"My name is Carolina Cordovez and I am an Art Therapist in Miami, FL who specializes working with adults who experience anxiety, trauma and low self-esteem. I implement a holistic, client-centered approach to healing by using Art Therapy and Somatic Healing to best support my clients on their journey. I define Art Therapy as the use of art-making and the creative process as an additional tool in the more traditional psychotherapy session. The art-making process serves as a vehicle to help clients identify, express and cope with their presenting problems. Somatic Healing involves the use of mindfulness as a way to better understand and connect with the body, otherwise known as the soma. Using these tools together helps clients to build a stronger mind-body connection, sense of self and manage their symptoms. I cultivate a safe and supportive space to help clients find the answers within themselves in creative and alternative ways."
Brianna Pereira,
​
​MS, RMHCI
I’m Brianna, a psychotherapist based in Miami, born and raised in New York (Long Island, not Manhattan). My practice is rooted in empathy, authenticity, non-judgmental support, and gentle care-frontation, focusing on addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. With a supportive approach, I encourage individuals to navigate their emotional trials, fostering resilience and growth. My therapeutic style is a dynamic approach centered around cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and a strengths-based approach, focusing on empowering clients to harness their inner strengths and achieve lasting positive changes in their lives. Outside of session, you'll likely find me accidentally rescuing an animal somewhere or practicing my favorite mindfulness activities. Let's meet!

I use many CBT related techniques in sessions with my clients, to provide my client with some practical tools to tackle their struggles. I have experience working with many populations and specialize in mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety."

"The love and support that was given without hesitation and meeting the other sponsored runners there is no really one part because the experience was just overwhelming great. The training for my first half I was equal parts scary and excited. At the finish line I felt accomplished, loved, undefeated, family and support. I can’t wait to see who’s the next batch of well deserved runner sponsors."

"I also realized that I am very fortunate to not be in survival mode anymore and that I am able to pause, reflect, notice the patterns, and heal. Because if I was still in survival mode I would probably not even be part of this group and I am so proud of myself for putting myself out there and asking for help because it has been so hard for me to be able to ask for help and that's something I've been doing lately. I've realized community is so important and I'm proud of myself for seeking help/and this community because we're social beings."

"The workshops helped me get my mind right for the future. I had to get rid of the past. I had to get my mind set on goals, and ways to obtain the goals. They showed me how to look at things at a different light and perspective. Doctor Adrian helped us do that. He understood what we went through. The vision boards were really amazing. I still have the journals they gave us."
Don, Program Recipient of the Strongest You Program
"I don't know if we thanked you enough for the amazing groups the team provided. You all planned such an amazing variety of activities for the young women and children, it was a real joy to watch them engaging and having such a good time. Every group was so exciting and organized, the youth had the opportunity to express their creativity in a safe comfortable space, and for this we are so grateful."
