Great to meet you!

Leonel J. Garciga, Licensed, Mental Health Counselor living and practicing in Miami, Florida since 2004. I am bilingual speaking English and Spanish with life experience having raised eight children in a blinded family setting. I can understand the difficulties of raising emotionally health children with today’s challenges that family face. I have a passion for my profession and find people fascinating.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use various counseling techniques which include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Choice Therapy, Client-Center Therapy, Rational Emotional Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interview, and psychodrama techniques. Using diverse models of therapy, I am able to individualize my sessions to meet my client’s needs.

What you can expect from our first session

An increase awareness of behaviors and thoughts that are not working for them in achieving their goals. An acceptance and non-judgmental therapeutic environment while challenging faulty thinking.
