About me

Thanks for clicking on my page! It is my honor and privilege to work with my clients on issues they are ready to process and tackle. I want to thank you for getting up the courage to seek some help and relief at this time. My name is Susana Cetta, but I go by Susi. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been licensed in the state of FL since 1999. I attended Rollins College for my undergraduate degree in psychology, and my graduate work was completed at Florida International University (FIU) in the area of mental health counseling. I spent the first seventeen years of my career working with children, adolescents, young adults, biological and foster parents, and grandparents who were active in the child welfare system. In the second phase of my career, I have worked with middle and high school students and their families.

I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral therapeutic approach and integrate mindfulness meditation (MBSR) as a strategy to helping to mitigate the negative symptoms you may be experiencing. I also incorporate baseline assessment inventories and positive psychology strategies to help you learn to build happiness and life satisfaction levels.
I am a warm, authentic, optimistic, friendly, and nonjudgemental professional who will meet you where you are, build a therapeutic relationship and work together on a treatment plan with agreed-upon goals that you are ready to tackle. I believe in the resiliency of the human spirit and will work with you to find that internal locus of control to help push your motivation forward. I will help you believe in yourself, help to clarify your goals, and facilitate a path to aligning your goals with your real life. It would be my pleasure to work with you and help you along this journey of self-discovery.

I love working with teenagers and appreciate their melancholy and joie de vivre and will work together to help you build your self-esteem and motivation to chase after the life you deserve. I understand the pressures that middle and high school students are currently facing with college preparation, grades etc. I look forward to working with you to help build a balanced, less stressed daily life. Thanks for your kind attention.
