Getting to know Dinorah Escala

Hi there, I'm Dinorah! Hello! I'm Dinorah Escala, a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I am a firm believer that positive therapeutic outcomes are the result of a solid therapist/client relationship built on a foundation of respect, trust, and acceptance. My approach Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is my preferred therapeutic approach as it is evidence-based and has been shown to provide relief for many mental health issues. However, Person-Centered and Psychoanalytic approaches are very useful in establishing a strong therapeutic bond and identifying the source of problems. Ultimately, the therapeutic approach used will depend on what is the most beneficial for the client. My focus I typically work with adults and seniors who present a variety of problems, but mostly symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic disorders, and everyday stress. I also see clients facing relationship issues, difficulty managing life transitions, and even acculturation challenges. My communication style My goal is always to provide the clients with a safe and friendly space where they can express themselves freely, and openly without the fear of judgment. Once we have discussed a basic session format, I aim for an open, friendly, and relaxed exchange of information, thoughts, and ideas. My journey to mental healthcare I was interested in human behavior and the field of mental health from an early age and went to school to study psychology. But life took me on a different path and I found myself earning an MBA and working in many different professions. When I no longer had family responsibilities, I was able to return to my original interest and earned a master's in mental health counseling. Following my internships I became a licensed therapist. My goals for you It is important to establish or define goals at an early stage so we have a good understanding of the challenges and what success looks like.
