Have you ever felt like you're showing up for everyone else, but somewhere along the way, you've lost sight of yourself?Hi, I'm Molly, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience in behavioral health. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, identity and LGBTQIA+-related concerns, women's issues, and substance use and addiction recovery. I also have a special interest in perinatal and postpartum mental health, supporting new and expecting parents through maternal mental health concerns. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and supported in whatever brings you to therapy, no matter how big or small it may seem. I bring warmth, patience, and genuine curiosity to every session.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Aventura, FL


It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

Natalia Beltran

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Miramar, FL


I am accepting clients Tuesday–Friday mornings and early afternoons. Virtual only on Thursdays and Fridays.

For the past three years, I’ve had the honor of sitting with people through their real-life ups and downs, helping them build confidence, heal, and feel more connected to themselves. I’m a therapist who keeps it real: open, genuine, and never judgmental. You can talk to me about anything, and my priority is always to make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and never rushed. We’ll go at your pace, together.

I graduated from Penn State with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies and earned my master’s in Professional Counseling Psychology from Florida International University. I’m fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and I care deeply about creating a safe space for people from all cultures and backgrounds.

If you’re looking for a therapist who is easy to talk to, supportive, and truly gets it, then I’d love to connect with you!

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


If you keep finding yourself in the same arguments, the same shutdowns, or the same loop of feeling more reactive than you want to be, you are not broken. There is often a younger version of you driving the bus in those moments. I work with teens, adults, and women navigating relationship strain, family of origin patterns, anxiety, and grief, including the kind that does not involve a death. Clients describe me as warm, steady, and easy to talk to, and they often say I notice what they did not realize they were sharing.

Psychologist

Virtual • Florida


Hello! My name is Hunter Soens and I am very excited for the opportunity to work together. I have had training experiences primarily working with college students, in a hospital setting for eating disorders, and working with individual athletes and teams. I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of South Florida, my master's degree in sport and performance psychology from the University of Denver, and my doctorate in counseling psychology from Springfield College. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, men's issues, and disordered eating, and I take an LGBTQIA+ affirming approach with every client. When working with me, expect a warm, direct, and humorous conversation rather than a lecture.
