Introduction

I'm Elise Milagros Fernandez, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Connecticut, North Carolina, and South Carolina. As founder of Authority 2 Heal Counseling, I've dedicated my career to helping young adults and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My bilingual, bicultural, and faith-based approach draws on years of clinical experience—from crisis intervention to outpatient counseling—working with people facing complex mental health needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, behavioral therapy, and person-centered techniques to help you build inner strength and develop positive mindsets that create real, lasting change. Whether you're working through past trauma, relationship difficulties, or women's issues, I'm here to support your journey toward healing and a more meaningful life. I offer telehealth sessions and accept most major insurance plans. I'm currently accepting new clients and would be honored to work with you.
