Fort Lauderdale, FL - Accepting clients in FL
If you're a millennial or Gen-Z navigating the rollercoaster of life, you're in the right place. Let's be real, this stage of life can feel overwhelming, especially with all the intense emotions, life transitions, and relationship complexities we face. I get it – I've been there too. That's why I've created a space where you can feel safe, understood, and empowered to build the life you truly want.
As a relational therapist, I believe that healing happens best when we feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we will build a safe and comfortable space where you can be yourself, without judgement. We'll dig into what's happened in the past and what's going on now - not just in your head, but also how it shows up in your body and your relationships.
We'll explore those intense emotions, family dynamics, and complex feelings that you're struggling to understand and communicate. Processing in therapy isn't only verbal, so I enjoy using activities you're interested in to help you feel grounded. What's important to me is helping you find your way back to yourself and the connections that matter most - with quality time and good company.
When I'm not in session, I enjoy working on home projects, staying active, planning for self care and cooking/baking for friends and family. As someone who thrives on quality time, I enjoy hosting dinner parties, curating the perfect menu and music playlist for my guests.
I bring that passion for connection, creativity and experience into our sessions to inspire and highlight your strengths.

Davie, FL - Accepting clients in FL
My journey towards becoming a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist began in 2004 when I received my B.A. in Theater from Southern Connecticut State University. Knowing it was my passion to creatively help others, I began teaching children in diverse settings including preschools, elementary schools, community centers, homes, and camps. I was introduced to Drama Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapy as an Early Childhood Educator and never looked back! As I continued working with children, families, and parents of all backgrounds over the years, I found myself becoming more intrigued with their social/emotional dynamics as opposed to the academics of the profession. My realization led me to The Chicago School of Professional Psychology where I pursued my M.A. in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Marital and Family Therapy. Since then, I’ve had many incredible opportunities to gain experience through the roles of a School Counselor, Program Therapist, Private Practice Owner, and Group Therapist. Through these experiences, I've grown immensely as a therapist by expanding the populations I work with and the specialties I’m able to offer.

Hello, friends. Are you emotionally exhausted due to ongoing conflicts in life? Moreover, are you utterly overwhelmed while trying to secure a meaningful connection with family or loved ones? If so, you are not alone. Several children maintain the notion that "parents just don't understand." Conversely, many parents believe their children are mentally and emotionally disconnected from family. If this sounds like your case. . .I am extending my "virtual" hand. Let us work together to overcome issues that have long stopped you and your family from being happy, healthy, and whole.
My name is Dr. Austin, LCSW, and I assist children and families in their efforts to create a communal living environment where families thrive, not merely survive. I believe in establishing a safe, judgment-free therapeutic setting where all are treated with unconditional positive regard.

Trauma can impact any person; but it doesn't define the person. In therapy sessions, we process feelings and emotions related to the traumatic experience/event looking to heal and move forward with resilience and self-love.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, bilingual (Spanish and English) proudly holding that title since 2017 after graduating from NOVA Southeastern University in vibrant Miami, FL. My journey in the field has led me through 7 rewarding years in Foster Care, where I've had the privilege of making a difference. I also worked in a shelter with children and teenagers. Before my U.S. venture, back in my home country, Cuba, I earned my bachelor's degree and spent 8 fulfilling years as a Psychotherapist.
For me, helping individuals become the best version of themselves isn't just a profession – it's a passion. Having spent 5 years as a Case Manager in a shelter, I understand the intricacies of challenging situations. Now, as a fervent advocate for Individual Therapy, I see it as an investment in your own well-being.
Taking the step towards therapy is a decision I wholeheartedly recommend. Witnessing individuals tackle difficult situations head-on and embark on a journey of personal growth is incredibly rewarding. So, let's invest time and dedication in your well-being – it's not just therapy; it's a pathway to your own growth!

Coral Gables, FL - Accepting clients in FL
I'm a bilingual licensed psychotherapist (LMHC) based in Miami, originally from Puerto Rico. I provide individual therapy in both English and Spanish, creating a space where you don’t have to explain your culture, your identity or why you feel like you don’t quite fit in. I earned my Master’s in Psychology from Albizu University and my Bachelor’s degree back home in San Juan, Puerto Rico, shaping my ability to blend cultural sensitivity with evidence-based care.
I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief, identity struggles, relationship challenges, narcissistic abuse, and the unique experiences of the LGBTQ+ community. My style is warm, honest, and a little humorous when it helps, because healing doesn’t have to be scripted. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, emotionally drained, or stuck in survival mode, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.
Healing isn’t about rushing toward a silver lining. Some pain doesn’t come with a lesson and that’s totally fine. I believe healing is still possible, even in the darkest moments, not because we need to erase the pain, but because we learn to sit with it, honor it, and grow from it only when we’re ready!

I take pride in being able to meet my clients where they are as we explore what therapy has to offer.

Greenacres, FL - Accepting clients in FL
Welcome! I provide individual therapy to adults dealing with a variety of challenges including: anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions/adjustment issues, complex trauma, and attachment issues. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you have been in therapy before, it is important to choose a therapist that you feel connected to and has experience in treating the areas that align with your needs.
Therapy is an intimate experience, a collaboration between you and the therapist. I take that role seriously and understand that to do my best work, I need to understand each client holistically. I feel like my biggest asset is the ability to see a client's strengths, empower them to achieve their goals, and support them throughout the therapeutic process.
Therapy helps uncover strengths and learn new skills that will allow you to deal with the challenges that arise in life. A successful therapy experience does not mean a person is cured, it means the person has the inner and outer resources to deal with the ups and downs of life. My goal is to help you develop the skills necessary to successfully deal with life, on your own terms.
With warmth, compassion, and a bit of humor, I aim to create a safe, supportive environment to help foster personal growth and healing.
I have experience working in a variety of settings including outpatient, Telehealth therapy , and schools. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and approved Clinical Supervisor.
I look forward to working with you!

Are you overwhelmed by your emotions? Do you feel alone, misunderstood, and as if you’re not good enough?

I specialize in assisting people who feel similarly to how you are feeling in this moment: overwhelmed, misunderstood, alone and with not sight of a way out. Let me help you walk through those feelings, as scary as it might feel or sound. The path gets easier when we walk alongside others, and you are not alone. I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach, EFT - tapping to assist individuals and their loved ones make sense of their inner world.

Green Cove Springs, FL - Accepting clients in FL
*Currently accepting new clients via teletherapy.* I am ready to help you! I have been a therapist for 10+ years and my mission is to help you find balance in your life. I view therapy through a holistic standpoint, in which I use the mind and the body to help you get to the wellness that you so deserve.
I became a therapist because I wanted to help clients navigate the stresses of work and life and make meaningful changes that would improve their mental well-being.
At the first session, you can expect a non-judgmental and an easy-going conversation to build up a therapeutic alliance. At the moment, I practice entirely over tele-health, giving us the flexibility to connect conveniently and safely.
I received a Master's degree in family psychology, in 2010, from Hardin-Simmons University in Texas. I engage others by helping them feel comfortable while also being solution focused. I prescribe to a Cognitive behavioral approach which helps others see life's problems and solutions in a better light. I work with individuals ages 5-100, families, adolescents, marriage or relationship counseling, premarital counseling, and parents who need some guidance raising their children. Some areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, bipolar, problem solving, relationship specialist, communication skills, anger management, coping skills, relaxation exercises, and panic attacks.
