I want you to know that when you come into therapy, I see you—not just a diagnosis, a list of symptoms, or the challenges that brought you here. You are a whole person with your own experiences, strengths, values, and story.

My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without fear of judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. You can be honest, ask questions, laugh, cry, vent, or simply take things one step at a time. Therapy is your space, and we will move at a pace that feels right for you.

I believe therapy works best as a partnership. We’ll work together to better understand what’s going on, identify what you want for your life, and create goals that feel realistic and meaningful to you—not just goals that look good on paper.

Most importantly, I believe that change is possible. It doesn’t have to happen overnight, and progress isn’t always a straight line. Even when things feel uncertain, overwhelming, or slow, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’ll be here to support, encourage, and challenge you when needed—while helping you recognize the strength and ability you already have within you to create meaningful change.

If you've been in therapy before and felt like sessions were either too heavy or too surface-level, you might be looking for something different. I'm a bilingual English and Albanian-speaking Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 15 years of experience. I help people process past trauma and how it shapes day-to-day life, while working through current challenges at the same time.

Virtual • Coral Gables, FL


You’re tired of explaining yourself. To doctors, to family, to people who mean well and still don’t get it. You’re the strong one, the responsible one, the person everyone leans on, and nobody sees what it’s costing you.

I’m Dr. Daniela De Medeiros, a clinical psychologist in Miami with over a decade of experience working with teens and adults from all walks of life. I work with people navigating anxiety, panic disorder, depression, ADHD, trauma, low self-esteem, grief, life transitions, identity, family conflict, relationship struggles, women’s issues, and the emotional weight of chronic illness and chronic pain.

I hold a doctoral degree in clinical psychology (Psy.D.) and a master’s in mental health counseling, with specialized training in health psychology. I’m also trilingual and conduct sessions in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Most people who find me are exhausted, a little unsure therapy will even help, and carrying more than they let anyone see. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start.

My approach is solution-oriented and direct, but always collaborative. I'm not here to just listen and nod. I'm here to work with you toward change. I believe in naming things clearly, asking the hard questions, and building a plan you can actually use. As I tell my clients: if you're not changing it, you're choosing it. My job is to help you make that choice consciously, and to help you get where you're trying to go.

I specialize in anger management and mood regulation, problem-solving, depression, trauma and anxiety. I work well with clients who want a therapist who will challenge them as much as support them. Someone who brings structure and honesty to the room, without losing sight of compassion.

If you're ready to start building the version of yourself you actually want to be, I'd be glad to help you get there.

"I want you to become the expert on you." You are the expert on your own life, but sometimes life layers challenges that make it hard to see the way forward—anxiety that keeps you awake, the heavy weight of grief, or the lingering echoes of trauma. My name is June Pittman, and I founded Positive FX Counseling & Wellness because I believe that even in our darkest chapters, we have the innate capacity to create a 'positive effect' on our own mental well-being.

Based in West Palm Beach, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to helping adults and adolescents navigate the complexities of identity and loss. With a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University and a background in organizational systems, I bring a grounded, holistic perspective to the healing process—helping you bridge the gap between where you are and the resilient future you deserve.
