About
My approach is to get patients on the most effective but shortest amount of time possible on medications, get them stabilized to be able to achieve the goals they have for themselves.
Getting the right psychiatric medication can be life-changing and finding someone who truly takes the time to understand you makes all the difference. I specialize in medication management for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD, working with adults navigating everything from career stress and academic pressure in their 20s to the demands of family and professional life in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice in lifespan psychiatric-mental health from the University of Florida and bring both clinical rigor and genuine curiosity to every client.
I take a whole-person approach to medication management: evaluating sleep, diet, movement, work, relationships, and physical health alongside relevant routine labs. Medication, when indicated, is used thoughtfully to stabilize during an episode, then tapered when clinically appropriate. My goal is your long-term wellness, not lifelong medication.
If you've been wondering whether medication might help you feel like yourself again, you're not alone. I'd love to help you find clarity and a plan that truly fits your life. When you're ready to take that next step, I encourage you to schedule an appointment.

I am Elizabeth Solano, LMHC, with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients—from young children and adolescents to adults—navigating depression, anxiety, substance use, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and life transitions. I've also worked closely with the LGBTQIA+ community. I offer sessions in both English and Spanish.
I believe everyone has strengths, and I make it a point to highlight yours throughout our work together. I'll take time to get to know you as an individual—your interests, your passions, and what brought you to therapy in the first place. I'm here to listen without judgment, learn from you, and work collaboratively toward the goals that matter most to you.
We all need support sometimes—a listening ear, a fresh perspective, or help sorting through our thoughts. I know how hard it is to take that first step, but I assure you it's worth it. You are not alone, and I'm here when you're ready.

Hello, my name is Sandy Nguyen, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner credentialed by the ANCC.

I believe the most effective mental health care happens when people feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported as whole individuals—not just treated for symptoms.
My name is Millian Okafor, DNP, PMHNP-BC. I am a board-certified psychiatric provider dedicated to helping individuals navigate emotional, psychological, and life challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. My professional background includes experience working with adults facing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress-related disorders, burnout, mood disorders, and life transitions.
My approach combines psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and patient-centered care recognizing the connection between mental, emotional, and physical well-being. I typically work with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck—seeking symptom relief, healthier coping strategies, or a stronger sense of balance.
I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment process.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Eating disorder therapy is a specialized approach aimed at assisting those who are grappling with a range of eating disorders. These disorders are significant mental health conditions characterized by irregular or unhealthy eating patterns and an intense focus on body weight and shape. Common conditions addressed in Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
At Thriveworks, Eating disorders begins with a thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan. Central to eating disorder therapy is psychotherapy, often employing cognitive behavioral therapy and other specialized techniques to target negative thought patterns.
The signs of an eating disorder can include:
CBT’s remission rate, according to some research, is generally between 50-30% for those seeking assistance for eating disorder symptoms.
The recovery rate for those seeking assistance with eating disorders depends entirely on the individual’s involvement in sessions, the severity of their symptoms, and their willingness to change their eating habits and relationship with food.
Eating disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of Eating disorders will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. Your therapist can help to determine what might be most beneficial for you.
While around 30 million people in the US suffer from eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, many of them don’t get help for these potentially fatal disorders, suffering in silence instead. Thriveworks Orlando Counseling wants to change that.
We have anorexia and bulimia counselors as well as other eating disorder therapists who can step in and help those who are suffering from these conditions. If you are exhibiting symptoms of anorexia, bulimia, or another mental illness, please consider reaching out to Thriveworks Orlando.
Our team of eating disorder therapists at Thriveworks Orlando are here to help you recover.
The ill effects of eating disorders tend to linger; sometimes they even last for a lifetime. The body has to have nutrients to function properly—if these nutrients are denied, the body will malfunction and this will cause a host of problems as well as illnesses and diseases like scurvy, hypertension, and even cardiovascular disease.
The act of purging itself poses a risk; regurgitated food can become a stuck in the throat and cut off the oxygen supply. Those who suffer from eating disorders also tend to carry emotional scars, scars that cause an endless cycle of guilt, shame, and depression.
Are you in Orlando, suffering from an eating disorder? This is a problem you don’t have to face alone. Please consider reaching out to Thriveworks Orlando Counseling. We have counselors who know what you are going through and are capable of helping you deal with it through proper guidance and support.
Contact our office today to meet with one of our eating disorder therapists—give us a call or schedule online to get started.
