As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years of experience in supporting clients at the residential level of care with a nationally recognized organization, I am hoping to continue fulfilling my purpose in providing high quality therapy outside of the residential setting.

"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.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 20 years of experience providing compassionate mental health services to children, adolescents, and families. I’m skilled in helping clients navigate behavioral concerns, emotional challenges, trauma, anxiety, anger management, self-esteem issues, family conflict, and crisis situations. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with at-risk youth, foster care populations, and families facing complex emotional and behavioral challenges. In both English and Haitian Creole, my clinical approach is rooted in creating a safe, supportive, and culturally responsive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow.
I'm a board-certified psychiatrist based in Miami, Florida, offering telehealth appointments for adults across Florida. My practice focuses on anxiety and depression, and I take the time to truly understand what brings each person to treatment before we talk about any plan. I combine medication management with psychotherapy so that each session addresses the full picture of your mental health. If you've been struggling to find a provider who listens carefully, asks the right questions, and works collaboratively with you, I'd love to connect.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Finding ADHD therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with executive function skills, organization, emotional regulation, time management, and patterns that may come with ADHD, such as anxiety or depression. Some people also look for medication management, which is handled by a psychiatrist or another qualified prescriber rather than a therapist. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can involve different needs, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and client focus match what you are looking for.
Fort Lauderdale offers a range of local care options, from offices near downtown and Flagler Village to virtual appointments across Florida. If local appointment times are limited or your schedule changes week to week, virtual care can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist with ADHD experience. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether their approach includes cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, skills-based support, or work with co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their style, structure sessions, and support people living with ADHD.
Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists who are accepting new clients, compare bios, check whether your plan is in network, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can review available times and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
