Gloria Hanania

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and Maine with over 20 years' experience working with clients that are dealing with depression, anxiety, substance abuse addiction/recovery, and relationship issues. I provide both individual and couples counseling. Therapy can be challenging but it can also have light moments and humor as well. I enjoy helping people discover things about themselves and seeing the process of change occur in their lives. I also work with clients from different cultural backgrounds and ethnicities who have been dealing with discrimination and adapting to cultural differences.

I create a very open space for clients to share their thoughts and feelings. I believe in creating a nonjudgemental environment and work to build trust in our relationship. I like to be direct and solution focused and specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Person-Centered Therapy.

I believe in the client participating in setting their goals for treatment and pinpointing their desired outcome. This may not always be a clear picture for the person so I do help in creating goals. At times between sessions I may give homework or things for you to begin practicing in your daily life. This helps reinforce what you worked on in therapy and to also begin to make positive changes.
