Getting to know Maria Carusillo

I am Nelly Carusillo, a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Reiki Practitioner. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova University. My therapeutic approach emphasizes holistic empowerment. Collaboratively, we will explore your physical, mental, and emotional well-being, including past experiences with stress and trauma, to facilitate lasting positive change in all areas of your life. My approach integrates several evidence-based modalities, including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Neuropsych CBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I primarily utilize ACT, which emphasizes mindfulness, client values, and commitment to change. I believe this approach offers a transformative perspective on the human experience and provides a range of tools, techniques, and strategies that can facilitate significant therapeutic progress. I work effectively with young adults and adults navigating life transitions. My approach is particularly well-suited to individuals seeking support with career growth and development, self-esteem enhancement, habit formation, interpersonal skills development, and boundary setting. I also welcome those interested in exploring spiritual and holistic approaches. I strive to create a comfortable environment where you feel safe to be your true self. I'm here as a trusted partner you can confide in, but also as someone who will challenge you and help you grow. While there will be space to process any immediate needs, you will benefit from a road map or a plan to get you to your desired goals. With over 15 years of experience, beginning at the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, I've worked in outpatient and inpatient community mental health settings and as a clinical leader for a Fortune 500 company. My passion lies in individual work and supporting others in their growth journeys.
