Therapists in Coral Gables, FL

Empowerment is key in therapy. I have more than 25 years' experience in the field, and am ready to heal the psychological issues in your life. Call me. Let me guide you as far as you are motivated to heal. I have strategies to help you work through whatever is keeping you away from wellness and joy. My expertise is in women's issues, LGBT, trauma, substance abuse, crisis counseling, and all chronic disorders including depression, bi-polar, anxiety and addiction. Also, my mother had Alzheimer's for whom I was the caretaker. I know about the family issues which surface.

FCCM is a unique Mental Health Center that makes use of the expertise of a National Board Certified psychotherapist, Ernesto Felipe and a Life Coach, Lazara Felipe who are fluent in Spanish, Russian and English. We believe that people are not "broken", just stuck. By helping them tap into their God's given power to change, we guide them in overcoming these obstacles. While they access and embrace their innate resources they are freed to explore and confront their limitations and establish a balance between acceptance and growth. We have expertise working with individuals (children, adolescents & adults), couples, families, and groups.

I offer evening and weekend hours. I provide a non-judgmental environment for individuals who may be feeling depressed, worried, anxious, dejected, overwhelmed, angry, tired, ashamed, self-critical or defeated. We will examine what's currently bothering you, as well as events in your past that may contribute to your current struggles. I will work with you to identify thoughts, emotions, or internal dilemmas that may be keeping you "stuck" or blocked from your goals. I sometimes introduce clinical hypnosis as a component of treatment for symptom relief or self-exploration.

I have over 30 years of experience in the evaluation and treatment of adults, adolescents, and couples. I was trained in the cities of Chicago and New York, and have been in South Florida since 1992. While in private practice, I held the position of Director of Adult Outpatient Psychology Services at Jackson Memorial Hospital for 13 years, and held an Attending and Adjunct Faculty status at University of Miami School of Medicine. In addition to psychoanalytic and by virtue of my long teaching and supervisory experience and many years in private practice, I am also well versed in other theoretical approaches and treatments.

As a bilingual, Licensed School Psychologist I specialize in gifted and psycho-educational evaluations in South Florida. I also provide services including behavior modification plans, collaboration with teachers, individual counseling, and parenting classes. Ultimately, my goal is to assist families in helping their children reach their maximum potential emotionally, socially, and academically. Every child has strengths which are too often overlooked; therefore, further understanding a child can make a world of a difference in the effectiveness of their education delivery and, more importantly, in how the child feels.

Whatever you are facing, you deserve to feel better, healthier, happier and whole. I recognize making the decision to seek treatment can be difficult or scary. I provide a safe space in which you are seen and heard.

I have helped children, teens, and adults find healing and hope as they journey through mood disorders, life transitions, divorce, grief/loss, partner betrayal, abuse, trauma, and more.

Excellent psychotherapy offers a deep appreciation for an individual's thoughts, emotions and wishes. I try to establish a collaborative and interactive relationship with my clients. We work on trying to resolve areas of immediate distress as well as trying to understand how the past may be effecting your current situation. Regardless of what brings a person to therapy-a desire for deeper understanding of self, alleviation of symptoms is the main focus. I see a wide range of clients- including children and families, college students and adults. I have two broad areas of clinical practice.

I enjoy helping my clients to solve life's puzzles. I strive to partner with my clients in understanding their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors in order to help them achieve their desired life plan.

I have helped many couples to improve their level of marital satisfaction and to heal their trust issues.

I specialize working with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma and low self-esteem.

Together we'll use the creative process and discover the tools to help you listen and reconnect with yourself and your body through your healing journey. I am currently offering weekly, 50 minute, in person individual therapy sessions in the Coral Gables area.

I specialize in treating children, teenagers, and adults with OCD, anxiety, and related issues (including "Pure O" OCD,). I approach these issues using a type of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), with an emphasis on how chronic worry drives anxiety. This approach to treatment is a time-limited, systematic, yet gentler approach to exposure. I also see people with a variety of other concerns, including mood, relationships, and parenting issues. I am currently a psychologist with OCD Associates, an entirely telehealth practice. For more information please visit ocdassociates.com

Hi! I’m a licensed psychotherapist with experience in treating adolescents and adults presenting with a variety of issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, parenting challenges and relational difficulties. If you are struggling, you don’t have to face life’s challenges on your own. Therapy can be a safe space to process your troubles while also embarking on a journey of personal growth that can help you lead a more authentic life.

I am a licensed psychologist and psychoanalyst specializing in adult individual and couple psychotherapy. In therapy I focus on developing a deeper understanding of you and the role of your unconscious conflicts in the difficulties you are having. Discovering how and why you may be unconsciously contributing to your difficulties is tremendously helpful in freeing you to change. We all unintentionally and unconsciously contribute to our obstacles. Finding out exactly how, when, and why you may inadvertently undermine yourself frees you to change in deep and powerful ways. It can also help with difficult problems that nothing else has helped.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck and unable to move forward? Are you having a hard time adjusting to a significant change in your life? Psychotherapy is an opportunity to work through issues that interfere with one's ability to live a more fulfilling, meaningful, and authentic life. Whether it be past or present dilemmas, I provide a healing compassionate environment to help you work through challenges towards a place of acceptance and resolution. Using evidence based practice, I collaboratively work with you to understand your goals and meet your full potential in life.

I help neurodivergent people understand themselves so they can thrive. It is an honor to walk with young people (and their families) as they get clear on their core values and grow to spend more time on what they care about. A lot can get in the way of our goals, like enjoying time with friends/family, reaching our potential at school/work...I often slow things down at first. I've met so many people who are tired of coping skills being jammed down their throat. Before jumping into solutions-mode, I like to take time to understand my clients' challenges, define their idea of success, and collaborate on the path to get there.

I am an integrative health psychologist, guiding my clients in gaining total mind-body wellness through lifestyle changes, stress reduction, behavioral medicine interventions and nutritional psychology coaching. My sessions can be provided in person or via video-chat.

I work collaboratively with you to explore emotions, identify and process difficult experiences, improve self-esteem, and learn skills that will help you cope with life's challenges. We work together to create treatment goals and make sure to tackle them one by one. Life gets difficult; it's no secret. I want to help you maneuver through life's unexpected changes, challenges, difficulties, and confusions.

I combine my knowledge in nutritional psychology and as a health psychologist to guide my clients in gaining mind-body wellness.

If your goal is to use more than just talk therapy and want to actually heal both your mind and body through nutrition, relaxation training, guidance/support, and lifestyle changes, you’re in the right place! ​ As a licensed psychologist and a yoga instructor, I have developed a holistic approach to mental health and treatment.
