Services
Anxiety Therapy
Specialized cognitive behavioral therapy addresses anxiety disorders through evidence-based techniques. We help patients distinguish reasonable fears from unproductive anxiety patterns while developing coping strategies. Our approach combines clinical expertise with personalized treatment plans to reduce anxiety symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Gifted Testing
Comprehensive evaluations determine eligibility for Miami-Dade County's gifted program using standardized tests like WISC-V and RIAS-2. Our assessments measure intellectual abilities and cognitive patterns to identify gifted students. We provide detailed reports for school submission and placement in advanced academic programs.
Depression Treatment
CBT-based treatment helps patients differentiate normal sadness from depression-related cognitive distortions. We address negative thought patterns and develop strategies to manage depressive symptoms. Our approach focuses on practical solutions and behavioral changes to improve emotional well-being.
Psychological Assessment
Thorough assessments combine clinical interviews and validated measures to clarify diagnoses. We evaluate cognitive functioning, emotional patterns, and behavioral factors to create targeted treatment plans. Our assessments support accurate diagnosis and effective intervention strategies for various mental health concerns.
