Our Story

The Mission

Social Catharsis is a faith-rooted wellness and reflection platform created to support emotional growth, personal healing, and life transformation. Through written reflection, testimony, and creative expression, the platform provides space for individuals to process life experiences, strengthen their relationship with God, and grow through intentional self-reflection. All content shared is for educational and inspirational purposes only and is not a substitute for therapy or clinical treatment.

Meet the Founder

Lourdes Dorvilus, LMHC is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the founder of Social Catharsis Counseling. With a background spanning education, school-based mental health, and leadership, Lourdes brings a unique blend of clinical skill, structure, compassion, and faith-informed support to her work.

She specializes in helping individuals navigate stress, trauma, anxiety, grief, burnout, and major life transitions using evidence-based therapeutic approaches within a warm, emotionally safe environment. Lourdes believes that healing is not only clinical; it is emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal.

In addition to clinical counseling, Lourdes created the How I Grew Today platform as a separate reflective space for intentional personal growth, testimony, and life insight. These reflections are not therapy and are offered as inspirational and educational content only.

Lourdes currently serves clients across Florida via secure telehealth and is passionate about helping individuals feel supported, empowered, and grounded in every season of life.
