Accepting Clients

My name is Sarah Maria Filgueiras (she/they), but you can call me "Figs," just like the fruit. I am a licensed mental health counselor in FL

Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida

About My Clients

My practice centers around aiding those grappling with low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, empowering them to unravel core conflicts hindering their well-being. I thrive assisting clients in transitional phases, whether embarking on new career paths, engaging in educational pursuits, or navigating diverse relationships.

My Background and Approach

I believe that authenticity plays a crucial role in building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. In my counseling sessions, not only do the identities of my client’s matter, but so does my own. I embrace my unique personality, which I'd describe as 'spunky,' and it informs the interventions I utilize, drawing from approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Many of my clients appreciate my therapeutic style, which often involves kindly challenging their automatic negative thoughts, behaviors, and relational patterns. However, it's important to note that this approach may not align with the gentler approach that some clients prefer. I prioritize open communication and collaboration with my clients to ensure that our counseling journey is tailored to their needs and preferences.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I'm deeply passionate about assisting individuals and partners in navigating their intimate lives and embracing their genuine sexual selves. I strive to create a welcoming environment where you can feel safe exploring your desires, overcoming challenges, and fostering a healthy relationship with your sexuality.
