Because I approach the work of psychotherapy from a systemic perspective, I am fortunate to work with children and teens in tandem with parent support work.
I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with relationship concerns. As a trained therapist in Europe, South America and the United states I am comfortable working with individuals in both Spanish and English. My approach is informed by my eclectic experiences. Specifically, I see treatment as a co-created process, drawing from state of the art interventions and individual needs. Within the therapeutic relationship, I empower clients to gain insight and make lasting change.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Miami, FL provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Miami build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
