As someone who has encountered many obstacles, my experiences have taught me that strength is often discovered in life's most difficult moments; this is why I believe that feeling genuinely seen, heard, and supported are foundational tools to true healing.
Hello, my name is Katrice Anderson, and I am a licensed mental health therapist with a master's degree. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and discover their strengths in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. I work with adults, adolescents, and children experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and trauma-related issues. Many of my clients have found themselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—seeking to be seen and heard, wanting guidance, and hoping to build coping strategies and trust themselves.
My approach is compassionate and evidence-based, incorporating strengths-based approaches and tailoring treatment to fit each client's needs. I create a safe space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences while developing practical tools to cope with challenges and achieve meaningful change.
Whether you are seeking self-understanding, emotional healing, or healthier coping strategies, I would like to support you on your journey. Your experiences and challenges matter, and taking the first step is a courageous act of self-care. I am committed to meeting you where you are with empathy and encouragement as we work toward lasting positive change.

I believe therapy can be a space to slow down, understand the patterns we come from, and begin making choices that feel more aligned with who we want to be.
My name is David J. DeJesus, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. My work is grounded primarily in Bowen Family Systems Theory and psychodynamic thinking, with attention to how family history, relationships, and early experiences shape present-day patterns. I work with individuals and families navigating complex family dynamics, early recovery, anxiety, emotional regulation, internal conflict, and intergenerational patterns. I also integrate cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy-informed tools to support insight, coping skills, and intentional change.
My approach is collaborative, reflective, and grounded in curiosity. I help clients better understand patterns in their relationships, family history, emotional reactions, and learned roles. Clients can expect a thoughtful, honest space that supports insight, coping skills, emotional regulation, and intentional change.
Starting therapy can be a meaningful step toward understanding yourself and your relationships more clearly. My hope is to offer a space where you feel respected, supported, and encouraged as you work toward growth, healing, and more intentional change. I would be honored to support you in that process.

Hi everyone my name is Arrisha Sharpe , I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker . I have been in this field for ten years where I have worked with individuals who struggled with depression ,anxiety , bipolar different disorders /comorbidities. In my experience there are so many different challenges that impact clients negatively at home and all areas of life. Working alongside the client to overcome maladaptive thoughts and debilitating anxiety. Utilizing Healthy coping skills and talk therapy to restructure thoughts and actions. The client is the expert on themselves and I help provide the tools to explore the healing journey.
Over the years I've used CBT (cognitive behavioral Therapy ) and Humanistic person centered approaches with different individuals . I believe in helping individuals and families restructure their maladaptive thoughts and gain sense of their being. In my experience meeting the individuals or family where they are and encouraging their self determination.
lolI believe the client is the expert on themselves and I will be there to assist you in whatever issues or concerns you may have and the changes that need to be made. In life things are not certain however having a therapist that would be there listening and providing healthy coping skills to improve your current situation is a good step.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Miami, FL usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Miami, FL offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
