Stephanie Pineiro

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to providing a culturally sensitive and supportive space for individuals navigating life’s transitions. I hold a dual Master’s degree and Education Specialist in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Florida, with a clinical background focused on supporting diverse populations. I specialize in working with immigrants and those navigating the complexities of assimilation, cultural adjustment, and identity development. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR therapy and utilize an integrative approach to help clients process trauma and achieve their personal goals.

My approach is integrative, culturally responsive, and collaborative, ensuring therapy is tailored to your unique personal and cultural context. I utilize a trauma-informed lens, including EMDR therapy, to help you process distressing experiences and alleviate physiological symptoms. By blending behavioral insights with self-discovery techniques, I provide practical tools that foster lasting self-awareness and personal growth. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you feel empowered to explore your identity and navigate life’s challenges.

In our first session, my primary goal is to ensure you feel heard, validated, and comfortable sharing your story. We will review your history and the specific concerns that brought you to therapy to ensure we are aligned on your needs. Together, we will begin to outline a roadmap for our work, focusing on your goals for both immediate relief and long-term development. You can expect a session that is structured yet flexible, allowing you to share at your own pace.
