Hello! My name is Sara and I am a registered mental health counselor intern with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville University and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from the University of Central Florida. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, or other challenges. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood while working together to develop meaningful goals, build coping skills, and create positive changes in their lives.

My approach to therapy is person-centered, strength-based, and collaborative. I incorporate CBT, DBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Gestalt techniques to help clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I support clients in building self-awareness, developing coping skills, and recognizing their strengths.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if mental health was rarely discussed in your family or community. You do not have to navigate everything on your own. I hope to provide a space where you feel safe and understood. I am here to meet you with compassion and without judgment. When you feel ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

Hi, I'm Fabiola Metezier, a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern with a Masters of Science in Counseling Psychology. I love all things therapy, and simply put, meeting people where they are for forward progression.
