“I AM, two of the most powerful words. For what you put after them shapes your reality.” May these words give you inspiration, healing and wisdom.

With in-person sessions in South Florida and virtual therapy statewide, we’re here to help your child take back control.

If you’re considering therapy for the first time, it’s normal to feel unsure about what to expect. At Genesis Counseling, we want your first session to feel like a step toward healing, not a source of stress. Your initial appointment, known as an intake session, is a collaborative conversation where your therapist learns about your life, challenges, and goals. This session sets the foundation for your care and helps build a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Whether you're coming in for individual therapy, child therapy, or family support, our experienced team across South Florida—and virtually across the state—is here to walk with you, every step of the way.
