Divorce can leave you feeling lost, unsure of who you are anymore, buried under endless decisions, and worried about what everyone else is thinking. I've been there, and I'm here to help you find your footing again.
About Sayra C Therapy
Meet Sayra Divorce Therapist in Miami Beach, Florida
Hi, I'm Sayra.
A Miami-based therapist offering in-person and virtual therapy across Florida, including South Florida cities like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and surrounding areas. I provide individual therapy for adults navigating anxiety, divorce, relationship challenges, burnout, postpartum depression, parenting stress, and major life transitions.
I’ve been in the mental health field since 2007, beginning my career in New York City managing community mental health programs after earning my MSW from Barry University. Early in my work, I learned that people are far more resilient than they realize and often much harder on themselves than they need to be.
My own life experiences, including motherhood, single parenting, and navigating postpartum depression, deepened my understanding of how overwhelming and identity-shifting life transitions can be.
Today, I specialize in helping women and adults in Florida work through divorce recovery, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, burnout, and life transitions with a supportive, direct, and nonjudgmental approach. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-life strategies with space for humor, because healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.
"I help people understand what is driving their pain, not just manage the symptoms of it. My goal is for you to feel equipped to be your own guide, long after our sessions end."

A Few Fun Facts About Me

Japanese food: always, forever, no debate
If I could eat one cuisine for the rest of my life, Japanese would win without hesitation. No contest, no regrets.

World traveler raising curious, culture-loving kids
Nothing brings me more joy than traveling the world with my kids and watching their eyes light up as they take in new cultures, people, and places. My goal? Raising humans who know the world is so much bigger than what's in their backyard.
-
Beach reads & live shows: comedy or music, I'm there
My ideal day off involves a good book and sand between my toes, or front row at a live comedy or music show. Either way, I'm fully present and loving every minute.
-
Solo recharge mode: poolside or hot tub, drink in hand
When my kids are with their dad, you can probably find me exactly where I want to be, floating in the pool or soaking in the hot tub, drink in hand, completely unbothered. Recharging looks good on me.

Cute top + jeans loyalist: it's a whole vibe
It's my uniform and I own it. Effortless, comfortable, and put-together, a cute top and jeans will always be my go-to. Dresses? Not really my thing, and I'm perfectly at peace with that.
-
Quality over quantity: in friendships and everything else
I keep my circle small and meaningful. A few deep, real connections will always matter more to me than a packed social calendar.
