CP Handler

CP Handler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in Miami Beach, FL. CP specializes in treating aftereffects of trauma, which includes not only traumatic events  but also intergenerational trauma, racial injustice, spiritual abuse, and unresolved childhood needs. Her clients come to therapy because they feel like they can’t remain present in their lives, instead feeling consumed by painful memories or uncontrollable emotions. This can lead to mental health conditions and conflicts with loved ones. CP particularly enjoys helping parents and their children grow their relationships.

CP uses a variety of person-centered therapy approaches. She takes a holistic approach to treating her clients, encouraging the client to pay attention to their physical, social, spiritual, and emotional needs. She often brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help clients stay grounded and to reconnect with their bodies. One of her most commonly used modalities is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which helps clients move forward past distressing memories. She also draws from Emotional Freedom Technique and Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

CP earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Long Island University. She views the client as the expert on their own healing journey and strives to create a safe, warm atmosphere in each session. She teaches clients how to tap into their resilience to cope with their traumas.
