Meet Dr. Liliana Uribe, LCSW | Wellness Therapist

Risks have always been something that I have never been comfortable with. I tend to be more on the conservative side when deciding on big risks, especially financially.

After months of feeling desperate for a change while working as an analyst for children on the spectrum, I decided to take a leap of faith in myself. I quickly realized my fear of risks was associated with my confidence in my capabilities and capacity to create the vision I had for my career.

I had to believe in myself to push down the fear of change and failure. Fear is what often keeps people from doing what they believe would be best for them, especially if it involves risks. People often make decisions based on fear rather than logic. This is something I try to help my clients understand and to change how they are perceiving the fear- I help them view fear as more of a protection to keep them from making those very mistakes they fear.

I launched my private practice in January 2020. While COVID has been a continuous nightmare, I opened my practice during a time of uncertainty and served a crucial part of the ever growing mental health needs of our country.

In 2021, I partnered with NeoMedicine Institute in providing ketamine assisted psycho therapy. I learned about ketamine infusions for mental health when my husband’s mental health status rapidly declined post COVID-a reality of many of my clients. After seeing a transformation in his mental thought processes, I quickly realized this was going to change the lives of so many who have been struggling with mental health challenges and who have been resistant to traditional pharmaceutical interventions.

I began to research and seek trainings on my own while at the same time I meet an anesthesiologist who had also been researching the benefits of such therapy.

Today, I currently provide psychotherapy services alongside 5 mastered level clinicians in addition to servicing clients who are seeking ketamine infusion assisted therapy.

Most of the challenges we see in practice are related to stress, work-life balance challenges, anxiety, depression, and self image/esteem challenges.

My clients often tell me that when in session they feel like I am a friend but with a professional tone. My clients very early on report they feel comfortable and trusting, which is key in the healing process. I feel this is what sets me apart- I truly feel the pain and struggle of my clients and have a human desire to see them grow and evolve!

Living in Miami, there are endless things to do- but make sure your pockets are deep!
