Cynthia "Cindy" Milas

Cynthia "Cindy" Milas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and board certified coach based in Florida with 30 years of clinical practice. Her approach blends established therapeutic methods with focused coaching techniques to address a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and career or life transitions. She draws on emotion-focused work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused coaching to help people identify patterns and build practical skills.

Milas also works with issues that commonly accompany longer-term life changes such as aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and end-of-life matters. She attends to attachment and family-of-origin dynamics, codependency, boundaries, shame and guilt, and challenges tied to self-esteem and self-love. Clients and partners collaboratively develop individualized plans aimed at immediate problem-solving as well as longer term resilience and balance.

Her practice is rooted in a client-centered stance that emphasizes respectful listening and tailored interventions. Milas integrates attachment-based perspectives and emotionally focused techniques when relational patterns are central, and uses solution-focused methods to set concrete, achievable goals.
