Beth Davalos is the founder and owner of Sunshine Senior Counseling. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor and Registered Play Therapist in the Central Florida area. Ms. Davalos has worked for over 25 years as a licensed clinician with all client ages, from children to seniors, in private practice, hospitals settings, home health care, and in the public school system.
Ms. Davalos started Sunshine Senior Counseling out of awareness for the need in her community for eldercare counseling. She learned that the Central Florida elderly population was being overlooked and many seniors were not accessing necessary mental health services. She believes that senior counseling services is a fundamental necessity so that the elderly can learn to cope with depression and anxiety related to a variety of aging concerns such as life transitions, pain management, physical impairments, early-stage Alzheimer’s and Dementia, as well as loss and bereavement.
Sunshine Senior Counseling provides in-home and telehealth counseling services for seniors and their loved ones throughout the state of Florida. Ms. Davalos and her team of 14 dedicated licensed clinicians have made it their mission to educate the community about the need for senior citizen counseling services. They provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can address issues of concern in order to achieve more fulfilling and happier lives.
Ms. Davalos has always been an advocate for the underserved population. She was a mental health expert featured on 60 MINUTES in 2010 and 2011 as well as numerous national and international news programs and documentaries. These news features and documentaries focused on raising awareness for homeless children and families. Ms. Davalos has received numerous awards for her work. Her team of experienced Licensed Clinical Social Workers also resonate a similar passion as they have spent their career as clinicians serving adults, families and seniors and disabled adults.
“Our approach is one of warmth and respect. Our goal is to work collaboratively with our clients to identify solutions, enhance existing strengths, build new skills to overcome obstacles, and resolve core conflicts that are the source of their anxiety. Together we will determine a therapeutic course that will meet you or your family's needs.”
