Self Esteem Therapists in Coral Gables, FL

In every interaction, there's an opportunity for growth and connection. I believe in living a relational life. We as human beings are wired for connection both to ourselves and to each other. Let's embark on a journey to build and nurture relationships that bring joy, understanding, and fulfillment.

I work in a way that emphasizes a deep understanding of oneself. Therapy is a place that gives you the freedom to think and feel. Your thoughts and feelings will be explored in a safe and empathetic manner. You will gain a greater understanding of your inner self and the filters through which you perceive people around you and the world. You will also comprehend why you think and act the way you do. Maladaptive patterns will be identified; change can then occur. I've been in practice with adults, couples, adolescents, and children as a registered mental health intern.

Everyone deserves to be heard and validated. I believe that people have the power to become whoever they want to be, and sometimes they just need the right tools to get there. That's where I come in. I provide clients with those tools through various techniques, but more importantly, I take the time to understand you. I explore your goals, fears, desires, upbringing, and what matters most to you. I delve into your relationships and the connections between your past and future. By asking insightful questions and helping you connect the dots, I aim to facilitate deep self-understanding and transformative "aha" moments.

I work with adolescents and adults finding their way through life changes by helping them to discover and communicate their needs to others more assertively and respond to life stressors in healthier ways. When we feel stressed, we often vision and dream of what a better life could be for ourselves. As circumstances change, so do our paths of life. We will explore the areas in your life that have silenced your voice, stopped your personal and/or career growth or caused you to lose motivation. In my work, I will challenge you to put your dreams into action while supporting your pace with patience and consistency.

People come to me for help with a range of difficulties: Some have problems with relationships, work or school; others are reacting to stress or going through a difficult period in their lives. Many are troubled by anxiety, depression or other unhappy feelings, or feel blocked from being effective and comfortable at work or at home. Often they have tried treatment before, without success. I collaborate with each person to evaluate his or her needs carefully, and tailor therapy to that individual. For some people brief therapy is best, for others it takes longer.

Specialized in anxiety, depression and life transitions, I support clients in cultivating healthier thought patterns and behaviors. We will work together to tailor your treatment to your unique needs and goals by incorporating different cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques.

Girl, your 20s do not have to be this hard! You are focused on thriving, yet some days feel like you are dragging and surviving. You may be stuck people-pleasing or living up to that ideal image of what adulting should be. Not going well, right? Trying to juggle life, dating, work, friendships, school, etc. is THAT hard. You are not imagining it. Pain may be a part of life, but suffering doesn't have to be. Imagine life feeling whole, purposeful...focus on the FULL. How you get there is with clear intentions. One foot in front of the other.

It is hard for you to share or understand how you are feeling? do you manage your stress at work? are you having somatic symptoms, feelings in your body without a organic reason? it is hard for you to fall asleep? Do you feel insecure around many people? do you blame yourself about everything you say? “I help through a wellness model, connect and understand your emotions, by looking into your achievements and strengths that will build your self-confidence, in order to be ready to accept your past experiences, enjoy the present and be ready to focus on your goals to face the future”.

Do you feel that you are worrying endlessly? Are you overwhelmed with juggling the demands of your professional and parenting responsibilities? Or maybe you are struggling with feeling guilty about not spending enough time with your children or being unable to meet your work demands. Do you often worry about people thinking you are not “doing enough”? Or maybe you have noticed that you are experiencing mom burnout and have neglected your own physical and mental health needs? Do you want to overcome your anxiety and these stressors to enjoy your motherhood?

Hi! My name is Melissa Cruz, I am a licensed mental health counselor at Buxani Counseling Care. Our mission is to empower our clients to resolve their issues and lead fulfilling lives through a mindful and tailored therapeutic approach to mental health.

As a therapist I utilize clinical interventions and techniques that are individualized to unique issues of the client. I have extensive training and experience in evidenced based treatments such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). In addition, I am experienced in the use of brief therapy techniques such as solution focused therapy and narrative therapy. In my experience I find that an integration of clinical modalities is often most effective and appreciated by clients.

Are you struggling to find a healthy work life balance, feeling overwhelmed in your professional or academic life, and/or not able to make time for yourself or your loved ones? Do you often ask yourself, why does it seem like everyone has it together except me? Do you wish that you had a significant other, but feel lost in the dating world? Perhaps you find that your thoughts keep you up at night, or you are dealing with feelings of sadness that are interfering with your personal and professional/ academic growth. Maybe you find that your worries keep you from making friends or connecting with others.

Everyone has the ability to heal from the deepest of wounds and the most challenging of circumstances. There's a saying, "Healing is the application of love to the places inside that hurt." I'm here to fully support you in tending to those places. Together we will journey into understanding the major themes and patterns in your life and what they are trying to teach you. This increased level of awareness can help you access your strength and intuition, eliminate negative self talk and choose a more fulfilling relationship with yourself, others and life. I offer a 15 minute meet and greet to ensure we are a good fit.

I'm glad you're here! I work with teens & adults who are struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression and adjustment challenges. If you feel stuck or struggle with distressing thoughts & difficult emotions, you're not alone. It's normal to want to avoid discomfort. The trouble is, this often leads to more suffering, more problems, and gets in the way of living a meaningful life. I provide a supportive & compassionate space to promote skill-building, acceptance, and flexibility to cope with triggers. I focus on helping clients make behavioral change in & outside of sessions to break old patterns.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I work with adults (18+) who are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and interpersonal conflict. Although therapy is a highly individualized process, my goal is to offer a reflective space where you may understand your experience, recognize influences, and explore the ways in which you relate to yourself and others. My therapeutic approach is insight-oriented and relational, and aims to support your ability to identify and modulate emotional states, recognize interpersonal and behavioral patterns, and develop more effective coping skills.

Since 1997 I have been providing care to clients struggling with varying degrees of mental health and life issues. I work with a diverse population and provide individual, couples and family therapy in an outpatient setting.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, such as life transitions, personal growth, depression, anxiety, conflict in interpersonal relationships, trauma that continues to dictate their life, to name a few. Many times clients come to my office when they are at a crossroads. My role is to serve as your guide as you embark on a courageous journey towards rediscovering & healing yourself.
