THERAPIST & COUNSELOR IN TAMPA

Ha Alberti
Founder, Relationship & Trauma Specialist
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Beneath the smile you show the world, you may be carrying sadness, anxiety, frustration, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion. Perhaps you're overwhelmed, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or wondering why, despite your best efforts, nothing seems to change. You don't have to carry that burden alone.
Hello, I'm Ha. I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I'll provide a safe, compassionate space where we can explore the root causes of your struggles and create lasting change together.
My approach is collaborative, individualized, and holistic. I draw from evidence-based therapies while recognizing the powerful connection between the mind, body, and spirit. Depending on your needs, treatment may incorporate mindfulness, guided imagery, journaling, creative expression, or referrals for complementary services such as nutritional counseling when appropriate. If faith or spirituality is an important part of your life, I will respectfully integrate those values into therapy at your comfort level.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop practical tools, and help you move from simply surviving to living with greater peace, confidence, and connection.
"When we work together, you'll learn how to identify the root cause of your feelings as well as acquire skills to successfully navigate the stressors of life." -Ha

Anxiety, Trauma & PTSD Specialization
I specialize in working with a wide spectrum of anxiety and anxiety-related disorders including mild worry to Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. I am a certified trauma therapist (EMDR & Accelerated Resolution Therapy). Both are effective and powerful approaches to treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to provide you with the tools for lasting change.
Relationships Specialization
If you're feeling stuck in the same arguments, disconnected from your partner, or struggling to move past rejection, betrayal, abandonment, or painful experiences from childhood or previous relationships, you're not alone. These experiences often shape how we connect, communicate, and respond in our closest relationships.
I specialize in helping couples break free from painful relationship cycles, rebuild trust, and restore emotional connection. My approach integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method—two evidence-based models supported by decades of research. While the Gottman Method provides practical tools to improve communication and manage conflict, EFT helps heal the deeper attachment wounds and emotional patterns that keep couples feeling stuck. Together, these approaches create lasting change by addressing both the conflict you see and the unmet emotional needs beneath it.
Working from an attachment-based perspective, I help couples strengthen emotional safety, repair trust, improve communication, and create a more secure, fulfilling relationship. I have specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, one of the most extensively researched models of couples therapy, with studies showing that approximately 95% of couples experience significant improvement.
I offer both in-person and secure online couples therapy to fit your schedule.
