Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in working with children and adolescents navigating emotional, behavioral, and social challenges. This can include anxiety, mood changes, school difficulties, peer relationships, family stress, and life transitions. My approach is warm, developmentally appropriate, and strengths-based, helping young people feel safe expressing themselves while building skills for emotional regulation, communication, and problem-solving. I incorporate play-based and creative techniques with younger children, and a more collaborative, insight-oriented approach with teens. I also work closely with parents and caregivers to support consistency, strengthen relationships, and create a more supportive home environment. My goal is to help children and adolescents feel more confident, understood, and equipped to handle life’s challenges.

Alberto Gamarra
Psychologist, Ph. D. NCSP
For many children and adolescents , wanting to feel like they're being heard and listened to is critical to changing negative behaviors. Often-times, despite their parent's best intentions, a third party is needed. Being an objective voice for these kids is often all that is needed. I'm able to help them bridge the communication gap they are feeling with their parents and sometimes, that is enough for significant change to start.

Miami's identity as a gateway between the United States and Latin America shapes its therapy landscape significantly, with Spanish-speaking therapists and culturally informed care for Cuban, Venezuelan, Colombian, and Caribbean communities in exceptionally high demand. The city's fast-paced lifestyle, high cost of living, and image-conscious culture contribute to elevated rates of anxiety, eating concerns, and relationship stress. Jackson Health System and the University of Miami Health System provide institutional mental health services, while a large private practice community serves Coral Gables, Brickell, Wynwood, and Miami Beach. Many Miami therapists are themselves immigrants or children of immigrants, bringing lived cultural experience to their clinical work.
