About Berline Lapomarede

Welcome! My name is Berline Lapomarede and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. I graduated with my Masters of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University. Since then, I have wholeheartedly provided psychotherapy for a wide range of population including children, adolescents, adults and elderly. While providing services in residential, outpatient and detention settings, I have worked with clients with wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting, grief, communication, relationships, and so much more. It has been nothing but of great honor being able to utilize my clinical knowledge, skills, experience and passion to provide my clients the essential tools, knowledge and/or skills they need to address their presenting problems, concerns or needs. My counseling style is warm and interactive and I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. It takes great courage and initiative to seek professional care and support to promote your overall health. As a clinician, I am more than willing to provide you the support and empowerment you need.

I look forward to working with you!

“Berline has been nothing short of a blessing. In such a short time we’ve made such huge progress and I can’t wait to continue working with her because I feel like she’s legitimately on my team and wanting to make a difference in my life with her knowledge. This has been the easiest experience and I’m glad I decided to do it.”

“Amazing counselor, listens so well and is so understanding.”

“Berline has been amazing and has drastically changed my life and how I operate daily. I would recommend her to anyone and am so entirely grateful to have been paired with her. This is my first experience with therapy as an adult and I’m so grateful to have such a wonderful therapist the first time.”

“Berline is an excellent therapist and I appreciate her support and guidance.”

“Berline is great. My son booked a second appointment already, which I am very happy about!”

“Berline is receptive, knowledgable, and keeps me on point. An excellent listener with no indication of judgment. I amvery comfortable with her. Although I must suspend counseling for a short period of time due to financial concerns, I would want to work with her again!”

“Berline has been one of the best things in my life. She immediately understood me and my needs and her communication with me is wonderful. I can already feel myself changing for the better, as can my loved ones. I am truly thankful to have been paired with her.”

“I am very pleased to say that my counselor has been very helpful and understanding I enjoy speaking to her and listening to her”

“I am pleased with the guidance Berline is offering. The app had some technical issues and she took extra time to give me a full live session still so I was very pleased with that. I am hopeful that Berline’s knowledge and skills will make a positive impact on my family. We’re trying some new parenting strategies for dealing with ongoing stressors.”

“Berline has been great. She’s been very positive and given me hope. She’s worked well with my schedule and with some technical difficulties I had. She’s been very patient and listened well. She’s provided me with several helpful resources.”
