Therapists in Miami Shores, FL

Anna Alberti, LMHC. 25 years of counseling experience. Let me assist you on your journey to a healthy mental health. I have tools that can help you with stress management, healthy relationship communication, motivation for change and identifying your goals for treatment. Assisting clients in identifying their needs, motivation for change and life balance has been my journey as a counselor. Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with Mindfulness have proven scientifically to assist clients in evaluating their needs and how to change unhealthy negative thinking behaviors which prevent their happiness and journey to joy. I utilize psychoeducation tools and a Holestic approach to counseling (Mind, Body, Spirit balance) Let's explore your goals together to help you find the peace and happiness you deserve in your life!

I know how difficult but rewarding the process of self-change can be. I hope to offer empowerment and validation to the clients that I work with, as well as solutions to the problems you are facing. I am a big believer in positive thinking, and that small steps can add up to big changes. I know taking steps to better yourself can feel daunting, and I am here to offer support and accountability on that journey. If your efforts to achieve change typically result in to-do lists that become lists of unaccomplished goals, please reach out to me and allow me to assist you. I spent many long years of my life working odd jobs and wandering around life aimlessly before finding my calling in therapy. I attended the University of Central Florida to complete my Master's in mental health, and I have worked in community mental health agencies, including traditional outpatient, inpatient, schools and clinics, substance abuse, and with adults and children from diverse walks of life and backgrounds. I have a Solution-Focused background and utilize elements of CBT, and ACT. I am a big believer in the science of mental health and what current research shows, and I like to find approaches that are tailored to my individual clients. I also believe that our experiences in life have lasting impact, which is not something to be battled against, but rather incorporated into our own personal versions of mental health. I believe in research and skill-building, but also that this is not a one-size fits all process. I look forward to working with you to achieve change in your life!

My name is Jennifer King, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in both New Jersey and Florida. I earned my Master of Social Work degree at the University of South Florida in 2007. I've worked in various settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, relationship problems, trauma/abuse, addictions and individuals who have experienced homelessness. Over the past 15 years as a clinician I've learned that the most valuable part of therapy is the connection one feels with the person they have chosen to share their experiences with. I feel that we can all experience growth through challenging experiences that increase our self-awareness. Often a person who is not a part of our personal circle can offer a fresh perspective or additional emotional support to help us through a difficult time. I believe it is very important to be able to share our feelings and emotions and to feel accepted and understood. It takes courage to ask for help and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
