Therapists in Miami, FL

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist focused on providing individual, family and couples counseling. Specialized in the treatment of trauma as well as depression, anxiety, stress management, and working with the LGBTQ+ community (adolescents, adults and couples). The ideal client is motivated in accomplishing their treatment plan goals and is always willing to learn new things to benefit their personal growth. It has been rewarding in working with survivors of sexual trauma because they are strong willed in overcoming their issues related to their trauma in order to heal themselves mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

When a person wants to change, they already reached the first step. If you are here, welcome. Now, you want to know how to do it, and finally, you want to see you see yourself capable of making those changes. What do I want? How do I do it? Am I able to do it? We deserve peace.

Welcome. Are you ready for the work necessary to make real, enduring change? Do you have a troubling personal issue or suffer from general dissatisfaction? My orientation is to focus on the unconscious, the elusive essence of the problem. A powerful process unfolds when change occurs at this level of the mind. This opens the space for authentic personal transformation.

Life is sometimes difficult and it is hard to gain perspective. Also, family and interpersonal relationships can be so complex and challenging. Are you or your child/family struggling? Would you benefit from compassionate professional support? What would it feel like for you to live the life you've dreamed of, to have the relationships you've hoped for and to feel loved and supported each day? Are you ready for this life-changing journey? Let me help you unpack your concerns, repair your relationship with yourself and others, remind you that you are enough and that you can be happy and whole.

Coming to therapy can feel vulnerable and scary, but it is a brave step towards the life you want and deserve. I am guided by evidence based techniques, educated insight, and genuine curiosity. I work to nurture my clients’ sensitivities, strengths, hopes, and desires for a meaningful and fulfilling existence. I help individuals tap into their inner strength and thrive, to connect to their passions, couples seeking effective communication techniques and highly sensitive people understand their trait and harness their superpower! I support individuals from diverse backgrounds and sexual orientations, navigate cultural challenges

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of emotional and behavioral issues as well as histories of trauma and personality disorders. I have a nurturing yet directive style that helps individuals to feel at ease as they embark on their journey of exploring and understanding their unique experiences. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their goals to aid them in building a life worth living. I believe that therapy can enrich people's lives and relationships. I have seen clients overcome challenges and dramatically improve their lives.

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read through my profile. My practice is called My School Psychologist, Inc. and it is a company founded with the premise that our society has a profound impact on our youth's intellectual, behavioral, emotional, and psychologi​cal development. This practice was conceived in hopes of fostering the inspiration and motivation back into the community and youth through affordable and thorough psychological services.

I take a modern approach to therapy, As an LMFT and LCPC I see individuals of all ages and life stages : individuals, children, and families. As you search for a therapist you want someone who is empathic, but also experienced and competent. You need to be able to trust that your therapist has a plan for cure! if this is your first attempt in therapy or you have had therapy but need something more than you got, come and talk with me.

I work to facilitate healing with emotional, behavioral, and psychological concerns with children, adolescents and adults in our offices in Pembroke Pines & South Miami, FL. I treat a variety of difficulties including behavioral problems, social skills deficits, anxiety disorders, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, family conflict, school-related concerns, motivational issues and issues related to childhood sexual abuse and trauma with a client-centered & collaborative solution oriented approach. Whether you are looking for healing or guidance, together we will work towards your preferred future!

I believe that one of the bravest and scariest things to do is reach out for help. Many people see therapy as a stigmatize thing for only those that are in desperate cry for help and have no other choice. I can promise you that this is far from what therapy really is. Therapy is about having a safe place to open up and not be judged. It is a place to feel like FINALLY someone understands you and relates to your problems. I want to help you achieve whatever life changes you are looking for while in turn providing the most real and authentic experience.

Vulnerability and connection are at the foundation of my therapeutic approach. Whether you are struggling with academic and/or social pressures or a parent wanting to learn how to support and reconnect with your teen, we all crave connection and safety. I have worked in several medical facilities, hospitals, and university counseling centers, specializing in the treatment of adolescents/young adults with eating disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders. I also have extensive experience working with college aged clients and children diagnosed with learning and behavioral disorders.

The work I do and journey I assist my clients on takes a holistic approach to tailor specific needs by combining different modalities to manage symptoms and promote healing. I work with all ages. I've gained significant experience in family/child welfare and foster care; abuse; domestic violence; neglect; PTSD; developmental disabilities; ASD; ADHD; parent training; systemic family therapy; substance abuse; depression; anxiety; bipolar; co-morbidity; and narcissistic personality disorder. I also examined the benefits of using mindfulness techniques during sport performances in order to achieve one's optimal potential.

Do you feel overwhelmed by events or emotions? Do you feel unhappy and anxious about your future? Do you compare yourself to others while thinking everyone has it together but you? Or, perhaps it's become hard to tackle the day-to-day and you're longing to reconnect with the person you used to be. You have probably tried to identify the source of your stress, anxiety, sadness, or lack of confidence, but feel lost. Or maybe you do know where your feelings are coming from but thought this was a phase. Having overcome self esteem and emotional challenges, I know exactly how you feel and I know what it takes to get to the other side.

Have you thought about visiting a psychologist, but you are afraid of what other people might think of you? Do you have a personal or relationship problem that you don’t feel comfortable sharing with your loved ones? Have you looked for advice for you or your children and have gotten no more than good intentions? If you answer yes to any of these questions, psychotherapy can help. So whether you have time to sit and process or you are working on a busy schedule, come on in and let me help you.

My ideal client would be someone who is willing to work on themselves and take measures to overcome their obstacles to improve their lives.
