Sabrina Sosa, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor/EMDR Therapist
I am a bilingual (English & Spanish) Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience that includes working in the foster care system, school setting, private practice, and treating over 1,000 individuals of all ages from different cultures and all walks of life.
No matter how many years have passed, unresolved hurts in your heart build up over time and deeply affect what you believe about yourself and others. The healing process requires examining your heart, transparency, openness, honesty, commitment, and will.
I provide the most effective evidence-based therapy treatments, using mostly EMDR to help you achieve self-care and healthy relationships through Bilateral Stimulation, which allows your brain to reprocess painful memories. Every negative thought and negative physical feeling in your body that is attached to the painful memory is desensitized. As each memory is effectively reprocessed, you experience healing for each past wound, one at a time.
I am passionate about guiding others through difficult circumstances by helping them view their painful experiences as opportunities and stepping stones for substantial personal, spiritual, and relational growth.
I was born and raised in South Florida. I was reborn and have been a follower of Christ since 2005. I obtained my Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology at Trinity International University.
Areas of Expertise
Adults
The most important aspect of life is our relationships- the people we do life with. You cannot have healthy relationships if you are not a healthy person. How do you know if you are a healthy or unhealthy person? The way you view yourself and others will determine your behavior and what kinds of relationships you have. How can you grow yourself and with others?
EMDR
Childhood wounds that were never healed deeply affect the way you see yourself and others today. Ever feel not good enough? Unimportant? Crazy? Shameful? Like a failure? Worthless? EMDR works to uproot these (of many) negative cognitions and replace them with positive. Trauma (anything that was said/done or not said/done to you that impacts you negatively today.
Christian Counseling
Have you ever been hurt by the church? Have you been spiritually abused? Do you feel burned out trying to do "good"? Are you doubting God's goodness in your life? Have you ever felt like giving up on your faith? Has your desire for God diminished? How can you build a strong and healthy relationship with Christ?

Kathy
Tallahassee, FL
"I've suffered since I was a child. I've had a hard life. I honestly wasn't sure if I could be helped. Talking to my therapist has been eye-opening. I'm learning so much. I didn't know healing could start this fast."
Julia
Orlando, FL
"My kids were always fighting. They didn't get along until they started doing family therapy and talking things out. They each learned how to talk about their feelings. They learned how to apologize and make up. Now they actually laugh and play together. I still can't believe it."
ANDREW, Tampa, FL
