Michelle Asencio
CEO, LMHC, CST, QS
Hi there! My name is Michelle Asencio, owner and therapist at Let's Talk About. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Sex Therapist, and Qualified Supervisor in the state of Florida. I was born in New York but raised in Puerto Rico where I primarily worked in the telecommunications field supporting sales and operations. I graduated with a Masters in Science of Counseling and Psychology from Troy University in 2009. During my first couple of years as clinician, I worked mostly with children with behavioral issues and parenting skills. Ultimately, I discovered my passion and decided to focus my career on supporting individuals thirteen and older including couples and marriages of all genders! Every situation is different, and as a result, I rely on a holistic approach which draws upon various treatment philosophies tailored to each individual’s specific situation. I strongly believe that there is not a one size fits all therapeutic solution, for that, I will develop the treatment plan that is specific to you and your needs. I am currently working on completing Affirmative Therapy Certification. I am excited to broaden my knowledge base and experience to reach an even wider clientele! It would be an honor working with you! Hablo Español!

Lillian McCord
MBA, Director of Operations
Hola! My name is Lillian McCord. I'm originally from Caguas, Puerto Rico, but I've spent a good portion of my life traveling the globe and living in different places and cultures, like Naples, Italy, Mons, Belgium, Prague, Spain, Greece, Charleston SC, Chicago to mention a few. However one day I visited Arizona, saw a sunset, and fell in love. I received my Masters of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix and worked in the telecommunications industry for several years. Following a break to actively take care of my wonderful children, I made the decision to return to the workforce, and it was one of the best decisions of my life—because I found Let's Talk About Counseling Services. I count myself very lucky to be a part of the Let's Talk About team, it's an amazing group of people who genuinely believe in, and care about what they do, and who they serve.
