Welcome to Integrated Family Behavioral Health & Counseling PLLC! I'm Mihaela Vladu, PMHNP-BC, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16+ years of experience in healthcare, dedicated to helping individuals achieve lasting mental wellness and regain control of their lives.
I provide compassionate, personalized, and evidence-based care in a safe and supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. My approach focuses on treating the whole person—not just symptoms—while working collaboratively with you to reach your goals.
I specialize in working with a diverse range of individuals, including younger/older adults, children aged 6 and up, women dealing specifically with trauma and abuse, and veterans, as well as active-duty personnel experiencing PTSD. As a certified ADHD specialist, I provide targeted, evidence-based interventions to help individuals improve focus and daily functioning. I also have extensive experience treating bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, panic disorder, OCD, and other complex mental health conditions.
Areas of Expertise:
• Dual-Diagnosis Care (SUD + mood/anxiety/psychotic disorders)
• MAT: Buprenorphine/Suboxone inductions & maintenance; relapse-prevention planning
• Alcohol/Opioid Withdrawal & Detox protocols (court order MAT program, inpatient, outpatient, and halfway houses)
• Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Psychosis
• Residential/PHP/IOP programmed care & step-down planning
• Trauma-informed care, veteran populations, and complex comorbidity
I believe people deserve to feel understood before they’re asked to change. My approach to therapy is direct and collaborative. I work primarily with men and couples who feel stuck in patterns of conflict, disconnection, defensiveness, or shutting down, and want to better understand themselves and the people they care about.

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 Aurora
Searching for therapists in Aurora starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare Aurora therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, experience, and what sessions may look like before you book.
In a smaller city like Aurora, the right fit may be nearby, or it may be easier to find through virtual therapy with a therapist licensed in Illinois. In-person care may work well if you prefer a local office, while virtual appointments can add more options when your schedule or location limits what is available nearby. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can also help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Aurora can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and book directly when you’re ready.
