Welcome! Welcome! My name is Nadinna Guerrero. I am a proud mental health provider and a student intern at Beyond Counseling. I am in the process of completing my master's degree in Psychology by May 2023. I have extensive experience working with children, teens, and adults in clinical, school, and community-based settings. Over the 15 years, I have gained deep knowledge and honed my skills in counseling techniques and insight as well as life coaching. I love helping my clients overcome mental roadblocks and transform themselves into empowered humans striving for the future they deserve.

 

I am warm, compassionate, fun, and a kid at heart.  I love to connect with my clients while helping them feel comfortable and understood. Together, we build a professional relationship based on trust and connection. 

 

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, stress management, grief, social skills, and suicide prevention. As your mental health provider,  I strive to help you to rekindle your hope while facing life’s obstacles.

 

Education, Trainings, and Certifications:

 

In 2001, I was top of my class and awarded a Bachelor's in Psychology from California State Long Beach.  In May 2023, I will fulfill all requirements for my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at the University of the Cumberlands. 

 

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Play & Art therapy techniques. Also, I have acquired a certification in life coaching through Udemy Academy. The tools have helped me empower my clients with effective coaching tools to use in various aspects of their relationships, emotional growth, and behavioral changes.

 

In my previous internship at First Fort Lauderdale Behavioral Health Center, I worked with clients that were admitted for hospitalization for intensive mental health care. Furthermore, for over 10 years I worked as a life coach conducting support groups in my local church community. During this time, I  discovered my passion to help families, children, and teens strive by helping them develop skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, relationship skills, and depression. Additionally, to expand my dedication to the helping field, I mentored students struggling with their emotional and behavioral challenges in the educational settings of elementary, middle, and high schools. As a life coach, I used positive behavioral strategies to improve the academic, behavioral, and emotional needs of each student. My comprehensive experience in education, clinical, and community-based counseling services has enabled me to successfully treat a variety of mental health conditions. 

 

A little about me:  I grew up in a very diverse area in Southern California and recently moved to Florida with my family of 6 in 2021. I enjoy modeling the importance of overall well-being and balance in life. A fun fact about myself is that I am a bit obsessed with Lionel Messi and follow soccer internationally. I am also musically talented and enjoy singing, dancing, and playing piano!

 

Research indicates that the greatest factor for success in counseling is rapport and connection. In light of this, I would like to invite you to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation anytime. Also, scheduling is convenient with weekend and evening hours available for online or office counseling.
