I have more than 30 years of experience in the behavioral health field and have been in private practice since 2003. I work with adults, older adults, adolescents, individuals, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, grief, stress, relationship challenges, ADHD, anger, impulse control, substance use concerns, cultural or ethnic issues, and major life transitions. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology in Cuba in 1982 and later completed my Master’s degree at Florida International University in 1998. My background has shaped a warm, culturally sensitive, and practical approach to therapy.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult at first. My goal is to help clients feel safe, respected, and supported as they take that courageous first step toward feeling better and becoming a healthier version of themselves.

"Are you "powering through" your day only to feel completely exhausted and disconnected when it’s over?
Burnout starts with exhaustion, but it rarely stops there. Left unchecked, it can lead to a deep sense of isolation, leaving you feeling like no one truly understands the weight you’re carrying. This often spirals into depression, anxiety and substance abuse, making it even harder to manage the demands of ADHD or the habits—like substance use—that we sometimes use to cope.
Before becoming a therapist, I practiced family law for 20 years. My experience taught me how to ask the hard questions in a way that is respectful and caring. I know from experience that professionals often feel they have to keep up a "mask" of competency, even when they are struggling internally. In our work together, we drop the mask and embrace reality.
If we can improve self-honesty and communication, we can develop the insight needed to stop the cycle of isolation and support positive and lasting change.
Hi, I’m Monica Wacks, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MS, LMHC) and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200). I am deeply passionate about personal growth and development, and I built my practice to facilitate real, grounded transformation.
I work with teens (13+), adults, and couples who are ready to step off autopilot, break old patterns, simplify their daily lives, and engage in meaningful personal exploration. My background combines rigorous clinical training with integrative mind-body practices, allowing me to view mental health through a holistic lens. Whether you are navigating life transitions, seeking stronger relationship dynamics, or working through stress and emotional hurdles, my goal is to help you build internal resilience that lasts well beyond our sessions.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Deerfield Beach
Searching for therapists in Deerfield Beach starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for training and specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Deerfield Beach is a smaller coastal city, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger nearby markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their session style fits what you want from one on one therapy near me. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they communicate, what concerns they often support, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Deerfield Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before you begin. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
