Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Maitland, FL

With over forty-five years of experience, I have worked with a wide range of people, from young adults navigating early adulthood to older individuals managing major transitions. I support clients with relationship issues, affective disorders, addiction, work-life balance, vocational challenges, and complex problems that come with being human. My continuing education across these areas gives me knowledge, while my outgoing, active, and engaging style brings enthusiasm to every session. I show up fully, and I expect us to do real work together.

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 support adults facing relationship pain, life transitions, anxiety, and identity shifts. Having lived through betrayal and rebuilt my own life, I understand these experiences from the inside out. I believe the most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself. Together, we focus on finding the answers so the next step feels possible.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that hope and healing are possible for everyone. My counseling approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change can occur when individuals, couples, and families partner with a compassionate, skilled therapist who provides effective support and practical mental health resources. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can gain insight, build resilience, and work toward their goals. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and work with you.

You deserve a space where you can say the hard thing out loud and not be judged for it. Whether you're a man who was never taught how to talk about any of this, someone rebuilding after alcohol or substance use, carrying grief you haven't had room to feel, or living with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, or stress that never fully switches off, you can bring it here and we'll work with it.

Outside of work I'm watching sports and playing basketball. I also appreciate time at the beach.
