Hi, I'm Ilona Korsunsky, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in the State of Florida. My journey in this field began with a Bachelor's Degree in Criminology and Sociology from Rutgers University of New Jersey. I worked for several years in Child Welfare and Protection, supporting vulnerable children and families in South Florida who have faced traumatic events that reinforced generational trauma. I am extensively trained in the Trauma-Informed approach, which has allowed me to compassionately work with families to promote empowerment, resilience, and break the cycle of generational trauma.

To further impact the lives of those I serve, I pursued a Master's Degree in Social Work from Florida International University. My passion to help others and my knowledge of trauma have enabled me to work in various settings with diverse populations. I initially focused on working with children and families, providing clinical assessment and therapeutic services during investigations and removals, trauma-focused interventions, and supporting parents during transitions.

Later, I expanded my clinical work to include LGBTQ youth, adult clients with chronic and persistent mental illness, and veterans experiencing psychosocial stressors. I take a non-judgmental, open-minded, empathetic stance with all my clients, building trust and alliances through cultural competence, self-awareness, and patience.
