safe and collaborative environment where clients feel empowered and respected as they work toward healing and growth.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed psychotherapist who works with adults seeking healing, emotional balance, and personal growth. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people are not broken, they are responding to their life experiences in understandable ways. Much of my work focuses on helping clients understand how early relationships and life experiences shape emotional patterns, self-worth, and relationships in adulthood. I have a particular interest in childhood and relational trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem, and I support clients in making sense of their experiences without judgment or pressure. I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels safe, respectful, and authentic. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or rigid techniques, but about developing self-awareness, emotional resilience, and trust in one’s own judgment at a pace that feels right for each person. I value open dialogue and view therapy as a partnership, where clients are active participants in their own healing process. I take a client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed approach to my work. This means I focus on your values, inner resources, and capacity for growth, while being mindful of emotional safety and individual pacing. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more confident in yourself, and better equipped to navigate life’s challenges with self-compassion. Outside of the therapy room, I am thoughtful, curious, and committed to ongoing learning. I bring that same care and attentiveness into my work with clients. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, I aim to offer a steady, supportive presence as you move forward.

I specialize in working with high-achieving professionals who, from the outside, seem to have it all together but are secretly grappling with burnout, isolation, and the weight of relentless stress. Having practiced family law for over 20 years, I intimately understand the unique pressures of demanding careers—the high stakes, the constant 'on' mode, and the way self-care often falls to the bottom of the list until anxiety or depression can no longer be ignored. My ideal client is someone ready to apply the same dedication they give their career to their own well-being. In this space, you have permission the mask.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over six years of experience, and my goal is to create a warm, supportive, and culturally aware space where you can genuinely feel seen and understood. My work centers on helping people navigate emotional ups and downs, major life transitions, and the lingering impact of early experiences that still shape how they move through the world today. I lean on evidence-based approaches, but I bring them into the room in a real, grounded way—so we’re not just talking about what’s hard, but actually uncovering root patterns and building tools that support real, lasting change. And before anything else, I want to acknowledge that choosing to show up for your mental health is huge. Taking that first step says a lot about your strength and your desire to grow, and I’m here to support you through that process.

Some days—or even weeks—can feel heavier than others, leaving you stuck or overwhelmed. That’s totally normal, but those feelings can start to affect your decisions, self-esteem, relationships, and daily life. Change can feel daunting without support, and that’s where I come in. I’m here to walk alongside you, helping you navigate challenges with humor, metaphors, and a focus on what really matters—so you can build a happier, more authentic life for yourself and those you care about.

Welcome! I know how hard it can be to reach out for support. If you're here, I want you to know that you're not alone and you don't have to figure everything out by yourself. I'm someone who believes in the power of feeling seen, heard, and understood. I believe that therapy should feel like a real conversation where you can breathe, think, and be real, not a clinical checklist. I believe you deserve a space where you don't have to pretend, perform, or be "put together". Therapy with me is about helping you feel safe enough to be your real, unfiltered self. The parts that feel strong and the parts that feel messy. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida and for over 6 years I've helped adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. A lot of the people that I work with are tired of wearing masks- the "strong one", the "fun one", the "reliable one". Underneath, they feel overwhelmed, anxious, numb, or disconnected from who they used to be. I help create a space where you can take those masks off without fear. You don't have to know the right words. You don't have to have everything figured out. You just have to show up as you are. Together, we'll work through what you're carrying and build tools that feel realistic and fit your real life. If you're tired of pretending and ready for a space where you can just be real, I'd love to support you.

I have lived a long and colorful life. Like everyone else, I've made good and bad choices and learned from each. I have 22+ years experience in the mental health and substance abuse treatment field. I DO NOT JUDGE, AT ALL, PERIOD. I can be both blunt and gentle as appropriate. My role is to offer another perspective, a way to see life more fully and function better, no more, no less. I don't pretend to have all the answers but only one slice of wisdom. I just share what can help someone. Some people are not yet ready to be helped. Yet for those who are feeling lost on life's journey and are willing to listen and learn, I'm here to assist. My life work can be summed up in three words, "offering people hope.
