Hi, my name is Sandy. I am an LCSW, licensed in the state of Florida. I have been working as a clinical social worker for 39 years. I enjoy working with individuals who are invested in themselves and are seeking to improve their lifestyles and their mental health. I was a clinical manager for an intensive outpatient program that worked with everyone within the community, but focusing on military, first responders, and hospital employees. My last role was as a psychiatric inpatient social worker working with adolescents and adults. I currently am working for the same facility in a different capacity, supervising their clinicians and completing chart reviews.

My name is Susana Mejia Vargas. I am a fully bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and my main focus is to help clients with unresolved trauma. Depending on how you are affected, trauma can cause difficulties in your daily life, such as hopelessness, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, constant irritability, and stress. I help my clients better understand the challenging aspects of traumatic events that are affecting their emotional and mental health. I will make clinical judgments about how to proceed in certain situations, but you are an expert on yourself, even if you don't feel that way.

Feeling tense and on edge, restless, ruminating all the time, can't get out of bed, constantly worrying and feeling annoyed and irritable? You don't have to let anxiety, depression, anger or even relationship issues hold you down. I am a licensed therapist in the state of Florida with over 11 years of experience working with individuals on a host of different issues. All these experiences helped to make me the rounded clinician that I am today. Many individuals focus on their physical health while ignoring the most important aspect of their being and that is their mental health. I believe that focusing on one's mental health shows fortitude and strength. I can help you work through your anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, and issues with transitions in life. I take clients on the journey until they arrive at their destination. “Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start.” Nido Qubein. This quote sums up what I believe when it comes to working with my clients. Where you are right now does not define you, it is your starting point to get you moving in the right direction. The thought of therapy may sound daunting to you, but I can assure you that this could be one of the best decisions that you ever made. Investing in your mental health is priceless. You deserve to be heard and to be healed. This is my story, What’s yours? Let’s talk.
