Maja Herciuk
With more than 20 years of experience in social work, including several years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, I provide evidence-based therapy for individuals navigating grief and loss, major life changes and transitions, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, stress, and other challenges that can make life feel overwhelming. I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults, and I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, respected, understood, and never judged.
Through ACT, I guide clients in developing greater self-awareness, emotional flexibility, and acceptance, while helping them reconnect with their personal values and the life they want to create.
First session
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. You might feel nervous or tense, and that is completely normal —therapy is a process that we’ll build together over time. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I’ll be here to support and guide you throughout the process. This is a supportive, collaborative space where you can simply be yourself. There's no pressure to have everything figured out or know exactly where to begin—we'll take it one step at a time, together.
Strengths
Life can change in ways we never expect. Sometimes we simply need someone to help us make sense of what we're feeling and find our footing again. My goal is to help you build your own self-help toolbox—a collection of practical skills, strategies, and insights you can use when life gets difficult. I want to help you recognize your strengths, understand your emotions, navigate challenges, and feel more confident handling whatever comes your way. Therapy isn't about having all the answers. It's about learning that you have more choices, strengths, and possibilities than you may realize. I believe in humanizing and normalizing the experiences that can leave us feeling stuck, discouraged, or overwhelmed. Struggling does not mean you are failing. Sometimes, it simply means you are going through something difficult. Most importantly, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can talk openly about the things that may be difficult to share with others. You matter. And asking for help is a strength.
Ideal clients
For individuals who seem to have it all together—but feel exhausted on the inside. I offer a warm, holistic approach to therapy for navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, grief, depression, trauma and life's transitions. Together, we'll help calm your nervous system, reconnect with your mind and body, and build practical tools that bring more balance, resilience, and ease into your everyday life. My goal is to help you create meaningful, lasting changes that extend beyond our sessions and into your everyday life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
The way we think affects how we feel, and how we feel influences what we do. Sometimes we get caught in patterns that leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck. CBT helps you understand those patterns. We'll look at where these patterns come from, how they show up in your daily life, and what you can do differently. While CBT is practical and goal-oriented, I also believe it's important to understand the bigger picture. That's why, when helpful, we'll explore past experiences and childhood relationships to gain deeper insight into the patterns that continue to affect you today.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
You don't have to get rid of difficult thoughts and feelings to start living the life you want.—it's about learning how to stop letting them control you. That's the heart of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT helps you notice your thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them. Together, we'll explore what matters most to you and find practical ways to move toward the life you want, even when things feel difficult. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, or a major life change, ACT gives you practical tools to become more present, build resilience, and make choices that align with your values. The goal is to help you create a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and true to who you are.
