Psychotherapist
260 Lookout Pl, Ste 202, Maitland, FL
Somer Leigh Banjanin is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in Florida who has been practicing since 2018. She graduated from Liberty University with her Master’s in Professional Counseling and is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Community Care and Counseling – Traumatology from Liberty University. Her dissertation focuses on human trafficking. Somer (that’s “Somer” like the season) understands the pain of trauma. Years on the couch helped her grasp the impact trauma has on feelings and emotions, relationships, and everyday functioning. Sometimes it is hard to get out of bed, much less have the energy to brush your teeth. Thoughts race, often back to the traumatic event. Everywhere feels like a threat; you don’t know who or what to trust. Relationships with friends and family seem to fall apart. Jobs and careers feel impossible to maintain. Your mood ebbs and flows like the ocean tides. Sometimes, personality disorders evolve from years of untreated trauma, making it even more difficult to function and maintain healthy relationships. Substance abuse is often used as a way of coping. Living with trauma and/or personality disorders is hard, and the work to overcome them seems harder—but it is worth it! Imagine a life not haunted by reminders of your trauma, where the difficulties of relating to others due to a personality disorder are managed. Learning to accept the trauma or personality disorder as growth and finding appreciation for the underlying blessings they bring. Accepting trauma as part of your history, not your present or an indicator of your future. Learning the difference between actual and perceived threats. Building healthy relationships with safe people. Living a life that is full, happy, and emotionally safe. Somer has a heart for teens transitioning into adulthood. This can be a difficult and confusing time for anyone, especially those just entering the adult world.
