Hello! I'm Dr. Bia Lima.
I am a mental health counselor and for many years I have worked specializing in individual therapy for adults, children and adolescents, and also couple and family therapy. I am passionate about helping others overcome conflicts and learn effective coping skills. Life can be hard sometimes!
I believe that everyone, including children, can learn to give a new meaning to what happens in their lives, overcoming difficulties, and growing as a person.
I like to say that being a counselor is more than a profession. To me, it is a ministry - a way of serving God and being His instrument in helping others. Being a counselor is also a great joy! I love getting to know each of my clients, help them navigate through their challenges, and witness their progress.
As a mental health therapist working with children, teenagers, individuals, and families of all different backgrounds and challenges, I have learned there is one simple wish that all clients share: that they would be happy and thrive.
I'm here to help you and your family. Contact me with any questions or to book an appointment.
