Sandplay Therapists in Fort Lauderdale, FL

The Center for Specialized Psychology (CSP) specializes in treating adult women, as well as children, couples and families. At CSP our therapists provide treatment through a trauma-informed approach, offering a safe, nonjudgemental and empowering perspective for all clients.

What sets Heart Bonds Counseling apart is our balance of warmth and structure. We believe therapy should feel safe and supportive — but also purposeful and effective. Our team is carefully chosen for clinical skill, integrity, and genuine care for the people we serve. From your first contact, you’ll notice that we prioritize responsiveness, thoughtful matching, and a clear path forward. If you’re ready for therapy that is both compassionate and results-oriented, we invite you to reach out.

If you are here, it’s probably because something’s just not right - you're feeling anxious, depressed or having problems with relationships, school, or work. If you are feeling stuck or disconnected from your relationship with others or yourself, you are in the right place to begin healing. I provide support, accountability, and specific tools to navigate difficult situations. I am passionate about helping teens and adults manage difficult emotions, process relationship stressors, and overcome trauma. I have current availability for in person or online therapy and would love to chat with you to see if working together feels like it could be a good fit.

My practice offers a calm, thoughtful space where you can slow down, feel understood, and explore what truly matters to you. I work collaboratively and at your pace, helping you gain insight and emotional stability. If your ready for meaningful, supportive change with challenges you then I invite you to reach out to me.

Wellness is not about one single element. It is about ALL of our elements: mental, physical, spiritual & emotional. All parts of you are welcome here.

Fort Lauderdale has one of the largest LGBTQ+ communities and most established affirming therapy ecosystems in the southeastern United States, with LGBTQ+-focused practices and therapists well represented across the city and Broward County. The city's affluent waterfront and yachting culture — and its reputation as a destination for wealthy retirees and seasonal residents — create a distinctive therapy clientele that includes high-net-worth individuals navigating relationship complexity, addiction, and the existential weight of leisure-focused affluence. Broward Health and Memorial Healthcare System provide institutional mental health resources for a county of nearly two million people. Fort Lauderdale's large Brazilian and Haitian communities generate demand for Portuguese- and Haitian Creole-speaking therapists, and the broader South Florida recovery community makes addiction treatment and aftercare among the most active practice areas in the region.
