Vito Pelikan

Welcome! I'm Vito Pelikan, LMHC and FIU alumni. Have you ever felt like you can't quite articulate what you're feeling or struggling with? Are you stuck in a difficult family or relationship dynamic? Do you struggle with expectations? Are you repeating unhealthy patterns in your life? Are you anticipating or currently going through a major life transition? Could you use an unbiased, confidential person to talk to? Forget what's going on in the world right now - we have a lot going on in our lives and in our relationships. I believe that I can help to untangle the mess and leave you with a deeper understanding of your self or your situation. I approach counseling the same as I do in life: take time to understand, empathize, and strengthen connections. I strongly believe in the ability to work challenging life events in honest conversation with a trained professional. My place as your therapist is to understand, guide, and educate but never to apply judgement, give advice, or approach with bias. So, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation with me to talk about how to meet your needs. If I can't help you, I will refer you to those who can. My approach to psychotherapy and counseling is strength-based it's core, rooted in humanistic, person-centered models, and is trauma-informed. I also draw from acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, compassion-focused therapy, and solution-focused therapy.
