Ernesto Felipe

Walking into a first session with Ernesto Felipe, clients often find that what they expected to be an evaluation quickly becomes a conversation — one where they feel heard rather than assessed. Felipe is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Coral Gables, Florida, who holds a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Miami and a Master’s of Science in Biology from Moscow State University in Russia. He is also a National Board Certified Counselor and a Certified Practitioner of Rapid Resolution Therapy for Trauma.

He works with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, phobias, panic, addiction, and the tensions that build inside families and relationships. Couples come to him with communication that has broken down; individuals arrive carrying anger they can no longer manage alone. For many clients, those pressures now follow them home in their pockets — the late-night doomscrolling that sharpens worry, the text thread that keeps a conflict alive well past midnight.

Felipe leads groups focused on anger management, conflict resolution, marriage counseling, and parenting, and he applies EMDR alongside Rapid Resolution Therapy in his trauma work. Sessions are available in English, Spanish, and Russian, and he offers online appointments.
