Couples therapists in Winter Park, FL

I was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.

Hey, I’m Niki — I’m a therapist who loves working with people in all stages of recovery, whether you’re newly sober, years into it, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself after major life changes. I help adults explore behavioral patterns, long-term sobriety, self-discovery, and identity as they figure out who they are beyond the challenges they’ve faced.

I know from both personal and professional experience that healing isn’t linear. As a mom and someone who’s faced her own mental health and substance use challenges, I bring understanding, honesty, and zero judgment to our sessions. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are — no pressure, no pretense.

As a therapist, I am dedicated to providing exceptional service with a strong work ethic, specializing in therapy for anxiety, depression, and trauma. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and am licensed as a Mental Health Counselor. I have extensive experience working with diverse clients and populations and am certified in trauma-focused therapy. I am committed to achieving the best outcomes for my clients and am always available to address any questions or concerns.

You may be feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, especially if you’ve experienced trauma, toxic relationships, or emotional pain that keeps resurfacing. It can feel overwhelming trying to move forward while still carrying the weight of the past. You don’t have to do this alone. I provide a supportive space where you can begin to understand your story, break free from old patterns, and move toward a more peaceful, meaningful, and purpose-driven life.

I'm Patricia Grullón, a licensed marriage and family therapist working with children, teens, and adults. I specialize in life transitions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship challenges — and I'm here to help you understand yourself more deeply.

A bit about me

I bring lived experience to this work. I've navigated my own transitions, relational challenges, and the journey of being an immigrant — and that shapes how I show up for my clients every day. I believe deeply in the healing power of therapy, and I've seen firsthand what's possible when you commit to the process.

I work with:

• Individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, identity, and self-worth
• Couples and families working through conflict, communication breakdowns, and disconnection
• Professionals processing career loss, burnout, reinvention, and the grief that comes with it
• My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are — and helping you figure out where you actually want to go.
• Telehealth available across Florida. Bilingual in English and Spanish.
• In-person in Fort Lauderdale.

I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.
