Eliana M. Reyes

Hi, my name is Eliana. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Florida International University (FIU) back in 2008. After graduation, I worked in various clinical research projects at the University of Miami (UM) Miller School of Medicine for several years after which I returned to graduate school to pursue a Master's Degree in Clinician Mental Health Counseling at FIU. Since late 2020, I have been providing psychotherapy in various settings such as

community mental health, intensive outpatient treatment, and private practice to individual clients and couples facing a wide range of mental health and relational challenges. I am originally from Venezuela and Colombia and came to the United States in my late teens; I have lived in Miami for almost three decades. I offer therapy sessions in Spanish and English.

Life is inherently complex and as social beings, struggling with our mental health and relationships can feel deeply isolating and shameful. Being in psychotherapy will offer you the opportunity to better understand yourself and your life history and normalize your experiences. The journey of therapy will also help you understand that you do not have to figure out "the stuff" of life all on your own.

My approach is warm, inviting, and relational. In working with me, you will find a space that is unique, where you feel safe, understood and accepted. We will explore your life history, who you are, and what you are looking for in therapy and do work to help you to grow and add greater meaning to your existence. My communication style is empathic, direct, and solution-focused. I emphasize psychoeducation in my therapeutic work, and aim to co-create with you a therapeutic alliance that helps you experience the healing power of safe and meaningful relationships.

If you are interested in scheduling a session, I invite you to contact me to schedule a consult first so we may discuss your needs, address any questions you may have about how I can help you and identify if we are a good therapeutic match. If you do not see a time slot available in my Headway calendar, feel free to reach me with your availability.
