About Sergio

I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with over 22 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of mental health challenges. I take a client-centered approach that emphasizes trust, connection, and positive reinforcement. I have extensive experience addressing behavioral concerns rooted in childhood experiences and helping clients understand how early patterns continue to impact their lives today.

I earned my master’s degree in mental health counseling and rehabilitation counseling from Florida Atlantic University. My work integrates evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored to each client’s needs, allowing flexibility in approach while remaining focused on meaningful, measurable progress.

My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we will build insight, strengthen coping skills, and work toward lasting change so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward improved well-being.

"I am here to help clients and families restore their lives after mental health and addiction challenges."
