Released: June 25, 2026 Guest: Carlos Escanilla, LMHC Episode Summary Welcome to another episode of our Getting to Know Us series, where we're introducing the therapists and coaches who make up the Coral Gables Counseling Center team. In honor of Men's Health Month, we're continuing our spotlight on the men in our practice and the unique experiences and perspectives they bring to supporting clients on their mental health journeys. In this episode, we sit down with Carlos Escanilla, LMHC, to learn more about what inspired him to become a therapist, his approach to working with clients, and his passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges with greater self-awareness and resilience. Beyond the therapy room, Carlos is also a lifelong musician, and he shares how music has shaped his perspective on creativity, connection, and emotional expression - qualities that naturally influence the way he works with clients. During our conversation, Carlos discusses: His journey into the mental health profession and what led him to become a therapist How his passion for music has influenced his personal and professional life His approach to building trust and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients The importance of authenticity, emotional awareness, and meaningful connection How therapy can support individuals through anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and personal growth What he hopes every client experiences through the therapeutic process Whether you're considering therapy for the first time, looking for the right therapist, or simply interested in getting to know the people behind our practice, this conversation offers an inside look at Carlos's compassionate and thoughtful approach to helping others - and how both therapy and music have shaped his journey. At Coral Gables Counseling Center, we believe that finding the right therapist begins with connection.
