Grief counselors and therapists in Cape Coral, FL

My passion is helping individuals move from a place of distress to one of hope and connection. I have extensive experience working with clients to address trauma, anxiety, substance abuse, and the unique challenges faced by women.

My name is Simone Sertorio; LMHC. My growth as a learner is demonstrated through independent coursework,

certification programs, and applied training experiences. My growth as a collaborator, is reflected in my initiative to become a certified yoga teacher and intentionally integrate wellness-based strategies into clinical practice. My approach is warm, ad tailored to each clients unique experience as I create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions safely.

To get to know a little bit about me from outside of the office: I am originally from Brazil and I speak Portuguese; I enjoy wellness practice of yoga for 20 years, and being outside in the nature.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and retired nurse with more than 25 years of experience in healthcare, social work, and behavioral health. Born in Texas and raised in Brazil and Chile, I’ve spent much of my life moving between cultures. I provide therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and bring that multicultural perspective into my work.

I work with adults navigating anxiety and overthinking, depression, relationship difficulties, narcissism, grief and loss, caregiver stress, aging, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I also provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and help who want to create a meaningful life on their own terms and figure out what you want the next chapter of their life to look like.

I have a particular interest in helping people who have spent years being the dependable one—the partner, parent, caregiver, professional, or person everyone else turns to—and are beginning to ask, “What about me?”
