About Dr.
Welcome! My name is Maricarmen (Maria) Clapp. I am glad to see that you decided to take time for yourself and look into what is bothering you right now. We all need some support, guidance, and an honest ear from time to time to get us back on track. I am here to help you do that. I am a licensed mental health counselor, certified addictions counselor, and certified school counselor (K-12) in Florida, USA. I also hold an equivalent to a license in Spain "Colegiada " in Psychology. I have over 25 years of experience assisting youth and families, adults, and older adults in dealing with negative emotions and behaviors that lead to not feeling good about oneself, misusing medication, or abuse alcohol and other drugs. My primary focus is connecting with you and establish a trusting and honest relationship, not so much on the specific labels or diagnoses. I practice a holistic approach, looking at several aspects of your life that may be misaligned, and thus may be causing you stress. I follow a solution-focused approach, based on cognitive-behavioral strategies, and supported by a client-centered framework. I work with youth (13 and up) as well as adults (18 and up), and older adults (70 and up). I have experience assessing and providing psychoeducational programs in parenting and anger management, as well as counseling to individuals dealing with legal issues including domestic violence, anger management, DUI, or other misdemeanor charges that have been court-ordered to complete mental health services. I also have experience assisting youth in the spectrum who have social difficulties at school and with peers. I hold a bachelor's in Psychology, a master's in Mental Health Counseling, and a doctorate in Organizational Leadership. I believe that all of us are leaders in some capacity in our lives. Feeling empowered and in charge of your life often leads to a more positive and productive life for yourself and for others around you. Let’s connect soon! Read more Show less
