If you're looking for a therapist who honors your story, sees the systems around you, and supports your growth with compassion and curiosity, look no further. With over 15 years of experience in mental health, I have had the privilege of working alongside extraordinary people, believing that people heal best when they feel seen. I value the concept of slowing down, breathing, and reconnecting with one's strengths. I work with individuals, teens, couples, and families, and I'm especially passionate about supporting people who juggle multiple roles or feel the weight of others' expectations. I have a bachelor's in human development and family studies, a master's in clinical mental health counseling, and I am currently working towards a doctorate degree in marriage and family therapy.

“We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing”. -Charles Schaefer. Play is vital for children to express themselves and learn about their surroundings and general environment. In addition to exploration, it is essential for their development. Allowing the space for them to play freely generates the possibility of understanding their world and their motivation. Instead of the traditional format of communication, we often learn more about a child's thoughts, feelings, motivations, and struggles by watching them play.

To be able to give a child power, motivation, and confidence will set the foundation for a successful life. Often times when dealing with a traumatic situation and learning to deal and cope with it effectively, allows a child (or anyone for that matter) to become the best versions of themselves and learn to move forward.

Play Therapy sessions with a Licensed clinician that cares and helps create a safe place. I guide my clients and their parents every step of the way and implement various methods to help them develop new attitudes towards all of life’s most complex matters. The works I do benefits children coming from abusive homes and dealing with some of those challenges.

Deborah Mondlak

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.1 mi away • Hollywood, FL


I'm Deborah Mondlak, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker based in Hollywood, Florida, specializing in trauma, grief, and life transitions.

My work is grounded in the belief that healing doesn't have to take years. I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy® (ART), an evidence-based approach that helps people process painful memories and difficult experiences rapidly — often within a few sessions — without requiring you to talk through every detail. I also draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and somatic approaches depending on what each person needs.

I work with adults navigating loss, major life changes, and the aftermath of traumatic experiences. I am also fluent in Spanish and welcome Spanish-speaking clients.

I received my Master of Social Work from Wurzweiler School of Social Work at Yeshiva University and have trained extensively in trauma-focused modalities.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Lauderdale

Searching for therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with knowing what kind of support you want. A therapist may help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare Fort Lauderdale therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Their bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect in a session.

Fort Lauderdale has a broad mental health care community, with options across neighborhoods like Victoria Park, Las Olas, and nearby areas in Broward County. Your search may include in-person appointments near home or work, virtual sessions that fit your schedule, or a mix of both. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that work for you, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and decide who may be a strong fit.

Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists in Fort Lauderdale, FL who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before you book.
