Nelsy Villalobos LCSW

My name is Nelsy Villalobos. I am a licensed clinical social worker based out of Jacksonville, Florida with over 12 years of clinical work experience. I have worked with individuals and their families for over two decades providing a combination of clinical services, school health services, community support services, and case management services to assist my clients with stress and anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, the processing of abuse and coping with grief and loss with the goal of increasing their motivation, self esteem, and self confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

I check messages Monday - Friday, a few times a day and respond within a 24 hour period. I do appreciate your patience on occasions when it takes a little longer to tend to professional / personal responsibilities. I understand that taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process! I am looking forward to working with you.

Laura Fernandez Psy.D.

Welcome to our site! My name is Laura and I am the founder and owner of Mindful Freedom Psychological Services Corp. I am a licensed clinical psychologist, License # PY9982. I completed my doctoral studies at Carlos Albizu University, in Miami; with a concentration in Neuropsychology. As such I am able to conduct psychological and cognitive testing for diverse purposes as well as conduct therapy.

My passion and main focus of treatment is on helping victims of abuse, particularly narcissistic abuse free themselves from the psychological barriers learned through abuse and become the person they were always meant to be! I am also very passionate about helping those suffering from PTSD or CPTSD work through the trauma and improve symptoms.

My specialties include: Narcissistic abuse, PTSD/CPTSD, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, self esteem/boundary setting work. I enjoy working with populations such as LGBTQ, military members and veterans, and minorities.

In order to best serve my clients I complete periodic continuing education courses and trainings in order to provide the latest and most effective evidence- based treatments. Currently, I am trained in EMDR and DBT as well as CBT and Person Centered therapy.

A little more on a personal note, I am a wife, mother, older sister of a few little kiddos and dog lover! I am Hispanic, from the Caribbean and fluent in Spanish. I can therefore conduct assessment and therapy in English and Spanish.
