Uptown Psychology
Therapy & Child Psychology for Pinecrest & Palmetto Bay
High-caliber child and family psychology for families along the Pinecrest–Palmetto Bay corridor — in Coral Gables or virtually.
The Benefits
Care for the
Pinecrest Corridor
Worth the
short drive
Families along US-1 reach our Coral Gables office in about 15–20 minutes — a small trip for specialty-level care.
Virtual when
life is full
Between practices, tutoring, and traffic, virtual sessions keep therapy consistent — and they work.
Testing families
trust
Gifted, psychoeducational, ADHD, and autism evaluations with clear reports — from a Florida-licensed school psychologist.
The Stakes
High Expectations, Real Pressure
Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay kids grow up around high standards — competitive schools, packed schedules, college talk by ninth grade. Most thrive; some quietly don’t. Anxiety, perfectionism, and attention struggles in high-achieving communities are easy to miss because the grades often hold — until they don’t. Early support keeps capable kids from paying for success with their well-being.

Questions from Pinecrest & Palmetto Bay
How far is the office from Pinecrest?
We’re at 3081 Salzedo St in central Coral Gables — usually about 15–20 minutes from Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay depending on traffic. Virtual sessions remove the drive entirely.
Do you do gifted testing for school program eligibility?
Yes — individually administered cognitive testing with full documentation for eligibility review and admissions. Timeline and process are covered on the intake call.
Can my teen do sessions virtually during the school year?
Yes, and many do. Virtual teen therapy is effective and dramatically easier to keep consistent during busy semesters.
Do you accept insurance?
No, we do not accept insurance. You may contact your insurance provider regarding potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Do you coordinate with private school counselors?
With your consent, yes. We regularly communicate with school counselors and learning support teams, and our reports are written so schools can act on them.
