Caron Helfner, PhD, LCSW, DCSW, MCAP
I received my BSSW from FIU and went on to complete my Masters Degree at Barry College. Since then, I have been working with teens and adults dealing with mental health and addiction. I went on to completing my doctorate in Social Work with a concentration on Family Therapy. I am an approved clinical supervisor and clinical fellow licensed by the state of Florida. I received my MCAP and became a Clinical Director. One of my favorite quotes to live by is “There is always hope, when you want to give up.”
When hurricane Andrew struck South Florida I worked in a mobile crisis for over a year, assisting displaced families and performing grief therapy. I have had success working with heroin addicts and the use of medication assisted treatments combined with individual therapy. My life is a journey helping others through individual and family therapy with mindfulness of the human spirit. I have successfully guided many clients to leading a joyful and balanced life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience in helping others work through the struggles of life. I like to think of myself as a life-untangler who can help you put the puzzle pieces back together and live a more satisfying life. I am passionate about providing a comfortable environment where you can be heard, feel safe, and stay motivated to conquer any obstacle that stands in your way of success. I approach therapy with a holistic approach considering all aspects of life when discussing remedies.
I am experienced helping those whose lives have been touched by the destruction of addiction and the struggles of mismanaged mental health. My specialties include addiction, mood disorders, struggles with self-esteem, establishing healthy relationships, managing medical difficulties, life transition issues, relapse prevention, anxiety, and depression.
