About

I am Casandra, a licensed mental health counselor, with over 10 years of experience providing individual, group, and couples therapy. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. 

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addiction, crisis stabilization, self-esteem issues, anger management, relationship issues, and abuse, including domestic violence. 

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with compassion, respect, and sensitivity. I incorporate different theoretical orientations  and treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs. It is important to me to build a strong therapeutic relationship.

Hello, my name is Aliya! First, congratulations on your step toward change! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor serving the Sunshine State of Florida with over 16 years experience. I am passionate about assisting those in this journey of life as they work toward the future they envision for themselves.

I have extensive successful experience working with preteens, adolescents, and adults of any age who may be struggling with emotional challenges of life or searching for balance and purpose. This may present as depression, anxiety, stress, behavior changes, life transitions, employment challenges, grief and loss, anger, parenting conflict, suicidality and self-harming behaviors, intrapersonal and interpersonal conflicts, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, racial trauma and adjustment issues.

It is all about you! Let's talk. This is your space to express your innermost thoughts and challenges. Creating an open, non-judgmental environment allows people to feel heard while using their already-established strengths. Your safety and confidence are most valuable in this process.
