Iara Bonatto, LMHC

I am currently enrolled in National Louis University in Tampa, Fl in the Counseling Education and Supervision Doctoral Program.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and I am specialized in depression, anxiety and trauma attending to individuals and group therapy. I am a trilingual counselor and I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish fluently. I have approximately twelve years of full-time clinical experience helping teenagers and adults. I am always attending trainings to better myself as a professional and to be able to apply efficient techniques to help my clients thrive in life as they deserve to. I work with a very diverse population and I am applying for scholarships which will give me the opportunity to exercise my leadership and professional skills, and to successfully complete my program of studies. My plans are to teach and to promote awareness in order to erase the gap of social injustice and inequality against gender, skin color, disability, ethnicity, origin, race religion, or sexual orientation. And to advocate for a population who unfortunately don’t have a voice yet.
