Our Team Members

Hi, I’m Denise (she or ella), a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 6 years of experience providing trauma-informed therapy. As a queer, first-generation Cuban American from Miami, I’m passionate about creating a warm, culturally affirming space where you can show up fully as yourself. I work with individuals and couples to build deeper, more meaningful connections, using a relational and collaborative approach that integrates Attachment, EMDR, Mindfulness, CBT, and other evidence-based practices.

Hi, I’m Courtney, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and identity concerns. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, drawing from CBT, DBT, and client-centered therapy to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow.
