Miami Teen Counseling is proudly owned and operated by Miguel Brown. Miami Teen Counseling expertly teams a safe sanctuary with professional counseling services for teenagers and their and families throughout Coconut Grove and the greater Miami area. Our mission is to help teens and their families recognize and then cope with situations that have developed beyond normal “growing pains” and into bigger and more serious concerns. We know that the teenage years can be traumatic, hectic, and uncertain; and, that this distress can leave a family feeling lost, frustrated, and helpless. With all of this emotion and stress, situations can quickly escalate and become overwhelming!

Miami Teen Counseling is here to help enhance confidence, communication skills, self-worth, family cohesiveness, and academic achievement. We will help teens and their families gain the skills needed to maintain healthy boundaries, improve stress tolerance, and enhance decision-making skills. Miami Teen Counseling offers a safe space for teens to rediscover family balance and to develop the skills needed to grow into confident and healthy adults.

At Miami Teen Counseling, we believe that therapy should be so much more than symptom reduction; it should give you the tools to move forward better than you were.

There is no “magic button” or quick fix in counseling. It is not like having an infection where you can go to the doctor and he or she does what they can to fix it. The mission of counseling is much more expansive and interactive. It takes some effort but it does work! Counseling not only addresses and eliminates symptoms but it also heals and grows the entire person. It increases self-awareness, self-knowledge, and self-acceptance. With counseling, you develop the skills needed to better deal with life’s hardships, traumas, and crushing disappointments. In addition, you become better able to love, work, and play. Your sense of personal freedom and understanding expands and becomes more realistic and adaptive. These benefits increase even after counseling is over and last for the rest of your life. Counseling not only heals the person… it grows the person.

“For teenagers learning who they are and what they want to become counseling can be an extremely enriching personal experience.” ~ Miguel Brown
