About Saskia
Welcome!
My name is Saskia, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional in the state of Florida.
I have over 17 years experience in the mental health field having worked in a variety of settings, to include residential, in home, addictions and outpatient programs. The journey has been both personally and professionally rewarding!
I have the most experience working with clients who are suffering from trauma, abuse, mood disorders, anxiety, adjustment, family conflicts and dynamics, which include blended families, and LGBTQI.
My approach to therapy can be described as eclectic.
I try my best to meet my clients where they are, to instill hope, and motivate them to change.
I look forward to hearing from you soon!

- “I cannot say enough wonderful things about Saskia and the impact she has had on my life. When I began working with her in January, I was in a very different place. Since then, I have grown so much, and I truly credit a lot of that growth to her guidance and support.<br /> <br /> Saskia has helped me become more confident in myself and in the decisions I make. She has given me the tools to navigate difficult situations, understand myself better, and feel comfortable standing up for what I need.<br /> <br /> What makes Saskia so special is her combination of knowledge, patience, compassion, and genuine understanding. I always feel heard and never judged, while still being challenged to grow and see things from a different perspective.<br /> <br /> I am so grateful for everything she has taught me and for the confidence I have gained through working with her. I honestly feel like a stronger, more confident version of myself because of her guidance. I could not recommend Saskia more highly!”
