Sara Issa is a Marriage and Family Therapist providing therapeutic services to individuals and couples in Coral Gables, FL. Sara specializes in helping clients move past their fears and take the next step towards their goals. Many of Sara’s clients find themselves feeling more and more hopeless, overwhelmed with stress in the face of change. She works with these clients to develop an awareness and understanding of this fear reaction, empowering them to grow towards wellness. She also works with clients who suffer from negative core beliefs that contribute to anxiety, low self-esteem, attachment styles and communication.

In session with Sara, clients learn more about their thoughts and behaviors as well as the role that their thoughts and behaviors play with their emotions. Sara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy and Gotten Couples Therapy to teach clients about harmful thought patterns and how to build better coping and communication skills to avoid them. She is a strengths-based therapist, which means that she believes wholeheartedly that each client has unique strengths that they bring into session. Together, Sara and her clients leverage these strengths to find purpose by transforming fear into goals that will encourage growth.
