Areas We Serve

# Rooted in Weston, open across _Florida_.

The office is in Weston, a short drive from most of west and central Broward County. Many clients come in person; many others meet by secure telehealth from anywhere in Florida. Sessions are available in English or Spanish.

Distance matters more than people expect. Therapy works best when a weekly session is genuinely sustainable, and a forty-five minute drive each way is the quiet reason a lot of good work stops after a month. Weston sits at a useful point on the map: [Davie](/couples-counseling-davie) and[Plantation](/anxiety-therapy-plantation) are ten to twenty minutes east, [Pembroke Pines](/couples-counseling-pembroke-pines) and [Miramar](/couples-counseling-miramar) are a short run south, and [Fort Lauderdale](/couples-counseling-fort-lauderdale) and [Hollywood](/couples-counseling-hollywood) are a straight shot down I-595 or I-95 outside of rush hour. If you are coming from farther out in Broward, Miami-Dade, or Palm Beach, video sessions carry the same work at the same rate.

The town pages below are not directory filler. Each one is written for the way this specialty tends to show up in that community, the commuter whose anxiety turns into insomnia, the couple in a newer neighborhood who relocated for work and are building a life where their family is not, the parent carrying everyone else's worry, the older injury that surfaces once life is finally stable. Start with the town closest to you, or with the specialty that describes the problem, and both paths land in the same place.

Anywhere in Florida

## Telehealth

Sessions are held in English or Spanish, whichever language feels more like your own.
