I specialize in Rumination-Focused ERP for OCD. This approach to ERP focuses on treating compulsive rumination, and provides a highly systematic yet gentler approach to exposure therapy. RF-ERP can be helpful to patients who have not made significant progress in other types of treatment, including individuals with Pure O or Sensorimotor OCD.

Do you wake up in the morning feeling empty, tired, and unmotivated? Are you struggling with issues related to your past, uncontrollable thoughts, anger, grief, communication, anxiety, or major life changes? Are you seeking a more loving, meaningful, and harmonious relationship with your partner and your loved ones but don't know how or what to do to improve it? There comes a time when help is needed from a licensed professional. As Maya Angelou wrote, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you".

I am Sonya Belletti, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Coach who specializes in and is passionate about all things family. I take a client-centered and humanistic approach to working with my clients. My goal is to have clients leave each session with value added to their lives, so they are able to build fulfilling relationships. I work with clients who find themselves at an impasse and struggling to get out of a rut in their personal lives, career, or relationship. I also support families who are entering parenthood for the first time as well as established families who are struggling to feel connected within their household.

I do really well-reaching clients who have anxiety and depression. I also do well with college-aged clients and young mothers, 20/30-year-old women, and I can empathize with mothers/parents very well, as I am married with a 3-year-old son. My ideal client is motivated to participate in the therapeutic process and has some insight into their problem & what they feel they need to do to solve it. They don't expect me to have all the answers and understand that we will partner together to achieve their goals- but that they are the ones who have to be motivated to create change.

I have had experience in the private and the public sector, counseling and developing individuals to meet their highest potential. Currently licensed as an LMHC in the State of Florida, I have had much experience in providing therapy for individuals that have a history of abuse or neglect. I am very familiar with working with troubled families, and couples with relationship issues.

Do you struggle with stress, anxiety or self care? We don’t always know when we will be faced with life’s challenges, but one thing is for sure challenges will come and although can be difficult to contend with, they are manageable. I utilize a holistic approach to treatment that considers the whole person including spiritual needs, rather than just your mental health. Spiritual focus may be meaning of life and forgiveness. Self-care can look different for everyone, but it should promote health and happiness.

Life is full of messy bits, sometimes these are unforeseen issues that pop up out of our control and sometimes they are a product of our own design. Regardless, in a culture where we must present as put together, in control, etc., it gets a little hard to trudge the water. If we aren’t careful this can lead to emotional, behavioral, interpersonal, and self dysregulation. At Just Keep Swimming Counseling, LLC, and my group practice Keep Evolving Beyond Therapy, I strive to create a healthy, safe space in order to set goals for growth, face challenges, and gain introspection to be a fuller, healthier you.
