Maribel Aheran, LMHC — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Maribel!

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating ADHD, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. My work centers on creating a safe space where you can explore challenges at your own pace and develop strategies that fit your unique needs and strengths.

My focus

Typically, I help clients who are veterans or active duty, have ADHD, experienced trauma, identify as LGBTQ+, experienced grief, or are neurodivergent.

My approach

The most common theoretical approaches I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, Adlerian, Trauma Therapy, and Play Therapy.

My communication style

I would describe my communication style as I am a relaxed, accepting, empathetic, relatable, open-minded, and kind.

My journey to mental healthcare

I first knew I wanted to be a therapist during my first year of college. I worked in the public school system, serving as a teacher, Special Education Coordinator, and Guidance Counselor. Eventually, I decided to chase my true passion and became a therapist.

My goals for you

My approach is to meet you where you are, mutually identify goals, assess and track progress periodically, help you learn about your diagnosis, and work together to identify the root of the problem so we can address it meaningfully.

Our first session

During the first session, I work on learning more about you, building rapport, and identifying possible treatment obstacles.
