It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

“We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing”. -Charles Schaefer. Play is vital for children to express themselves and learn about their surroundings and general environment. In addition to exploration, it is essential for their development. Allowing the space for them to play freely generates the possibility of understanding their world and their motivation. Instead of the traditional format of communication, we often learn more about a child's thoughts, feelings, motivations, and struggles by watching them play.

To be able to give a child power, motivation, and confidence will set the foundation for a successful life. Often times when dealing with a traumatic situation and learning to deal and cope with it effectively, allows a child (or anyone for that matter) to become the best versions of themselves and learn to move forward.

Play Therapy sessions with a Licensed clinician that cares and helps create a safe place. I guide my clients and their parents every step of the way and implement various methods to help them develop new attitudes towards all of life’s most complex matters. The works I do benefits children coming from abusive homes and dealing with some of those challenges.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Miami

Finding the right LGBTQIA-affirming therapist in Miami starts with identifying what you want to address in therapy. For some, that may be directly related to identity — like navigating coming out, processing minority stress, or working through family dynamics. For others, identity may not be the focus at all, but seeing a provider who understands LGBTQIA experiences can make it easier to talk openly about anxiety, depression, relationships, or other concerns.

When evaluating providers, look for a licensed therapist or psychiatrist who has specific training or experience in LGBTQIA-affirming care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach, background, and whether they feel like a good match. A free phone consultation is another way to assess fit before committing to a session.

Therapy in Miami can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Whether you prefer virtual appointments or in-person sessions in neighborhoods like Wynwood, Coconut Grove, or downtown Miami, you can find LGBTQIA-affirming providers who accept your plan.
