About Alda
Clinical experience shaped by culture, education, and human connection.
Alda Sousa is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor who provides individual and family psychotherapy in Portuguese and English for patients ages 13 and older. Her clinical experience includes supporting patients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, autism-related needs, adjustment difficulties, behavioral concerns, and acculturation stress.
Her work with immigrant youth and families has given her a meaningful understanding of the emotional complexities that can accompany relocation, cultural transition, family separation, and forming a new identity while staying connected to one’s roots.
Before and alongside her clinical career, Alda built extensive experience in education, mentoring, public speaking, and multicultural environments. Today, that background helps her communicate with warmth and clarity while creating a therapeutic relationship in which patients can feel respected and genuinely understood.
