Aetna Therapists in Miami, FL

Hi! Jose here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and deeply passionate about the work I do. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Florida International University in 2019 and became licensed in 2022. I have several years of experience in a community mental health agency, working with children, adolescents, and families, as well as providing crisis intervention for clients at high risk of psychiatric hospitalization. I also support adults navigating work-related stress, financial difficulties, PTSD, and trauma connected to their careers. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to heal, grow, and achieve lasting positive change.

Hi, I’m Karly Sandoval, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes that healing begins when we feel truly seen, supported, and understood. I became a counselor because, when I was younger, I needed someone to help me navigate my own challenges — and now I strive to be that person for others. I take an eclectic and creative approach to counseling, meaning I draw from different therapeutic methods to meet your unique needs. I enjoy helping people from all walks of life discover their inner strength and work toward meaningful growth. Whether you’re facing anxiety, family stress, or life transitions, my goal is to help you reconnect with your values, find clarity, and move forward with confidence. I hope we can grow together and create a space that feels both supportive and empowering.

Hello there, I’m Yalice. I am a fully bilingual (English/Spanish) mental health counselor licensed in the state of Florida with over 20 years of clinical experience. Clinically, I have counseled and provided recommended services within various levels of care to children, adolescents, families, adults, and the geriatric population, including residential treatment, community outpatient care, home-based therapy, school-based therapy, as well as inpatient treatment in a forensic setting, and via telehealth platforms. Furthermore, I have extensive experience facilitating therapeutic groups as well as psychoeducational forums with different age populations. Throughout the years I have treated clients presenting with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, disruptive behaviors, family conflicts, self-harming behaviors, grief/loss, addictions, as well as disorders of childhood and adolescence. Hola, soy Yalice. Soy una consejera de salud mental completamente bilingüe (inglés/español) licenciada en el estado de Florida con más de 20 años de experiencia clínica. Clínicamente, he asesorado y brindado los servicios recomendados dentro de varios niveles de atención a niños, adolescentes, familias, adultos y población geriátrica, incluido el tratamiento residencial, la atención ambulatoria comunitaria, la terapia en el hogar, la terapia en la escuela y el tratamiento para pacientes hospitalizados, así como en un entorno forense y a través de plataformas de telesalud. Además, tengo una amplia experiencia facilitando grupos terapéuticos y foros psicoeducativos con poblaciones de diferentes edades. A lo largo de los años he tratado a clientes que presentaban trastornos del estado de ánimo, trastornos de ansiedad, trastornos psicóticos, conductas disruptivas, conflictos familiares, conductas autolesivas, duelo/pérdida, adicciones, así como trastornos de la niñez y la adolescencia.

Since becoming a counselor, I have worked in a variety of community counseling settings. I have worked with clients from ages 3 through 80 and with individuals, couples, and families. With that breadth of experience, very little shocks or surprises me and I have gotten a pretty good sense of where the types of counseling that play to my strengths as a counselor overlap with the types of counseling that are helpful for my clients. This sense (along with learning about lots and lots of research into what helps people find and maintain mental health) has led to the following guiding principles that shape all the counseling I do: 1) The client is always in charge. I know a lot of things but you will always be the one who decides what you want to get out of counseling, how we work towards that goal, whether or not what we’re doing seems to be working, and when we’re done. 2) Change and health happen through relationships. No matter what you come in for, there are always relational implications of change and relational factors that contribute to whatever it is that you came to counseling to change. 3) Counseling should be efficient. Counseling has significant costs in time and money. I think the benefits far outweigh the costs but if I can give you the benefits while helping you save on the costs then I want to do that.

Thank you for doing the brave thing seeking therapy. I look forward to helping you grow!

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe in the power of emotional support to build resilience and personal strength during challenging times. It's not always easy to admit we may need help, but doing so is a kind of empowerment all its own. I have 23 years' experience in education (10 as a school counselor) and 4 in clinical practice. My main focus is working with individuals struggling with anxiety and depression, and those who have experienced trauma.

Do you often second-guess yourself? Do you have a hard time remembering some things? Do you often wonder why you do and say the things that you do and say? Do you feel anxious about… everything? Our lives are like puzzles. Some scenes and pictures are more complicated than others and require assistance being put together. The pieces often get mixed up, flipped over, and sometimes put in the wrong box. I'm here to help you flip those pieces over and arrange them in their appropriate spots to help you gain perspective, increase your self-awareness, and develop healthy coping mechanisms in a safe, relaxing, validating, and judgment free environment. I empower individuals in overcoming anxiety, setting boundaries, and identifying and processing traumatic or life altering events that may have been overlooked. Together we take a holistic approach, addressing your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual self, as well as the different roles you play in your daily life.

I successfully utilize creativity while working with children/teens, adults, and families with an array of mental health concerns and needs.

Welcome! I am Sarah and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified School Counselor in Florida. My 20 years of clinical experience have given me opportunity to work with a diverse population and in various therapeutic settings from Residential treatment, outpatient, to in-home therapy. These experiences have shaped me both personally and professionally. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Although I have had opportunities to help clients work through different needs, I have a wealth of experience particularly working with clients who have experienced trauma, those experiencing anxiety and depression, difficulty with relationships and communication, difficulty managing stress or stressful events, families who are currently going through the adoption process, and helping parents to build healthy, secure attachments to their children. I believe therapists best serve their clients by walking beside them with a strength -based and client- centered approach. Through a strong therapeutic relationship, clients are able to change the way they see themselves, heal from previous or current hurts, and change the way they interact with others. My goal is to partner and collaborate with my clients to identify what goals the client wishes to work on, identify coping strategies that work most effectively for them, and help the client better understand what has caused the current distress they are experiencing. My intention behind this approach is to support and empower clients to continuing to grow far past their final therapy session.
