Davie, FL - Accepting clients in FL
Hi there, I am Charly.
As a clinical therapist, I admire your willingness to seek therapy support. I want to offer understanding, and empathic emotional support to assist anyone experiencing emotional distress.
Most people tend to suffer silently in their heads, or minds, due to conscious or subconscious, self-blame, shame, or guilt feelings as they seem to feel helpless. Individuals experiencing acute emotional distress due to mental health conditions often fail to realize that unresolved, deep internal pain or heartache is silently triggering their emotional distress.
One school of talk therapy called, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), proposes that the lack of the capacity for "Psychological Flexibility" and our brain's default, or Survival Mode functioning the instinctual responses of "Flight or Flight," as required for human survival.
As, your therapist, I am willing to support you in exploring your difficulty or distress and examine the mental barriers or psychological blinders causing you to feel internally conflicted and stuck. Some of my past and current clients tell me that "my ability to relate to them with an open mind and withholding personal judgment and a solution-focused perspective," helps them to feel at ease and connect with me and my style of therapy.
I follow an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from academic learning, experiential knowledge, and over 30 years of practicing experience using evidence-based treatment modalities based on scientific literature and up-to-date neuroscience research. I have training and experience in the following major treatment modalities such as CBT, REBT, SFBT, ACT, Mindfulness, and specifically to deal with trauma, a newer form of Rapid Eye Movement Therapy (Accelerated Resolution Therapy).

Seeking therapy is a big step in making your mental well-being a priority and I am proud of you. You should be too. I will be with you every step of the way also-so you’re not on this journey alone.
I specialize in helping people analyze their circumstances, explore their thoughts that arise from those circumstances, and process their feelings so that they can make the behavioral changes they wish to make in order to improve their overall life satisfaction.
Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, or feeling stuck, I am here to help. I bring my nonjudgmental attitude and therapeutic techniques to every session and will equip you with the skills needed to overcome whatever challenges you face while also being a source of support.
Let’s get started!

Psychotherapy is a way for you to work through challenging feelings, situations, and emotions. I offer a safe, and nonjudgmental space to work through the challenges and emotions you are facing. We will work together to help you identify your strengths to help you achieve your goals while also practicing self-discovery. Understanding yourself and utilizing coping skills are essential for growth and dealing with change.
I have a diverse background, having been born in Brazil and having lived in Switzerland, Ecuador, and currently the United States. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Outside of work, I find joy in exploring various cultures through travel—I've had the opportunity to visit 25 countries so far. I also have a passion for trying new foods and soaking up the Florida sun on weekends
My strengths as a therapist are in being empathetic, authentic, and sensitive to my client's needs. I strongly believe that everyone has internal resources that are available to help bring about a successful resolution to life's challenges.

Frequently asked questions
Why filter by Florida rather than a city
like Tampa?
When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Florida from Miami to Jacksonville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Florida.
Will my therapist take Oscar?
Yes! If you use Oscar you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Oscar you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.
How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?
The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.
What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?
Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.
Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?
Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.
What to expect during your first session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.
Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
