Hi, I’m Xenia Hatzilias.
Hi, I’m Xenia, a Licensed Therapist and Qualified Supervisor for Registered Mental Health Interns in Florida. I work with women who struggle with putting themselves first and notice they are the support person for everyone else. Maybe you feel like you can’t lean on others or ask for help because that feels like even more of a chore. You might be at the point where it’s starting to feel too overwhelming, you can’t handle all of it on your own, and resentment towards your partner or others might already be starting to build.
My passion is working with women in their motherhood era. Whether you are going through fertility difficulties, pregnancy loss, anxiety or depression during pregnancy, you’ve experienced birth trauma, or just trying to get through postpartum. I’m here and I’d love to offer you a space, in-person or virtually, to work through everything you are experiencing. It’s hard to talk to others sometimes, you feel like you have to be “okay,” when you’re just trying to keep it all together. This is your pace to let it all go.
We can explore any emotions, big or small, that come up for you. We can work together to process what you’re going through now and set boundaries for yourself and others, even if that feels impossible right now. You don’t want to lose those relationships you have but you do need them to change.
One of the most important things in therapy is building the relationship between the client and therapist. Building rapport is incredibly important to me because this is your space and your time too. I look forward to working together
I offer a comfortable space, whether we are meeting in-person in my office, or my virtual office.
This work can be challenging
Which is why it is so important to build our toolbox. I utilize EMDR Therapy in sessions in order to process difficult memories. We will also work to develop tools you can use outside of the therapy room, including boundaries, coping skills, breathing techniques, and a support system.
We will work through some very difficult times together. I am here to offer a safe space where you can communicate freely and experience your feelings without having to hold back or support anyone else. Taking care of yourself is just one step in your journey, but truly one of the most important. I am looking forward to meeting you!
WHY WORK WITH ME
more about me
I love to travel! Growing up I spent my summers in Greece, where my Dad lives, and continue to take my family there to visit family, and appreciate the culture. The other half of my family live in Canada and while I don’t visit as often, it is a big part of where I grew up and my background.
In my free time I spend time with my daughter, husband, family, and friends. I love being active and taking time for myself whether it’s going on walks outside, going to the gym, or trying a new workout class. My area has grown so much and trying new coffee spots and restaurants is a fun part of my weekend. I love incorporating art projects into my day to day as well and have recently been incorporating coloring as a fun way to unwind and decompress. Audiobooks have become an essentials part of my day, and I switch between fun romcom audiobooks and educational/informational podcasts.
My cat, Belly, is in many of my virtual sessions and is a special part of me because I rescued her while I was in Graduate school in New Orleans. She was a “foster fail,” and I am so lucky she found me!
“When a client steps into my therapy office, my goal is to create an environment that feels immediately calming and safe.”
