Background

About Patricia W.

I’m a Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern through the State of Florida Department of Health Division of Medical Quality Assurance, actively pursuing full licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from CACREP-accredited Hodges University and have delivered care across private practice, community mental health, and large-scale comprehensive mental health settings. My professional experience includes supporting individuals through trauma, life transitions, and emotional challenges in both intimate and high-volume environments. I’ve worked in private practice under qualified supervision and with community-based organizations serving diverse populations—where I deepened my skills in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, and collaborative, culturally responsive treatment planning. As a fully trained EMDR therapist through ConnectEMDR and a proud member of the EMDR International Association, I specialize in helping clients reprocess painful experiences and build emotional resilience. My counseling approach is person-centered, compassionate, and rooted in clinical integrity. I create therapeutic spaces that are safe and intentional—where individuals can explore freely, reclaim their narrative, and move toward meaningful healing. EMDR is central to my practice, complemented by somatic tools, mindfulness, and creative modalities designed to honor each client’s pace and story. Whether one-on-one or contributing to the broader conversation around mental wellness, I strive to make therapy accessible, grounded, and transformative.
