Bilingual care, rooted in our community
Serving Miami families with compassionate, culturally sensitive mental health care since 2006.
Care that meets you where you are
For nearly two decades, Coral Community Mental Health Center has been a trusted home for mental health care in Miami's Little Havana. We're a fully bilingual center — English and Spanish — serving children, teens, and adults across every stage of life.
We know that reaching out for help can feel like a big step. That's why we work hard to make Coral feel welcoming, never intimidating: a place where you're met with warmth, respect, and care in the language you live in.
"Our mission is to empower the emotional and psychological wellbeing of our community members of all ages through compassionate and professional behavioral healthcare services."
