Restoring Inner Peace
Free Mentally supports women overcoming intimate partner violence, perinatal distress, and complex life transitions. We deliver structured EMDR therapy and comprehensive evaluations for individuals pursuing legal relief through asylum or victim visas. Individuals partner with our practice to experience practical healing strategies, process painful experiences without re-traumatization, and gain a clear path forward through professional, culturally sensitive psychological support tailored to their circumstances.
Certified Clinical Leadership
Our founder holds full EMDRIA certification, a master’s degree from Florida State University, and a LCSW qualified supervisor credential. Beyond private clinical practice, we conduct specialized community education and partner directly with legal counsel on critical immigration cases. Our distinct clinical advantage lies in bridging rigorous academic research, forensic evaluation training, and compassionate direct care, ensuring every client receives top-tier psychological advocacy.
