Marriage & Family Therapy Practice – The Heard Counseling
Miami, Florida is home to The Heard Counseling, a boutique private practice serving women between the ages of 16 and 45 through in-person appointments in the Miami and Coral Gables area and via telehealth for Florida residents statewide. The practice is led by April Brown, LMFT, and Dr. Gabriella Bruhl, Ph.D., LMFT, both holding licensure as Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists. Their shared clinical emphasis centers on women’s mental health across significant life transitions, with a philosophy built around listening deeply and working collaboratively with clients.
Primary specialty areas at The Heard Counseling include postpartum anxiety and depression, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, maternal identity shifts, and the relational changes that accompany early parenthood. Young women and teenagers are also served, with work addressing anxiety, overwhelm, and the disconnection that can accompany periods of adolescent or young adult development. The clinical approach described on the site is warm, collaborative, and practical, combining attentive listening with concrete strategy-building to help clients navigate demanding life periods.
Couples therapy is offered alongside individual sessions. Relationship support at the practice pays particular attention to the strains that infertility, miscarriage, and the transition to becoming a parent can introduce into partnerships. The practice name reflects its underlying ethos: clients should feel genuinely heard and understood, especially during periods involving shifting identity, role expectations, and relational responsibilities.
Session formats include in-person appointments for the greater Miami area and telehealth access for Florida residents. A free 20-minute introductory consultation is available to prospective clients before a first paid session is scheduled. Appointments are booked through the practice’s online scheduling platform. Contact is available at 305-998-2665 or by email at april@theheardcounseling.com. Detailed information on session rates and scheduling availability is provided directly on the practice website for clients considering an initial inquiry or consultation request. The practice serves women across Florida through its telehealth option, with in-person access concentrated in the Miami metro area.
