I’m Daniela Marin, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of experience. I’m passionate about helping clients build healthier relationships with themselves, whether through navigating eating disorders, managing mood swings, overcoming anxiety, or finding peace through life transitions. My specialties include supporting clients through Eating Disorders, Body Image issues, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Interpersonal Challenges, and Stress-related concerns. What makes my approach unique is my blend of evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy with deeper, transformative techniques like Shadow Work. This combination allows us to uncover and heal parts of ourselves that traditional methods may overlook. Through Shadow Work, we dive into those hidden aspects of your identity, allowing for a profound healing journey that can be life-changing.

Dr. Mindy Miller McGuire
Thank you for reaching out! I am a general psychologist and licensed clinical therapist with over 25 years of experience and four years on BetterHelp. I was born and raised in Central New Jersey, enjoying the seasons, playing tennis, and vacationing in Florida. Friends asking for advice led to a career in psychology/social work, which was a good fit. After college and graduate school, I moved to Chicago and, ironically, to South Florida! I am Jewish, married for 31 years, and have three children, ages 26, 23, and 20. My lived experiences in a variety of circumstances allow me to be a very empathetic therapist: Relationships, friendships, spectrum issues, loss, illness, motivation, relational bullying, sociopathy, self-esteem, empowerment/self-strengthening, family issues, career concerns, and sports psychology. At 23, I traded in my tennis racket for figure skates: I have been skating ever since, at the Silver Ladies Freestyle Level, and have tested in Silver Ice Dance and Bronze Pairs. My approach combines guidance and support, motivating others to make life changes as they explore the inner self. Life is full of hills and valleys, and sometimes a steep climb. I provide a different vantage point and insight to begin the journey of change. Each of us is unique, and our therapeutic pathway reflects that individuality. I enjoy helping clients become motivated to make life changes while exploring their inner selves. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with relationship difficulties, parenting, self-esteem and self-empowerment struggles, goal management, career goals/issues, familial concerns, grief and loss, psychopathy, and manipulative tactics within relationships. I take an eclectic approach and enjoy integrating different treatment modalities into sessions to adhere to the individual needs of the client: Psychodynamic, EMDR (I am EMDR trained), Couples therapy (Gottman Level 1); Systemic, Insight-Oriented, Solution-based, Narrative, Rogerian-Strength-based, Emotion Focused Couples Therapy, Vulnerability Cycle Approach, Emotion Focused and Client Focused Therapies, and Cognitive-Behavioral. My specialty is relationships, boundaries, change, organization, and self-control. By helping individuals learn how to respond to others and daily stresses healthily, I help them live happier, more fulfilling lives. I take a client-centered approach to assisting clients to gain clarity, perspective, and self-esteem so they can be their best versions. I particularly enjoy working with couples, helping them communicate and reflect on themselves, each other, and their relationship. Men and women often have very different perceptual styles. Understanding these differences and how to approach and embrace these unique aspects helps couples become stronger and more unified. If you do not see a time on the scheduler that accommodates you, it does not mean that I cannot do a specific time for you. I often schedule "by appointment" significantly earlier in the day and on weekends. I also utilize a sincere approach, so if you desire to be lulled into a false sense of security, I am not the therapist for you. Quotes: "Who is afraid of the wolf does not go into the forest."
