Danica Bokal
Hello! My name is Danica Bokal and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida with over 8 years experience in the mental health field. I have worked with individuals and families with many different needs and concerns. I have have specific experience working with individuals going through a life transition. This includes alcohol, drug, and other addictive behaviors; depression; anxiety; career changes; coping skills; identity; and trauma. I also am specifically sensitive to LGBTQ+, women's empowerment, and men's mental health specific needs. I approach any of my clients as individuals and seek to learn what they are going through and use evidenced-based interventions towards their goals. My approach is specifically beneficial on this platform as I use a combination of psycho-education and psycho-therapy that my clients can do on their own and together throughout the week. I offer an authentic, empathetic, and warm approach that is also active and directive. As a therapist, my goal is to encourage you towards a better you. I offer a safe, inviting, non-judgmental environment to help you in your personal growth. You have the resources inside of you and I will help show you how to use them. If you are committed to creating a more fulfilling and meaningful life, I look forward to working with you.

My practice is based on the understanding that the degree of enjoyment and happiness in each of our lives are closely tied to the quality of our relationship with our self and our relationships with others. If you are experiencing a lack of inner peace, of enjoyment and happiness in your life and relationship (s), or if this has been a pattern in your past relationships that you desire to resolve, I encourage you to contact me. I am a seasoned therapist with over 25 years of experience, that has ranged from helping persons living in the inner-city of Chicago as they learned to recover from an addiction and abuse/ trauma- related experiences, to helping families displaced from Hurricane Katrina, as well as working with men and their families, teaching and coaching the development of improved self-image, interpersonal, and fathering skills to heal and re- build their relationships affected by sexual, emotional, physical abuse, and neglect in their family histories. Of course, over the years I have had many persons with less severe issues and focus on here-and-now concerns that are affecting their quality of life. Whether you choose short-term or longer-term counseling I have expertise in multiple therapy modalities but always view each person with a multi-cultural lens so I may understand each person in the contexts of which they experience their own unique life. I offer you a warm, non- judgmental, honest atmosphere that invites you to explore your relationship strengths and build new skills that can enhance your current, as well as future relationships where you can experience the joy, warmth, and happiness you seek and deserve.

Linda Milewski
Hello, I’m Linda Milewski, a Licensed Clinical Therapist and addiction specialist of 20 years. I hold a Masters in Social Work (MSW) and am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Non Violent Communication (NVC), Trauma-informed Care and Awareness, Tibetan Sound Bowl Healing, as well as Mindfulness practices. Additionally, I hold international certifications in addiction, Employee Assistance Program, and Sober Coaching. After nearly two decades in inpatient psychiatric units, recovery facilities, mental health agencies, and wellness centers, I have helped stabilize many clients suffering from crisis, addiction, trauma, mood disorders and stress responses to various types of trauma. I developed a keen interest in various types of symptoms that create behaviors most would consider detrimental to their lives. As I travelled extensively internationally, delving deeper into the causes of suffering, I began to understand more deeply what (in the Buddhist context), “suffering” means and how we can heal from it. I began looking at the client as a “whole organism” by exploring how the body and its nervous system becomes severely compromised over time stemming from chronic stress. I have learned that when the body is relaxed through certain techniques, there is no room for stress or trauma to be held. Through regulating the body and nervous system, we create a safe and calm therapeutic space from which to find creative and authentic solutions to our daily challenges. I believe that once the body feels safe, we are supported to make deep and life-changing shifts. Non Violent Communication (NVC) is important to me. This modality supports us to speak authentically from the heart, tying in beautifully with mindfulness practices, trauma awareness and the regulation of emotions through somatic work. This method also supports us to set boundaries in ways that are compassionate for ourselves and others, enabling us to foster deeper, more authentic connection. My approach with each client is to provide support, accountability, and structure that honors and helps clients to step out into post traumatic growth. Through use of a range of techniques, tools and therapeutic approaches, I see transformations in my clients as they experience a strong feeling of overall safety and well being. I look forward to hearing from you and going on this journey of healing and self discovery with you!
