As a child therapist, I specialize in play therapy for kids, as well as parenting support for the adults in their lives.
Hi, I’m Courtnie, and I’m a child therapist here in Miami, with a special talent in speaking the language of children. You can think of me as your very own child translator, a neutral third party that can explain your child’s behavior and help you understand their emotional needs. I want to truly get to know your child, and I’ll make sure that they feel safe and comfortable throughout the process. For both children and families, my therapy sessions are relaxed, collaborative, and effective.

I also work with individuals who are experiencing issues with: depression; panic/anxiety; post traumatic stress; parenting; anger management; stress; loss/bereavement/grief; gay/lesbian life style; etc.
Is your relationship in trouble? Where did your romance go? Is it possible to rekindle the flame? How do you find the partner you deserve? How can you create a lasting love? As a Certified Imago Relationship Therapy (RIT) I specialize in saving, repairing, enhancing and deepening committed relationships and helping singles to prepare themselves to find their "relationship of a lifetime." I am passionate about this work because my husband and I were once in trouble ourselves, until we attended an IRT Couples Workshop. There, we came to understand the higher purpose of long-term, committed relationships.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
