About Rita DeSouza

Your well-being is more than just your mental health—it’s the whole story of who you are.

Rita is a warm, compassionate counselor who takes a holistic approach to helping clients feel more balanced, confident, and connected to themselves. A Brazilian native raised along the Gulf Coast, Rita brings a unique blend of cultural perspective, curiosity, and genuine passion for supporting others.

Rita works with children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, academic challenges, and career development. She believes that every person has unique strengths and experiences that can serve as a foundation for growth, and she strives to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Outside of work, Rita enjoys fishing, hiking, cooking, strength training, exploring the outdoors, and traveling to experience new cultures. Her personal philosophy is simple and reflects the way she approaches wellness: Health is wealth!
