Meet Logan Sosa | License Marriage and Family Therapist & Qualified Supervisor

We had the good fortune of connecting with Logan Sosa and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Logan, have there been any changes in how you think about work-life balance?
My work–life balance has definitely evolved over time. Earlier in my career, I thought balance meant giving 100% to everything at once, which only left me exhausted and stretched too thin (basically burnout). Over the years, I’ve realized balance isn’t about doing it all equally, it’s about recognizing the season I’m in, setting priorities, and giving myself permission to shift when I need to.

Becoming a parent changed that perspective even more. It added a whole new layer of responsibility, but also a sense of clarity about what really matters. I try to be intentional with boundaries, when I’m working, I’m fully engaged, and when I’m home, I want to be present with my son.

Supervising interns has also shifted how I view balance. I’ve become more aware of modeling what healthy boundaries look like, not just talking about them. It’s made me reflect on my own practices, because if I’m encouraging them to take care of themselves, I have to hold myself accountable to do the same.

If I’m being honest, though, I’m still figuring it out. Some weeks feel aligned, other weeks it’s survival mode. What I’ve learned is that balance isn’t a final destination, it’s something I constantly adjust as both my work and my son’s needs evolve.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
If I’m being real, my career didn’t start out the way I thought it would. I actually went into law school first because I always knew I wanted to fight for people, to be their voice, to stand in those hard spaces with them. But law school didn’t work out, and at the time it felt like a huge failure. Looking back, it was really a redirection. That door closing is what pushed me toward therapy, and it turns out this is exactly where I was meant to be.

Now, I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist, site supervisor at the Trauma Resolution Center, and the founder of my private practice, Healing Cypress Counseling Collaborative. In private practice, I get to create the kind of space I always wished existed, collaborative, trauma-informed, and human. I’m proud of the work I do there because it’s not just about helping people get through tough times, it’s about helping them reclaim their peace and sense of self.

It hasn’t been easy. I’ve had to figure things out as a single mom, navigate financial setbacks, and grow into leadership roles while still working on myself. But what I’ve learned is that every setback had a lesson, patience, boundaries, trusting timing, and learning to show myself the same compassion I ask my clients to practice.

What I want people to know about me and my work is that it’s real. It’s not perfect, it’s not polished, but it’s grounded in truth and a belief that healing is always possible. My story is proof that even when things don’t go the way you planned, they can still turn out exactly how they were supposed to.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend came to visit Miami for a week, I’d want them to see the version of the city that feels like home to me. local spots, good food, a mix of culture and nature, and none of the overly touristy stuff. We’d probably start in Coral Gables, walking Miracle Mile, grabbing a Cafecito, and having dinner at one of my favorites like Eating House. Breakfast would definitely happen at La Carreta or Sergio’s, because you can’t visit Miami without eating croquetas.

I’d take them out to Black Point Marina to kayak, hang by the water, and end the day with seafood while the sun sets. We’d also make a trip down to Key Largo for a change of scenery and stop at Gilbert’s for drinks and seafood. To show off Miami’s natural side, we could do an airboat ride through the Everglades. A taco run in Homestead would definitely be on the list too, with a stop at a fruit stand for milkshakes. To close out the trip, we’d head to one of my favorite spots the key Biscayne bridge and beach.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d like to dedicate my shoutout to Yohana Casali, Executive Director at the Trauma Resolution Center (ycasali@thetrcenter.org). Her leadership and mentorship have had such a big impact on me, both professionally and personally. She’s someone who not only believes in the mission of the work we do, but also genuinely invests in the people carrying it out. Yohana has modeled what it means to lead with both strength and compassion, and she’s given me opportunities to grow in ways I couldn’t have imagined when I first started.
