Mental healthcare has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I am committed to helping others. My therapeutic style builds on my compassionate, empathetic, and attentive nature. In the past, I have worked well with clients with anxiety, complex trauma, PTSD, narcissistic abuse, personality and/or mood disorders. I genuinely care about the people who entrust me within my therapy practice and consider being a therapist one of the greatest privileges of my life.
*Former clients are welcome to reach out if they want to resume therapy, even if I do not have scheduled openings on Headway.
Sometimes we may feel unhappy, lonely, or a bit stuck and want something more for ourselves and our relationships. Through counseling, I can help you create a more meaningful and fulfilling life, while also decreasing feelings of discontent. Working together, we can establish a supportive, therapeutic connection that is tailored to your individual needs and challenges to help change your life for the better. We will identify the barriers that may be preventing you, your child, or your families from feeling happy and connected with others. Please feel welcome to schedule a consultation with me to chat about how we can get started.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, and I earned my Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. I completed my Undergraduate in Psychology from Florida A&M University. I’m certified and experienced in EMDR- Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing, CBT- Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Domestic Violence, Juvenile Intervention Treatment, and I'm Nationally Certified in Anger Management. I’m also a Qualified Supervisor.
Taking the first step toward therapy can be difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 16 years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. Throughout my career, I have worked in community mental health and held leadership roles overseeing outpatient mental health programs.
I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, infertility, women’s issues, and life transitions. I believe that while our experiences shape us, they do not have to define us. I am trained EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs and goals.
I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.
My name is Daniel OIaciregui M.S. , LMHC. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have been working as a therapist since 2017. I have the pleasure of working with a wide variety of clients. I have been working with a diverse client base. I utilize these approaches with my clients to help address and manage their needs. I believe it is essential to creating a partnership with clients to maximize success.
Most people arrive at therapy carrying something they've never said out loud. My job is to make saying it possible by being someone worth trusting with it.
I've been a practicing counselor for over a decade. I also teach and supervise the next generation of therapists, which keeps me sharp and current. But experience and credentials aren't what makes the work good. What makes therapy work is that I'm a real person in the room with you: direct when that helps, quiet when that helps more. I will never ask you to do something I'm not willing to do myself.
My education isn't limited to my degrees. My clients have taught me more about resilience, compassion, and what it means to live fully than any program did. I hold that as sacred, and I take you as seriously as I take that.
Good for you for taking the next step in taking care of your mental health! I am excited to help! I have Masters of Science in Counseling, I have an Lpc and have Worked with adults, children and teens. I have worked in higher levels of care such as residential treatment, PHP and IOP as well as outpatient. I have worked closely with eating disorders, self- esteem, anxiety and the LGBTQIA+ Community.
Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a heart for supporting individuals through the transformative journey of parenthood. Specializing in perinatal mental health, I provide compassionate, bilingual therapy to help you navigate the emotional highs and lows of pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. With a degree from Rutgers University and years of experience working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, I understand that every journey is unique.
My approach is warm, empowering, and always centered on meeting you exactly where you are. Together, we’ll create a space for healing, growth, and renewed strength.
