Adlerian Therapists in Homestead, FL

One afternoon I told my wife that after another tour, I would be leaving the U.S. Coast Guard for a very different career. Serving my country and the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard is one of the greatest honors and privileges of my life. After serving for nine years I knew that directly assisting and serving people is the life-giving work of my heart. I became a Social Worker and therapist because it is my greatest joy and pleasure to support you as you unify all your strengths and gifts to release your Faith, Hope, and Love into society.

Our clinical areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, martial issues, codependency, self-esteem, women’s issues, substance abuse, harm reduction, grief, and transitional concerns. Through evidenced based approaches, we aim to tailor our treatment approach specific to the needs of each individual. We believe in helping individuals build on their strengths, gain insight, and develop effective coping skills.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and overly emotional? Trying to "fix" things on your own without success? Untreated, these feelings often lead to anxiety, depression, family conflict and increase stress; this prevents you from living your life to the fullest. Coping during stressful times requires talking to a compassionate professional who will treat you with dignity and respect. The goal of therapy is for each person to reach their highest potential in all areas of their lives. I treat children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing various emotional and psychological symptoms.

My name is Sabrina Brijbassi, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in the state of Florida working with clients via telehealth. I work primarily with adults and late teens from a variety of backgrounds and identities. I aim to provide supportive care and specialize in anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, and disordered eating. My approach to therapy is a good fit for late teens into late adulthood.

Regardless of our age, life can be incredibly overwhelming at times. Whether you're 2 or 92, there are going to be times that feel especially overwhelming. I have helped many clients of all ages work through a variety of challenges. Whether it be life changes, anxiety, depression, grief, stress management, addiction recovery or any number of other situations, I am there to help you through.

My primary work is with children, adolescents, and their families, but I also work with adults individually. Primary areas of specialty include social skills training (I develop curriculum for social groups), and mood regulation within the youth population. I am a staunch advocate of focusing on communication; both verbal and nonverbal, as I help my clients improve their “emotional vocabulary”. My ideal client is someone is ready to make a positive change in his or her life, working through self-improvement. These clients wish to develop skills they are having difficulty with and/or are not able to develop on their own.

Do you feel exhausted by daily efforts? Do you feel stuck in your anxious thoughts, unsure of how to cope? Are you experiencing relationship issues? Tired power struggles with your teenager/child? At times life can feel frustrating and heavy, and depression sets in trigging our low self-esteem. Therapy can seem like a challenging step to take, and yes it takes courage to start this process. Please feel free to reach out to me for a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. I am passionate about working with women as they transition through their life stages, from adolescence, early adulthood, career, motherhood, and beyond.

I am a bilingual therapist (Spanish/English). (Hablo Español!). I enjoy helping individuals of all ages, especially kids and teens, understand their emoitons and learn how to express them. I also work with adults helping them manage and cope with their moods (anger, depression, anxiety, etc.). I also enjoy helping individuals work or heal, from life changes, grief and even trauma. I am trained in EMDR to help individuals overcome their trauma. Looking forward to helping you heal.

I have experience working with ages 3 to 85 and a range of disorders such as Anger Management, Anxiety, Depression, Coping Skills, Trauma, and PTSD. I use a broad range of modalities: Adlerian, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical (DBT), and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. I firmly believe that you are the expert yourself, and I am here to empower you, not fix you so that you have the confidence to cope with whatever struggles life brings.

I provide counseling services to children, adolescents, and young adults. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and adjustment difficulties. I also have experience working with clients with learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder(ASD), developmental disorders, and social-emotional and behavioral difficulties. As a counselor, I believe in looking at the client as a whole and meeting where they are in their treatment process.

It is my goal to provide a safe and collaborative space where you can fully express your thoughts, feelings, doubts, and desires. I deeply respect all people and their unique identities and experiences. I listen carefully to make sure I fully understand and then work in partnership and support to develop goals and plans. It is my hope that everyone I meet with feels accepted and comfortable throughout our journey together.

Do you feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Maybe you've weathered the storm of past abuse, the sting of strained relationships, or the pressure of constant transitions. I see you. I'm a trauma-focused therapist, and in my safe haven, your diversity is embraced. I will help you learn skills necessary to flourish in every aspect of your life. We will work together to transform your weaknesses into strengths, so you can finally live the life you desire. Starting counseling with me does not mean something is wrong with you, it means you are finally ready to heal and be the master of your own life.

Many people experience feelings of inadequacy, depression, anxiety, or just feeling "stuck". Life is, in many ways, a puzzle we must solve; at any point, frustration, sadness or anger may be part of it. Some people turn to substances when they are uncertain of the resources available. I am proud to have been that resource for so many already, and I look forward to helping others as we share our journeys together.
