Hello, I’m Andrés, a dedicated mental health therapist based in Tampa, Florida. I am committed to providing care and support to a diverse range of clients. My expertise includes working with individuals experiencing their first episodes of psychosis, as well as those dealing with ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, depression, grief, men’s issues, parenting challenges, relationship issues, stress, trauma, PTSD, impulse control, mood, and thinking disorders. My practice is open to all who seek individualized therapy and support.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck in life? Often it is difficult to pinpoint what is wrong as it is common to experience seasons in our life when we wish our circumstances were just different. These times may result from challenges in our careers, broken relationships, death of a loved one, or unexpected changes. In our time together I will listen to your story and work together with you using evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Brainspotting to help you experience fulfillment.

As someone who has experienced and overcome many challenges in my life, I am able to bring a personal dynamic to my counseling practice. Whether you are experiencing issues from trauma, mental health issues, substance abuse, relationship problems, stress, anger, or other issues, I am able to assist with the healing process and provide better coping skills for a happier life. I promise to be there as you walk along this journey. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you desire to be in your life.

Whatever issue my clients bring to their first session, 95% find complete resolution within three sessions — 100% experience significant relief after just one.

Life is more like a winding labyrinth than a straight path. We hit moments of overwhelming anxiety, persistent sadness, grief, or the twists and turns of major life changes. It's during these times that a helping hand can illuminate the path ahead. Growing up, I saw how mental health and substance use challenges could weave through communities. But too often, these struggles were shrouded in silence, especially within minority communities like mine. Think about it: when a persistent backache throws your balance off, you wouldn't hesitate to seek medical help. So why should navigating mental health be any different?

I get it, sometimes life is hard! Do you often find yourself questioning your self-worth, feeling down and inadequate despite your efforts? Are you feeling overwhelmed by constant worry and unease, unsure of how to find peace amidst the chaos of daily life? Or are you a new mother/parent, who is struggling with the intense pressures of parenthood, feeling isolated and unsure of your abilities? If these questions resonate with you, know that you are not alone. Many people face these challenges, and it's important to seek support and understanding during these difficult times.

I help empower and walk alongside clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and self-esteem issues. My hope is to help clients to improve the quality of their lives, their relationships, and their sense of self. I also have a special passion for new mothers struggling with the transition into motherhood, dealing with issues including, but not limited to, the mental load, identity integration, and other mental health changes.

Does it seem like you just can’t escape overthinking, shame, guilt, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety? You’ve tried everything, but you are feeling stuck. It is important to have a therapist that is able to understand your struggles and has additional training to help you heal. You want to improve your relationship with yourself and others. I am trained in EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Biofeedback, and specialize in maternal mental health and trauma. I am passionate about working with women, people struggling with infertility, adult adoption trauma, and perinatal/ maternal health issues.

We believe in the importance of both Science and Spirituality in our work. We are advocates for both Herbal and Prescription treatment and believe in the use of both Eastern and Western medical systems to treat disease and maintain health. We practice a model of therapy, coaching, and counseling which is collaborative, open and holistic in nature. Our therapeutic relationship should feel warm, safe and be connecting. This model is different than many counseling models which have a less collaborative flavor. In these models typically the therapist is the "expert" in the room and should not be challenged.

Are you grappling with feeling lost, struggling to understand emotions, or experiencing a lack of zest and motivation in your life? Do you yearn to rediscover your sense of purpose, to understand yourself better, and to move toward your goals? If you are seeking clarity, guidance, and support to navigate this journey, I am here to help.

Now Accepting New Clients! I understand the challenges with 'juggling it all' and know the overwhelm of burnout and stress all too well. I believe that every person is capable of bouncing back and seeing life in a new energized light. I have a passion for research and advocacy of all kinds, especially in the LGBTQIA+ community. I’ve found so much light and hope working with individuals who have experienced trauma/PTSD, OCD, depression, and anxiety. My drive for advocacy work and breaking barriers along with my values of creating safe spaces and trusting relationships with clients has led me to find my calling in Social Work.

The support you'll receive is tailored to your goals, process, pace, uniqueness & desires. I focus on empowering you to rely on your own inner navigation, unique strategy & authority. Our work incorporates the application of various traditional & non-traditional wisdom techniques vetted in over 27 years of practice & experience. Together, we address the heart & root of things. You will find our work together very honest, direct, & compassionate. Our sessions will begin by meeting you where you are at, learning what you want and need in your process of healing and beginning to gently but consistently unwind problematic conditioning.
