Trauma-Informed Mental Health Therapy in Miami
I am Sandra Beggs, a licensed mental health professional with over 30 years of experience in trauma recovery and psychotherapy. My practice focuses on helping individuals, couples, and families overcome anxiety, depression, PTSD, and complex trauma through evidence-based methods like EMDR, CBT, and somatic therapies. I integrate expressive arts therapies, including dance/movement and art therapy, to address emotional and psychological challenges beyond traditional talk therapy. With licenses in Florida, Alberta, and British Columbia, I serve clients navigating life transitions, grief, parenting challenges, and interpersonal trauma. My approach emphasizes healing through expertise, patience, and genuine care, empowering clients to reclaim their lives and build resilience.I maintain active involvement in professional training and have presented at national conferences on dance therapy and expressive arts. My career began in crisis intervention with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1991, evolving to include innovative programs for survivors of domestic violence and trauma. I hold advanced certifications in EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Interpersonal Neurobiology, ensuring my practice remains at the forefront of therapeutic advancements. Clients consistently report improved self-confidence, emotional peace, and renewed hope after completing therapy. My work at Miami Counseling and Resource Center reflects a lifelong commitment to compassionate, client-centered care.
