Waitlist for new clients
I first started as a psychologist in Cuba and worked specifically with children and adults predominantly family dysfunctions and behavioral problems.
I have been working in the mental health field for more than 20 years and I think there has been an awakening regarding mental health issues in the past few years. That being said, awareness is key in the process of recovery. I have seen the growth in clients when they come to therapy eager to better themselves. I make my sessions client oriented; I always tell my clients that therapy is only one part of the healing process, but essentially the effort has to come from within. As long as you recognize there is time for a change, you will be guided into recovery.

Work, school, children, parents, dating, partners, marriage ... all create joy and stress in our lives. And there's more .... friends, body image, aging, sex ... and the list goes on. How we respond to our stressors is intimately connected to who we are and what our life experiences have been. Your therapy needs to be as unique as you are and that is what I specialize in. I believe in using many modalities to help my patients create a therapeutic plan that works best for them.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Miami, FL provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Miami build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
