Individual Counseling in Miami

You don’t need to wait until life feels unmanageable to consider therapy.

Individual counseling provides a private, supportive environment where you can talk openly about what you’re experiencing, better understand your emotions and patterns, and develop practical ways to navigate challenges.

People seek individual counseling for many different reasons. Sometimes there’s a specific concern that needs attention. Other times, life simply doesn’t feel the way you want it to, and having an outside perspective can help.

Our Miami therapists work with clients experiencing concerns such as the following, and more:

Therapy That Fits Your Individual Needs

Sometimes the hardest part of looking for counseling near you is knowing what kind of therapist or therapy you actually need.

You don’t have to figure that out on your own.

Our clinicians have experience with a variety of therapeutic approaches, which allows counseling to be personalized around your concerns, goals, personality, and preferences.

Depending on your needs and the therapist you’re working with, treatment may incorporate approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, trauma-focused therapy, family therapy, or couples therapy.

For relationship concerns, therapists may also incorporate approaches such as the Gottman Method when appropriate.

The goal isn’t to fit every client into the same treatment plan. It’s to understand what you’re experiencing and determine an approach that makes sense for you.

Patient testimonials

Hear from our patients in their own words

Coming to see you was the best decision I ever made" are words that I said to Alessana at some point during my therapy. Alessana helped me build confidence in myself both personally and professionally. Through my therapy, I gained insight and understanding of who I am and my value, and not just to individuals in my life, but to myself. I now value who I am and most importantly, respect myself. Subsequently, I am down to a 5mg dose (compared to 25mg dose when I started therapy) of blood pressure medication and have continued to lose and maintain my weight. I attribute these improvements to therapy. I've learned to control my stress, think things out without anger or anxiety and that keeps my emotional state on an even keel. Additionally, it has helped me from hitting the fridge when I am stressed or at the very least make better, healthier choices. Now, one year after completing therapy, I still feel it was the best decision I ever made.

I started working with Alessana because I was desperate for change and had reached a low point in my life. Her compassion and empathetic support were crucial to my healing many old wounds and the variety of techniques she employs in therapy helped me to find an inner fortitude I never knew I had. I have learned from her how to set healthy boundaries in my relationships and am now finding it easy to speak what is on my mind effectively. Moreover, I now know I have a lot to say, and a right to be heard. My relationships are more authentic and I am having a lot more fun these days--which is a lot to be said, given the current state of world affairs. I'm grateful to Alessana for her professional talents, her enduring patience, kindness and guidance, not to mention her sense of humor. I never knew therapy could be fun. I will continue to recommend her as a counselor/therapist/coach."

Alessana Fordin has been indescribably helpful to me in my life. I recommended Alessana and the Lotus Counseling Center to one of my best and closest friends. Ms. Fordin is very intelligent, highly trained, patient, knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. She helped me resolve major issues that had been bothering me and recurring for years. I am so blessed to have her in my life. I now love myself and feel much better."

I started working with Alessana to treat depression and anxiety. Years ago, I would never have thought that I would be in the place that I'm in today. My work with her has greatly improved all aspects of my life. I have a better relationship with myself and others. Alessana is truly the best at what she does. She is very compassionate, intelligent, understanding, and kind. She has guided me to overcome and understand a lot of challenges that I've had. Going to Lotus has been one of the most fulfilling choices that I've made for myself. I am forever thankful for the work that we've done together!!
