How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

Hi, I’m Andressa—a therapist passionate about helping people reconnect with their inner strength and navigate life’s hardest moments with clarity and compassion. I specialize in working with individuals facing anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, grief, and relational struggles—even when there’s no formal diagnosis involved. My approach is warm, direct, and insight-driven. I create a supportive space where you can reflect deeply, experience emotional breakthroughs, and start seeing yourself—and your patterns—more clearly. Clients often tell me they finally feel understood and experience “aha” moments that shift how they relate to themselves and others. As a bilingual, first-generation immigrant, I bring lived experience to the work I do. I understand the complexity of holding multiple identities, navigating transitions, and finding your voice. Whether you're unpacking emotional pain, processing trauma, or simply trying to feel more grounded, I’m here to walk beside you.

I have 8 years of experience as a Family Nurse Practitioner in primary care and Gastroenterology/Hepatology. As a nurse practitioner, I am trained and qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, and prescribe medication. I have certifications in CBT and EMDR and provide therapy services. I completed the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases Hepatology NP/PA Fellowship. I am a member of the American Nurses Association, Massachusetts Coalition of Nurse Practitioners, and the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases. I specialize in providing holistic psychiatric care that harmoniously combines evidence-based knowledge with heartfelt compassion. My approach is tailored to the needs of those dealing with anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions, with a specialized focus on women in their 20s through 50s. My encounters, interests, and skills have shaped my dynamic practice. I'd love to learn about your journey and how I can help. My practice is heavily influenced by Western, Caribbean, and Indian practices, blending a rich fusion of modern and traditional medicine. This supports my ability to deliver exceptional care to my patients and help you achieve optimal mental health and well-being, leading to happier, less anxious, and calmer lives. It is my mission to enhance both your mental and physical well-being through thorough assessments, tailored therapy, coaching, and prudent medication management, all within a holistic framework that respects time-tested traditional wisdom and embraces contemporary medical advancements. I am honored at the opportunity to accompany you on your journey toward joyful and meaningful mental health wellness. Together, we will develop a personalized plan that supports you.

Hi! Thanks for checking out my page. Considering a new therapist can be overwhelming, so let me tell you a little about myself: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Intern which means I am qualified to provide therapy in the state of Florida. I am a wife and mom of boys, and my great privilege in life is to listen to other people's stories and support them in their personal growth through a relational and collaborative approach to therapy. A trusting therapeutic relationship can make or break your therapy experience. I do not subscribe to any one type of therapeutic modality because everyone is different and has unique needs! That being said, some conditions show improved responses with particular interventions; if I feel like I cannot provide the particular type of therapeutic intervention you need I will be up-front and honest about that, and willing to help you find another suitable therapist. I currently only offer telehealth to Florida residents and do not accept any insurance. If you cannot afford my rate I may be able to accommodate you on a sliding scale that is .01% of your income. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation if you would like more information about me or this process. Take good care.

Hi! မင်္ဂလာပါ! My name is Sandy and I am Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing counseling to teenagers (12+) and adults in Illinois. My past clinical experience includes working with adolescents and adults, and veterans, especially those with past trauma and/or those who struggle with anxiety and depression. I also am passionate about working with immigrants, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ community members and multicultural populations. I especially believe in providing support for these populations as they are often systematically underserved and overlooked in behavioral health and healthcare. My therapeutic approach is informed by social justice, empathy, cultural humility, and respect for diversity. I believe in creating a safe and inclusive space where clients can explore their experiences, process their trauma, and reclaim their sense of agency and resilience. Being an immigrant myself, I understand firsthand the challenges and difficulties of immigrating and navigating life in a new country while preserving one's cultural identity. Drawing from evidence-based modalities such as trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), humanistic therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), I work collaboratively with clients to address the unique challenges they face, including acculturative stress, discrimination, and intergenerational trauma. My goal is to empower clients to heal from their past experiences, help end cycles of trauma and cultivate a sense of resilience in their lives. As a therapist, I enjoy creating a safe space for individuals to share their experiences, thoughts, and emotions without judgment or biases. I hope empower clients to heal from their past experiences and help them move closer towards their goals. If you're ready, feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute free consultation call.
