Clinician
Lorena (she/her) is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. She received her Master’s and Specialist degrees focused in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Florida. Her experience includes navigating issues related to depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, life-transitions, and self-esteem. Lorena also has experience with couples and families through the lens of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) working on healing ruptured relationships, rebuilding trust and safety, considering separation, and rediscovering their love for one another.
Lorena is a passionate advocate for social justice in our communities, and for emotional and physical safety in our relationships. That passion comes through in her trauma-informed systemic approach to therapy. Lorena also offers clinical services in Spanish.
Lorena holds a kind and authentic presence in her sessions. She meets vulnerability with deep compassion, empowerment, and above all, respect. Lorena believes people are complex and are
doing the best they know how, given their circumstances and resources. She works collaboratively with clients to create a space where they can speak freely and receive support. She believes people are fiercely resilient and can carve their path to healing. Navigating that journey is her focus in counseling.
In her free time, Lorena loves spending time with her family and kitties, and going on outdoor adventures.
