PSYCHOTHERAPY & COUNSELING · NORTH MIAMI, FL
Healing Starts with Being Truly Heard.
Psychotherapy is one of the most powerful tools in mental health care — not because it offers quick fixes, but because it creates lasting change. Our licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches tailored to who you are, what you’ve experienced, and where you want to go.

Evidence-Based Approaches
Therapy That Actually Works.
Our therapists are trained in multiple evidence-based modalities — not locked into a single approach. We match the therapy to the patient, not the other way around. Here are the primary approaches we use at Assertive Comprehensive Care.
🧠
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The gold standard for depression and anxiety. CBT identifies and restructures distorted thought patterns that drive emotional distress — producing measurable, lasting change in how you think, feel, and behave.
🌊
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT is now used widely for emotional dysregulation, self-harm, eating disorders, and trauma. It combines cognitive techniques with mindfulness and distress tolerance.
💭
Psychodynamic Therapy
Explores how unconscious patterns, early relationships, and unresolved conflicts shape your current emotional life. Ideal for deeper, longer-term work on identity, relationships, and recurring life themes.
🛡️
Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT)
A specialized adaptation of CBT designed specifically for trauma survivors. TF-CBT processes traumatic memories safely and systematically, reducing PTSD symptoms while building resilience and coping capacity.
🔬
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain process and integrate traumatic memories — often producing significant relief in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy.
🤝
Motivational Interviewing
A collaborative, patient-centered approach that strengthens a person’s own motivation to change. Particularly effective for addiction, ambivalence, and behavior change challenges.

Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions focused entirely on your personal growth, healing, and goals. The most private and personalized form of therapy.
Couples Therapy
Rebuild communication, repair trust, and deepen connection. Our couples therapists are trained in Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Family Therapy
When the system is struggling, the whole system heals. Family therapy addresses dynamics, communication patterns, and relational wounds that affect everyone.
Group Therapy
Structured therapeutic groups for specific concerns — including grief, anxiety, and DBT skills. Powerful, evidence-supported, and more affordable than individual sessions.
What to Expect
Your First Session and Beyond.
Starting therapy can feel uncertain. Here is exactly what your experience at Assertive Comprehensive Care will look like — from your first call to your ongoing sessions.
01
Initial Consultation
Your first session is about understanding your needs. Your therapist listens, asks thoughtful questions, and begins to understand your history, concerns, and goals — without judgment.
02
Setting Goals Together
In the second or third session, you and your therapist collaboratively define clear, measurable therapeutic goals. This gives your work direction and a way to track your progress.
03
Weekly Sessions
Most clients attend weekly 50-minute sessions. Consistency is key — regular sessions allow you to build momentum, process experiences, and develop lasting skills.
04
Measuring Progress
Your therapist checks in on your progress regularly using validated tools. Therapy is not open-ended — we work toward your goals and adjust the approach if needed.
