Bilingual Therapist for Children, Teens & Families in Florida
Denisse Suarez is a bilingual therapist who supports children, teens, and families navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, behavior challenges, and family stress. She works closely with parents and caregivers who feel unsure how to help their child regulate big emotions, communicate more effectively, or feel confident again at home and school.
Denisse has extensive experience working with children and adolescents in home-, school-, and community-based settings, supporting concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and behavioral challenges. She also provides parenting support and psychoeducation, helping caregivers better understand behavior, reduce conflict, and strengthen family relationships in practical, compassionate ways.
Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. Denisse integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and play-based interventions to help clients build emotional awareness, coping skills, and healthier patterns of communication. Sessions are tailored to each child or family’s developmental needs, with a focus on creating safety, trust, and meaningful progress.
Fluent in both English and Spanish, Denisse is especially passionate about supporting immigrant and first-generation families. She understands the unique stressors that come with navigating cultural expectations, identity, and generational differences, and offers culturally attuned therapy that honors each family’s values and lived experience.
Denisse is dedicated to creating a supportive environment where children, teens, and families feel understood, empowered, and equipped with tools that make daily life feel more manageable and connected.
