With a direct yet compassionate approach to therapy, I help clients identify issues that are causing distress in their lives. I have 36 years of experience and have written two books: "Bipolarized" and "Borderline" -- one on bipolar disorder and the other on borderline personality disorder. Many clients gain insight into their disorders through reading my books and identifying a list of issues to work on in therapy. Hypnotherapy is extremely valuable and I ask clients to record the sessions to listen to the recording every day. This reinforces positive messages to improve self-esteem, reduce anxiety, stress and depression and identify relevant issues on a subconscious level.

My name is Nilda De la Fe and I’m a Florida licensed Mental Health Counselor. I earned my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova University and began my professional career immediately after graduation. My first job was at a physical rehabilitation hospital where I worked with individuals of all ages. These were patients in treatment for multiple conditions including spinal cord injuries, head injuries, strokes, multiple sclerosis, knee and hip replacements. This experience was the base from where I developed my theoretical framework. For the past 20+ years, I have worked with many individuals and families, each with their own unique challenges and views.

During this first session, I want to be able to understand your situation and discuss some goals for the short and long term.

So, don’t wait any longer. Your journey towards emotional, psychological, and social well-being is just a step away.

Accepting clients in FL

You may be nervous about participating in therapy due to worries of feeling vulnerable or being judged. I work hard to provide an environment that is accepting and supportive and simultaneously looks for ways that increase growth and healing. My approach emphasizes skill-building, self-knowledge, and balance. My experience has included working with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, self esteem issues, family conflict, trauma, and other issues that accompany adolescence and adulthood. Together we'll explore the tools that will work for you in working through your issues and coming out stronger! I view my role in your life as being part of your team where I can help you determine what is best for you. It is through working together that I believe positive changes can occur.

Port St. Lucie, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I am originally from Chicago and I have called Florida home for over 20 years. I believe that everyone is capable of greatness if they can only get the direction and chance that they need. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step". To me this means that no matter where you have started in life and whatever challenge that you are facing, you are not stuck and you can achieve things that you may not have been able to imagine. My goal is to help individuals any way that I can and I would love to be the catalyst to help you reach your full potential. My specialties include depression, anxiety, trauma, aggression, and relationships-family and couples. Finances should never be a barrier to treatment. Call today and see if an arrangement can be worked out that can meet your needs.

Davie, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Being rooted in traditionalism, with exposure to the modern, has allowed me to be open to learning about life in new, non-traditional ways. My open mindedness later in life helped me to embrace the process of learning and to be more comfortable with the journey of shifts and transitions that we all go through in life. Through this process I have sought and embraced new paths, which allows me to connect with both young people and adults. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years’ experience supporting, empowering, and teaching both children and adults.
