Are you struggling with Mental Health issues and looking for a bit more than only counseling? Do you want to explore the self-regulation capabilities of our brain? You are with the right professional. You should know that our brain has the extraordinary capability of self-regulating through learning conditioning. A visual and sound signal can make our brain correct wrong electrical patterns of functioning, helping not only to better functioning in terms of brain waves but improving mental health symptoms. The changes you need to make in your behavioral life, mood and emotions will be enhanced using Neurofeedback.
This weekly group is specifically geared toward teaching new anger management techniques and strategies that have been proven to be effective. The group is both psycho-educational and psychotherapeutic (all group members have the opportunity to discuss their own real-life situations while gaining valuable insight into the role that they play). Much of the group's focus is on improving relationships with friends, family members, romantic partners, and co-workers, and also reducing feelings of anger toward oneself and toward others while driving, in crowds, etc. Commit to your well being and call me 786-856-6156.

I am highly experienced in Exposure Response Prevention, the gold standard of OCD treatment, and use CBT, DBT and ACT to address general anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
I specialize in diagnosing and treating OCD and anxiety disorders. OCD can present in many different ways, often causing confusion, fear, shame, and a sense that one is "stuck" and all alone with distressing thoughts and compulsions. Yet, OCD is highly treatable, and I have helped thousands of persons regain a satisfying and joyful life where they - not their OCD - are in charge. I use specific, evidence-based techniques to help clients reach their treatment goals, leading them to develop the skills and confidence to overcome the obstacles to their peace of mind and joyful living.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Support Groups
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
