I am Kathleen Muller, PMHNP-BC, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner I have experience in providing compassionate and comprehensive mental health care to adults. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from Walden University. Over the years, I've dedicated myself to helping individuals navigate various mental health challenges and life transitions, always focusing on creating a trusting, supportive, and effective therapeutic relationship. Together, I'd like to help you set mental health goals at a pace you're comfortable with.
I believe that therapy is a cooperative, mutual experience that changes all involved. I have a welcoming and empathetic approach that helps clients feel comfortable with the therapeutic process. I earned my master's degree from the University of South Florida in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling. I have been working in private practice since 2020. I specialize in working with the queer community, relational and religious trauma, and highly sensitive individuals.
Hello, my name is Aracelys Cruz, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I completed my advanced training in psychiatric nursing at FNU/PMHNP-BC. I’m passionate about supporting people through life’s challenges and helping them feel heard, respected, and empowered. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, combining therapy, lifestyle guidance, and medication management when needed. My goal is to walk alongside you as we build a path toward balance and wellness.
I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with over 19 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including addictions (drug, alcohol, gambling, eating, shopping and hoarding), depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, trauma, children and adolescents in foster care, OCD and eating disorders. I am a qualified supervisor for therapists and have treated professionals with substance abuse disorders to maintain their licensure.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving women in Montana and Florida through my private practice, Heart Development Strategies, LLC. I earned my Master of Social Work from Western New Mexico University and hold a graduate certificate in Rural Community Social Work. I am trained in EMDR, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, Internal Family Systems, and strengths-based, person-centered approaches.
I specialize in working with emotionally and mentally exhausted women navigating anxiety, burnout, compassion fatigue, trauma, and major life transitions. Many of the women I work with are leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and caregivers who have spent years holding everything together while quietly losing touch with themselves. Women often come to me because they want someone real, warm, honest, and straightforward. I am not here to impress you or give you a script to follow. I meet you where you are with truth, compassion, and practical support.
Please note, outside of Headway insurance I also accept Mountain Health Co-Op, Peak PPO.
