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 am an LGBT identifying therapist. I have been working in the mental health field for over two years in residential and community mental health settings. Which has provided me with the experience of working with a wide variety of clients.

I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual orientation and gender identity concerns.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 15 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence based therapy. As a Cuban immigrant, I understand the unique challenges faced by ethnically and racially diverse clients. I offer therapy in English and Spanish for individuals, couples, and families across Florida via telehealth, helping you navigate eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction, or a major life change - you deserve support without judgment. My practice is a safe, compassionate space where you can finally say the things you've never said out loud. I've spent 20+ years walking alongside adults through their hardest seasons. As your sole therapist, I'll know your story deeply and show up consistently - with warmth, honesty, and genuine care.

Bienvenido/Greetings, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (SW26009) in the state of Florida. I have worked in a variety of settings, including: psychiatric hospitals/centers, schools, crisis response services, and community-based agencies. My clients represent a wide range of ages, genders, sexual orientations, faiths, education levels, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds. In my practice, I focus on supporting individuals through life transitions, processing past trauma, and building awareness of their current strengths and resilience.

If you are caring for someone with a serious illness, raising a child with complex needs, or running on empty after years of putting everyone else first — this is the right place.

You already know how to show up for the people you love. What's harder is asking for something for yourself. Many of my clients waited longer than they should have before reaching out, because they felt guilty, or because they convinced themselves they could handle it alone. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know: getting support isn't a sign that you're struggling. It's a sign that you're paying attention.

I am a Doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life's most demanding chapters — serious illness, end-of-life care, caregiving, grief, and the particular kind of burnout that comes from loving someone with complex needs. My hospice and palliative care background has shaped the way I work: with deep respect for what people are carrying, and a focus on dignity, whole-person care, and what actually helps in real life.

I am also a parent of a child with Down syndrome. I know what it means to receive a diagnosis that reshapes your family's future. I've navigated IEP meetings, medical appointments, the emotional complexity of caregiving, and the way people who love you still don't quite understand. That lived experience is not separate from my clinical work — it's at the center of it. When you sit across from me, you won't have to explain yourself from the beginning. www.anchorfamilybh.com
