Meet Your Therapist
RHONDA LUGO
With over 10 years of experience in mental health services, I am passionate about supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges. I have worked with teens, adults, and couples across a variety of settings, including the Department of Corrections, forensic psychiatric hospitals, and community mental health programs. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face and the resilience they can cultivate. I am committed to helping clients find clarity, healing, and hope through compassionate, nonjudgmental care. I earned my Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling from Thomas University. I am a licensed mental health counselor serving individuals in the state of Florida.
About Inner Journey Tranquil Haven
SPECIALTIES AND FOCUS AREAS
At Inner Journey Tranquil Haven, I provide professional counseling services throughout Florida, bringing over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through a wide range of mental health and life challenges. I specialize in anxiety therapy, depression counseling, trauma-informed care, and relationship counseling, offering compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to each client’s unique needs, goals, and healing journey.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
I provide professional counseling services for teens and adults, offering individualized therapy for those seeking support independently, as well as therapy for couples and group counseling services. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based treatment modalities and is thoughtfully tailored to each client’s unique needs, goals, and lived experiences.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and personal growth, supporting clients as they build emotional resilience and develop effective coping strategies. I also support couples seeking to strengthen communication, repair trust, improve relationship dynamics, and deepen emotional connection. Additionally, I facilitate therapy groups focused on shared support, skill-building, and holistic healing.
My goal is to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space where clients feel supported in exploring challenges, increasing self-awareness, and experiencing meaningful, lasting change
MY APPROACH
My approach to counseling is compassionate, client-centered, and evidence-based. I understand that every individual, couple, and group brings unique experiences, challenges, and strengths to therapy, which is why I tailor each treatment plan to meet your specific needs and goals. Using research-supported therapeutic modalities, I focus on helping clients gain insight, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we work on developing practical coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening self-awareness. Whether you are navigating personal challenges, seeking individual therapy, improving connection through couples counseling, or participating in group therapy, my approach integrates clinical expertise with empathy, collaboration, and deep respect for your healing journey.
