Trina Popa, LCSW
Welcome to Luminescence Counseling, where I transformed a dream into a reality. As the founder, my journey began while working with various mental health agencies, leading me to establish Luminescence with a profound desire to revolutionize the mental health industry in the treasure coast area . Recognizing my passion for helping others, I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, receiving my master’s degree in social work from Barry University.
My focus is to treat children, teens, couples, and families using an array of interactive and evidence-based techniques. From Art Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy to the Gottman Method for couples, my modalities are diverse. Specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, ADD/ADHD, and family issues, I bring a holistic perspective to each session. I have specialized training in adoption competency for children in post-adoptive homes as well as extensive experience working with children in foster care. My goal in sessions is to help my clients understand the root cause of their maladaptive behaviors by exploring childhood experiences and past traumas, and embark on a journey of deep healing.
Beyond the counseling room, I find solace in nature and amongst animals. As a Palm City resident and devoted mother of two, my passion lies in contributing to the well-being and satisfaction of the community I hold dear. Join me in exploring your path to fulfillment and satisfaction at Luminescence Counseling.
Elysha Walker, LMHC
Step into a safe space with me, Elysha. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to your well-being. I obtained my master’s degree in psychology from Antioch University in Los Angeles, and my commitment to fostering mental health led me to complete the Mental Health Counseling Program at Nova Southeastern University.
In our sessions, I bring a collaborative, depth-oriented, and integrative approach to counseling. My therapeutic techniques for adults, couples, and families are tailored to each person’s unique needs. Specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, self-esteem, OCD, and related disorders, I integrate evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT-Informed Therapy, and Schema Therapy to align with your unique goals.
Within our non-judgmental therapeutic space, my focus is on empowering you to unlock your full potential. Together, we navigate the complexities of your life by exploring the influence of family-of-origin, unraveling self-defeating patterns, and addressing core unmet needs. Lifelong coping styles, emotional themes, and the concepts of shame, attachment, and abandonment are explored to facilitate growth and positive change.
My mission is to equip you with the skills and strategies needed to manage emotions, break destructive cycles, enhance communication, and resolve conflicts in relationships. Join me on this transformative journey at Luminescence Counseling, where we work towards fostering greater self-awareness and resilience.
