Meet Roxana

Roxana Tefel, M.S., LMHC-QS

Founder and Director of Better Life Therapy, LLC

Qualified Supervisor for RMHCI

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Miami, FL. I incorporate a holistic approach when working with clients by taking into account their lived experience. I am an alumnus of Florida International University and obtained a Master of Science in Psychology. Additionally, I am a fluent Spanish speaking Latina and grew up in Miami, FL. I know that the Miami culture includes Spanglish and that is always an option in therapy.

As a counselor, my passion and purpose is to work with teens and adults in search of self-development. I believe that one of the most important traits for people to successfully face challenges in life is self-compassion. My experience as a counselor includes working with clients who want to develop a strong self-confidence and improve their relationships.

Furthermore, I specialize in working with clients ready to attend to their struggles with anxiety, gender identity, relationships, and depression. I am a trained Transgender Care Therapist. With extensive training, I help transgender and nonbinary individuals meet their mental and physical needs. Also as a transgender care therapist, I help families seeking support for their transgender and nonbinary loved ones. My role as a transgender care therapist is to help people better understand how to do just that. Through gender therapy, this can happen!

My Counseling Services

Online Therapy in Florida

I provide my clients with online therapy. By doing so, it offers the ability to work with me from wherever you may live in the state of Florida! As an online therapist, I have experience navigating the world of online therapy while working with clients dealing with life struggles.

Anxiety counseling

Many of us are dealing with symptoms of anxiety. And, this can be really difficult to navigate. Luckily, I can help! As an anxiety therapist, I have years of experience providing anxiety counseling to adults and teens. Through our work together in anxiety therapy, my clients gain a better control over their anxiety symptoms.

Gender Therapy

As a gender therapist, I can help you navigate the situations you come across. From my experience as a gender therapist, I know this can be different for everyone. By taking the time to get to know you, your situations, and your goals, I can provide you with the support you need in gender therapy to navigate these obstacles.

Teen Counseling

Being a teen is tough. It’s even more complicated with everything that’s happened this year. As a teen counselor, I can help. Through teen counseling, I can give your teens some support and guidance that can help them navigate their world. Or, I can serve as a sounding board. Whatever is the most beneficial for your teen!

Relationship Counseling for One

If you struggle with communication, setting boundaries, and having reciprocated relationships, relationship counseling for one is a great fit. As a counselor, I can help you develop the skills you need to reach the goals you have for yourself.

Parenting Counseling

Yes, there are thousands of parenting books and parenting advice columns. But are the same resources needed for every situation? Nope. As a parent counselor, I can help. Through parent counseling, we talk through the situations you’re facing with your kiddo and decide what decisions make the most sense.

Depression Counseling

Let’s be honest, you’re not just sad. Living with depression symptoms is much more than that. As a depression counselor, I get it. And, I can help with depression counseling. During our work together, I’ll help you create goals and learn skills to manage your depression. It seems bleak right now, but there is hope.
