About South Florida Counseling
South Florida Counseling Agency was founded in 2006 by Karina Chernacov, who wanted to provide comprehensive, trauma-informed psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families. We support adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, parenting concerns, grief and loss, major life transitions, and stress-related conditions. Our work also includes trauma recovery, crisis intervention, and high-conflict family matters requiring coordinated care. We also offer services in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
