Thank you for taking this brave step forward. Asking for help can be difficult. We may feel scared or think we don't have the right words to say, in addition to other complex emotions and thoughts. I am here to walk through that discomfort and uncertainty with you, your child, or you and your partner to get to the other side. It is tough to have hope when you feel stuck. I am passionate about helping people find their way back when they feel lost and disconnected. I am skilled at connecting with others by helping them to feel heard and validated, while learning healthy ways to cope with life's challenges.

Leticia Linden works mostly with entrepreneurs, executives, and high achievers. People we would assume do not need coaching, because they are highly successful. Yet, they are facing the dark sites of success, especially in the integration of professional and personal lived experiences in relationships. Working on breaking limiting beliefs, unhelpful behavioral patterns, and a lack of emotional and energetic wellness management helps Leticia´s clients heal unresolved trauma and transform negative experiences into a sense of powerful self-leadership.

You are the most important part of your treatment, and it begins with a foundation of trust. Depression, anxiety, relationship stress, challenges with academic or professional growth... there are endless reasons to seek therapy. In sessions, I prioritize the development of a connection that feels comfortable and safe for you. Each person is unique, together we will find a way to customize the various evidence-based treatment tools so that they work in a way that affirms who you are.

Therapy is a powerful tool for change and we all have the ability to reinvent ourselves. The limits we set on ourselves sometimes work as barriers toward our happiness. Therapy can help by strengthening one's focus, visualizing and recreating the life one wants to live, through effective goal-setting and self-management. I work with individuals, couples, and families in assisting with establishing goals, improving communication, decision-making, and maintaining an overall balance in life.

One of my favorite quotes to live by, is "Sometimes we are tested not to show our weaknesses, but to discover our strengths." Seeking therapy should NEVER be viewed as a weakness, but rather an opportunity to develop new strengths. My belief is that the therapeutic experience should be authentic, warm, and supportive. I encourage my clients to see the benefit of developing inner strength when seeking to develop new and positive change. I specialize in children, adolescents and adults, as well as families experiencing various life difficulties that may be preventing them from realizing the best version of themselves.

Dr. Walsh has been caring for infants, children, adolescents, young adults, and families for more than a decade. Creating nurturing environments for kids to thrive involves both science and art and is increasingly difficult in today's evolving landscape of academic, social, and technological pressures experienced by both kids and caregivers alike. I aim to provide state-of-the-science psychological evaluation and deliver individualized treatment to promote psychosocial, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral well-being. Please note: Contacting Dr. Walsh does not establish a therapist-patient relationship. If this is an emergency, call 911 or go to the emergency room.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and lost? Have you been struggling to find comfort and meaning in your life? When you’re navigating career decisions, health and lifestyle changes, relationships, or parenthood, you may feel stressed out and unsure as you attempt to define who you are and what you want out of life. At times, you’re confident about your decisions and proud of yourself for taking action. At other times, your self-esteem feels fragile, and you’re certain you’re making all the wrong decisions. You may be so anxious that you have trouble sleeping or experience muscular tension and discomfort.

Counseling is a journey of self-discovery. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to process your thoughts. The goal is to help you find the peace of mind you deserve. I specialize in working with first responders of all ages in trauma recovery, PTSD, anxiety, and self-esteem. As a Certified First Responder Counselor, I understand that confidentiality is the priority when working with those in public safety. Being a law enforcement wife for over 25 years has led me to build a practice with a focus on this culture.

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.

My therapeutic setting aims to notice and analyze patterns that can help you gain a new perspective. I offer counseling services to individuals, couples, and families looking to improve their relationships, adapt to life’s changing circumstances, or alter undesired behavioral patterns.

As a young adult you have a lot of worries: sorting out career, relationships, setting up your future. All of that alone can be stress enough, but add depression, anxiety, and the psychological struggles that come with that stress it gets even worse. While your struggles are very real, it can be difficult to get anyone to take them seriously. People your age don't have any more insight than you do about it, and older adults don't remember how frightening these struggles can be. They don't remember feeling like you're behind on the imaginary timeline, or feeling less accomplished than you should be. You aren't alone.

Taking this initial step to find a therapist that you feel will be a good match for you can sometimes feel a bit scary and overwhelming.
