About
Meet Mona Nasser
Welcome to Restoring Hope of the Palm Beaches! Thank you for considering me on your journey toward hope, healing, and living your best life. It is my goal to meet you where you're at, and to co-create and collaborate toward your goals, vision, and dreams.
I am a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience in restoring and reconciling relationships, as well as successfully treating anxiety and depression.
I treat victims of trauma using Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). These methods are proven to work in recovery from PTSD and other anxiety related conditions such as generalized anxiety, panic, obsessions and compulsions, and agoraphobia.
For those looking to improve their relationship, I enjoy helping couples reconnect and rekindle their love to one of fulfillment and intimacy. With tools for speaking and listening, as well as resolving conflict, the couple learns to overcome roadblocks and barriers to the flow of communication and love. Using the evidence-based Gottman Method and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), you will receive the support, guidance, and skills to create an amazing relationship.
Meet April
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and Michigan and have offered a wide range of counseling and psychological services since entering the counseling field in 2003. My passion is helping achievement-driven women and healers in Florida. You may appear driven and put together on the outside, but you're struggling on the inside. This may look like overachieving, perfectionism, and feeling afraid of failing.
You're a woman who's known for getting things done. You're balancing your career, marriage, and your family. Lately, you notice the stress of juggling all these areas of life taking a toll on yourself. You feel stressed, filled with worry and are self-critical where you once felt confident. It's time to do something about it.
My warmth and compassion will provide you a safe place to explore...the hurt, anxiety, and pain you have experienced. You are ready for change and willing to invest in yourself and begin the deep work in therapy. Our work together will take you to a deeper understanding of connecting the present-day symptoms to the experiences and memories where they started.
My approach is holistic, meaning we connect the mind, body and spirit in the healing journey. I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. EMDR is a therapeutic approach that may help you to reprocess earlier life experiences that have contributed to your present-day symptoms. EMDR therapy can help you to become unstuck and works to help you shift from negative self-beliefs to positive self-beliefs. I care deeply about my clients. I would love to join you, right where you are. I believe that change is possible.
Before my work as a therapist, I worked in the corporate world for 20+ years. At some point, I realized I was looking for more meaning and purpose for my life. It became clear that people are what matter most. Our families, friends and neighbors. So, the journey of completing my education began. I am passionate about the work I do. It is my calling.
If you're looking for help with anxiety relief or healing from trauma (or painful experiences) call today (561) 818-6964 or learn more about me at www.aprilforella.com. I look forward to connecting with you. With care, April
Meet Terry
I practice Emotion Focus Couples Therapy (EFT). It is an Evidence Based Practice therapy with a 76% success rate with couples who complete their treatment plan. I collaborate with distressed couples and (individuals) whose relationships are "stuck" or are affected by the echoes of trauma. EFT focuses on how, couples experience their relationship and how they link together their emotional experience and express those emotions together as a couple. Emotions are the experience-the dance between adult lovers.
EFT is systemic because it looks at the whole relationship and the patterns the relationship present, and how couples get "stuck" in a cycle of negative emotion. The EFT therapist can help partners shift and change the music of the dance, which creates a more positive bonding pattern. I also treat Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and Personality Disorders (PD)
Equally, I counsel individuals in relationships with SUD's and PD's and the anxiety and depression created because them. I also treat individuals suffering with grief, loss, and those on their personal adventure after experiencing a death, divorce, job loss or the harm from losing an intimate relationship.
