Hello, my name is Luiza and I am the owner/therapist of FIT MIND counseling services. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in FL and a Licensed Professional Counselor in DC, GA & VA. FIT MIND counseling services enjoys empowering clients finding a more meaningful way to live their lives and assisting them learning about the importance of self-love. Helping clients to focus on themselves and on their self-care is a precious thing. When they learn to embrace and unconditionally love for being themselves, they become stronger in the face of negativity and more able to hold onto positive thoughts when faced with challenges. Mental illness is as real as any physical illness. We talk normally about cancer and diabetes, although the same should apply to mental illness. Emotional and mental health are just as important as the physical health of a human being. The emotional trauma that a brain endures in various of the human life cycle can be damaging and in the long run, just as detrimental as a psychical illness. People donate their organs, but they cannot donate their brains. Some people live with human-made hearts, but there is no such thing as human-made brains. I believe that our brain is the most important organ in our human body, so why don’t we start taking good care of it? Therapy is not only for people with mental illness. Therapy is for everyone. We all have faced or currently face some hardships in life. Talking to a therapist can help you deeply in improving your mental health, decrease your stress and live with more joy and intention!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience treating a range of disorders. My psychodynamic background lends itself to the exploration of unconscious conflicts and the impact of early experience. However, I understand that when people seek treatment, they are often experiencing distress. Hence, I understand the importance of focusing on the presenting problem. I believe the therapeutic process is a creative endeavor between therapist and client. As such, I strive to create a warm and safe environment. Empathy and understanding are significant facilitators of therapeutic change. I draw on psychodynamic and existential theory and incorporate elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy as well as mindfulness approaches. Thus, I am flexible in my process and often employ a systematic, eclectic approach to therapy.

I have 12 years of clinical experience working with teens, young adults and adults. In addition to working with common mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, etc., I have broader experience working with children of divorce, trauma, grief and LGBTQAI+ populations. We all have a fundamental need to feel known, cared for and understood and I am honored to have a career in which I can be that person for others. The therapeutic process is hard to explain and better to be experienced. As we feel known, cared for and understood by not only another but with time, ourselves, it’s a special kind of magic that can bring about deep healing and shifts. A little bit about me; I was born and raised in Miami, Florida and have also lived in Boston, Massachusetts and Boulder, Colorado. I am now back home, married and a mother of two wild and wonderful boys. Some things that I love are music, nature, hidden gems, good food, deep talks, movies, a good workout, and adventure!

I’m a trauma-informed therapist and yoga teacher who supports women through anxiety, life transitions, motherhood, and relationship challenges. I blend somatic work, nervous system education, and practical tools to help you reconnect with yourself and create lasting, meaningful change. My approach is holistic, warm, and collaborative—I integrate evidence-based practices with mind-body work to guide you toward feeling more grounded, empowered, and authentically you. Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s tailored to your needs, your story, and your goals.

Hi! I'm Eileen. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues? Since the onslaught of Covid 19, many people have presented with anxiety and depression who have never had symptoms in the past. We have experienced a time of uncertainty unknown to us. I empower clients of all ages to manage anxiety and depression, as well as provide tools to help. Some of my modalities include Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Psychotherapy. An integrated approach can be used as well. I have been described as a good, caring, sensitive, and energetic listener. I love being a therapist and enjoy seeing my clients grow over time due to putting in the necessary work. I have a background in Strategic Intervention Life Coaching and integrate the methods I used successfully in my Life Coaching business into my therapy sessions with my clients in helping them to clarify their goals, identify obstacles holding them back, and then along with the client, help them come up with strategies for overcoming the obstacles. I look forward to the opportunity to work with YOU!!

I am a Marriage Family Therapist, and I have been in practice for over 25 years. I am a firm believer that the system in which an individual was raised has an impact on how an individual's personal relationships, behavior pattern, and life choices are interconnected with the issue they face in their life. The good news is that we all have the ability of changing the patterns we want to change in our lives. It is your own personal story, and you decide on the ending.
