Getting to know Melissa Miranda
Melissa Miranda is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with the state of Florida and National Certified Counselor. She holds a master’s degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy from the University of Central Florida and is also a Certified Relationship Educator in PREP 8.0 (Prevention and Relation Education Program).
Melissa has experience working with both adults and adolescents dealing with depression, anxiety, sexual trauma, and relationship issues.

Melissa’s focus is to develop a strong relationship with clients to effectively help them on their journey to wellness.

What should a new client know about working with you?
I offer counseling to individuals, couples, and families 11yrs and up with the goal of helping clients work towards a state of holistic wellness. I have experience working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, sexual trauma, and relationship issues. I have also taught several relationship education workshops to couples and individuals. I believe that we are all humans with a complex set of issues that come from our stories, however, the symptoms that develop from these stories do not have to define us. I utilize psychoeducation and utilize theories such as CBT, IFS, and Narrative approaches in my practice, and I also know that at the end of the day the client is the expert on themselves and their relationships. My hope is to empower my clients in their process of healing by helping them trust themselves in the process too.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We all have the need to be loved, accepted, and heard. We are all humans under construction, trying to make it through our day-to-day as best we can, and that takes work! My goal is to provide a therapeutic environment where you do not feel judged, can openly express yourself, and begin "doing the work." Therapy is an opportunity to self-reflect, challenge oneself, and grow individually and interpersonally. My hope is to develop a strong relationship with my clients and help them on their path to personal growth and wellness.
My goal is to help you find peace where there is disorder and healing where there is pain. I give my clients the chance to explore different areas of their life that may be affecting their mental health and work with them towards discovering purpose and fulfillment. I would be honored to be a part of your journey towards recovery.
