My name is Sarah Maria Filgueiras (she/they), but you can call me "Figs," just like the fruit. I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and sex therapist (CST) in Florida. Proudly rooted in Miami as a "305 till I die" native and a Latinx therapist, I specialize in offering Telehealth mental health counseling and sex therapy. I'm deeply passionate about assisting individuals and partners in navigating their intimate lives and embracing their genuine sexual selves. I strive to create a welcoming environment where you can feel safe exploring your desires, overcoming challenges, and fostering a healthy relationship with your sexuality.
Beyond my practice, I actively engage in promoting sexual education and breaking stigmas surrounding conversations about sex and relationships. I conduct workshops, speak on the radio, and participate in community outreach programs to advocate for healthy attitudes toward sexuality.
I take a holistic approach to therapy, drawing from evidence-based practices like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Feminist Therapy. These therapeutic methods have proven incredibly effective in assisting my clients on their unique journeys toward healing and self-discovery.
Currently, I offer teletherapy sessions within the jurisdiction of Florida and gladly accept insurance. My practice operates from Monday to Thursday, offering flexible hours to accommodate your schedule. Sessions begin at 12 pm (EST) and extend up to 8 pm (EST), ensuring convenience and accessibility for our work together.
