Hi, I’m Char and I genuinely love people and enjoy helping individuals like you on their life journey to become mentally whole and healthy, as well as, offer support to those striving to utilize their gifts, talents, and discover their dreams.

Welcome! My name is Maricarmen (Maria) Clapp. I am glad to see that you decided to take time for yourself and look into what is bothering you right now. We all need some support, guidance, and an honest ear from time to time to get us back on track. I am here to help you do that. I am a licensed mental health counselor, certified addictions counselor, and certified school counselor (K-12). I have over 20 years of experience assisting youth and families, adults, and older adults in dealing with negative emotions and behaviors that lead to not feeling good about oneself, misusing medication, or abuse alcohol and other drugs. My primary focus is connecting with you and establish a trusting and honest relationship, not so much on the specific labels or diagnoses. I practice a holistic approach, looking at several aspects of your life that may be misaligned, and thus may be causing you stress. I follow a solution-focused approach, based on cognitive-behavioral strategies, and supported by a client-centered framework. I work with youth (13 and up) as well as adults (18 and up), and older adults (70 and up). I have experience assessing and providing psychoeducational programs in parenting and anger management, as well as counseling to individuals dealing with legal issues including domestic violence, anger management, DUI, or other misdemeanor charges that have been court-ordered to complete mental health services. I also have experience assisting youth in the spectrum who have social difficulties at school and with peers. I hold a bachelor's in Psychology, a master's in Mental Health Counseling, and a doctorate in Organizational Leadership. I believe that all of us are leaders in some capacity in our lives. Feeling empowered and in charge of your life often leads to a more positive and productive life for yourself and for others around you. Let’s connect soon!

My journey to help others lead their best lives started over 15 years ago. I have worked to help children, youth, and adults offering them a range of therapy services to guide them through life’s challenges and most trying times. Life can get difficult, and sometimes a little help from a professional Psychotherapist can make things better. I care about your well-being and provide you all the tools you need in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most traumatic circumstances. I use a blend of brain and body based therapies. My primary modality is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy), based on the Adaptive Information Processing model. Neuroscience and studies on Neuroplasticity are bearing out that the mind can heal itself. Old pathways and negative memories can be updated with new adaptive information. EMDR uses eye movements and other forms of physical tapping and Bi-Lateral stimulation to help the brain process old stuck memories and trauma. Not just for Big Trauma's like car accidents, it can help with many issues from the past, present and perceived future concerns including PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety and more specific issues such as religious abuse, shame, guilt and pain management.

I am a bilingual (English, Spanish) Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Miami-Dade County, Florida. I also have a Master of Arts in Marital and Family Therapy. My experience comes from providing direct mental health services for children, teens, adults, and couples with a variety of presenting issues including anxiety, depression, relationship and/or family issues, grief, trauma, multicultural concerns/difficulties, coping with medical diagnoses, and gender/sexual identity. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation for progress throughout the course of services. That said, I approach psychotherapy through a biopsychosocial lens that encompasses the entirety of the individual. My clinical experience spans from working with adults diagnosed with chronic medical conditions, children/adolescents with interpersonal difficulties, academic difficulties, and adjustment issues, as well as couples experiencing relationship issues. Working in South Florida has provided me with the opportunity to work with individuals from a variety of different cultures and religions; thus, it is important for me to incorporate one’s cultural identity into mental health services. My experience providing mental health services ranges across settings. Although most of my work has been in hospitals and community mental health centers, I have worked in the school system, at rehabilitation jails, and in the community conducting in-home psychotherapy services. Given my background in systems, I truly believe that one’s environment is crucial in their mental health journey. My treatment modality/approach is predominantly Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I like to incorporate psychodynamic theory (Object-Relations) and/or family systems (Bowenian, Structural) depending on the individual and the presenting problem. At the end of the day, I believe that psychotherapy is a collaborative process and relationship in which you are the expert on you. My hope is that we can work towards identified goals and improved quality of life.

I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in Florida with over 25 years of professional work experience. Sometimes, "therapy" seems to be identified and connotated with an idea that the psychologist or therapist has the answers to all of one's challenges. I believe therapy to be a place in which you can express yourself without judgement, there is likely a natural rapport and connection. One has to feel comfortable in this process. Who are we. Who am I. The multitude of variables and influences that influence us. This carries on through our life as we work, have children, and suffer loss, change, and attempts to see our lives as worthy. We are human. I can tell you my work history, that varies from state psychiatric, to homeless, addiction, to the elderly. I have worked with clients suffering from depression, bipolar, anxiety, trauma. I am EMDR certified, technique helping those that suffer from trauma and anxiety. I believe all connected. It is all encompassing. Our childhood history follows through the multitude of variables we face as we grow older. To follow our hearts, to self-actualize, to be authentic, to self-love. So much to say, so little space, it's only a conversation and then you go from there. I believe that you are the expert of your story, I am here to listen to it.
