I'm Sharon Glekel, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate their unique challenges and strengthen their relationships. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I understand that relationships form the foundation of our lives. Whether you're experiencing conflicts in your marriage, facing communication issues within your family, or struggling with personal challenges that impact your relationships, I am here to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore, heal, and grow.

I have experience treating a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, dating and relationship concerns, family issues, stress management, grief and loss, identity and LGBTQ+ issues, and life transitions. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families, and I work completely remotely through a telehealth platform with Florida state residents. Additionally, I am a board-approved qualified supervisor for registered clinical social work interns in the state of Florida.

My name is Laurah Pastel Shames and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Miami, Florida. My private practice specializes in the treatment of anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder(OCD), and other related disorders including but not limited to phobias, panic disorder, social anxiety, and hoarding. I am passionate about providing people with the skills they need to make positive changes in their lives. My therapeutic approach incorporates the use of evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the use of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I work with those seeking support and compassion, while navigating difficult emotions, experiences, and the residual impact on the mind and body. I believe that acknowledgement of our humanity allows us the freedom to be who we are and who we want to be. Everyone holds the power to create their own reality. This reality is created by the barriers we choose to acquire and those we choose to repel, as the blossom of the lotus flower repels the muddy waters. My priorities as a therapist are to offer a safe space, help you reach your goals/ desires, and offer guidance to become unstuck when it feels nearly impossible.

Everyone has the ability to heal from the deepest of wounds and the most challenging of circumstances. There's a saying, "Healing is the application of love to the places inside that hurt." I'm here to fully support you in tending to those places. Together we will journey into understanding the major themes and patterns in your life and what they are trying to teach you. This increased level of awareness can help you access your strength and intuition, eliminate negative self talk and choose a more fulfilling relationship with yourself, others and life. I offer a 15 minute meet and greet to ensure we are a good fit.
