Therapist for Pompano Beach
Pompano Beach residents can work with a trilingual clinician without limiting the search to an office inside the city. Aurora Counseling and Wellness Center offers therapy in English, Português and Español from west Boca Raton, with secure video sessions throughout Florida. Najla Sallum, LCSW supports adults and families coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress and changes at home.
A plan for a city that stretches from the coast to the west
A Pompano Beach address does not describe one commute or one routine. Someone near the beach may already spend substantial time traveling west for work, while a household farther inland may organize the week around school pickup and caregiving. When you consider therapy, the practical question is not just where the clinician is located. It is whether you can keep appointments without repeatedly sacrificing work, rest or family responsibilities.
The Boca Raton office gives you an in-person option, and telehealth gives you another way to stay consistent. Choose the format based on privacy, the kind of therapy and the realities of your week. You do not have to commit to a travel schedule before asking about fit. A short consultation can address availability, the language you prefer and whether a video appointment is appropriate for the concern you want to work on.
Portuguese and Spanish without asking relatives to interpret
In a multilingual household, the person who handles English-language paperwork is not necessarily the person who can explain everyone else's feelings. Asking a child, partner or relative to interpret a therapy conversation can change what is said and what stays unsaid. Direct sessions in Portuguese or Spanish create room for a more private and accurate discussion. English is available too, including when a partner or older child prefers it.
Language is especially important when talking about grief, family expectations or an experience that happened before moving to Florida. A word that sounds simple in translation may carry a particular memory or obligation. Najla does not require you to reduce those meanings to a quick label. Tell her how your household communicates and which people need support. Family sessions can address differences in language alongside differences in age, expectations and power.
Anxiety, exhaustion and a life that feels difficult to manage
Adults often reach out when their usual ways of coping stop helping. You may be functioning at work but unable to sleep, snapping at people at home, or avoiding a conversation because it feels impossible. Anxiety and depression can overlap with grief, relationship strain and the pressure of caring for others. Therapy starts by understanding those patterns rather than deciding that you should simply try harder to manage them.
Individual sessions can build practical ways to respond to worry, recover routines and set boundaries. If trauma is part of the picture, work begins with stability and safety. Couples therapy can address repeated arguments, disconnection and conflicting expectations about family responsibilities. Family therapy includes the relationships around a problem, not only the person whose behavior is most visible. The right starting point depends on your goals and the people involved.
Getting to the Boca Raton office
The full address is 9825 Marina Boulevard, Suite 500, Boca Raton, FL 33428. From Pompano Beach, an inland starting point may make the State Road 7 corridor useful for a northbound trip. From an eastern starting point, I-95 can be part of the trip before heading west toward the office area. Use a current map to compare these options and confirm the final approach to Marina Boulevard. The office is in west Boca, not near the beach.
Travel conditions vary, so no fixed commute estimate is promised. Before booking regular in-person care, consider the time of day, your return trip and any school or caregiving commitments. Appointments are available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 7 PM, subject to availability. If the drive makes consistent attendance difficult, ask about Florida telehealth. Video sessions require a private space and your physical presence in Florida, not merely a Florida mailing address.
Children, testing questions and choosing a first step
When a child is struggling, parents may wonder whether the concern is emotional, developmental, related to school or a combination. Play-based therapy gives younger children a way to express feelings while parents receive guidance. ADHD and autism assessment coordination answer different questions. Formal testing is carried out by licensed psychologist partners, with Najla's clinical interview and family history work integrated as appropriate. She is an LCSW, not a psychologist.
The first consultation is free and can focus on these choices rather than requiring a detailed history. Najla's Florida license is SW19846, and she has 14+ years of clinical practice. Sessions are private pay. Superbills may support out-of-network reimbursement if your plan allows it, but coverage is not guaranteed. Call, text, use WhatsApp or request a consultation to discuss next steps. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. For a mental-health crisis, call or text 988.
