Therapists in Florida

One of my biggest passions in life is helping women, overcome past hurts, failures, ineffective communication, and self-defeating behaviors, which limits their forward momentum. I also work with young adults and men, as they grapple with challenges such as: communication difficulties, boundary issues and life transitions. I help my clients explore childhood experiences, defense mechanisms, and survival tools that once worked, but as adults, they are disruptive to their adult self and relationships. I am here to listen and help you find ways to walk in your authentic self, no longer bound by guilt and shame. I strive to create a compassionate atmosphere, judgment free and safe space, as you work through depression, anxiety, disappointment, low self-esteem, co-dependency and other issues that can be debilitating. I empower, encourage, listen and help you identify your values. I appreciate this new reality where mental health is no longer being swept under the carpet, instead people are coming out to tell their stories and are seeking assistance to deal with their hurts and pain. If you are ready to work with someone as you tackle these issues and you are ready to exhale and be able to say, "At Last I'm Free" take your first step, pick up the phone and schedule a consultation with me. You don't have to walk this healing journey alone, just be ready to do the work!

Hi! I’m a Licensed Therapist based in Florida. I earned my undergraduate degree from Rutgers University and my graduate degree from Florida Atlantic University, and I’ve been in the field for 12 years. I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation. My goal is to assist clients in achieving significant relief as efficiently as possible through a tailored, integrative approach to therapy.

Hello, I am Maria Milana, a skilled LMHC in Florida who uses integrative and cognitive behavioral approaches tailored to my client's needs. I am collaborative with individuals and couples on their mental health journey toward personal growth through matters of anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and other diverse mental health difficulties. I understand the importance of creating a safe counseling environment and building a trusting, non-judgmental atmosphere to help my clients achieve positive mental health outcomes.

My professional path began in high-pressure corporate environments where performance, long hours, and responsibility were expected. After more than two decades in complex global organizations — earning an MBA from George Washington University and completing postgraduate work at Emory University — I saw firsthand how chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, and unresolved trauma can destabilize both professional and personal life. For the past decade, I have provided psychotherapy in psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment programs, Drug Court, and private practice settings. A significant portion of my training involved delivering intensive trauma therapy within a court-supervised program, working with individuals experiencing PTSD, substance use disorders, anger issues, and significant life disruption. That environment required structure, mutual accountability, and advanced emotional regulation skills. It also required the disciplined application of evidence-based trauma treatments while maintaining psychological safety in high-intensity situations. I specialize in helping adults work through trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, and relationship strain — particularly when the life they have built no longer feels sustainable or aligned with who they want to become.

**I reserve a limited number of appointments at a reduced rate for college students and individuals with limited financial means. Contact me for information.** It’s been a privilege to work for more than twenty years as a therapist and clinical social worker. I’ve had the honor of walking alongside my clients and bearing witness to some of their most life-changing and difficult experiences as they navigate changes in mental health, sense of self, relationships, and quality of life. About Me: I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and board certified diplomate (BCD) in clinical social work. I have masters (MSW) and doctorate (Ph.D.) degrees in social work and am a qualified clinical supervisor. I began my career as a therapist in 2005 at a psychiatric hospital working with individuals experiencing severe mental illness. Since then I have provided individual, group, and family therapy to adults and adolescents in community health centers, IOP/PHP programs, and private practices. I also supervised medical and doctoral students in pro-bono clinics and worked on contracts with Corrections and Healthy Start. I currently own and operate Atlantic Psychotherapy, LLC. Between 2015 – 2025 I also worked as an assistant professor, instructor, and researcher at Western Carolina University, University of South Florida, and Florida Atlantic University. I conducted research independently and in collaborations with other medical professionals. My research explored treatment interventions and the lived experiences of bipolar disorder, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder. My research has been published (article/journal links in my website) and presented at national and international conferences. Specialties: • Bipolar Disorder • Depression • Anxiety • Obsessive-compulsive and panic disorders • Personality disorders • Stress management • Stigma and self-stigma • Self-Injury/self-defeating behaviors • Relationship and family stressors • Significant life changes and transitions • Self-esteem My website: www.atlanticpsychotherapyllc.com Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/209076

Many of the people I see are living with anxiety, depression, grief or loss, low self-worth, emotional burnout, or a quiet sense that they’ve lost touch with themselves somewhere along the way. If you’re used to being the strong one, the responsible one, the one who keeps going no matter what, therapy here is a place where you don’t have to do that. With me, you don’t have to perform. You don’t have to explain everything perfectly. You don’t have to pretend you’re okay. You can cry. You can sit in silence. You can struggle to find words. You can just be. There is no judgment here, only honesty, patience, and room to breathe.

I have experience supporting individuals who are navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life adjustments, school-related stress, self-esteem challenges, and the daily pressures that can feel overwhelming at times. I believe therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, validated, and understood. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered. I incorporate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create lasting change. I also take a strengths-based approach, focusing on what is already within you and helping you reconnect with your inner resilience. My goal with every client is to help you tap into your inner potential, gain clarity and confidence, and take meaningful steps toward becoming the best version of yourself. Together, we will work toward creating measurable progress and a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned.
