Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Crestview, FL

Therapy should not feel like you are sitting in a isolated room while the person is observing and providing minimal feedback. You need a therapist who is interested in your progress and willing to be completely honest with you. I'm Marcello Mora and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I am certified in Modular Approach in Therapy with Children experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Conduct (MATCH-ADTC) behaviors. I have a Bachelors of Social Work and a Masters of Social Work from the University of Central Florida. I specialize working with children, adolescence, and young to middle age adults that experience depression, anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and dissociation/inattention. My goal is to meet you where you are at and work together in navigating in any obstacles to achieve your aspirations.

I earned my degree in psychology, and a gap year with Jesuit Volunteer Corps in a social justice setting led me to social work. I use a systems approach, meaning I look at the personal, family, and life factors affecting your well-being. My background in foster care, crisis work, community-based care, and therapy gives me a collaborative, well-rounded perspective.

My specialty & love are helping individuals at transition points of their lives, with a focus from Adolescence to Mid-life and beyond. These are times of dealing with many changes in one's life. These changes may include family, friends, and your role in community. This is also a time when we are surrounded with "Transition Myths" i.e.; How we should be feeling, acting and thinking. Some of these are Memory Loss, Depression, Physical Fitness, Sexuality. My goals are to educate and separate myth from fact while helping YOU ease life's transitions so YOU can continue YOUR life with new hopes, dreams, respect and dignity.

As a therapist, I am dedicated to providing exceptional service with a strong work ethic, specializing in therapy for anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I have extensive experience working with diverse clients and populations and am certified in trauma-focused therapy. I am committed to achieving the best outcomes for my clients and am always available to address any questions or concerns.

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience, I work with children, teens, adults, and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, stress, and life transitions. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and understood. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change so you can live a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Hi, I'm Desiree. I'm bilingual and speak both English and Spanish. As an LMHC, I especially enjoy working with people who may feel apprehensive about starting counseling, as well as those navigating substance use, addiction, depression, family issues, and trauma who are motivated to make changes in their lives and become the best version of themselves. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. I was born and raised in New Jersey, and I love working with a diverse population.
