I have a BS degree in Health Science from San Jose State University and an MSW degree from the University of Southern California. Yes, I’m originally from California. I’m a licensed clinical social worker in both California and Florida. I was first licensed in 2003. For the first ten years of my practice, I worked with children, adolescents, and families.

I have over eight years of experience supporting individuals whose mental health is affected by health and medical issues. Finally, I’m trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

One of the most empowering factors in my life has been spending 32 years as an Air Force Military Spouse. This empowered me to grow and learn through lived experiences in diverse groups. I’ve been a clinical social worker and prior substance abuse counselor for 30+ years working in a public agency, private practice, and with the US Army at Fort Carson, Colorado and at SHAPE, Belgium. I work across all ages to include both adults and children. In addition to my MSW in clinical social worker, I have an advanced graduate degree in Infant and Early Childhood Special Education Leadership and a doctorate degree in Curriculum and Diversity Studies.

Fabiana Robles Fontan

Fabiana Robles Fontan

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I’m Fabiana Robles Fontan, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients throughout Florida. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, Spanish is my first language, and I am fluent in both Spanish and English. I understand that culture, family, identity, language, and life experiences can influence how we understand ourselves and our mental health.

As a therapist, I strive to be warm, approachable, supportive, and genuinely nonjudgmental. I want therapy to feel like a safe place where you can show up exactly as you are; you don’t have to have everything figured out before you start your journey. I value creating real professional connections with my clients while providing encouragement, motivation, support, and compassion throughout the therapeutic process.

If you’re reading this because you’re considering therapy, you’ve already taken an important step. Reaching out for support can feel uncomfortable or overwhelming, especially if therapy is new to you. My goal is to make the process feel less intimidating, more comfortable, and, most importantly, human.
