About Navoy
My name is Navoy, and I was born in Virginia, and raised in Florida since 1996. My dad proudly served in the Airforce for 25 years, and I’m honored to call myself a military brat! I’m no stranger to hard work and discipline and believe that most things in life are possible with the right mindset and perspective. I have a passion for football, anime, philosophy, and my family.
Why I became a Counselor
Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always had a passion to help people. I grew up in a middle-class household, but never truly understood how fortunate I was, until I experienced my own personal hardships as a young man. If not for my family and friends, I would not be where I am today, in a position to give back to the community through mental health counseling. As a young black man, I aspire to help anyone who feels marginalized, vulnerable, or has been a victim of life circumstance.
Education, Experience, and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work in 2014, and my Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2016, both from the University of South Florida. In the 6 years I’ve been in the field of social work, my experiences focus on treating children, adolescents, and adults who may be currently experiencing, or at risk of developing criminal thinking patterns, behavioral/mental health instability, interpersonal-related struggles, co-occurring mental health disorders, and compulsive drug-seeking behaviors (addiction). I’m currently one of the lead adolescent outpatient counselors at Cove Behavioral Health, and my duties range from individual counseling, facilitating group psychoeducation, and providing comprehensive assessments/level of care recommendations for patient’s experiencing substance abuse, mental health, and/or various legal concerns. I utilize a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Insight-Oriented Psychodynamic Therapy, Play Therapy, REBT (Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy), Motivational Interviewing, and CYT (Cannabis Youth-Treatment).
