You do not have to have everything figured out before you reach out. You just have to take one

step. I am Sharon, a licensed therapist (LICSW) in Massachusetts specializing in trauma, grief,

and the weight of experiences that do not just go away on their own. I bring a collaborative,

trauma-informed approach built on one core belief: healing happens inside a relationship where

you feel genuinely heard, understood, and safe to go at your own pace. Much of my career has

been spent supporting Veterans and others navigating life's hardest terrain, and I would be

honored to walk alongside you on yours.

My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I believe that healing occurs within a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I work with each person to identify their strengths, build resilience, and develop practical strategies to achieve their goals.

I welcome adults from diverse backgrounds and life experiences and strive to provide an inclusive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their concerns and move toward greater well-being.

Whether you are seeking support for past trauma, coping with grief, managing stress, or navigating a difficult life transition, I would be honored to work alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.

You don't have to have it all figured out to start. There is no right or wrong place to begin.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I'm also a Certified School Counselor — which means I've spent decades not just in therapy offices, but inside schools, alongside kids and families navigating the real, daily pressures of growing up, parenting, and finding your way.

That breadth of experience shapes everything about how I work. I understand what it looks like when anxiety shows up in a classroom, when ADHD affects a family's daily life, or when an eating disorder hides behind achievement. And I know how to create a space where children, teens, and adults alike feel safe enough to actually open up.

Ramon Recio

Ramon Recio

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn about my practice. I am Ramon Recio, a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than thirty years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s most difficult chapters. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and completed doctoral coursework in Counselor Education and Supervision. My career has spanned community mental health centers, hospital systems, and private practice in both New York City and the greater Tampa Bay area, including my current work as a Behavioral Health Psychotherapist at BayCare Behavioral Health, St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Over the years I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients: adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions; couples and families seeking to repair and strengthen their relationships; individuals in recovery from substance use; veterans; and people from culturally diverse backgrounds, including children with developmental challenges and their families. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and I welcome clients who prefer to be served in either language.

Outside of credentials and titles, what I most want you to know is this: I am warm, energetic, and genuinely curious about the people I work with. I believe each person carries strengths that are often hidden beneath what they came to therapy to address, and a meaningful part of our work together will be uncovering and using those strengths. I also recognize that for many clients, spirituality, faith, or a personal sense of meaning is an important part of their lives. I am respectful of every client’s belief system and integrate that dimension only when, and how, you want it included.

Hello There!

My name is Magdala ( Maggie), and as a licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in supporting children, adolescent, and young adults. I focus on emotional regulation, anxiety, stress management, depression, self-esteem, social skills, and disruptive behavior disorders.

I support client's individual needs by providing a safe, compassionate, judgement free space where you can feel acknowledged, listened to with attention, empathy, and respect.

I have experience working with a diverse range of clients, including their families in various settings.

On a personal note, I believe that self-care is essential for enjoying a comfortable, stress-free life. For me, that includes listening to music, spending time with family and friends, enjoying my favorite movies or tv shows, nature walks and traveling.

My goal is to help you achieve long-term well-being so that life can be more enjoyable.
