With more than fifteen years of experience in behavioral health, my work is shaped by a deep commitment to helping individuals feel understood, supported, and empowered. My education and early training focused on counseling, addiction treatment, and behavioral health assessment, and I spent many years providing individual, group, and family therapy across detox, residential, and outpatient settings. I’ve worked closely with adults navigating substance use, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger or impulse concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and relationship or family challenges. I’ve also supported LGBTQ+ clients, justice‐involved individuals, and those managing chronic mental illness or complex psychosocial stressors.

In addition to my clinical work, I’ve spent more than a decade in behavioral health utilization management, leading teams that ensure clients receive appropriate, timely, and effective care. This blend of direct therapeutic experience and system‐level leadership gives me a unique perspective: I understand both the personal and structural challenges people face when seeking help. Clients can expect a grounded, compassionate, and collaborative approach—one that honors their story, builds on their strengths, and supports meaningful, sustainable growth.

Dr. Strom was born and raised outside of Seattle, WA before she completed her Bachelors degrees in Psychology, Mathematics, and Philosophy at Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY. She first came to Florida for her graduate training at Florida Institute of Technology (FIT), where she earned her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Integrated Behavioral Healthcare. She has been a part of the Gulfshore Behavioral Health team since January 2023.

Outside of her professional work, Dr. Strom enjoys cooking, baking, sewing and other crafts, exploring new restaurants and local activities, practicing yoga, traveling when possible, and spending time with her dog and partner.

If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone.

’m a bilingual (Spanish-English) therapist with over 20 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, emotional challenges, and relationship stress. I also work with teens and children facing behavioral, academic, and emotional concerns.

I hold Master’s degrees in Social Work from NYU and in Clinical Psychology from the Psychiatric Hospital of Caracas. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical—helping you gain clarity, build self-worth, and create healthier, more secure connections.

I believe meaningful change begins with connection. Let’s start there.

I have been serving Orlando and surrounding areas in private practice for over 5 years after first gaining experience in residential crisis and substance abuse. I received my BS in psychology from UCF and my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Stetson University in Deland!

As Clinical Director and Qualified Supervisor at Behavioral Turning Point, my professional trajectory demonstrates a steadfast dedication to resolving intricate mental health and co-occurring substance use disorders. With dual licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and certification as a Certified Addiction Professional (CAP), I have cultivated multifaceted expertise in clinical leadership and cross-disciplinary coordination. This foundation enables me to spearhead holistic, evidence-based treatment models that integrate behavioral health interventions with systemic support frameworks.

Additionally, I bring specialized proficiency in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) intervention, having served as Lead Behavioral Analyst guiding therapeutic programs for children. In this capacity, I designed and implemented individualized behavior modification plans rooted in applied behavioral principles, prioritizing measurable outcomes and skill development tailored to each client’s unique needs. My approach consistently aligns clinical rigor with compassionate, person-centered care to optimize long-term recovery and functional progress.

I have experience working with a variety of concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma/PTSD, racial and sexual identity, career concerns, OCD, and relationship conflicts.

I am excited about the opportunity to help you achieve your goals and improve your mental wellness. I am a kink-allied, sex-positive, and gender-affirming therapist.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, eating concerns, or substance use challenges that affect your relationships, self-esteem, daily life, or ability to feel like yourself? Do you feel exhausted by simply trying to get through the day, manage overwhelming thoughts, or meet expectations that feel impossible? Do you wonder if life could feel more manageable, peaceful, and fulfilling?

I believe healing is possible, and you do not have to navigate these struggles alone. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted as you are.

Together, we will work to better understand the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck. I will help you build practical tools for coping, strengthen self-compassion, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Helping women heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves is my passion. I would be honored to support you as you take the next step toward feeling more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.

I firmly believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, even when they feel stuck. I've always been drawn to understanding what makes people tick and what gets in the way of them living their best lives. I'm passionate about helping others improve their quality of life by providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, identify their strengths, and develop practical strategies for creating positive change. I see my role as a facilitator, guiding individuals on their own unique path to greater well-being and a sense of liberation from what holds them back.
