Humanistic Therapists in South Miami, FL
Although I have extensive training and education in Humanistic Psychology and Cognitive-Behavioral approaches to mental health treatment, another important approach to therapy comes from a wellness-based model of health.
Clients seeking treatment typically find that their coping skills which had previously worked, are no longer working. I help individuals and couples regain resilience and strength, which may have been lost during challenging and trying times as well as during major life transitions. My strengths lie in providing pre-surgical evaluations as well as counseling for individuals undergoing Bariatric Surgery for weight loss. As a service to my clients, my office will handle insurance billing for you. Privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance. Therapy takes place in a quiet, safe, and peaceful environment.

Recognizing that you need help is a courageous first step toward healing. Life is filled with twists and turns. Sometimes we run into a turn that is too sharp, and we hit a wall.

Together we will work toward uncovering that strength and empowering you to lead an authentic life, filled with self-compassion and enhanced by healthy coping skills and improved relationships. I compassionately work with teens, adults, and couples undergoing life transitions, and suffering from anxiety, depression and grief.

I support adolescents and young adults navigating neurodivergence, coping with mental illness, developing deeper self-awareness and building healthier relationships. Many of my clients seek LGBTQ-affirming care and desire to explore how they express themselves. Some people find it challenging to initially engage with traditional talk therapy, but many young people find the expressive arts to be an access point through which to grow, find healing, and meet their psychosocial needs.

I am a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist specializing in talk therapy. My clients often come to me feeling angry, depressed and disappointed with their relationships, careers and their lives and are at a loss as to how to live a fulfilling life. Working together with clients within a supportive relationship, I help them articulate their feelings more authentically and uncover unconscious conflicts that get in the way of living life with vitality. I have found that when people truly engage in the process of therapy, they can experience healing, acceptance of themselves, stress reduction, personal growth, and increased fulfillment.

Taking the first step to seek therapy can be challenging, but it is also an act of bravery. You have been struggling for a while attempting to overcome these struggles on your own, but the truth is you don’t have to do it alone. As one of my favorite quotes says, “we don’t have to do all of it alone, we were never meant to” (Brene Brown). Throughout our therapy experience, we will work collaboratively to identify values and goals that are meaningful to you, potential self-doubting thoughts, or past circumstances hindering you from reaching those goals. But most importantly, I will listen to you.

Humanistic Therapists
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
