Therapists in Florida

Hello, my name is Jorge, and I'm here to support you on your journey to a healthier and more fulfilling life. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Addiction Professional, with 60 years of life experiences I bring a unique and valuable perspective to therapy. I have gained a deep understanding of the evidence-based practices that can help you address issues with substance use addiction as well as behavioral addictions including compulsive Internet use, gambling, and compulsive sexual behavior. Addressing the underlying causes of addiction is of equal importance and often involves trauma-focused therapy and Psychotherapy to manage the anxiety and depression that frequently are part of the problem. By tailoring a comprehensive approach to addiction therapy, we will address the unique needs of each individual to produce the best possible results.

In my 13 years of experience, I have worked with individuals who are feeling emotionally stuck due to sadness, irritability, relationship issues, anger, financial loss, unresolved trauma, loss of a loved one and/or anxiety.

I will provide you with treatment focused on using evidence-based practices such as Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Based Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy. I will engage you in creating a treatment plan that works for you! I will assist you in identifying your interest of focus (personal issues), empower you to process and reach your goals as you achieve emotional stability in therapy.

Ready to spill? My name is Nancy Muricken - neuroaffirming therapist (ADHD fam I see you), chai enthusiast, and your future emotional support human (if you want me to be). I offer individual therapy grounded in clinical insight, infused with millennial energy, and flavored with a touch of South Indian spice. Being raised in the diverse neighborhoods of Queens, NY (yes, just like your friendly neighborhood Spiderman) gave me a deep cultural competence that now enrich my therapeutic approach. As someone living with progressive vision loss since I was a child, I know what it feels like when life starts to unravel.

Whether you're untangling your identity, spiraling at 3 a.m., or trying to doom-scroll your way out of an existential crisis, I got you. We’ll explore it all together. My approach blends several therapeutic styles: *Psychodynamic Therapy – to uncover how childhood and family dynamics still show up today (yep, we’re going there) *CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) – to help reframe those “I’m not enough” thoughts *Mindfulness – because sometimes we just need to breathe and not dissociate *Culturally Sensitive, Trauma-Informed Care – to support deep insight and healing Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and real. We’ll laugh, cry, unpack, and grow (sometimes all in one session) You deserve a space where you don’t have to over-explain yourself, mask your emotions, or code-switch your pain.I offer that space and I bring my full, authentic self into it, so you can too. If you're ready to start healing, reclaim your story, or just want to vibe-check a therapist who gets it, book a consult or reach out. And yes, we can absolutely spill the chai together. :)
