LGBT therapists in North Miami Beach, FL

I’m a licensed therapist who works with individuals and couples navigating things like anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem. I’m especially passionate about helping couples improve communication, work through intimacy concerns, and better understand each other.

My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I want to walk alongside you and help to empower you. Together, we find hope.

I am dedicated to the mental health field and have been both a therapist and a clinical supervisor. My areas of knowledge include trauma, depression, grief, anxiety, adjustment disorder, substance abuse, ADHD, self-esteem issues, and life transition difficulties. I work with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families.

I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I specialize in treating clients with trauma, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder.

I help adults and teens who struggle with conflict, alienation, and self-doubt develop self-esteem and feel free to pursue joy without feeling guilty for it. I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, trauma, or anxiety related to their relationships or family. My clients also learn self-regulation skills and see a decrease in high anxiety and stress within 2-5 sessions.

Hi! My name is Susan, and I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges in a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space. With 28 years of experience supporting people of all ages, I’ve learned that we express ourselves differently at each stage of life - and understanding those changes is my specialty. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and confidential environment where you can explore your feelings, make sense of your struggles, and begin to heal with honesty, acceptance, and a renewed sense of hope.
