I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Master Certified Addiction Professional with a deep passion for motivating and advocating for my clients. I hold a master’s degree in Educational Psychology, a second master’s in Mental Health Counseling, and a Ph.D. in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Marriage and Family Counseling from Barry University.
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.
"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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Pembroke Pines
Searching for therapists in Pembroke Pines starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or a major life transition. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Pembroke Pines, the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Florida while still letting you work with a licensed therapist who fits your schedule and preferences. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Pembroke Pines can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session cost and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can compare bios, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
