Cardelia Dischert, LMHC

Cardelia Dischert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 18 years of experience supporting adults, couples, and caregivers through life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma recovery. Grounded in a culturally responsive, trauma-informed approach, Cardelia creates a safe, affirming space for healing across identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences.  Her work spans a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, racial trauma, and perinatal/postpartum mental health. She also has specialized experience working with veterans, first responders, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, and individuals navigating complex family or caregiving roles. Cardelia integrates evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and narrative therapy, alongside couples-focused methods like the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).  As a seasoned clinician, Cardelia is excited to bring ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) into her work with clients who feel stuck in traditional talk therapy. She views KAP as a transformative opportunity to process unresolved trauma, build emotional clarity, and reconnect with hope—especially for those living with complex PTSD, burnout, or grief.  Cardelia provides virtual therapy to clients across Florida and brings a grounded, collaborative style to her work. Whether supporting individuals through inner healing or helping couples rebuild connection, she’s committed to walking alongside her clients with both clinical expertise and deep compassion.
