Does your child frequently seek reassurance that everything is going to be fine? Do they fear public speaking or meeting new people? Do they have difficulty getting going, completing school work, seeing friends? Is your child bothered by unwanted thoughts that make him/her fearful, anxious, ashamed, or guilty? Do these thoughts make them wash their hands excessively, check, confess, or doubt? Is your child or toddler having excessive and unmanageable tantrums? Do they frequently break rules or defy you? Is it feeling hard to manage their behavior at home or elsewhere?

I'm Dr. Jamie Sherman, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Boca Raton, Florida. I specialize in anxiety, OCD, depression, habit and tic disorders, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), disruptive behavior problems, and co-morbid ASD and ADHD. I work directly with children, adolescents, families, and adults to help them learn strategies to handle strong emotions. For toddlers and preschoolers with disruptive behavior disorders, selective mutism, or other forms of anxiety, I typically work directly with caregivers to teach and/or coach them in helpful parenting strategies to manage their child's emotional or behavioral concerns.

Have you felt disconnected from yourself lately? Investing more energy worrying about the future or rehashing the past than being fully present? Maybe you find yourself repeating old patterns in hopes that things will turn out differently. Or, you’re unhappy with the hand of cards you’ve been dealt and find it difficult to cope no matter what you try. I believe that accessing a rich and meaningful life is possible no matter your circumstances, and I want to help you discover how.

You may be here because you’re feeling down, stuck, or lost. Maybe you're trapped in a web of worry, struggling with irritability or anger, or feeling depressed or numb. Whether you’ve faced a life-changing event or you're struggling with daily stresses that pile up, I want you to know that you’re not alone. You’re in the right place, and therapy can help. I welcome adults, teens, children, and families for therapy in my office in South Miami. For adults, I also offer online therapy (you may have heard the term "teletherapy") using video conference, so if you live elsewhere in Florida or have a busy schedule, help is still in reach.

For over 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate some of life’s most challenging transitions, whether it's the quiet weight of depression, the urgency of anxiety, the pain of infertility or divorce, or the disorientation that comes with grief or career loss. I offer a therapeutic space that is nonjudgmental, and deeply respectful of each person’s unique story. I believe that meaningful change happens when we feel safe enough to explore our internal world with honesty and curiosity. Therapy is not just about managing symptoms, it’s about reconnecting with your sense of purpose and possibilities.

Hey, I’m Josh. I’m a relational trauma and relationship therapist. I help people and their partners who are struggling with disconnection, shame, perfectionism, and self-criticism, especially when it impacts their relationships. On the outside, you may have it together, but inside relationships can feel confusing, overwhelming, or unfulfilling. You may repeat patterns, struggle to open up, or feel “too much” or not enough. In therapy, I help you understand and shift these patterns so you can build more clarity, confidence, and authenticity in yourself and your relationships.
